Chapter 1254


    Draven hid in a dark corner, waiting for his chance to carry out the n. As soon as he saw a waiter


    serving steak and wine to Levant, he went to the waiter and initiated small talk.


    “Excuse me, may I know if the guest in room 3081 is there?”


    “I think so.” The waiter turned around to look at the room, then replied.


    While the waiter was looking away in the other direction, Draven swiftly slipped a few drops of sleeping


    drug into the wine.


    “Oh, I see. Thank you.”


    “You’re wee.” Holding the serving tray in his hand, the waiter walked away. Soon, he arrived at


    Levant’s room and knocked on the door. “Sir, here’s the food you ordered.”


    “Hand it to me,” answered Levant as he grabbed the tray from the waiter, then mmed the door shut.


    Draven was secretly delighted. He believed Levant would faint soon after he consumed the wine. When


    that happened, he could finally transport him back to Nepenthe Valley.


    An hourter, Draven changed into a waiter’s uniform and knocked on Levant’s door again.


    Yet, there was no response from the other side of the door. Draven used the door card he obtained


    earlier to unlock the door and saw Levant copsed in a chair.


    Was the sleeping drug too strong or did he drink too much?


    “Mr. Levant…” Draven gently shook Levant to wake him up. Upon confirming that Levant was fully


    unconscious, Draven made a phone call.


    Later that night, Levant regained his consciousness with a heavy feeling lingering in his head. He was


    stunned to see a wooden roof above him the moment he opened his eyes. After a short while, he sat


    up from the bed.


    Beside the bed sat Evan, Davin, Draven, Nina, and Monica, who were all looking at him.

    “You… Why am I here?”


    Davin coughed lightly before beginning his scripted speech. “Levant, we’re awfully moved by your


    actions. You were thinking about helping Nina while drunk, so you returned to Nepenthe Valley. I


    always knew you were full of love! I knew you wouldn’t watch Nina suffer. You’re such a saint, Levant!”


    At the end of the speech, Davin gave Levant two thumbs-up to praise him further.


    However, Levant lookedpletely dumbfounded after hearing Davin’s words.


    He sank into his thoughts for a moment and turned to Davin in bewilderment. “Did you just mention


    that… I returned to Nepenthe Valley on my own will?”


    “That’s right!” Davin gave him a thumbs-up as reassurance.


    Levant tried to recall where he wasst night. He merely remembered drinking alone and feeling dizzy


    afterward. A few momentster, he started seeing double of his winess and gradually faded out of


    consciousness.


    He just couldn’t recalling back to Nepenthe Valley by himself. Moreover, judging from his muscle


    memory and his hostility toward Crystal Rose, he felt the absurdity of his actions as well.


    As soon as Davin noticed the suspicion on Levant’s face, he exchanged a nce with Draven, to which


    thetter immediately understood and exined, “Mr. Levant, I didn’t believe you would return to


    Nepenthe Valley at first, too. I thought I was hallucinating until I walked toward you and discovered that


    it was really you! You’re such a kind-hearted man!”


    Levant was clouded with doubt. He stared at Draven and asked, “How did I return to this ce?”


    “You found a driver to send you to the valley’s entrance, then walked into Nepenthe Valley by yourself.


    However, it appears you might’ve been too drunk to walk straight. Luckily, I met you halfway while I was


    running errands for Mr. Evan with a few other bodyguards.”


    Levant brows furrowed together. How did I call a cab while being heavily intoxicated? I even directed


    the driver to send me to the valley’s entrance and walked into the valley all by myself…


    “How did you know I called a cab?”


    Draven was stunned for a second before he muttered, “You told me about it in a daze when the


    bodyguards and I brought you back.”


    Never mind the possibility and logical aspect of the matter, Levant believed he would never return to


    this ce of his own free will.


    However, seeing how confident Davin and Draven were, he had no reason to suspect anything else.


    After all, if he didn’t return by himself, why would he be here?


    “Levant, I am eternally grateful for your help toward Nina. It means a lot to me, and I promise to repay


    this debt I owe you in the future.”
