Chapter 735 Did You Bully Her?
Chapter 735 Did You Bully Her?
To Grace’s surprise, the female doctor looked shocked after examining the report. She turned to Grace and said, “Your friend’s condition is not simply a fever. She has mild alcohol intoxication, and there are traces of drugs and a small amount of atropine in her blood. These are components of date rape drugs. It seems she has been excessively drinking and drugged!”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Grace was also frightened. She remembered the look of Evelyn last night. She spoke weakly and acted very slowly. It turned out that she had been drugged!
She was angry and anxious, fearing that something would happen to Evelyn. She asked the doctor, “What should we do now? How do we treat her? Will her life be in danger?”
“Her life won’t be in danger, but you’re a little late. Let’s wait until her fever has subsided and see what’s going on before we come to a conclusion,” The doctor was very neutral. She knew that the patient must have encountered something bad, so she comforted her, “Don’t worry. Let’s wait for her to wake up.”
With a mind filled with chaos, Grace returned to the bedside. The more she thought about it, the angrier and more anxious she became. The image of Evelyn being mistreated made her heart race.
Just then, the phone, which she had put in her pocket, rang again.
However, this time it wasn’t a call from Bert, but from another person, a man whom she was all too familiar with.
Huston?
Grace hesitated for a moment, considering whether to disclose Evelyn’s illness to the person on the phone. However, she ultimately decided against it. It would be better to wait until Evelyn regained consciousness before sharing the details.
However, to Grace’s surprise, as soon as the call connected, she heard a hoarse voice asking, “Did you stay at Grace’s place last night?”
Last night.
The word reached Grace’s ears very sensitively.
How did he know that Evelyn was at her place last night?
When Evelyn arrived at Grace’s home last night, it was already past midnight. At that time, the only person who could have known about it was one possibility-the person on the other end of the phone call, who was with Evelyn last night.
The thought made Grace furrow her brow. If that was the case, how could Evelyn have been drugged?
Could it be…
A dreadful thought flashed through Grace’s mind, and her expression became stern. When she spoke again, her tone was confrontational, “Huston, were you with Evelyn last night?”
At that moment, Huston was sitting up in bed, holding his phone, preparing to put on his slippers. He was taken aback by Grace’s unexpected question.
How could it be her?
Huston thought to himself, “Although they had a good relationship, it wasn’t to the extent that Evelyn would ask her to come and pick up the phone.”
Or was it because of what happened last night that she didn’t even want to answer the phone from him?
Thinking about this, Huston’s face darkened slightly, “Let Evelyn answer the phone.”
To Grace’s ears, these words implied the acknowledgment of what happened between them last night. She stood up abruptly from her chair, lowering her voice as she spoke, “Answer the phone? Evelyn is lying in the hospital bed with a high fever, delirious. Should she answer the phone in that state? Huston, you’d better not have mistreated Evelyn!”
Upon hearing her angry outburst, the line suddenly fell silent.
Only her heavy breathing filled with anger could be heard, while on the other end, it seemed like Huston had gone mute. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Just as she thought he might have hung up out of guilt, a low and urgent voice came through the phone, “Which hospital are you at?”
