The next time Hallie opened her eyes, it was because she'd been splashed awake by a bucket of cold water., She shrieked., Before she could react, someone had grabbed her hair.

"How dare you sleep with my man? B*tch, you should've found out who you were messing with!

", A woman with a fit figure raised her hand and slapped Hallie across the face!, She shot a glance at the men in black suits next to her. Four of them picked up the naked man next to Hallie and started beating him up.,

"Lacy, spare me! Spare me! It wasn't me. She was the one who forced me. I wasn't willing to. She was the one who seduced me! I told her that I'm yours, but she insisted and forced me..., Curling up into a ball, William crawled to Lacy's side and grabbed her legs. He looked weak as he pushed all the responsibilities to Hallie., Hallie was a little stunned after being slapped., She cried out in pain,

"Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you know that I'm the daughter of the Clements family? I will...

", Before she could finish her words, Lacy looked at the men beside her and one of them kicked Hallie in the face. Instantly, she felt dizzy and spat out blood., She moaned.

"Don't hit me, I'll give you all my money!

", After kicking the man away, Lacy snorted coldly.,

"I don't care who you are! I hate women who touch my men, especially those that think they can do anything because they're young. Someone teach this little b*tch a lesson. She doesn't deserve to have such a pretty little face when she's so shameless.

", Turning around, Lacy glanced at William coldly.,

"You're spending my money on another woman? You are quite the professional! Did you forget who brought you up? How dare you be so greedy? Without me, you would have been dead a few times! Shame on you! Strip this b*tch! Since you want to be with her, I'll grant you your wish!

",

"Take a few more pictures so that everyone can see what kind of a lady she is!

", As soon as Lacy gave the order, her bodyguard kicked William in the groin and he screamed in agony. At the same time, a second bodyguard ripped Hallie's clothes off and a third bodyguard threw countless punches at her face. When they were done, the two of them were thrown onto the couch mercilessly, and the camera flashed. After that, they went back to Lacy's side.,

"Lacy!

",

"If you want to come out to play, you have to abide by the rules. This time, I'll let you two go. If you fall into my hands again, I'll rip your skin off!

", After that aggressive statement, Lacy turned around and walked towards the door. At this time, there was a crowd of spectators gathered at the door, and the manager was hiding in the corner. Nobody dared to step up front., Lacy roared,

"What are you guys looking at?

", With that, everybody dispersed. Lacy strode off with her bodyguards in tow., It was another beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly., In the hospital ward, after a few days of rest, Alicia was in much better shape. However, she was so bored that she was getting restless. The moment she woke up, she started scrolling through her iPad. When Frederick walked in with her breakfast, he shot her a cold, dissatisfied glance when he saw that she wasn't resting. Almost at the same time, she quickly kept the iPad under her pillow and looked at him obediently., Frederick was worried that her wound would open up again, so he did not allow her to move around other than when she was brushing her teeth or using the toilet. He didn't let her out of the bed as he was worried that she would scratch her wound. He grabbed a wet towel and wiped her hands before passing her a sandwich.,

"Here you go, it's your favorite vegetable sandwich!

", Turning around, he got her a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of hot milk.,

"Hubby, I want to eat meat...

", She had to eat vegetables every day. Moreover, she could not eat her favorite seafood. She felt pitiful. But since she wasn't allowed to get out of bed, she had gained weight. She didn't even dare to look at herself!, The first thing she would do after being discharged from the hospital was to lose weight!, However, at this moment, she was craving meat so much that she was almost drooling at the thought!, Frederick picked up the bowl of oatmeal and blew on it to cool it down. Then, he fed her., Alicia pressed her lips together and put on a pitiful look. He was ignoring her again! She wanted meat, not oatmeal. She couldn't taste anything at all!, Seeing that she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, Frederick put down the oatmeal and rubbed her beautiful hair.,

"You're being reckless again! Eat up, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable! The doctor suggested this light diet. Endure for a few more days, then we will have good food after, okay?

", Two days ago, he'd given in and got, her some meat. He didn't know whether she'd stuffed herself, or whether she'd gotten indigestion because she couldn't move around. In the middle of the night, her., stomach had hurt so badly, she'd broken out in cold sweat. She'd only felt better after taking some medicine and having him hold her through the night. , Alicia pursed her lips even tighter. She was unhappy and made a fuss. Being in the hospital was already a chore, and he didn't even allow her to eat proper food. Though she tried her best to control her emotions, she stiff felt upset. , Seeing this, Frederick's heart ached again. He grabbed a meatball from the side and gave it to her,

"You can only have one. If you feel sick, remember to tell me!

", Seeing the grease exuding from the meatball, Alicia's eyes lit up. She finished it in one big bite. It was juicy and fragrant. In the past, she would have avoided it. However, she was enjoying it now., Seeing this, Frederick could only sigh helplessly. He handed her the milk and said,

"Slow down, be careful not to choke.

",

"Hubby, I'm fine now. Let's leave the hospital and go home! It's expensive staying here!

", In fact, besides getting the IV drips, she couldn't do anything else. Moreover, he had to stay here with her, not being able to get anything done.,

"Don't worry, let's wait for your wound to heal!

" Nothing was more important than her life!, Playing with her hair, his eyes were, filled with love. He would only let her, leave when she was alive and, kicking. The more rest she got, the, better she could recover. After all, it, was safer in the hospital than back, at home. , Alicia wanted to say something, but suddenly, a familiar ringtone rang. Frederick picked up the phone, glanced at it, and rejected the call. Alicia was surprised as he rarely rejected calls.

"That's early. Who was that?

", Could it be another woman?, This thought flashed through her mind, but she felt it was impossible. He'd been practically glued to her side these past few days.,

"It's not important! Here, have some more.

", The moment Frederick opened up the lunch box he'd brought, his phone rang again. This time, Alicia caught sight of the caller ID. It was Frederick's father. It was his father calling? Why didn't he want to answer the phone?, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
