The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

At this point, a nurse who cby to administer the medicine walked past. She was surprised at what Penny said.

"Are you talking about the injured young lady in the ICU? She's not pregnant. It's just sexternal injuries. She will soon be discharged from the hospital!" Since the hospital briefed the nurses about the gunshot wounds, the nurse answered the questions about the situation as told.

"Not pregnant?" Penny let out a shriek. She was so shocked that she had lost her composure. If Alicia wasn't pregnant, hadn't she done something unnecessary? Soon, she realized something and forced a smile, "I probably made a mistake, then. It's good that everything's fine! I can breathe easy..." While muttering to herself, she almost broke her nails in her attempt to hide her emotions.

Over the past few days, she'd been restless. She couldn't get any answers, but she didn't dare to speak out. She really couldn't eat and sleep well! If she had known that Alicia wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't have cat all! Wasn't she doing something unnecessary and extra? All of a sudden, she realized that what she had done recently was like shooting herself in the foot! She had been unlucky lately.

Why did Alicia have such reactions when she wasn't pregnant? She was really lucky to have survived this incident.

This misunderstanding had tortured her so much! All her years of patience and hard work were almost ruined by this misunderstanding.

Penny was so angry that she was about to explode. She let out a smile, turned around, and walked away in large strides.

As she walked out of the aisle on the other side, Frederick's eyes darkened.

After two days of rest, Alicia was much more energetic than before. She was afraid that her mother would be worried, so when she woke up, the first thing she did was to call her. Without her asking, Flora told her about Martin's situation.

Frederick had already sent someone to help them pack their luggage and also sent them a lot of daily necessities and money. Flora was obviously satisfied. During the phone call, she kept praising him. Alicia was also in a good mood.

"Mom, I know, I will be good to him! You're makingwonder whether or not I'm really your daughter, you know!" She was always praising him! Alicia couldn't help acting spoiled. However, she felt like the luckiest woman on earth! "Mom, I'll talk to you another time! I'll go back to see you after I'm done with my work! Take good care of yourself. Callif you need anything! When you live close by, I'll go back to see you every day!" Even after hanging up, Alicia still felt reluctant to put down the phone. Every tshe saw her parents, she felt that she was still a child and was particularly relaxed. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, her parents had aged! Taking her cell phone, Frederick put it aside.

"In a few days, when you recover, I'll bring Mom here to see you! I'm afraid that she'll be worried, and I'm also worried that you'll get too excited! First, take care of yourself! Are you hungry?" "Yes!" Alicia nodded and suddenly said, "I want to eat tarts!" She had been eating tasteless food for the past few days. She felt that her taste buds were blocked. She wanted to eat something sweet! "Okay, I'll get someone to buy it for you right now!" Frederick took out his phone and Alicia told him about the exact shop that she wanted the tarts from. Soon, the food delivery arrived.

Fearing that she might stretch her injury, the doctor hung her arm up to prevent her from moving around. Frederick opened the bag and put a piece of tart into her hand.

She took a bite and suddenly remembered something.

"Hubby, did you offend someone? Perhaps at work? Why did someone want your life? I think the gunman that day was a professional killer! Did you call the police? Did they catch the killer? You'd better not go out so much recently. Don't stay in a place alone for a long teither!" If that person wasn't a professional, how could they ensure that they were able to execute everything smoothly? Driving and shooting at the stime? That wasn't an easy thing to do. And if they didn't know that there was a banquet that night, how would they have appeared there? Over the past few days, she'd spent every waking moment pondering about this matter. She felt afraid everytshe thought about it.

Frederick noticed her fear and anxiety.

Afraid of scaring her, Frederick said, "I've already called the police! I'm a legitimate businessman, and I won't push people off the edge. We've locked in on a suspect. He has acriminal record and a vendetta against rich people. Knowing that he was doomed, he decided to take action. We were just unlucky. Don't worry, it won't be a problem!" "You scaredto death! I thought someone wanted you dead. It would have been stressful if you were being targeted! Hubby, I don't want anything bad to happen to you!" Without him, what would she do in the future? Wouldn't she be eaten by the Clements? When she thought of it, Alicia couldn't help but shudder again. She took a bite of the tart and lowered her head with melancholy.

He caressed her hair and gently hugged her.

"Silly girl! I won't abandon you, nor will I leave you! In the future, I will protect you well, and will never let you face any hardships on your own! From now on, no matter who bullies you, you can fight back! When you are outnumbered, you can compromise but you must learn to ask for help! If you can't find me, you can find Chet!"

This time, he was really careless! He thought that she could just drop the gift off and that would be it. He m thought that his family members O Would just ridicule her at most. After all, it was a banquet with many outsiders. He thought that they wouldn't think of doing anything excessive. Unexpectedly, such a serious incident happened! "Okay. By the way, did that video get out? The matter about the hotel happened a long tago, how did

someone dig it out again? And those videos and photos, I swear that wasn't me! I've only been in a relationship with Jeremy, and there hasn't been any other man! I've never done you any wrong, whether it was O before or now, Hubby, went to the NOV club to dance part tjust to get money, not to pick up srich guy. I never showed up early, and I always left right after my shift was over. No matter how provocatively I dressed up, I wouldn't have done anything like that! I hate vixens, why would I do that to another woman? Moreover, why would I pick sold man? I'm vain and I love to dress up, but that's just what I like and it's something that makesfeel good! It's not because I want to break up someone's family. Don't suspectbecause of this..."

When she thought of these things, Alicia felt depressed. In the past three years, she had indeed done a lot of part twork which involved dancing in heavy makeup and wearing revealing clothes. Howe she needed the money. Even if she would be misunderstood, even if she had the chance to choose now, she would have done the sthing! However, she felt wronged being misunderstood that way! Moreover, she had no way to explain the edited photos!
