Chapter 168 It's Really Him!
Frederick frowned, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Ms. Beniere fainted!"
Frederick's face darkened. "What happened?"
"I don't know, she suddenly fainted. She was quite emotional before she passed out. I haven't figured out the details yet."
"Contact Elijah to take her to the hospital. I'll be there right away!" Frederick said.
Before leaving, Frederick stood outside Dennis's door and instructed, "Dennis, Daddy has to go out for a bit. You play with Isabella's sons for now. If you get tired, you can all sleep together."
"Got it."
The kids didn't know about Isabella fainting. They thought Frederick was going out to apologize to Isabella and didn't think much of it, nor were they worried.
They believed that since Frederick had promised, he would definitely be able to make Isabella happy again.
Frederick thought the same.
However, none of them expected that when Isabella woke up in the hospital and saw Frederick, she didn't give him a chance to apologize and slapped him hard across the face!
Frederick was stunned on the spot!
Elliot and Elijah's eyes widened in astonishment, almost popping out of their sockets!
As the saying went, one should not strike a person on the face, for it held a different significance compared to striking other parts of the body. If one could not strike an ordinary person's face, then certainly Frederick's face was even more untouchable!
Elliot had been with Frederick for over twenty years and had never seen anyone else touch Frederick's face except Isabella!
Elijah likewise couldn't fathom such an action; the mere thought of witnessing someone striking Frederick's face had never even crossed his mind!
The two of them were trembling, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. They didn't dare to breathe and quickly left the room, leaving the slapped Frederick and Isabella slapping.
The atmosphere in the room was eerie.
Before Frederick could get angry, Isabella started crying, heartbroken and aggrieved!
Frederick tightly pressed his lips together, glaring at her, furious!
This was the third time Isabella had slapped him!
Each time hurt more than the last!
In her eyes, his face was worth nothing, to be slapped whenever she wanted!
He thought Isabella slapped him because he wouldn't let her see Dennis, so he held back his anger, saying, "I warn you, this is the last time. If you dare again..."
Before Frederick could finish, Isabella suddenly lunged at him!
She grabbed his collar with both hands and yanked hard, trying to tear off all the buttons!
She wasn't hitting him; she was roughly and openly trying to strip him!
It looked like she wanted to strip him naked!
Frederick was shocked and quickly grabbed her wrists, coldly questioning, "What are you doing?!"
"Strip!"
Frederick was stunned, strip?
"What do you want to do?"
"Strip immediately! Strip completely!"
Frederick was even more shocked, stripped completely?
His Adam's apple bobbed, inquiring, "Isabella! What exactly do you want?"
"Take off your clothes!"
"Why take off my clothes?"
Isabella didn't explain, stomping her foot in frustration and yelling at him, "Hurry up and strip!"
Frederick's Adam's apple bobbed again. "Explain first, why take off my clothes?"
Isabella didn't say anything, instead, she bit down on his arm!
She bit hard!
Frederick hissed in pain and shook her off as he shouted, "Are you crazy?"
Isabella really seemed crazy. As soon as she was free, she lunged at Frederick again, trying to strip him.
Frederick was completely bewildered. He tried to restrain her, but his mind suddenly went blank!
Before he could react, his body fell towards Isabella.
They both fell to the ground.
Frederick passed out, and Isabella put away the silver needle, pushing him off.
She didn't waste a second, roughly unbuttoning his suit and shirt, pulling them off to reveal his shoulder.
Seeing the deep bite mark on his shoulder, Isabella's breath caught.
She held her breath until she almost suffocated, then exhaled sharply, her face full of terror as she backed away.
It really was him!
Isabella trembled, shaking as she backed away.
Although she had always suspected it was him, suspicion was just suspicion. It couldn't compare to the shock, fear, and anger of confirmation!
The past was unbearable to recall, and her thoughts overwhelmed her like a tidal wave, drowning her!
She forgot how to breathe, as if she were drowning, retreating step by step to the corner, squatting down, and looking at Frederick in terror!
Fear, anxiety, anger, rage, grievance, resentment... all the negative emotions converged, pressing down on her like a mountain, making it hard to breathe.
When she reached a breaking point, she lost control and screamed.
Elliot and Elijah, who had been standing at the door, rushed in when they heard the commotion.
Then they saw the scene.
Frederick was lying on the ground with his clothes disheveled, and Isabella was in the corner, holding her head and screaming.
"Ms. Beniere!"
"Eric!"
As soon as they spoke, Isabella suddenly got up and ran towards the door, but she fainted again after just a few steps.
Elliot and Elijah were stunned.
...
More than half an hour later, Frederick woke up.
Elliot was by the bedside and quickly asked, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
Frederick instinctively touched the back of his head, feeling a sharp pain like a needle prick.
Elliot explained, "You were likely rendered unconscious by Ms. Beniere with a silver needle. When we rushed into the room, you were already unconscious. Ms. Beniere was in the corner, screaming like she was scared. When she saw us, she tried to run but fainted as soon as she got up."
Frederick sat up and noticed his clothes were open, frowning.
Elliot explained again, "It was like this when we came in. We don't know if you took them off yourself or if Ms. Beniere did."
Before Frederick could speak, Elliot hesitantly asked, "Eric, did you try to do something to Ms. Beniere today?
Your clothes were disheveled, and Ms. Beniere was so terrified. She was still screaming even after she fainted, telling someone to get out and begging for mercy, crying 'no,' clearly scared, like she was being assaulted."
That "someone" referred to Frederick!
He suspected Frederick tried to assault Isabella. In a fit of agitation, Isabella resisted and, in the struggle, used a silver needle to render Frederick unconscious.
Frederick pressed his lips tightly, speechless and angry, glaring at Elliot, asking, "Did you leave your brain at home today?"
"It's not that I'm overthinking, but Ms. Beniere's state... She kept saying 'no,' begging you to stop."
No?
The scene from the airport lounge six years ago suddenly flashed in his mind!
Frederick seemed to realize something, his brow furrowing as he turned and pulled off his shirt, revealing his shoulder.
Seeing the deep bite mark on his shoulder, Frederick's expression changed rapidly!
He seemed to realize something, urgently asking Elliot, "Where's Isabella?"
