"Ally..." Reaching out to hug her, Frederick's eyes were filled with distress. In fact, he had been caught completely off guard from what had happened that night. Until this instant, his mind was still half-confused! "Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Get out! Get out!" "Don't do this, listen to me, okay?" "No! I won't!" After pushing and hitting him, Alicia cried and yelled, covering her ears. She was also overwhelmed by a feeling of extrdejection. Frederick was also very helpless. He would either be interrupted by her or his words would be covered by her noises. In the end, he couldn't do anything else but sigh. Meanwhile, Alicia struggled and had lost her strength. She laid motionless in his arms.
For God knows how long, the two remained in that position. When Frederick cback to his senses, Alicia had already fallen asleep.
As he wiped away her tears, he noticed that she was huffing in her dreams. He smiled at her and dropped a kiss on her forehead. When he thought of the strange occurrences recently, he paused. How could she have been continuously mistaken for Danica? It was possible that one or two people mistook her for Danica but it was impossible for so many people to do it continuously. From what he remembered, she had even been mistaken by two people in one day. How could she have met every single one of Danica's friends? Even if it was true, she only resembled Danica slightly. How could she be called 'Danica' more than once? Qiana was probably Danica's closest friend. Obviously, she had never met Alicia. Who else would be so close to Danica to even go up to Alicia? In his memory, Danica had always been a quiet girl. In her spare time, she read books and painted by herself. Her friends were all pretentious. She used to complain about them, saying that they should be separated because of their different interests. Those socialites compared themselves based on brands. Those friendships were more snobbish than it was sincere. Except for gatherings and cocktail parties, there was no such genuine friendship whereby they kept in touch with each other on normal days.
If she really had so many close friends, how could no one have known where she went for six years? Did Alicia perm her hair because of this as well? Suddenly, Frederick sensed that there was something strange going on but he didn't know what it was. He even saw Alicia frowning in her sleep. Even though she had fallen asleep, her hands were still pushing him away instinctively. She must've been heartbroken.

As he was afraid that he would wake her up, he didn't even dare to get into bed. In the end, he stayed on the sofa. Even though he was tired, he was still restless.
Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, hence he was not in a hurry to get up early. Before closing his eyes, he still reminded himself not to sleep too soundly. When she woke up, he wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, his wife would be gone! The next day, Frederick was awakened by a muffled sound of thumping. He bounced up and saw Alicia kneeling on the bed, lifting the blanket. He rushed over. "What happened?" As soon his hand touched her arm, Alicia hit him and said, "Go away! Don't worry about it!" Alicia was still dizzy and she felt that her head was heavy. Yet, she subconsciously wanted to get up. When her hand touched the bed, she drew back. She supported herself from the ground and wanted to get up. In an instant, Frederick understood what she was resisting. She didn't want to sleep on the bed, and she didn't touch the table or chair. Just how disgusted was she by this place? Stepping forward, Frederick gave her a strong hug. Then, he threw her back on the bed, pulling the quilt over her.
After being thrown by him, Alicia grew even dizzier. She kicked at him angrily, yelling uncontrollably to be let down. "Go away! Stay away from me! Don't touchHolding her legs, Frederick pressed down against her and hugged her.
"Have you had enough? No one has ever touched this bed except you! No woman has ever lived in this room except you!" Alicia finally paused. Frederick then added, "Maids don't count!" When he saw that she was finally willing to look at him, even though she was still frowning, he continued speaking.
"I told you that I have never touched Danica. I haven't before and it's even more impossible at present! Thus, what you said about holding you and fantasizing about her is all bizarre!" She didn't seem to believe it yet as she was still looking at him dubiously. Frederick fell speechless and he looked at the ceiling helplessly before asking.
"You loved Jeremy so much. Why didn't you give yourself to him?" Without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "It's not only women who fantasize about the perfect love and marriage!" That meant that it was the sfor men. He had once held the sidea as well.
Alicia naturally understood his words but at this instant, his words had zero credibility to her.
"Women are different from men!" This society was obviously more tolerant of men! If she went out to fool around with a man despite being married, Frederick would have dumped her aside! Eventually, she spoke calmly and Frederick was also slightly relieved.
"Nevertheless, love and happiness are the same! They are inseparable despite the difference between men and women, rich and poor, right? You were also with Marshall last night. Are you guys also " Before Frederick's sentence was finished, Alicia exploded in anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We met by chance and formed a team temporarily. Are you trying to corrupt my honesty and clarify the relationship between you and Danica? Is that even the same?" She had only known Marshall for a short while! As soon as she shouted, she felt that her head was about to explode. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Now that she knew that no one had ever slept on this bed, she no longer fought.
"Go away! I won't argue with you, you... a*shole, you unreasonable..." As her voice slowly becsofter, she closed her eyes.
"Ally, what's wrong?"
As soon as Frederick grabbed her shoulders, he saw her whole body weaken. As he hugged her he m realized that her entire body was burning hot! He then let her lay down and gave her sfever medicine. He then placed a cold towel on her forehead. She had a fever and she must have gotten it the night before! He had been too careless and forgot to give her smedicine as a preventive measure! No wonder she fell onto the ground when she was about to leave the bed.
Feeling a little worried, Frederick asked Carson to cover.
"How is she? Why does she keep humming, is there something wrong?"
"High fever. She must be in a daze and did it subconsciously. It's probably because of her long-term stress and her low immunity. She Ε must've been over agitated and fell over because she couldn't take it anymore. Women should cry to vent out their feelings, she would feel better that way."
After setting an IV drip for her, Carson packed away the medicine box. He looked at her and said, "It's probably because of what had happened last night! Frederick, did you... really treat her as Danica's replacement?"
