She didn't want to take it seriously too. In that case, maybe she wouldn't be so upset! In a daze, Alicia could still hear his explanation, but she didn't want to waste her energy on him. She rolled herself up beneath the quilt.
"Stop talking... I'm sleepy!" Only then did he remember that the doctor wanted her to rest more. He recalled adding smedicine in the soup, which helped her to sleep peacefully. He smiled faintly as he thought he had been overthinking, then adjusted the quilt for her.
That day, Frederick accompanied her in the hospital and watched her sleep until noon.
When Alicia opened her eyes, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. She had a good sleep and she felt so much better. Noticing a cake and a packet of milk placed on the table, she picked it up and ate it as she was starving.
After that, she got up and stretched. Sure enough, she was refreshed only in good condition! She recalled him mentioning she had fainted because she was "tired". Since she had rested for a whole day, she wanted to get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. After all, it cost a lot for her to stay in the hospital.
As she was drinking the milk, she walked out of the room.
After asking the doctor and knowing that there was no need to go through any discharge formalities, Alicia signed the papers and was ready to pack her things up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the way back to her room, noticing that she had almost finished the milk, she wanted to find a trash can to discard it. As soon as she approached a trash can, she heard a familiar chuckle out of nowhere.
"Yes..." Frederick? Who was he talking to? How could he be so happy? It was not until she craned her nack that she realized that he was on the phone.
"Alright, I am really busy today! Alright, Hannah..." As he spoke her name, it pierced through Alicia's eardrum. She subconsciously exerted her strength. Suddenly, a low and muffled crushing sound could be heard. Looking down, she noticed that the milk cartor in her hand was squished. At the stime, Frederick heard the sound and turned his head. Their eyes met, and both of them were surprised.
"Frederick? What noise is that? Are you... feeling unwell?" Vaguely, a sweet female voice was heard. When Alicia cback to her senses, she threw the empty carton in her hand into the trash can and sneered. Then, as if she didn't see nor heard anything, she turned around and walked towards the ward.
With a shiver, Frederick quickly spoke, "I'm busy, I'll hang up first!" After the call, Frederick rushed back to the ward with just a few strides. When he entered the ward, he saw that Alicia had changed her clothes and was packing her bag. "Ally, are you feeling better?" "Yes." As soon as Frederick approached her, Alicia leaned sideways to avoid him. For the first time, she had a strong feeling of detest against him.
"Do you want to eat out tonight?" Frederick subconsciously reached out his hand. In fact, he only wanted to remove the strand of hair off her neck, but she obviously steered clear of him.
"I'm not hungry! I want to go back now!" Like an injured little animal, she wanted to hide in her mother's embrace. In fact, she wanted to go back to her mother's house at this moment. But, she still can't get herself out of this mess after all! Frederick obviously felt that she was giving him a cold shoulder. When he saw that the bread on the table had been moved, he grabbed her shoulder.
"Are you angry with me?" She sneered, shook her head and spoke, "I'm done being mad!" Perhaps because her life had been really tough, Alicia felt like an indestructible warrior this instant. No matter how deep the injury was or how painful it was, she could still stand back up quickly.
If he didn't deserve it, she wouldn't waste her feelings on him like a clown anymore.
Seeing her thin face, as if she only had a pair of big eyes left on her face, he stroked her delicate face and touched it.
"I went out to make a business call, not to chat with her! She just wanted to have a meal with me, but I didn't agree with it. We did not even talk for more than two minutes! Let's go out for dinner tonight and I'll make it up to you, okay?" Frederick sighed slightly and uttered.
She didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. But, what he said indeed made Alicia feel a little happy.
While she despised him secretly, she rubbed her nose without rejecting his offer.
In fact, no matter what, she could not deny that his love was like a poison coat with sugar. Even so, it was still enchanting.
Holding her hand, Frederick took her to a high-end hotel.
Every the held Alicia's hand with their fingers interlocked, Alicia would have an inexplicable feeling of happiness. She didn't know if she had been single for too long, but whenever she was held by him, her heart would race.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the past, many rich and powerful men had been pursuing her with all kinds of gifts. They tried their best to please her but she had never been moved. At present, she would feel delighted just because he held her hand and she had a meal with him. Everything was way different from before! "Welcome, Master Clements..." When she was still deep in her thoughts, she heard a chorus of voices. She suddenly snapped back to reality. "Is it still private room No. 7?" "Yes." Frederick nodded and Alicia felt that all the waitresses seemed to be looking at her with a strange look. She glanced at the man beside her and her heart missed a beat.
Did he bring a lot of women here before? Wasn't he famous for not being close to any woman? Why did she feel that the rumors were all lies? Walking in, Alicia felt a little displeased.
At the door, Frederick noticed it too. "What's wrong?"
At this time, the door of the private room was opened. A pleasant jasmine scent could be smelledm throughout the room. The stylish layout was decorated with roses, which was very romantic. There was an obvious space in the middle for dancing! Subconsciously, Alicia pouted her lips. Sure enough, it was as expected! 'Tm not hungry. I don't want to eat anymore!" There was a displeased tone in her voice. Simultaneously, the waiter couldn't help glancing at her again, making Alicia feel even more uncomfortable. She turned around but Frederick grabbed her waist suddenly.
"It's my first tbringing a woman here. Can't you show ssupport?" Alicia's eyes froze as she was a little surprised. "First time?"
Frederick pinched her cheek and turned her around. He pushed her into the room slowly and slowly and said this private idom is excellent. It's transparent on all sides. Let's light incense and sit down. It can help relieve fatigue and stress!" He turned around and spoke, "No. 3!" He pushed Alicia to sit on the sofa, then he took a cushion and stuffed it behind her. After a while, the waiter brought in a classic green porcelain burner with a Roman character "III" engraved on it.
At this time, she roughly understood that the "No. 3" he was talking about was the type of aromatherapy.
At this time, Frederick explained, "Jasmine can calm and treat your digestive system. It helps to reduce to reduce stress too. It's very good for you! Why don't you take a look if there's anything you want to eat?" The soft music was playing while Alicia flipped through the menu. It seemed that her impetuous mood had calmed down. Right then, Hallie walked past the door outside the room. She halted and turned back. Coincidentally, the waiter opened the door as he was going in.
"Room No. 7? Isn't room No. 7 not opened to the public?" "It's him?" X
