Chapter 65
Alicia's grievance and sorrow instantly flashed through his mind. He could feel that she was not deliberately not eating or unwilling to eat, but she could not eat. He clearly felt that she was helpless!
It was necessary for her to take birth control pills when she was with him.
However, they had been together for a long time. Why would she react to it only recently and so in such a serious state?
Was it something that she had not taken before, or recently thought of?
Or was it a long- term accumulation that only reacted now?
"Hey, what are you thinking? Did you listen to me?" Carson asked.
When he returned to his senses, Frederick's thoughts were interrupted for a moment and he couldn't keep up with the rest of the conversation. "What?"
Carson rolled his eyes and sighed deeply. He picked the main point and said, "I said, if she takes too many birth control pills, it will lead to menopause!"
His words were in vain again!
"According to your understanding, would the pills give her such a big reaction after the first consumption, or was it an accumulated reaction to the pill? How often does one usually take a pill?"
Frederick asked.
"There would definitely be a big reaction after taking it for the first time. The body will adapt to it slowly in the future, and taking one pill per month is enough. Generally, there will be bleeding from
day 6six to twelve after taking the medicine! There are countless other reactions, such as stomach pain, headache, swelling all over the body, and chest pain. All of these are normal..."
While explaining, Carson suddenly realized something. "What did you think of? Is there any problem?"
With a light tap of his finger, Frederick's eyes fell on the coffee stains on the collar of Carson's white shirt. An idea came to his mind.
Was there anyone who didn't want her to be pregnant?
No!
To be more precise, someone was afraid that she would be pregnant!
It was aimed at him!
Frederick narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Frederick?" Carson called.
"It's time for you to change your clothes!" Frederick answered.
Taking a glance at him in disgust, Frederick said, "After you've changed your clothes, go to the ward! It's time for you to put your talkative character into use! I want her to eat!"
He then turned around and walked out of the door.
Behind him, Carson pulled his clothes and looked at them for a long time. He didn't see anything unusual, thus, he turned to take a look in the mirror.
"Oh, my, he was paying attention to such a small stain. He's crazy."
Back in the ward, Alicia had stopped crying, but she was curled up on the bed with her arms around her knees. She was shivering and looked very pitiful.
Picking up the food, Frederick brought it next door to microwave it. When he came out of the room, Carson was on his way in with the medical staff.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Frederick touched Alicia's head in comfort.
"The reason why your body has gained so much weight has been found. Carson will give you an IV drip later, and you will soon be back to normal. Therefore, you don't have to starve yourself. You can continue to be a foodie as before!" Frederick said.
"Huh?" Alicia looked up in disbelief and turned to look at the doctor in a white gown in confusion.
"Ms. Alicia, your body's swelling is a reaction to birth control pills! As long as you don't take any more of the pills, you will soon recover! Of course, the premise is that you have to eat a normal diet, drink more water, and eat more fresh vegetables to ensure your nutrition is balanced and sufficient. Don't stop yourself from eating carbs. If you don't eat, it will only reduce your metabolism rate and tire you out," Carson explained.
As he explained, Carson added a record on the drug list.
"Well, you should eat first. I'll give you an IV drip after the meal, mainly to help you clean out the drug in your body. I promise it will definitely be ten times better than starving yourself! In addition, your body has a strong reaction to the drug. I suggest that you eat less or try not to eat any birth control pills at all," Carson added.
Birth control pills?
The reason she suddenly got fat was not that she had eaten too much, but because of the pills?
Alicia was in a trance for a long time. This was reasonable, but she couldn't recall eating such pills.
When she inadvertently caught Carson and Frederick exchanging looks, she was nervous again and pursed her lips immediately. "You are lying to me, aren't you? You asked him to lie to me so that I would eat, didn't you?"
"How could I lie to you? This is your blood test report —” Frederick said.
Feeling sorry for her current state, Frederick waved his hand, and the nurse quickly handed Alicia the result. "See for yourself!"
"Believe me, don't torture yourself like this! Didn't you say that you've maintained your body well before? As long as you continue to eat like before, your body will still be the same as before! If you starve yourself, your body will protest!" Frederick said.
As she flipped through the report, Alicia was still a little unsure. Although she had taken a blood test, she felt that since the doctors were all Frederick's friends, they could fake a report.
After all, she had worked hard for many days. She mustn't be fat!
Frederick saw through her worries and held her hand.
"Well, you can eat first and try it for a week. If it doesn't work, I will never speak again if you don't eat in the future. Is that all right?" Frederick asked.
He coaxed her, but Frederick's gloomy eyes stared at Carson as if he would get even with him if he couldn't get his wife back to normal.
With a bitter look on his face, Carson could only go forward and speak to Alicia.
"Don't worry! Miss Blanchard, I am a professional doctor. I swear by my medical ethics that I won't lie to you! You women often lose weight to keep your body in shape, thus, you must understand these common points! Your weight increment is caused by pills. Starving yourself will not work. You must stop eating the pill! I have made an exception to hang this IV drip for you. It's very expensive. If you don't want to, you can wait for natural recovery. You just have to wait longer!"
Carson looked at her earnestly. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He changed his tone and added, "But, there is one thing. You have to eat a normal diet and sleep well. You can eat healthier and exercise. Otherwise, once the metabolism of the body is reduced, you won't slim down even if you don't eat. If this goes on for a long time, you could end up having anorexia. A skeleton-like body figure is not what you want, is it?" Finally, Alicia nodded and responded, "All right then!" "I'll give you an IV drip an hour later!"
Later, when the medical staff left, Frederick served the food. He wanted to feed her, but this time, Alicia took it directly and drank the soup.
Frederick smiled, but he didn't notice her drooping eyes which hid her sadness.
He had worn condoms for protection, and yet he still gave her birth control pills.
Was that for double protection?
He didn't want her to be pregnant with his child!
After calming down, the sudden cognition brought Alicia into a bad mood.
Although she didn't want to get pregnant before, she minded it very much at this moment!
She thought of their first time, the slap, the false diagnosis, and their flash marriage...
