Chapter 39


    Chapter 39 Extreme Cold And Heat


    Eliana tried to hold back her tears.


    Since she couldn’t find Hodge, she decided to ask Maurice directly.


    Turning around, she went back to the banquet hall.


    In the hall, people mingled, crystal sses in their hands.


    Waiters and waitresses were shuttling among the guests, serving them.


    After talking to an elderly man, Maurice walked to the table.He loosened his tie, revealing his s**y neck.


    Just then, a waiter walked over to the table with a te.


    Picking up a ss of wine from him, Maurice looked around for Eliana.

    Before he found her, he noticed that the waiter kept peeking at him.He suddenly turned around and


    stared at the waiter, who immediately became nervous.


    Maurice noticed that something was wrong, and questioned, "Who sent you here?"


    His voice was low, intimidating and cold.


    "I…"


    Terrified, the waiter was weak in the knees and almost knelt down.


    Maurice sneered and pushed the ss to him.


    "Fine.Drink this."


    The waiter’s hands trembled.He did not dare to take the ss of wine.


    While they were in a stalemate, Eliana rushed over, gasping for breath, and heard Maurice say, "Drink


    it first, and then we’ll have a nice talk.And if you refuse, then you will be facing really bad


    consequences."


    Eliana was so frightened that she shrank back.


    Did Maurice already know what she was about to ask him? She looked at the goblet in front of her


    hesitantly.


    The crimson liquid inside emitted a sweet aroma.


    If Maurice was willing to tell the truth, then she would not even mind drinking poison, let alone a ss


    of wine.


    Eliana snatched the ss from him immediately.


    Maurice was shocked, but by the time he grabbed her wrist to stop her, it was already toote.


    There was not even a single drop of wine left in the ss.


    "Eliana! What are you doing?"

    He looked at her coldly and clenched his jaw.


    "Didn’t you know that something was mixed in the wine?"


    "Wh…What? If there was something wrong with it, then why did you give it to me?"


    Eliana looked at him as though he was a pervert.


    "You took it from my hand," Maurice reminded her, gritting his teeth.


    With a long face, Eliana grabbed her dress and asked, "Is it toote for me to go to the hospital now? I


    just…didn’t…"


    Her breath became abnormal and she staggered.


    Maurice grabbed her arm, frowning.


    "How are you feeling?"


    "Hot."


    Eliana’s cheeks were flushed and her breath became heavier.Her vision slowly turned blurry, and she


    could only see a handsome man in front of her.


    Feeling his cool touch, she could not help but grab his hand and snuggle up to him, his breath brushing


    against her skin.She closed her eyesfortably, wrapping her arms around his waist.


    Maurice’s expression darkened.He knew that the wine was mixed with some drug.And now, it became


    clear as to what was mixed in it.


    "I feel so bad.Please take me to… The hospital…"


    Eliana’s voice was soft and sweet.


    The feeling that she was experiencing was rather new and strange to her.


    Burning desire flowed through her blood, causing her body temperature to rise.


    Some guests, who had just seen Maurice question the waiter, now were stunned to see her moaning.


    They were all gazing at her movements.


    Everyone felt that she was too bold for showing her coquetry in public so brazenly.


    Maurice nced at them coldly, scaring them.He then bent down, picked up Eliana, and strode out of


    the banquet hall.


    With her arms around his neck, she asked, "What… What’s happening to me?"


    Heat was surging in her body, and she was slowly bing limp.She was in a daze, but she reminded


    him, "Take me to the hospital…"


    "Shut up!"


    Maurice frowned, got in the elevator, and pressed the button, taking her to the thirty-ninth floor.


    Once they got off the elevator, he took out a card and opened the door to a room.


    After putting her down on the bed gently, he called his private doctor.


    However, before he hung up, Eliana restlessly sat up and hugged him from behind, pressing her cheek


    against the back of his neck.


    Maurice took a deep breath, disconnected the call, turned around, and pressed Eliana back to the bed.


    "Behave yourself!" Eliana gasped faintly, tempting him.


    "Help me… I feel terrible."


    Even though Maurice was cold-hearted, he couldn’t take it.He carried her to the bathroom, put her


    down in the bathtub, and turned on the faucet.


    As cold water ran into the bathtub, he said, "The doctor will be here soon."


    Eliana felt so cold that it made her shiver, but the heat inside her burned ever strong.The water did not


    help at all.It was like she was being tortured with extreme cold and heat.


    Tears welled up in her eyes.She raised her head, and saw that Maurice’s face was also blurry now


    because of her tears.She wanted him.


    He was her only antidote.


    Passion took over her mind, and she pounced on him, kissing him.


    "Eliana! Sober up!"


    With a frown, Maurice pushed her back into the bathtub, but the water sshed all over him, wetting


    his clothes.


    And Eliana seemed to have not heard him at all.She clung to him and kissed his lips.


    Maurice’s resoluteness was shattered by her messy kiss.He gulped with an unfathomable look in his


    eyes.
