Chapter 337


    Due to Paxton’s injuries, the interrogation had to be called off, so William took Valeria home.


    It was already eight o''clock at night, and they hadn''t had a good rest since midnight, so they were very


    tired.


    While worrying for Valeria, he poured her a ss of milk and said, "Have a ss of milk first.Don''t


    worry, I''ll find a way to make Paxton confess!"


    "William, I know you''ve always been helping me, but this time...you don''t have to if it puts you in a


    difficult position!"


    She took the milk and ced it on the tea table.


    "I''m not in a difficult position!"


    "I know you are! Paxton is your sister''s servant, and your sister is the wife of the Saunders family.The


    Saunders family will definitely help your sister, and your father will not stand by.There''s so much


    pressure from all sides...I don''t want to make it difficult for you!"


    "I said it''s not difficult for me!"


    He picked up the milk again and pressed it against her mouth.


    "Be good and listen to me.Have a ss of milk first.You haven''t eaten lunch, so you must be hungry


    now!"


    She opened her mouth and drank half a cup of the milk, then he finished what was left.


    "If you don''t have the appetite to eat, I''ll ask Bobby to make you some seafood porridge!"


    "I can''t eat!" She sighed.


    "William, you know that I won''t me you even if you don''t help me, right?" He frowned.


    "Valeria, what are we to each other?"


    "We''re a couple?" She replied.


    "Just that? I see you as my wife, but you only see me as your boyfriend?"


    He looked at her with hurt.


    "I''m sorry! It came out wrong!" She apologized.


    "I don''t want your apology.I know that you are very upset and afraid now, and I know that what you


    have seen makes you suspect me.But Valeria, I am different from them! I will not do such vicious things


    to you.I will not abandon you.No matter what happens, I will be by your side to care of you and protect


    you!"


    "William!"


    She burst into tears.She put her arms around his waist and said, "You must be the angel sent by God


    to save me, right? I''m such a bad person...I don''t have any capabilities, I''m not talented, and I''m super


    stubborn.Why are you so kind to me?"


    "No reason.I just want to be good to you.Only you for the rest of my life!"


    While they hugged each other emotionally, Lamont''s phone call came through.


    Valeria let go of William''s embrace and answered the phone, "Uncle Saunders!"


    "Miss Brown, pleasee out for a moment.I have something to say to you."


    "Come in and talk! I''ll open the door for you."


    "No, youe out instead!"


    Since he didn''t want toe in, she had to get up.


    "I''m going to see Uncle Saunders."


    William frowned.


    What did Lamont mean by refusing toe in? Did Lamont not want him to listen to their


    conversation? This was too hrious.


    William was unhappy so he didn''t go out with her.He sat on the sofa and called Marcus.


    "Are you keeping an eye on the hospital?"


    "Yes, we have police guarding at the door.There are two people there, so I don''t think anything will


    happen." He replied.


    "We can''t be careless. If my guess is right, someone will try to get close to the ward tonight."


    William did not believe that Paxton would harm Natalie for no reason , and it was too big of a risk to


    help Julie get the Brownard Group''s property.


    If he pieced the story together with what Ronald told himst night about Savannah, Natalie, and


    Archer, then Paxton should just be an aplice instead of the mastermind.


    Given Paxton’''s current situation, it was impossible for the mastermind to not show up.


    At the very least, they had to do something.


    Right now, he was anticipating their arrival at the hospital.


    Marcus replied, "It''s very quiet so far!"


    William took a look at the time.


    "Maybe they''ll take action at midnight? Tell your men to be alert.Keep an eye on the situation!"


    Marcus promised to do so and hung up the phone.


    William stood up and walked to the window.


    He saw Valeria and Lamont arguing with each other beside the car.


    He shook his head and turned around.


    Marcus’ call came in again.


    "Mr.Howard, someone from the hospital called to report that Paxton’ s sister was in the hospital."


    "Really? When?"


    "Half an hour ago, his sister went to the ward to visit him, but she was stopped by the guards.She left


    sulkily after she was unable to see him!"


    William frowned at his words.


    That didn''t seem right.


    Since his sister had deliberately nned to meet him, she wouldn''t just leave without seeing him,


    unless there was something else that she had to do at the hospital.


    Other than seeing Paxton, what did she have to do? Was she acting as a decoy? Did she serve as a


    distraction so that the actual n could be carried out? When he thought about it, he immediately


    asked, "Did anything else happen in Paxton''s ward after she left?"


    Marcus replied, "A nurse went in to check on his IV drip, but other than that there was nothing."


    "Check on his IV drip?"


    William murmured.


    Suddenly, a blurry thought came into his mind.


    "Natalie was poisoned from an IV drip.Could it be..."


    He had a bad feeling about it.


    "That''s not good.Inform the police at the hospital immediately.Something might have happened to


    Paxton!"


    After his sister left, Paxton was extremely annoyed.


    Was she here to get information about the situation? Savannah wouldn''t have let his sistere to visit


    him alone, right? She would definitely have arranged for someone else.


    Now, he waited for the second person to arrive.


    Hopefully, Savannah had thought of a n to save him.


    If she gave up on him, he would be doomed! As he thought to himself, the door of the ward was


    pushed open, and the nurse came in to change his IV drip.


    The two policemen who were guarding him also came in.


    "Is he alright now? Why is he still unconscious?"


    The nurse reached out to measure his heartbeat and pulse.


    "His heartbeat and pulse are all normal.During the operation, the doctor also said that there was no life-


    threatening danger.There should be no problem!"


    "That''s good!"


    After listening to the nurse''s words, the two policemen did not say anything else.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Standing beside him, they watched the nurse change his IV drip before closing the door and leaving.


    After that, Paxton was left in the ward alone, and there was no one else around him.


    He opened his eyes slightly, and his heart was pounding.


    The police had begun to suspect him for not waking up, so there was a high possibility that he would be


    exposed for faking unconsciousness.


    What should he do now? What the hell was Savannah doing? He didn ‘t believe that she couldn''te


    up with a solution.


    Even if she didn''t have one, Charles should havee up with something, right? Was she nning on


    giving him up? This idea made his heart skip a beat.


    He had been thinking that she woulde to save him.


    What if she gave up on him? She would never give him the chance to betray her.


    Furthermore, Savannah was good at dealing with people while they were in the hospital.


    Was she doing it to him right now? As he thought about it, he realized that his body felt different from


    just now.


    There was something wrong! When the thought crossed, he struggled to pull the needle out.


    Unfortunately, it was toote, and the poison had taken effect.


    Paxton opened his eyes wide, unwillingly looking at the poison entering his blood vessels bit by bit.
