Alicia was really not used to hearing his wretched voice. Her heart began to soften.

She turned around and glared at him, but said nothing.

Right at that moment, there was a sound of the stomach rumbling. Then, Frederick clasped her waist. "I'm hungry. Eat with me."

As he spoke, there was another rumbling. Alicia bit her lower lip angrily and said, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You ruined the eggs and groceries. How am I supposed to make anything for you to eat?"

"Then, let's go out to eat. You left after dropping off breakfast this morning. Then, you spoke to me in that tone. How could I have any appetite to eat at all?"

Frederick's stomach felt uncomfortable from not eating and he suddenly felt a little dizzy. As he closed his eyes, he let go of her and braced his hand on the wall.

"Stop pretending! I'm not going to fall for that."

Pouting, Alicia remembered how he had pushed her away once and it lit a fire inside her.

She turned around and opened the door quickly. However, she was very surprised when he didn't follow her. She spied on him out of the corner of her eye and saw him pressing his hand on his stomach while grimacing with pain. It didn't look like he was faking it.

She threw down the things in her hands and ran back, "Hey, Frederick, are you okay?"

He pursed his lips and shook his head. However, he was sweating profusely.

Alicia reached out to prop him up. "Don't scare me! What's wrong with you?"

"I'm hungry and my stomach hurts."

This horrible man! He was really making her life difficult.

Alicia supported him and dragged him into the house. She put him on the sofa, then made him a cup of warm oat before she searched for the medicine for his gastric pain.

After wiping away the sweat on his forehead, she gently massaged his forehead and said, "How are you feeling now? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Frederick closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He squeezed Alicia's hand, then got up to hug her and said, "It's all right. Just let me hold you for a while."
