Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 703

Fredric had been transferred to the VIP hospital ward, and Trinity had been taking care of him these days.

His trip to Chaiseland this time felt extraordinary. He still felt like he was dreaming. It was just that the dream was wonderful. Each time he opened his eyes, he could see Trinity by his side.

"You don't have to push so hard," Fredric said softly. "There are doctors and nurses. It's too tiring for you to stay here every day."

"Why? You don't want me to keep you company?"

Trinity brought fresh strawberries that looked full and juicy. She held one in front of Fredric, but the latter only smiled without moving. Trinity paused. "You don't like this?"

"No." Fredric looked at her, reluctant to look away for even a second. "Have the sweet tip of the strawberry. I'll have the top!"

Trinity grinned with wet eyes.

"Trinity..." Fredric put a hand on the back of hers. "Do you still blame me?"

Trinity pressed her lips together and said nothing with a lowered head.

"Do you know why I came to Chaiseland?"

"I didn't know you came," Trinity answered honestly. "I heard later that... you were here for a few cases."

Fredric shook his head. "It's because you're here."

Trinity jolted.

"It was midnight when I got off the flight. I've been to Melorian before but only a few times. I'm not familiar with the city, and I didn't know that the cabs waiting outside the airports would pull scams... Unfortunately, I got into one.

"I only knew something was wrong when the driver took me to the slum."

"But you could just give them what they wanted!" Trinity replied anxiously. "They just wanted money. They wouldn't want to kill anyone! Couldn't you hand over your bag and ask them to return your phone and passport?"

Fredric smiled at her.

Yeah, how could a brilliant lawyer like him not have such adaptability?

Trinity pursed her lips and stuffed a strawberry in his mouth. "This could have been avoided! I really can't tell that you're a money-grubber!

"You're lucky Aurelia saved you and Neil found you in time. Otherwise, you'd have died in a foreign land!"

Fredric chuckled and held her hand to ask, "Would you be sad if I did die?"

Trinity's eyes widened. What the heck!?

"Hush!" She shushed him. "Why are you saying this for no reason? Nonsense!"

Fredric felt a surge of warmth gush in him and held her hand against his face.

"If there wasn't anything important in my bag, I wouldn't have risked it with those two," he said softly. "But there was something I wanted to protect with my life, so they couldn't take it." Trinity's heart thumped.

When the police caught the thieves and fetched Fredric's bags, she did not check the content since she was anxious about his whereabouts.

"What's so good in there?" She grimaced and looked at the bag hung on the rack. "Mr. Hamerton's sent it over. I'll go search it if you don't tell me!"
