Chapter 63
Immediately, Alicia turned her head and saw Frederick. "Hubby!"
With a shout, she instantly turned sideways, but her arm was held tighter.
Jeremy's eyes widened. He was shocked and wondered what their relationship was.
Undoubtedly, the word "Hubby" was a sore point in his heart. It was like a nightmare!
Frederick stepped forward and glared at Jeremy with hostile eyes. His gaze then fell on Jeremy's hand that was holding Alicia.
"I asked you to let her go!" Frederick repeated.
Jeremy subconsciously tightened his grip even though he didn't say anything.
The next second, Frederick grabbed Jeremy's shirt and threw a punch at him. Jeremy staggered a few steps back and hit a small stall behind him. The items from the stall fell to the ground with a loud noise. It could be seen that Frederick's strength was too great.
"Hubby! Forget it, forget it..." Alicia hurriedly said.
She didn't expect he would make a big deal out of it. She quickly hugged him and said, "Let's go home! Don't argue with such a person!"
"Hey, you can't leave! What's wrong with you? How can you smash my things and leave?" the stall owner said.
"Who will pay for it?" he asked again.
"Both of you are fighting over a woman. You can't let me pay the price, can you?" The stall owner was a little angry.
When the stall owner approached them, some onlookers had also gathered around. Alicia's face was hot and she felt extremely embarrassed. At this time, Jeremy also stood up straight. Both he and Frederick took out a stack of money and threw it at the stall owner.
"It's enough, isn't it?" Jeremy said.
"Get lost!" Frederick roared.
Both of them were in a bad mood. After taking the money, the stall owner went back to pack his stuff dejectedly.
If a stare could kill, both of them would be dead by now. With Alicia in his arms, Frederick glanced at Jeremy with a warning.
"She's my woman! Don't touch her in the future!"
"Really? Are you sure that's true or is that what you think?" Jeremy laughed.
With a sneer, Jeremy raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he was implying something. A bad feeling arose in Alicia's heart.
Before Alicia could react, Jeremy said, "Did you know that we were passionately in love and lived together for three years!"
With her mind going blank, Alicia couldn't believe her ears at all and instantly became furious. "Jeremy Pitcher, what nonsense are you talking about?"
When she turned around, Alicia's face turned red from anger. "I didn't!"
Unexpectedly, he was just like Lindsay, spreading rumors about her. She was so furious that she swung her hands and stomped her feet. Alicia was so angry that she was on the verge of crying. "You shameless b*stard! Take back your words! I've never lived with you!" Alicia yelled.
She didn't foresee that after three years, he would slander her like this.
At this moment, Alicia felt that she was going crazy.
Frederick held her slender waist and appeared to be calmer than she is. He even hugged Alicia tightly and didn't let her hit Jeremy. "Alicia..."
It was just a gentle call, but it was like a comforting panacea, which instantly made Alicia calm down.
Turning his head in Jeremy's direction, Frederick chuckled.
"It's no wonder that after three years, you still can't keep her! Are you really a man? Don't you feel ashamed for saying that?" Frederick said. The implication was that Jeremy was impotent!
Regardless of that, Alicia was a woman who once had feelings for him. He should not say words like this. At this moment, Frederick really felt sorry for Alicia. After gently stroking her hair, he continued.
"I really want to thank you for leaving such an untainted and beautiful woman to me! It's rare to see such a pure and gorgeous woman in this society!"
His calm voice was low and attractive. Every word of his was sharp and touching!
He believed her!
Alicia's vision was instantly blurred. Although she did not know the real reason why he trusted her so much, it did not affect her overwhelming emotions at this instant!
Of course, Jeremy didn't expect that Frederick's family had a special gene. Therefore, Frederick didn't even need to ask or investigate Alicia. He was sure that she was very clean!
His eyes were the best proof! That day, if it weren't for the burning pain in his eyes, he wouldn't have been able to wake up so quickly. No matter how unexpected the interaction between them was, her purity and his burning pain made him know that it was not a bad ending.
"Don't disturb her anymore! Next time, I won't be so polite!" Frederick said.
At this moment, Jeremy suddenly realized what he had said. He was anxious and stretched out his hand.
"Alicia..." Jeremy called.
Without thinking, Alicia punched and kicked Jeremy in the groin. "Don't touch me again! B*stard! F*ck off!"
Alicia's vision suddenly went black as she lost her temper, and she fell to the ground.
"Alicia!" Frederick shouted.
At the same time, Frederick caught her and held her in his arms. Jeremy also stretched out his hands. Frederick glared at him and turned around before striding away while carrying Alicia. Carson and another doctor examined Alicia in the hospital.
"How's she doing? Is she all right?" Frederick asked.
After whispering to the doctor, Carson motioned Frederick to go outside for a talk. They went to the doctor's office.
"What's going on? Is it serious?" Frederick asked again.
Seeing that she suddenly fainted and was still unconscious, Frederick was very anxious.
"She fainted because she was too hungry!" Carson said.
"Wha... What?" Frederick was dumbfounded.
In disbelief, Frederick raised his voice by a few decibels. However, Carson nodded his head solemnly. It was not like he was joking.
Did she faint due to hunger? But, they had just eaten! Although she ate very little, what was going on?
In an instant, he found it hard to understand the situation. He was even more confused. Could it be... that Alicia wanted to lose some weight?
"Her face is yellowish and she has dark circles around her eyes. Her body is swollen and her sugar level is low. Her stomach shows signs of being sensitive. These are all obvious symptoms of excessive weight loss! According to what you said, she might have been too emotional. Her body couldn't bear it anymore, thus, she fainted! I've injected her with some glucose and medicine for sleeping so that she can have a good rest for a night. When she wakes up, let her rest for a few more days and slowly start her back on a normal diet!11 Carson said.
After that, Carson looked at him with a teasing smile again.
"Hey, Frederick, you have to take it easy. Don't be too harsh on her. You have to feed her when you want her to work. Isn't it better for a woman to have some fat on her? Moreover, she is not plump at all!" Frederick got up and rolled his eyes at him. "I really want to sew your d*mn mouth! Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
"If she becomes sick, I'll tear your hospital down!" Frederick threatened.
As soon as he finished speaking, Frederick went out of the door. Carson was anxious. He got up and raked his fingers through his hair, saying, "Frederick!"
D*mn it, why was Frederick in such a rush? He hadn't even gotten to the main point yet!
