Chapter 584
Could it be that the doctor was just a quack even though he looked like a professional?
Deep down, Alicia rejoiced!
Before they saw the doctor off, the manager had a long talk with the doctor to ensure that everything was fine with Sebastian's condition. It was a deep relief for him after assuring Sebastian's welfare.
He drove off slowly, and after taking a turn at the red light of the junction, Doctor Henwick made a call.
"Mr. Clements, I did as you ordered! Mr. Forbes's throat is inflamed and swollen, and his vocal cord is obviously damaged. However, it isn't severe! However, the lozenges are normal, there's really nothing wrong with them!"
"Okay, I know! Good job!"
As soon as he hung up, Frederick immediately chortled as he gazed at his phone wallpaper that was a woman who was winking and thought, "Luckily I put a mole in!"
With the concert just around the corner in addition to the viral scandal between Frederick and her, Alicia chose not to return to Robson Garden. Instead, she stayed in Nicholas's old apartment.
On that day, Alicia's phone rang as soon as she got back into her room.
She reluctantly answered the phone call, "Hey, what is it?" Wasn't he told to reflect on his actions? So why was he bothering her now?!
Although Alicia was complaining, her eyes still narrowed like a crescent moon. She obviously was yearning for Frederick!
"I've longed to hear your voice! Sweetheart, are you still mad at me?" He merely lost control at that moment. Honestly, she couldn't understand his frustrations!
"Hmph! I've lost all my dignity because of you! I'm officially known as Mr. Clements's shameless vixen. What's more, I'm also recognized as a two- time b*tch! No, a three-time nuisance! Hubby, I'm so aggrieved!"
One was her husband, and the other was her brother, while the third man was her sworn enemy! She was vilified more than every other criminal in the world!
However, the thought of her unexpected success in causing a misunderstanding between Sebastian and Kianna earlier today made her feel proud. Hence, before Frederick was able to say anything,
Alicia blurted out her side of the story.
"It was a close call today! Fortunately, I was quick to react. Hubby, don't you think I'm sharp?"
At this moment, there was only one crucial thought that appeared in Frederick's mind. His initial cheerful and relaxed voice suddenly became serious and displeased.
"You were hit?"
"Huh? Just one slap. It doesn't hurt at all! Besides, I let her hit me on purpose! If I didn't do it, then our conflict wouldn't have been intensified. On the bright side, Sebastian slapped her for me too! Hubby, you seriously don't have to worry about a single thing, I'm fine! It was worth it anyway..."
Listening to Alicia's voice trying to comfort and joke with him, Fredrick felt upset, "Hmph!"
After a long conversation, they finally ended the call.
Alicia changed her clothes and headed downstairs. When she was about to ask Nicholas if he was coming back for dinner, the doorbell suddenly rang.
No one else ever came to this apartment before!
At that moment, Alicia was still quite puzzled. As she looked through the surveillance camera at the door, she was completely taken aback. "Frederick? Why is he here? Didn't he just said he's in the company?" She thought.
In a moment of stupor, her subordinates had already unlocked the electronic door lock. As soon as she unlocked the inner door, Frederick was already standing at her doorsteps.
"Hubby?"
What on Earth was Frederick thinking? Wasn't the news about them bad enough already? Yet here he was at the doorsteps of Nicholas's old apartment.
Alicia blinked in disbelief. After all, they had just spoken on the phone not too long ago!
Frederick extended his hand and softly caressed one side of her cheek, "You silly girl! Does it still hurt?"
Shaking her head, Alicia instantly threw herself into Frederick's arms and hugged him, her eyes also squinted into a smile.
He brought her over to the sofa and took out a box of ointment for reducing swelling. Frederick gently rubbed it at the barely noticeable spot. "Carson said that it's very effective. You won't feel any pain immediately after three seconds!"
"You came here... just to deliver this medicine to me?" Alicia was touched, she certainly wasn't expecting Frederick to come all the way for such a small issue.
No wonder he hadn't spoken much after she mentioned the slap. Alicia assumed he had gone to buy the ointment before he came over! Alicia looked at Frederick as she clasped her arms around his waist.
Frederick embraced her and calmly stroked her back while he said in a soft tone, "I've missed you too! I don't feel at ease not being able to see you!" In fact, Frederick was never at ease when Alicia wasn't by his side!
However, he was well aware of Alicia's eagerness for revenge, so he didn't want to cause too much trouble for her. After all, her plan would succeed soon! Besides, he was still rather assured knowing that she was at Nicholas's!
"Then let's have dinner before you leave! I'll call Nicholas and tell him to handle it outside!" It was as if she had stolen something!
As she hugged him, a joyful smile emerged from the corner of Alicia's lips!
"All right!"
Shortly, Alicia had cooked up a few dishes. As per usual, she had done a neat combination of vegetables and meat. On the other hand, Fredrick's eyes were fixed on Alicia the entire time.
They occasionally exchanged a few words, and whenever their eyes met, they felt a deep sense of warmth.
It was a pleasant and satisfying
meal for them despite they were at a
different location. As usual, Alicia efficiently washed the dishes after dinner while Frederick tenderly wiped her hands with a towel. He then wrapped his hand around her slightly cold fingers to keep her warm.
Although what they did was the most habitual and the most common, their eager hearts burned passionately.
Back in the living room, Alicia nestled in Frederick's chest while they watched the TV for a while. Even though merely looked at each other quietly, they felt that life was wonderful.
It wasn't until ten that Frederick planted a kiss on her forehead. "I have to leave now, don't forget to lock the door!"Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay, drive safe and take care of yourself!" Alicia reluctantly tidied up Frederick's clothes.
Frederick nuzzled her nose as he hooked his arms around her waist and said, "I thought you would ask me to stay..."
"I would love that but... it isn't a suitable time and place right now. Hubby, just bear with it for now!" Alicia wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a goodnight kiss.
"Once the concert is over, I'll definitely cling to you until you're annoyed with me! Hehe..."
"I forward to that!" Frederick pinched her cheeks and said softly, "I'll be at the concert to support you on Saturday and I'll send you back home afterward too!"
"All right!"
They bid each other goodbye as Alicia walked Frederick out of the door.
Saturday arrived in the blink of an
eye. In the afternoon, everyone had arrived early to prepare for the concert. They went through their parts as well as cross-checking the details with each other. In the open
space outside the lounge, Alicia twirled a few rounds in her dancing shoes and her newly made dress. Just as Alicia was pondering the condition of Sebastian's throat, she suddenly a series of footsteps. She turned around and saw Sebastian's assistant rush out to usher Doctor Henwick in. Right then, the doctor wasn't wearing his white coat like he did last time and the medical kit in his hand was also covered with a cloth.
