Chapter 113
When the engine started, Alicia felt as if there was a stone weighing down on her heart. She ended up heading upstairs with a disarray mind.
After taking a shower, she felt uneasy and couldn't do anything that night. In the end, she held her knees and curled into a ball. Then, she stared at the clock and noticed that she hadn't done anything until 11 o'clock.
"Alas, what's wrong with me?"
She scratched her hair irritably and then turned off the light. After tossing and turning in bed for a long period of time, she forced herself to shut her eyes.
The next day, a ray of warm sunshine shone into the room early in the morning.
When she opened her eyes, she was laying on a warm chest. She felt overwhelmingly happy as if she had just won a grand prize. In an instant, Alicia's whole world seemed to be bright and brilliant.
As soon as Frederick's eyelids moved a little, a soft body pressed against his body. Then, a warmth came over his cheeks and lips.
"Hubby, morning—"
"Morning!"
Frederick stretched his body and tightened his arm. He habitually rubbed her small earlobe as his response.
Staying in his embrace, the two of them quietly enjoyed the intimacy in the serene morning.
When Frederick opened his eyes, he noticed that Alicia seemed to be in a particularly high spirit. She blinked with her big round eyes a few times while staring at him.
"Why are you so excited?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and felt her body next to his. He was in a good mood too.
She propped up her arm and rested on his muscular body. With her chin pressing against his firm chest, she spoke to him sweetly.
"I have fully recovered. Hubby, look at me, I'm feeling amazing! Can I go to work today?"
Taking a glance at her, Frederick raised his hand to pinch her rosy cheeks. "You are planning to earn more money, aren't you? No wonder you are being so sweet early in the morning."
In this woman's eyes, money was everything!
"If I don't work, I will feel bored. If I work hard, then I won't need to trouble you anymore. Although I don't earn much, you won't have to work so hard if we both have an income! Hubby, I've been resting for about half a month and it's really boring to stay at home! I've fully recovered now!"
When she thought about her visit to the hospital the day before, Alicia instantly felt more stressed.
She just hoped that her father could wake up. At this critical moment, his treatment must not be interrupted. She estimated that it would cost a lot of money for the rest of the treatment.
Therefore, she had to work hard.
Her father had given her an extravagant life for more than 20 years. At present, there was nothing more important than her father's life! Besides, her mother could rely on him when her father recovered.
It was all her fault that her parents had to leave their hometown and suffer in their later years. Thinking of this, she felt that she had no right to rest at all.
She promised with coquetry, "Hubby, I will take good care of myself. Please let me go to work, okay?"
Although he really disliked her greedy look, he had to admit that every word she said could always make him feel good. She seemed to be gifted in being coquettish as she really knew how to please him!
It was a great skill to know how to sweet talk. Obviously, she had done a great job!
Most of the time, Frederick felt that it was a sin to reject her!
"If you keep moving around, then I won't allow you to go to work!" he scolded her. Wasn't she aware of the current situation? How dare she rub against him at such a time?
"Hubby, can I regard it as you have agreed?"
She screamed excitedly and got up while smiling from ear to ear. Alicia blew him two kisses without touching him.
"Hubby, you are the best! I'm going to wash up now!"
Frederick lifted the corners of his lips slightly and went back to bed. Since he got together with her, his sleep had improved greatly.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that Alicia had not come out yet, thus he felt a little worried. He put on his nightgown and went straight into the bathroom. When he pushed the door open, he saw that she was facing the mirror, staring at the wounds on her abdomen. Her face was scrunched up.
As soon as she looked up and noticed his presence, she turned sideways and covered herself up with her bathrobe. "Get out! Stop staring! Don’t look..."
"It's really ugly!" she thought.
Although it wasn't major surgery, every wound was almost one centimeter long. It was not very obvious, but it looked angry and eye-catching, especially on her fair skin.
In the past, she cared about her body a lot. She would get the black moles on her body lasered off and she would even visit the beauty salon from time to time. But, for the past three years, she stopped caring about her own body and she even used the cheapest cleanser.
Fortunately, her skin was not too bad. Unexpectedly, there were three more scars on her abdomen, which made her somewhat sad. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Frederick hugged her from behind and lowered his head to place a kiss on the side of her neck gently. "I have seen every part of your body."
"It's so ugly and scary to look at! Don’t look at this part of me in the future!"
Alicia pulled the robe a little tighter and resisted a little. She didn't realize that she was afraid he would dislike her.
"You are mine. How can you be ugly? Even your hair is more beautiful than others!"
Frederick obviously softened his voice while hugging her.
"The wound is healing. It'll look fine soon! Didn't I give you the ointment? As long as you apply it according to the instructions, your wound will not only recover swiftly, but it will not leave any scars too! Thus, don't even bother to worry about these! You must remember that your health is the most important thing! Do not eat unhealthy food and avoid doing intense exercises. Do you understand?"
He walked in front of her and touched the tip of her nose. Frederick warned, "If you dare to do anything that will stretch your wound, I will tie you to the hospital bed. Do you hear me?"
"Okay, I'll keep it in mind!"
Alicia's voice was a little hoarse as she felt that she was being cared for deeply.
"This weekend, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Carson will give you two more injections. I promise that you will be able to recover within two months! However, you can't force yourself to work too hard!"
"Okay! I will listen to my hubby..."
Afterwards, they had breakfast together and went to work respectively.
On this day, Alicia was in a good mood. After entering the company, she went to cancel her leave from work.
When she walked into the office, a few of her colleagues gathered together to gossip.
"Miss Blanchard is back! I miss you so much! Here is a bottle of warm milk! It's new!"
"When you weren't around, the office's atmosphere was dull and no one sent snacks. Also, the number of people who called in and dropped by got lesser too!"
"Alicia, I've watered your flowers and cleaned your table every day!"
"Thank you!"
Looking at her kind colleagues, Alicia chuckled! At this time, out of nowhere, a female voice could be heard.
"Why are you back so soon? I heard that you lost a child. Shouldn't you rest a little longer?"
