Chapter 112
As soon as Alicia got permission to go out, she felt extremely excited.
"Alright! Hubby, don't work too hard. Remember to drink more water and take a rest. Also, take some time to look at some greenery and the blue sky! It is good for your eyes! I don't want to disturb you further. Goodbye!"
With that, Alicia took a few pictures of her showing a smooching face. Then, she ended the call.
On the other end of the line, Frederick heard the sound of shutters as he placed his phone down and a smile appeared on his face.
After putting down the phone, Alicia packed up swiftly to head to the hospital. She planned to go to her mom's house after that.
When she was about to go change her clothes, she suddenly thought of the movie. She was instantly dumbstruck.
"Fifty Snipes of Grey?"
She was about to faint! What did she say moments ago? No wonder Frederick sounded extremely strange earlier on! What was wrong with her eyes?
At this moment, she searched for the name which she mentioned to him... "Fifty Shades of Grey"?
Fortunately, there was a movie of the same title.
She let out a sigh of relief. At this time, her phone rang again as she received a text. Alicia then played the movie but her eyes were on her phone as she checked the text out.
"What? It's a useless advertisement again! It's so annoying!"
As soon as she deleted the message, she heard a strange sound all of a sudden. When Alicia looked up, an erotic scene suddenly came into sight. Her face turned as red as a tomato instantly, then she paused the video right away.
"What's this?"
She glanced at the title below and found that there was a bracket behind it. Her face turned boiling hot as she felt extremely embarrassed.
Erotic?
Wasn't it supposed to be a famous action movie?
She covered her face with both hands, and she understood right away why Frederick was teasing her back then.
"The movie is already so arousing from the start. How can I continue to watch the rest?"
"Who would watch this kind of movie with him?" she thought.
She felt extremely embarrassed. She turned twice on the spot and washed her face after that. Alicia then switched off the computer, continued packing, and headed out quickly.
After giving some fruits to the doctor and nurses who took care of her father, Alicia headed to her father's ward. All of a sudden, she got the news that her father was in the emergency room. She threw everything aside and rushed out while bawling her eyes out.
"Doctor Lewis, Doctor Lewis—"
Passing through the entrance, she accidentally bumped into a man dressed in a white coat. Alicia almost fell to the ground and she apologized.
'Tm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"Be careful!"
He reached out to help her up, but he inadvertently fixed his eyes on her. His eyes widened a little as he felt surprised. "It doesn't matter! Miss—"
Just as words were about to escape his mouth, Alicia got rid of him and continued running as fast as lightning while sobbing.
Standing rooted to the spot, the man, Marshall Clark, could feel that his heartbeat was increasing in speed. "What a stunner!"
It was his first time seeing a woman crying so heart-stirringly!
What happened to her?
He started to care about her subconsciously. He then turned around and headed in the direction where she went. But, it seemed that she had vanished into thin air.
Alicia rushed downstairs to look for Doctor Lewis, who was checking on patients. She wandered around and yet she couldn't find her father. She wasn't sure which emergency room her father was in either. Just when she was getting more anxious, she saw Doctor Lewis coming out of the elevator. She rushed over with a few big strides.
"Doctor Lewis, where is my father? How is he?"
"Miss Blanchard, please stop crying..."
Seeing that she was a little agitated, Doctor Lewis sent the two people behind him away, then diverted his attention to her.
"Your father is fine! Follow me to my office and let's talk about it there! Please stop crying. I am most afraid of crying women!"
He motioned her to walk into the room beside them. Then, Doctor Lewis poured her a glass of water and offered an explanation.
"When a nurse was checking on the patients, she noticed that your father's finger moved a little. Thus, we checked on him and gave him treatment just now. The result was not bad. Although your father hasn't opened his eyes yet, his consciousness has already recovered. His finger moved a little after I talked to him for about 10 minutes. We have arranged for a full- body examination on him. Besides, we just had a meeting and discussed his illness. Don't be too anxious as everything seems to be going well. Your father is now in the intensive care unit. You can't visit-"
"Really? My father is doing fine? He won't die, will he? Doctor Lewis?"
Alicia's whole body was still trembling while she choked on her words. Doctor Lewis shook his head and he felt pity for her.
"He is currently in good condition! It's a good sign too! Miss Blanchard, it's your persistence that gave the patient the strength. Although I can't guarantee that the patient will be cured fully, I am sure that he will be waking up soon! You can rest assured! We will try our best to help the patient!"
"Thank you, Doctor Lewis..."
Being greatly shaken, Alicia couldn't calm down for a long time. Finally, Doctor Lewis brought her to the ward and allowed her to see her father through the glass screen. She reminded the doctor to update her about everything. After paying some medical fees, she then left the hospital.
After arriving at her mother's house, Alicia shared the good news with her mother. She even told her mom not to worry about her father even if she couldn't pay a visit to him as he was staying in the
intensive care unit.
In fact, Alicia was afraid that her mother would be frightened like her. If something bad happened again, she was afraid that she could not hold on any longer.
Both of them chatted for a while. Then, Mrs. Blanchard cooked a bowl of porridge for her. After eating, they watched TV together.
Although they had been living a hard life in the past few years, the relationship between the two of them became better.
When it was almost time, Alicia got up and said goodbye to head back home.
When she entered the house, she noticed that Frederick was already home. He was sitting at the bar. She ran towards him and asked, "Hubby, have you eaten?" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
As she had cried hard in the afternoon, her eyes were puffy and her voice was still hoarse.
"What's wrong?"
Frederick pinched her chubby cheeks and joked playfully, "You really haven't grown up, have you? Did you cry again after going home?"
"No! I watched a movie... It was a touching story!" When she mentioned the movie, she couldn't help lowering her head as she blushed slightly.
He held her in between his legs and bit her ear gently. "Did you watch that kind of movie again? Did you learn anything from it?"
Alicia turned her head and glared at him fiercely. She bit her lower lip and couldn't help but punch him twice. "Hubby, I will not forgive you if you mock me again! Why don't I cook an omelet for you?"
"It's fine. I'm heading out later!"
It was already late, why would he still go out?
Alicia frowned in doubt. Before she could say anything, Frederick's phone rang. Then, he pushed her away and stood up.
"Rest early! Don't wait for me..."
With that, he walked to the door with his phone in his hand. Then, he turned around and left. However, Alicia's heart skipped a beat in that instant.
"That phone call... Wasn't it a woman's voice?"
