Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 2295

Alice stared at Henrick's serious expression in a daze.

She really couldn't bring herself to feel any ounce of anger when he had this expression on his face.

"Humph! We'll talk about it when you actually manage to get me. You're all talk and no actions," she huffed. She wasn't like any other women who would fall for sweet talk.

Henrick thought for a moment before he sent a message to Josue. Although he had trouble with his right arm, he managed to type out the words correctly.

"Josue, bring a rose with you when you come over in the afternoon," the text read.

Josue replied quickly.

"May Mr. Henrick successfully win over your wife's heart."

Henrick fell silent as he wondered, just where did Josue get the idea that Henrick had succeeded in his pursuit after Alice?

However, the two words "your wife" pleased him a lot.

He smiled and glanced at Alice, who was eating with her head lowered. He then replied to Josue, "Remember, roses should only be the best, freshest, with dewdrops on top of the petals."

"Mr. Henrick, there would be no dewdrops as it is already noon. Are you trying to make things more difficult for me?" came the reply from Josue.

"Regardless, I only want the prettiest flower for her. My Allie deserves only the best."

"Mr. Henrick, I'm so jealous!"

Only then did Henrick put down his phone with a smile.

Just then, the doctor entered the ward for a routine examination.

There was no trace of blood oozing out of his wound. After the examination, he put Henrick on the drip.

Alice then gave him a quick wipe down. The weather was extremely hot, and although the air conditioner in the ward was set to the lowest temperature, Henrick was still sweating all over.

After wiping him down several times, Alice couldn't help but blurt out, "What are you, made entirely from water? How are you sweating so profusely?"

Henrick glanced at her as he answered, "Allie, Lemmon City is much hotter than River City. It's so uncomfortable here."

Alice looked at him and replied in a cold voice, "And there you were talking about living here as my husband. Seeing that you couldn't even handle this much, how are you going to live here for the rest of your life?"

Upon hearing this, Henrick felt a little anxious. "Allie, give me some time. I will get used to it." His tone was very soft and firm.

He could adapt to the climate in other countries, and he could also adapt to the climate here.

Looking at the concern on his face, Alice's heart softened again. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I've really lost to you!" She realized that she would probably have to devote the rest of her life to Henrick.

He smiled at her weakly in return. He felt really dizzy and wanted to talk to Alice, but in the end, he couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell asleep.

Only then did Alice let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he needed a lot of rest. Maybe he was taking her feelings into consideration, so he had been holding on.

Henrick really did put in a lot of effort for the people whom he cared for.

In her eyes, Henrick treated the people he loved with the utmost care.

When Henrick woke up again, it was already the evening. He felt well-rested.

The moment that he opened her eyes, he saw her mother's loving face. He blinked several times, wondering if it was a dream. Was it really his mother?

"What's wrong? Ricky, is there anything wrong?" Eden looked at her son nervously. After she arrived at the hospital, she learned about her son's condition from the doctor and fell into in a bad mood.

However, nothing was conclusive.

"Mom, I'm not dreaming. It's really you." Henrick's nose twitched and he felt a little uncomfortable. His mom came to see him because he was injured.

Eden smiled at him lovingly. Her slender hand touched his forehead, but there was no sign of heat.

"Silly child, did you wake up and become a fool?"

Hearing her mother's gentle voice, Henrick suddenly smiled. "Mom, I've missed you so much."

Eden was very happy after listening to his words. "Geez! Why don't you protect yourself well?"

Her heart ached for Henrick. When she heard that he was injured, she didn't have time to tell Victor about it nor clean up after herself. She immediately bought a plane ticket for Lemmon City and rushed over.

After the plane landed, she gave Victor a call to tell him about it.

Victor was so angry that he hung up the phone without saying anything.

"Mom, it was an emergency. It's a good thing that I'm still alive." Henrick smiled and tried not to tell her what had exactly happened last night.

"By the way, Mom, where is Allie?" Henrick couldn't see Alice, so he felt very disappointed.

Eden could see the true feelings in her son's eyes. It seemed that her worries were unnecessary.

"When I arrived, I noticed that Alice was very sleepy, so I asked her to go back to rest first. She will come over later."

"Oh!" Henrick suddenly smiled. "Mom, it's July now. If I successfully get Allie, we'll get married by the end of the year."

Eden smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even gotten her yet. It's too early to say that. You guys aren't in the place to talk about marriage. Although Alice is no longer hostile towards you, you can't be careless. If you really like someone, you must give her only the best and respect her opinions."

She and Victor had been married for so many years. Most of the time, it was Victor who had pampered her, spoiled her, and spoiled her. More importantly, they understood each other and respected each other. If they were too stubborn, they would have taken different paths.

However, she could tell that Ricky was as devoted as his father.

Henrick nodded and answered with a smile, "I understand what you're saying, mom. I'm also trying my best."

"By the way, how's Marlon?"

Speaking of her grandson, Eden smiled happily.

"Marlon is doing well. Due to his outstanding looks, the director immediately noticed him as soon as I brought him to the Alwynn Group for an interview. During the livestream nowadays, he's been very popular. When he gets home everyday, he always goes to his daddy for advice and guidance. Your father has been very patient with him as well, he's living a happy life."

Henrick believed that his son would become a better man than he was.

......

After five days in the hospital, Henrick returned home to recuperate. During those five days, Alice stayed in the hospital day and night to take care of him.

This made Henrick very happy. Although she was in the hospital, he did not feel any irritation or discomfort.

When he got home, he grew a little impatient. He had housekeepers, servants, and a mother to take care of him. Alice would only stay for a very short while everyday.

However, with his daughter often coming to accompany him, he felt a little better.

In the past few days, Alice had received a new project from the company, so she had been a little busy. The same went for Bert, so the responsibility of taking care of both the children and Henrick fell onto Aubri and Eden.

During the day, when Aubri and Eden went out for groceries, Henrick would watch some shows with his daughter.

Their private cinema had every movie that they could possibly want, and on top of that, the maids made popcorn for them. The father and daughter both had a lot of fun.

Henrick also acted the part of a loving father.

Ten days later, it was time for Henrick to go to the hospital for a checkup. Everyone was very nervous, especially Alice. On the way there, she was very tense, praying that Henrick's hand was fine.
