Chapter 986
In order to move around conveniently, she didn't bring too much suitcases, but only a small one, which was filled with the necessities. Other things, such as clothes and supplies were either the disposable ones, or she would just throw them away. Other than that, she
would send them back via courier.
As for the small suitcase she carried with her, the money was just secondary. What she cared about the most was the results of her research in the past few months and the design of the new products. It was her hard work, and she had not even had the time to make it before it was stolen. When she thought about all the hard work from the past few months that were going to being in vain, Alicia's heart ached.
In addition, she was left behind alone with no money or cell phone. It made Alicia feel extremely wronged.
Wasn't it obvious that he took advantage of her being pregnant?
If she hadn't realized that the rope she had tied on the suitcase was gone when she was boarding, she wouldn't even have known that her suitcase had been switched. She first thought that perhaps someone had taken the wrong suitcase while waiting for the flight, so she wanted to get off the plane to ask about it. While she was at it, her bag ended up being cut open by someone. She could only stand and stare as someone took her purse and ran away.
Wasn't it obvious that he was just bullying her because she was pregnant, and couldn't chase after him? She felt wronged, indescribably aggrieved. There was nothing she wanted to do other than crying.
It was because of all the troubles that she missed the flight!
Was there anyone who was more unfortunate than her?
Alicia had been communicating with the officers. She did not expect to get her suitcase and everything back, but without a passport and a cell phone, how was she supposed to get a ticket back home?
It was especially so, being in a place that she was not familiar with at all!
It had been a long time since she last had to figure something out in a situation like that. The more anxious she was, the more she couldn't remember a single phone number. Fortunately, with the help of many others, she finally found her own suitcase that had been switched, and even though it had been emptied and she had lost her money, her clothes and notebook were luckily still there. Looking through the notebook filled with messy sketching, she felt lucky that she was used to following her heart. She drew her inspirations in the form of elements on the papers, purely for the sake of reminding herself. In the eyes of outsiders, they might just seem like useless sketches, but in a designer's hands, it was an endless stream of inspiration.
Holding the notebook, Alicia felt relieved. Luckily, it was not a premium notebook. She just lost a few pieces of scattered papers. It was not a big loss!
The results of a few months of hard work! Thinking about it that way, it wasn't too big a loss for her to miss the flight!
After digging through her pockets and found some money, Alicia felt a little better. At the moment, fortunately, the staff also managed to contact the friend of Mrs. Crouch for her, whom she had met before. An hour later, Alicia left with Mrs. Campbell. From the beginning to the end, she had been busy with her own trivial matters. She did not even know that the flight that she didn't board got into an accident halfway.
Because of the incident, Alicia was trapped in
Malayas. She had to stay back and complete all kinds of formal procedures to find a way to return home as soon as possible.
At the same time, in Casterwich City, Frederick had not slept for several days and nights. He looked like a corpse that was wrinkling. Similarly, Chet could only take a nap on the chair at the airport from time to time.
Once the phone rang, both of them sprung up like a spring. Then, Chet went to a quiet corner to pick up the phone. Frederick habitually checked whether there were any latest updates on his cell phone. He couldn't wait, so he called again to ask.
When Chet returned with his phone, he saw that Frederick was again seeking help everywhere. He even lowered his voice and stayed relatively humble, which was very rare. Unconsciously, Chet clenched his fists. Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he heard Frederick saying urgently.
"What have you got there? Any news? Did they find the plane? It's so big and there are so many people on it. How can there be no news about it at all?"
Coming back to his senses, Chet clenched his fists even tighter. "Frederick..." "Why are you stuttering? Just tell me!" Impatient, Frederick pushed on Chet's shoulders. He held them so tight as if he was going to crush his shoulders.
"I want to hear the truth! No matter what kind of news..." He could take it!
The last few words turned into silent trembles the moment they reached the tip of his tongue.
"The police from Vieto has just released a notice saying that the plane has disappeared over multiple overlapping sea zones. They found what seems like a wreckage of a plane. They're still searching and rescuing above the sea now... they are predicting that no one will survive!" "No, that's impossible! Once it's found, send someone to rescue her immediately! There's still a chance! Ally won't die! She'll wait for me. She'll definitely wait for me..."
Overwhelmed, Frederick blacked out.
"Frederick! Frederick! Help, someone! Send him to the hospital!"
After the hustle and bustle, one corner of the airport turned into a mess again. Chet and a few subordinates helped Frederick out of the airport, and then quickly contacted Carson and the others!
When Frederick opened his eyes
again, whiteness came into his
vision. He instantly sat up and pulled out the needle from his hand. He then lifted the quilt, put his shoes on and got up. However, just as he stood up, he felt the world spinning, and his legs were like jelly. He had to sit back down on the bed and close his eyes.
"Frederick, are you awake?"
Chet came forward and helped him up. Carson also put his hand on his shoulder and said.
"Don't force yourself! For a few days, you did not eat, drink, or rest. Your body can no longer take it. Now your blood sugar is low, and your body is weak!"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me!" Frederick swatted his hand away and grabbed Chet's arm, "Did you find her?"
He wanted to see her, no matter dead or alive!
Chet was silent, and Frederick wanted to get up again. Carson raised his hand and pressed him down.
"Frederick, can you accept the reality? Do you know that you were in a coma for three days? Now it's been more than ten days in total. Even if a person is lucky enough to survive, he or she will still be starved to death, and if not, frozen to death!"
"What did you say?"
Frederick grabbed Carson's collar with his eyes bloodshot, and he jumped up. "She won't die! She won't! She won't! You take that back!"
Carson grabbed Frederick's collar as well, not holding in anymore.
"How long are you going to lie to yourself? Even if you send all the
planes around the world to her, what
could it help with? It's the boundless
ocean and a missing plane we're
talking about! It's not that we didn't work hard, but even if it's the
president who got into a disaster, we wouldn't be able to do anything. Don't you understand? Chet didn't have the guts to tell you, but I do. The government has officially announced that all passengers and crew members on the plane have died!"
"Stop talking! I don't want to listen!"
Frederick's eyes bulged out as he threw a punch at him. Carson was also not willing to give in. In the hospital ward, the two shouted and fought. At the side, Chet was completely dumbfounded. It took him a long while to come back to his senses. "Master Vives! Frederick! Stop fighting..."
Chet finally found an opportunity.
After getting a punch from each of them, he managed to separate the two. The three of them were panting. One of them sat weakly on the bed, the other limped towards the wall, and the last one retreated to the sofa, clutching his chest. Chet wiped the corner of his mouth and grimaced in pain.
Who did he even provoke?
After a moment of silence, Carson spoke again.
"Frederick, I know you and Alicia are very close. We are also sorrowful, but there are some things that can't be done by humans. You must accept the reality..."
