Chapter 81 - 81: Exhausted
After entering the presidential suite on the top floor, Evans gently placed the unconscious Audrey on the bed and stood up to size her up for a while.
He did not expect her to experience such a thing tonight. If he had not happened to pass by…
It was unknown if it was because of the drugged alcohol, but Audrey’s sleeping expression was extremely painful.
Evans sighed and turned around to call the family doctor. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Abner.
Evans stood by the bed and confirmed that Audrey was already sound asleep before leaving the room.
When Abner received the news, he was sitting in the car heading home.
Seeing that Evans had sent him a message, Abner thought that there was something business to discuss. He did not expect to see a shocking piece of news.
Did something happen to Audrey?
Abner immediately got the driver to turn the car around and go to the hotel that Evans had mentioned.
Due to the filming, Anthea had bought a room near the production team for Audrey. Originally, when he heard that Audrey wouldn’t be coming home for the next few days, Abner didn’t pay much attention to it. He felt that she would be back in a few days.
Unexpectedly… someone actually dared to blatantly pour wine on her?
Evans was not very clear about this matter either. He only said that the investors of the production team were up to no good. A hint of viciousness could not help but flash across Abner’s eyes.
Were these guys tired of living?
When he reached the top floor of the hotel, Abner was surprised to find Eric here.
Eric was still panting. He looked like he had just run up from the floor below.
“Ouch, I’m so tired. I almost couldn’t find a place…” Eric panted. Seeing his brother’s dark expression, he didn’t say anything else and followed him into the suite.
Eric had been drinking with his friends in the bar. The bar was extremely noisy. His phone rang three times in a row, but Eric didn’t notice it himself. In the end, it was his friend who reminded him that there was a light in his pocket. Only then did Eric know that someone had called to look for him.
As soon as he went to the bathroom to answer the call, Dean’s anxious voice came from the other end. “Eric, hurry up and go to the hotel to take a look.” “Huh? What’s wrong?” Eric hadn’t finished his wine yet. Was she asking him to leave now?
“Your sister! Audrey! Something happened! Hurry up and take a look.”
Eric’s head buzzed and he ran out the next second.
According to the address Dean had given him, Eric borrowed a friend’s car and sped all the way until he finally found the entrance of the hotel. Just as he was about to call Dean to ask where Audrey was, he bumped into her assistant.
Anna did not have the authority to go up to the top floor, so she could only wait in the hall on the first floor.
Seeing Eric rush in, she went up to him with tears in her eyes. “Director Eric!
You’re finally here!”
Anna quickly told Eric the whole story.
Eric heard his fists tighten in the end. After knowing that the assistant director of the production team was also involved, Eric cursed under his breath. “I won’t let him off easily.”
With that, he hurried up to the top floor.
When Abner and Eric entered the suite, they saw two female doctors doing a full-body checkup on Audrey.
“Oh! Sirs, you’re finally here.” One of the family doctors recognized Abner. When she saw that he and her brother had finally arrived, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“How is she?” Abner asked worriedly.
The female doctor’s assistant took off her stethoscope and said, “There’s no problem. It’s just that she has ingested too much ether. She will be fine after resting more.”
“Ether?” Eric was shocked and quickly looked at Abner. Their eyes were dark.
Audrey was in a daze as she felt her eyelids weigh a thousand kilograms. She couldn’t open them no matter how hard she tried.
In her confusion, she seemed to hear someone say something in her ear. She also seemed to hear Eric’s angry voice, followed by a panicked plea for mercy…
“Audrey.” After an unknown period of time, a female voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
In her daze, Audrey seemed to see a young woman standing in front of her. She held her face and examined it carefully, taking great care of it.
Audrey looked at the blurry-faced woman in front of her in shock.
Her mouth was still opening and closing.. “I’ve finally escaped, I’ve finally escaped… This is your own life, your own life…”
