Hugh shouted, "ir, you—"
"No matter what you want to do to me, at least let me send her back to her room first."
ir cut him off and carried Mable upstairs.
"Fuck!"
Hugh cursed. He knew he could not stop ir, so he quickly asked someone to call the doctor.
When ir carried Mable into her bedroom, he realized she was on an IV drip and pulled out the needle before it finished.
The back of her hand had swollen.
The doctor rushed over and gave Mable the IV drip again. He also instructed ir, "Ms. Jefferson is very weak. To avoid further stress or strain, she''ll have to rest and recuperate for a few days at least." ir sat quietly on the edge of the bed and held Mable''s hands together. He was careful as if she was a treasure.
"What happened to her?"
Mable was fine when she left. Why was she so weak at the moment?
Hugh crossed his arms at the side and replied to him sarcastically, "What do you think happened? If you hadn''t tricked her with a fake Ice Jade Flower, she wouldn''t have been poisoned.
"Do you know she vomited blood all night and had her stomach cleansed thrice? She''s lucky to be alive now!"
ir was in despair.
Rahman also said that the Ice Jade Flower was fake.
ir had ced the Ice Jade Flower in the safe in his study after he brought it back. No one else had touched it.
In that case, the Ice Jade Flower Salomon gave him was a fake!Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
He was filled with killing intent as soon as he thought about that.
"I''ll look into it."
"You''d better look into it and exin to her!"
ir did not say anything else. He kept staring at Mable''s pale face, seemingly heartbroken.
As Hugh looked at him, he suddenly felt he was an eyesore.
He scratched his head and walked out.
His men were everywhere, so he was not afraid that ir would harm Mable.
When he went downstairs, Rahman happened to have returned.
"Where''s ir?" Rahman asked him as soon as he came in.
Hugh pointed at the second floor. "Upstairs."
"Why did you let him go up? What does that scum want to do to Mabes?!"
Rahman rolled his sleeves. He was about to charge upstairs but was stopped by Hugh.
"Boss woke up just now and was kind of
Staremad. You''d better not . This is our turf a wouldn''t dare do any
ir
Rahman scratched his hair and plopped onto the sofa. "Hugh, why are you so useless? ir was right in front of you, yet you couldn''t take
him down!"
Hugh twitched his mouth. "Didn''t you bring some men to get him killed? What happened?"
Rahman did not say a word.
Hugh sat on the sofa and pulled out a cigarette but did not light it. "Do you really think ir swapped the Ice Jade Flower?"
Rahman frowned and answered after some thought, "Given how he reacted, it doesn''t seem like it."
In fact, once they had calmed down and thought about it again, it did not seem like something ir would do.
Judging from how ir reacted after learning of Mable''s poisoning, he probably did not know the Ice Jade Flower was a fake. However...
"Salomon wouldn''t sell fake goods, right?"
Hugh said after some thought, "We''d
veli
better look into this. After all, the ce Jade Flower isn''t an ordinary medicinal herb. Many people are openly and covertly fighting for it."
He was worried about letting ir investigate the matter alone. So, he decided to let his men secretly investigate Salomon too.
When Mable woke up again, the sun was almost setting.
The setting sun shone in through the window on ir, making him look warm.
ir immediately held her hands when she woke up. "Mabes, you''re awake. Are you feeling alright?"
Mable nodded and answered hoarsely, "I''m fine. Just feeling a little weak."
ir helped her sit up and fed her some water.
"Did Rahman and Hugh hurt you?"
ir stared at her and asked, "Mabes, are you concerned about me?"
Mable was stunned and looked outside the window. "I''m just afraid you''ll take revenge on them if they offend you."
