Chapter 151


    Chapter 151 I Am Sorry


    In any case, Dominic’s n did not sit well with me. I was still in favor of going to the hospital, where


    Shannon would have a better chance of getting the treatment she needed. With all their fancy equipment


    and medical personnel, surely someone would be able to help her?


    s, Dominic just had to dash whatever little hope I had left. “Knowing what Quinn is like, I’m sure the


    medicine he used would baffle even the best doctors. Other than finding Shannon a man to satisfy her


    urges, there’s no other way.”


    Upon hearing that, I felt even more conflicted than before. What am I supposed to do? If Shannon finds


    out that I got a man to sleep with her, she’ll kill me!


    As if right on cue, Shannon started pawing and rubbing against me—a clear sign that her condition was


    worsening with every passing second.


    I hastily flung her wandering hands away and patted her face. “Shannon, stay awake! Do you know who I


    am?”


    Shannon stared nkly at me for a long while before mumbling, “Liliana? Liliana, I feel so hot all over.


    Quinn is…”


    As her voice trailed off, I pulled her into a tight embrace andforted her, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Quinn


    isn’t here. We’ve chased him away.”


    However, Shannon ignored me and continued to squirm in my arms whileining about how hot


    she felt.


    “Shannon, you’ve been drugged,” I said. “What do you want me to do? Must I really get a man for you?”


    I wasn’t sure if she could even register what I had said, but given how odd the “cure” was, it would only


    be right to ask for her permission.


    “I feel so terrible… Liliana, help me. Please help me…”


    “I want to help you, too, but the only solution is to get you a man,” I replied begrudgingly. “Shannon, are


    you sure about that?”


    Even though Shannon merely grunted in response, it was good enough of an acknowledgment for me.


    Okay, but what now? Where am I going to find a man for her? I can’t rope in any Tom, Dick, or Harry, can


    I?


    Just then, I had a light-bulb moment as my eyes wandered over to Calvin. “Umm… Calvin, would you


    consider…”


    In my eyes, Calvin was the perfect candidate. If I had to find Shannon a man, it would at least have to be


    someone trustworthy like him.


    Moreover, Calvin had the looks and the brains. If the interaction led to them developing feelings for each


    other, wouldn’t that be a happier ending?


    Unfortunately, my suggestion came more as a shock to Calvin as he identally swerved the car.


    That immediately earned me a re from Dominic. “Leave my assistant alone!”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “But why can’t I ask Calvin?” I retorted. “At least with him, I feel more at ease. Who else am I supposed


    to ask, if not him? You?”


    “You can try,” Dominic said through gritted teeth.


    Annoyed, I held my tongue.


    Fine. It’s not like I was seriously going to ask Dominic to step up to the task. I was too frustrated to think


    straight. But now, I’mpletely out of ideas. Who else can I ask?


    Just then, Calvin stopped the car in front of an apartment building, much to my surprise.


    It was a building I had never been to before, which made me all the more curious as to why we were


    there.


    Dominic quickly ordered Calvin to carry Shannon out of the car while pulling me along with him.


    “Where are we? Aren’t we supposed to be helping Shannon?”


    “Why else would we be here if not for helping her? Can’t you see she’s almost at the tipping point? We


    can’t drag this on anymore.”


    I knew Dominic was right as I turned to look at Shannon. If she didn’t get the help she needed soon,


    consequences would undoubtedly be dire.


    It was also a good thing that Calvin was around to offer assistance because I was sure I would not be


    able to hold Shannon up in her current state.


    As soon as we entered the elevator, my curiosity got the better of me. “So, who lives here? Can he be


    trusted? And what if he declines to help? I mean, no matter how you see it, this is a weird request.”


    “Benjamin Chance.”


    Dominic’s reply left me reeling with disbelief. Did I hear it right? Benjamin lives here? Does that mean


    Dominic intends to ask him for help?


    I had to admit that Benjamin was a good option. But will he readily agree to something so odd?


    Once the elevator reached the twenty-third floor, Dominic made a beeline for a particr unit and rang


    the doorbell.


    In just a few seconds, Benjamin answered the door.


    “Woah, this is a surprise!” he eximed when he saw us. “You wouldn’t be here for no reason, though.


    What’s going on?”


    Ha, clever guy. He hit the nail on the head.


    To say I was embarrassed would be an understatement, but somehow, Dominic remained unfazed.


    “We need your help.”


    “Oh,” Benjamin replied, stepping aside to make way for us. “Come in then.”


    “No need for that,” Dominic muttered as he shot a knowing look at Calvin.


    Before Benjamin could react, Shannon was already clinging onto him and touching him all over.


    “Ahh… It’s hot. Feels so good, mmm.”


    It was getting increasingly hard to watch and I was about to step in to help when Dominic pulled me


    away.


    Benjamin froze in his tracks, staring wide-eyed at us.


    “T-This… What’s the meaning of this?”


    I, too, was at a loss for words, but thankfully, Dominic had no such problem.


    He calmly pushed Shannon and Benjamin into the apartment and said, “She’s all yours tonight. You can


    get Yvonne to check on her after.”


    With that, he mmed the door shut and led me back to the elevator with Calvin in tow.


    Even as we made our way down the building, I couldn’t shake off my worries. “Should we be doing this?


    It doesn’t seem fair to either of them. What if Shannon mes me for this?”


    “She’ll only be thankful that you saved her,” Dominic replied coolly.


    That might be the case, but morally speaking, I still didn’t think it was right. “What about Benjamin? He-”


    “He should be thanking his lucky stars. What’s there for him toin about?”


    Dominic made everything sound so easy, yet it did nothing to quell the headache that had crept up on


    me.


    Just as we were about to reach the first floor, Dominic’s phone rang. To my surprise, not only did he not


    answer it, but he also turned his phone off.


    Then, he turned toward me and said, “Turn yours off too.”


    s, in my moment of hesitation, my phone started ringing, too. To make matters worse, the caller was


    none other than Benjamin.


    That made me even more sure that Benjamin was the one who called Dominic earlier, Unlike Dominic, I


    just could not bring myself to shrug it off.


    “Hello-”


    That was all I managed to say when Benjamin angrily interrupted, “Liliana, what are you and Dominic


    trying to do? Is this a joke? Get back here right now and take her away!”


    As I pondered my reply, I could hear him getting increasingly desperate. “Shannon Harper, stop touching


    me! Get your hands off me! Shannon!”


    I closed my eyes and mustered up the most apologetic tone I could. “I’m sorry!”


    Argh! If Shannon mes me for this, I don’t think she’ll ever forgive me!


    The guilt weighed on me so much that it kept me up all night. Even when morning came around, I still


    could not decide if I should call to check on things.
