Chet returned quickly to the ward after his phone call. He found Frederick and Danica sitting on the bed, facing each other, while Danica was cutting an apple. They seemed to be chatting. Chet was stunned fo, a moment but soon came to his senses.,

"Miss Randolph, you' re awake so soon? Frederick...

", Chet was contemplating if he should leave the ward., What if Alicia returned while Danica was still there?, Under normal circumstances, he would have avoided a situation like that. However, when he looked at Frederick, he was a little hesitant. He was confused., Didn't Frederick already make his stance on Danica clear? What's the situation then? Should he remind Frederick?, Frederick was relieved when Chet appeared. He said immediately,

"Oh, that's right. There's a meeting scheduled for today, right?

", Hearing that, Danica stood up and said,

"Then, you two can catch up. I'll go back to my room. I'll see, you later.

", Chet shut the door quickly after Danica left. He had just made his way to the bed, when there was a knock on the door.,

"Sir, your breakfast!

", Chet turned and asked,

"Who asked you to send this to me?

", Although the nurse at the door looked familiar, Chet was still a little wary.,

"Are you Mr. Reynes? It's a lady I met in the corridor who asked me to send this over. She said it was for you and Mr. Clements! She mentioned her name was Miss Blanchard. She was such a beauty. She said you asked her to...

",

"Where is she?

",

"Miss Blanchard said she has got work to do, so she left.

", Taking the breakfast, Chet passed it to Frederick with an inkling of what was going on,

"Frederick, Miss Blanchard knows.

",

"Alicia? What does she know? She's here?

", Frederick was far from the door plus the nurse earlier spoke rather softly, so he wasn't able to hear clearly. His heart raced and he craned his head to look at the door. He was wondering why Alicia hadn't come herself., With a sigh, Chet began to explain the whole situation the night before. He also explained what happened the night before and that morning.,

"You mean... she was there when you entered the warehouse last night?

", Chet closed his eyes and nodded.,

"Did I really see her here last night? Was she the one taking care of me in the hospital last night?

" That meant he wasn't hallucinating or dreaming. She was really there holding his hand. After a long sigh, Chet nodded again.,

"This time, Frederick, you aren't going to clear your name so easily. When we rushed in... you and Miss Randolph... Let's just say we really couldn't pull you both apart.

", Chet knew that it was because Frederick's body was frozen stiff. However, when he thought about the scene the night before, he had no words for it, let alone Alicia., In addition to what happened earlier on...,

"Miss Blanchard didn't look well yesterday! She was silent! She may have also seen what happened just now. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought breakfast to the door but did not come in!

" Frederick's expression changed. He threw away the blanket and said,

"I'll go find her!

",

"Frederick, calm down! You haven't fully recovered yet. You need a full medical check-up before you leave the hospital. There is also Miss Randolph...

", With that said, he gestured towards the door. She was still there. How could he go if that matter hadn't settled?,

"What do you think happened between us? I was only afraid that she would freeze to death! The kidnapper got the wrong person. How could I be at ease if anything happened to her?

", As he spoke, Frederick was agitated. Alicia had misunderstood his intentions. Right then, even Chet was looking at him reproachfully. Then, what about Alicia?, But at that time, he had done what he did out of urgency. How could he have bothered with these other details?,

"It's all my fault, Frederick!

",

"Don't blame yourself. I know your capabilities. Moreover, I believe in you! I wouldn't be here without you. You've got dark circles under your eyes. I am declaring you a holiday for today. Go and get some rest.' Although he was very annoyed, Frederick could see that Chet's clothes were wrinkled. Chet probably hadn't had a good rest the night before., Frederick rubbed his forehead. He needed to think, about how to deal with the matter.,

"It's okay, I can still hold on! Frederick, don't you think it's strange?

", Frederick looked up. Chet shook his head in a daze.,

"How do I put it? It's just a feeling I have. I looked for anything that was out of place, but I didn't find any kidnappers or weapons. There was no call for ransom either. It was just the two of you locked in a cold storage warehouse. It felt dramatic, as if it was all just for show.

" , It just felt like something was wrong!,

"We will circle back to this later.

", After thinking for a while, Frederick told Chet about what he had experienced the night before.,

"Let's notify the lawyer and the, trading house to keep an eye on the stocks1 movements. I didn't take a closer look yesterday, but I saw that it was for a power of attorney. We can't let this go unchecked. We need to get right down to the bottom of this. It is best to use it as a warning to others too. Next, although the criminal won't make the same play twice, send someone to secretly protect Alicia just in case. Also, get me discharged immediately but discreetly. As for Danica, she is fine now, the rest has nothing to do with us. Inform her family to come and get her. , When that is done, please relate to her my intention.

",

"I see. I'll make arrangements now. You should eat first...

", After the check-up, Frederick left the hospital in a rush. Instead of going to work, he went straight to JT Translation Service. After he parked his car, he made a call to Alicia.,

"Ally, I need to tell you something. I'll wait for you downstairs at your office.

", Alicia was sitting in the back room at Lovely Scent. She was feeling sluggish when she answered the call,

"Can we make it another day? I'm a little tired today, so I asked for a leave. I'm not at work.

"

"Ally, are you angry with me because of what happened yesterday? I did what was necessary to save a life. I wasn't doing that for any other reason. I would have done the same for anyone else. I...

"

"That's enough! I don't want to hear your explanation! Let's separate for now, Frederick. Let's give each other space for a few months.

", Without waiting for his reply, Alicia hung up the call., She curled up and hugged her knees while staring blankly at the prayer altar. For the first time, she was doubting their relationship.
