Chapter 988
As expected, according to the report, apart from being a little anaemic and a little weak, Frederick's body was not in a bad shape. The reason why his hair suddenly turned grey was similar to what Carson had analysed. It was obvious that the lack of nutrition and deficiency of melanin secretion had caused his hair to turn grey. As for whether his hair could return to normal or not, the doctor did not give a definite answer.
Regarding that, Frederick did not ask anything, as if he was in despair and had no motivation to continue living.
Others initially thought that after getting discharged from the hospital, he would definitely be in a state of dejection for a long period of time. Unexpectedly, the first thing he did after getting discharged was to fly to the vast ocean region that was determined to be the site of the disaster.
Looking at the boundless ocean from a distance, Frederick stood there for a whole day. Then, he took off his sunglasses and placed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums he had brought on the cliff. He did not say a word. At sunset, he turned and left.
Soon, as the family of the deceased, he received a notice. Some people even came to pay him a visit and offered compensation. All of those were handled by Chet. From the beginning to the end, he did not show up, nor did he say a word.
Only a few people knew about the list of the deceased, but Frederick's sudden grey hair was visible to everyone. In the blink of an eye, the news about a "charming silver hair young master" spread like wildfire in Casterwich City, and all of a sudden, grey hair became a viral fashion trend. Many young men followed suit and dyed their hair grey.
Frederick turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He didn't care about anything. He even seldom participated in social activities.
That day, after getting off work, Frederick bought a few meat buns on the way home.
As soon as he entered the door, a chubby and snowy-white puppy ran to his legs. It blinked its dark and shiny eyes, even trying to climb up his legs, clinging onto him.
It barked.
In an instant, Frederick's gaze softened a little. He squatted down and smoothened the puppy's fur, "You greedy little one. You smelled the meat, didn't you?"
He took out a meat bun and put it close to the puppy's mouth.
He caressed the puppy's soft and clean fur as if he was caressing the person he loved the most, his stiff face tinged with a sense of emotion. That was what he had to do every day when he returned home for that period of time.
His mind was full of scenes of the puppy chasing after Alicia, messing around. Looking at the dog, Frederick felt like she was still by his side!
As his gaze inadvertently landed at some point, some red marks on the paws of the puppy came into his sight. Frederick instantly turned furious, "Who is it? Who dared abuse Dotter?"
Frederick picked up the puppy and sat on the sofa, gently pinching its small paws with a murderous look on his face.
Soon, the butler, Axel and the servant who took care of the dog ran out, "Master... Master Frederick?" "Didn't I tell you to take good care of my dog? What are you doing? A bunch of trash, you're all fired!"
His angry roar scared the servant so much that she immediately knelt down with a thump.
"Master Frederick, the red marks on Dotter's paws were caused by fungus infection from its own bite! Due to the changing of seasons, this is very normal. Many small animals are like this. We applied medicine! Master Frederick, we've always been very attentive in taking care of it. We really did not abuse it..."
As soon as Chet walked in, he saw such a scene.
At that moment, Axel also took a step forward and said.
"Yes, Master Frederick! We invited a veterinarian to come over today to especially check on the dog and also sanitised the doghouse. The veterinarian also said so. In addition, light fungus infection is good for strengthening the immune system of small animals. It happens easily when the season or weather changes. If it isn't serious, it can be cured without treatment, so it isn't necessarily a bad thing!"
Lowering his head, Axel felt a little guilty as he had made up most of what he had just said. After all, during the days without Miss Blanchard, everyone at home was like walking on thin ice. Recently, they even trembled with fear every day!
According to Frederick's current temper, he was really a man of ice and fire! He could either freeze or burn someone to death!
"Is that so?"
Frederick muttered. Suddenly, he held the puppy's head and rubbed it softly. All the anger faded away in an instant.
"All right. You're dismissed!"
Axel bent down to help the servant up. Hinting the servant with a glance, the servant ran away as if she was running from a disaster.
Seeing Chet walk in, Axel nodded at him as a form of greeting. He then slowly moved to the side and ordered the servant to make two cups of coffee and bring them over.
Only then did Frederick glance at Chet. He frowned slightly, "What's the matter? Why are you here?"
Didn't they just part ways not long ago? Why did he need to come over in person? With the restless dog in his arms, Frederick was seemingly displeased that someone had disturbed his alone time.
Chet could also understand his feelings, just like how he could understand every bit of his emotions just by looking at his black outfit from head to toe, and from all his small gestures. Instead of looking down on him, he had even more respect for him. A master with feelings and righteousness was more important than anything else!
After calming down, Chet said cautiously, "She... she called again! I think it's better to let you know!"
Chet gulped nervously and glanced at him before saying, "Danica!"
Since Alicia was no longer there, it was meaningless to get the antidote. He had thought of whether he should continue to do things on behalf of him, but in the end, he did not dare make a decision for him regarding that matter... After all, they were a master and subordinate. Moreover, that was his private affair, so it was not the same in nature!
Frederick paused at the mention of that name. When he looked up again, his deep eyes flashed with a malicious glint. Suddenly, Chet felt a chill run down his spine.
"When?"
"Tonight, at nine o'clock. At the small forest behind Somerset Bridge. She wants cash and a car prepared for her. Once we pay, well get the
goods. The forest is dense, a net
there are no surveillance cameras, but the infrastructures there and the roads are well-developed
Obviously, she had taken some considerations. She was afraid of losing her last bargaining chip! However, it was also obvious that she did not know about Alicia's matter. Otherwise, she would not be so foolish to risk her neck at that time! She had been searching for him so frequently recently. She had to have run out of tricks and had lost all her support!
As both parties had their own
concerns, the negotiation had not reached a consensus yet. For that reason, he went to meet Danica. Of course, he got the model of the lock then Pictures of it were also taken by his people later on. Hence, was able to recreate the imitated model.
"Frederick..." At present, that deal was completely meaningless! Was he still going to attend to it? Or...
"We're going as planned! I'll go in person!"
