Chapter 64
Carson dashed to the door in a swift movement, but he suddenly stopped as his hand rested on the doorknob. He wondered, "Does Frederick care about this woman? It seems inappropriate to mention another woman at this time!"
Scratching his head, Carson felt inexplicably agitated. "This is frustrating!" Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Should I say it or not?" he wondered.
He was not sure about Frederick's true feelings. After a moment's hesitation, he retreated his steps. "Forget it. I'll talk about Danica's matter another day!"
That night, Alicia stayed in the hospital. Frederick also stayed there to accompany her for the night.
When Alicia opened her eyes in the morning, there was a sense of unfamiliarity before her eyes.
Only when she sat up did she notice that there were traces of adhesive tape on the back of her hand. She looked around and noticed that she was still wearing the clothes from last night. She thought of something and breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a hospital!
No wonder she was suddenly full of strength and felt much more energetic.
As she stretched her body, the door opened. Frederick came in with his cell phone in his hand.
She raised her hand, and greeted him with great vitality. "Hubby-¹'
"You are finally awake."
Sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her bright eyes and rosy cheeks, Frederick asked, "Are you feeling ill?"
Shaking her head, Alicia smiled and squinted her eyes. "It's okay! I'm fine now! I was too angry yesterday!"
Her face fell, and she couldn't hide her hurt emotions. She really didn't expect Jeremy to be so shameless! If it were another man who had a bad temper, she might be beaten to death now!
If she really did something wrong or did something bad, she would feel that she had deserved it. But being criticized like this was really annoying. However, she felt lucky at the same time. She stuck to her guns no matter how much she loved him at that time and didn't do anything out of line.
This was all thanks to her parents. They used to love her so much and also protected her. But it was also because of her that her father was still lying in the hospital.
Hanging her head, Alicia felt lonely!
Frederick didn't know what she was sad about. He lifted her chin and said, "Don't show such an expression again! How can my woman be sad for another man?"
His light voice rose, and he was obviously unhappy.
"I'm not thinking of him. I'm just sad for myself..." She felt wronged and sad!
Her long eyelashes fluttered and her cheeks bulged slightly. She looked innocent and stubborn, which made her look more adorable.
"Stay away from him in the future. I don’t like it when you have anything to do with him!" Frederick said.
"Yes!" She also began to hate him!
Sometimes, people's feelings can get really strange. Alicia had been obsessed with Jeremy for quite some time in the past. But now, she suddenly was able to let him go.
At this time, the door of the room opened. A servant came in with a food container. "Master Frederick!"
Frederick took out some porridge, but Alicia shook her head violently before he could hand it over.
"I'm not hungry!" Alicia said.
"Not hungry?" Frederick looked at her in confusion.
Seeing that she was retreating away from him, Frederick frowned and asked, "Then, why are you here?"
She was so hungry that she had passed out. How dare she say such nonsense to him!
After scooping a spoonful, Frederick sent it directly to her mouth this time. "Open your mouth!"
"I'm really not hungry!"
Seeing that he moved the spoon closer to her, Alicia turned her head while pursing her lips. She made an excuse. "I don't want to eat this. I don't have an appetite! I want to drink milk!"
Frederick suddenly remembered that whenever they ate, it seemed that she would always hold a box of milk and it would be a meal to her.
Could it be that she was relying on that to satisfy her hunger?
Thinking about it again, she got up very early in the morning and refused to eat with him several times. She started coming home late. Could it be that she was exercising...to lose weight?
With that on his mind, Frederick got a little angry. "Can milk replace a proper meal? Do you want to starve yourself to death? Open your mouth! Don't make a fool of yourself!"
He took another spoonful of porridge and said in a softer tone, "I don't think you are fat. I like it when you are like this. Be obedient!"
He emphasized the last two words on purpose. Apart from coaxing her, he also revealed his emotions.
Alicia naturally understood. It was not that she didn't want to eat, but she really couldn't. Being forced by Frederick, she had nowhere to hide. In an instant, she cried hysterically and kept shaking her head.
"I can't be fat, I really can't... I can't eat now. Don't force me anymore. I'll have to buy new clothes and shoes, and my work will be affected. What should I do?"
"Do you know that I have gained almost 20 pounds in half a month? I have never gained so much weight before. I started becoming like this when I was with you for a few days. I have tried my best to lose weight for a week now and I have only lost a few pounds. Don't force me to eat or my previous efforts would be all wasted! I can't gain any more weight. Or else, I'll be doomed."
Alicia was in a really desperate situation.
Seeing her crying and trembling, Frederick was shocked. How could she react so strongly just by gaining a few pounds? Why would it affect her work?
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still felt distressed seeing her shedding tears. He hugged her and said, "Okay, okay, I won't force you! Don't cry anymore, okay?"
Carson was on his way to the room in a hurry while pondering about something. Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene when he entered the room, which immediately disturbed his thoughts.
"Ahem!" Carson cleared his throat.
"I'm here to take some blood samples so that I can have a detailed analysis of Miss Blanchard!"
Listening to her wailing, he felt that there was something wrong with her swelling. Wasn't the swelling caused by the rapid loss of weight and hormonal imbalance?
Suddenly, he forgot what he was actually going to talk about and arranged for the blood sampling.
Later on, Frederick was asked to go into Carson's office again. "What did you say?"
"She's allergic to birth control pills," Carson said.
"This is the test report for her blood sample. The chemicals of birth control pills are detected in it, which is the main reason for her to grow and become much heavier in a short period of time. She may have overconsumed it or be allergic to it. That's why she has gained so much weight!" Carson explained.
No wonder he felt that something was wrong when he heard her words! It was abnormal that her weight had increased drastically!
"Let her eat normally! As long as she drinks more water and doesn't continue to take that medicine, her body will soon recover.
Looking at the test result in his hand, Frederick was very puzzled.
How could it be possible? They used condoms every time, thus, she had no reason to do this! The pills had side effects and were bad to the body. She cherished her body figure so much, it was impossible that she didn't know it!
"Could it be... that she didn't eat it willingly?" Frederick wondered.
