Chapter 297
In a daze, Madeline felt her hands randomly grasp something cold.
She was confused. It was too cold
The ride was smooth. Madeline opened her eyes
and saw the car window before slipping back into darkness.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Madeline couldn't tell how much time had passed. It seemed like a long time.
She was extremely uncomfortable and couldn't make sense of anything
In a cozy room, Madeline was lying on the big bed, surrounded by two women.
Harriet sighed and asked. "Karen, she seems to be having an allergic reaction. What should we do? Her cheeks are flushed. Do you think she's really having an allergy attack? Allergies can be fatal. Maybe we should take her to the hospital for emergency treatment." Karen chuckled, and her tender eyes alluringly narrowed. Her charming face carried a hint of mischief
Her voice, sultry and enticing, lingered in the air. "Harriet, are you scared? Mr. Massey wants her, so she won't die."
Karen reached out and gently touched the pale face of Madeline. Her gaze was tender and filled with nostalgia, conveying a mix of unfathomable
emotions
Her eyes had a mature allure.
Karen smiled slightly and asked, "Harriet, do you think she looks like me?"
Harriet shook her head as she lay at the bedside and said, "Not really. She has that cool, elegant beauty, and she's young and pretty. But Karen. you're an attractive, mature woman-a true beauty. In terms of features, she may be more beautiful. However, when : comes to demeanor, I believe very few men could resist you"
Harriet was really straightforward.
Karen held a towel and wiped Madeline's hand, saying, "How could she get drugged? So careless. She shouldn't have made such a rookie mistake. It's such a
"Why
Harriet asked, puzzled
"It's a pity that she's so naturally graceful yet seems to blend in with the ordinary," Karen said, her beautiful eyes filled with regret and nostalgia. "My job was to onerve her on campus, but no matter how hard I tried, she came across as just an average student, both inside and out. If I hadn't known her before, I would've thought she was a completely different person now." Harrier couldn't understand Karen's meaning, so she just tuned it out completely.
Karen, the doctor is here. Shall we step outside first?" said Harrier.
Karen's eyes flickered when she saw the young man and the doctor in a white coat at the door. She respectfully stood up and moved aside.
As Karen reached the door, she looked closely at the young man's pale face. "Mr. Massey, you don't seem to be doing well lately."
The young man just ignored Karen, treating her as if she weren't there.
Karen, however, was used to it. She smiled slightly and gently closed the door behind her.
Madeline found it hard to breathe. Her chest felt like a heavy weight was pressing down, and her throat was unbearably itchy.
Madeline looked slender and beautiful, her skin smooth and tender, but the unnatural blush on her skin signaled that something was seriously
The red spots, like dark stains, were d
were definitely not a good indication.
Madeline's mouth was slightly open, and she struggled to breathe. She had an unusually high fever,
The doctor, thoroughly covered in protective gear, gave Madeline an injection and then lifted her eyelids, asking, "1
"How are you feeling?"
Madeline experienced a fleeting moment of awareness, unsure of her words as she murmured, "There are so many caterpillars.. Crawling everywhere. I feel itchy and painful. It's so uncomfortable."
After saying so, Madeline slipped back into unconsciousness.
Before she passed out, she heard the young man chuckle softly.
Madeline hadn't seen the young man at all and found it confusing that someone could laugh in a situation like this. She thought, How could there be such a heartless person!"
The doctor s
set up an IV drip for Madeline while noticing that her phone was buzzing repeatedly with calls from Nolan.
The doctor said, "Mr. Massey, it seems she was drugged by someone. I believe it was one of those dangerous drugs from the martial world, intended to ruin Ms. Larson's face. If it had worked, she'd be dealing with some serious skin issues, like, totally scarring her. And there's no way to fix that kind of damage.
The young man had a menacing presence, easily overlooked as if blending with the shadows, yet his piercing deep blue eyes were truly frightening
His stare made people feel as if they were standing on an endless prairie, completely exposed and targeted by a carnivorous wolf.
Those eyes were extremely rational, seeing through any deception. His gaze, like the sharpest light cutting through, saw through all lies.
The young man sneered and said. "Interesting
He fiddled with a silver ring on his finger, his wrist decorated with a cold, metallic bracelet studded with blue diamonds
His eye color was unusual, with blue tints shimmering in the black irises. This dark blue was less noticeable during the day but particularly striking
in the dark.
"Mr. Massey, what should we do now?" asked the doctor.
The young man asked. "Can you assure she il get better?"
The doctor admitted frankly, "No, this drug is very powerful and destructive. I can only relieve the symptoms for a while. It will take at least a month to completely remove the poison after I make the right antidote. If that miracle healer were here, he would certainly resolve it, but it would make a week. He's a miracle healer, and also a master of poisons"
The young man raised his hand and softly touched Madeline's check. His eyes resembled those of a sorrowful puppy, contrasting sharply with the heavy aura surrounding him that clashed with his gentle appearance.
He just said. "A month, make sure she's cured."
The doctor nodded in agreement and only sighed with relief once the young man had left.
This 1 young man wasn't always so calm. His mental state was very

When he lost control he stopped listening to anyone.
In his eyes everyone, even familiar faces, t

He was bloodthirsty, insane, and dangerous,
Once the young man left the doctor finally stood straight with relief.
Only Harriet came in. looking worried, and asked. "Is she go
going to be okay? She won't die, right?"
s pretty irritating. Stop pretending to be so innocent,
The doctor replied. "You ve seen a lot of dead people, yet you ask such a naive question. It's alright!"
Harriet was always treated by this doctor whenever she got injured on missions, and he knew exactly what kind of person she was
Harriet stuck out her tongue and said. "She's the one our boss wants, so of course I need to care about her. If she's gone. I'd probably be done for too. You think I'm pretending to be kind! I'm just worried about myself: The doctor nodded and thought it made a lot of sense.
He replied. "Don't worry. It's no big deal. She was just drugged. I promise, within a month, she will be fine. But it's really strange. Why did Mr. Massey suddenly have you all focus on this girl? rarely get to see B
