Chapter 117 What happened to E


    The taxi arrived at Chuck''s Private Hospital, and the taxi driver got out of the car to get some help. E


    was groggy, slipping in and out of consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she was lying on a


    gurney, being wheeled into the hospital. E grabbed the nurse''s hand, "Please call Chuck for me..."


    She knew he was the one person that she could trust at this crucial moment.


    The nurse ignored her request and proceeded to push the gurney towards the emergency ward.


    "Please tell Chuck, It''s E. Please. He''ll know who it is." E felt like she was slipping and her heart


    was pounding faster. She almost wanted to take off her clothes since she was feeling very hot all of a


    sudden.


    An attending physician recognised E, and dialed Chuck''s phone number.


    At that moment, Chuck was resting in his office because he had just finished a 7-hour operation.


    When he heard that E was in the hospital, he went downstairs quickly.


    In the emergency ward on the first floor, E was twisting and turning on the hospital bed, in pain.


    Chuck immediately detected that there was something wrong. "Take her to an examination room,


    pronto." He tried to call Samuel but still couldn''t get through. He ordered a nurse to keep calling the


    number until she could speak to the owner. He rushed to E, to give her a check-up.


    Ten minutester.


    The nurse dialed Samuel''s phone number dozens of times but couldn''t get through. She came into the


    examination room, "Sir, there''s still no answer." "Keep trying until there is." Chuck spoke softly,


    watching as E slept. When he had walked into the examination room, E was in distress and looked


    like a mad woman. He had to ask several nurses to hold her and give her an injection. Once he was


    able to, E was changed into a hospital gown.


    Chuck wasn''t entirely sure what had urred. He looked at her hospital chat, trying to decipher what


    had made her react the way she did. Apart from the fever she had, nothing pointed to her state. He


    shook his head in confusion.


    "Nurse, take some of her blood. We need to get some tests done. I don''t want to write down the cause


    of this outburst as psychological, until we rule out that her physical health didn''t cause this."


    The nurse nodded, retrieved some blood samples and took them to theb. "Sir, there''s been an


    answer on the phone." The nurse who was tasked to call Samuel''s phone, came in and informed him.


    Samuel had just got off the ne, when he saw the many missed calls from Chuck''s private hospital.


    Just then another call came in from the same number. "Hello." He answered hurriedly. "Oh... hi. Hold


    for Sir Chuck." the voice on the other end sounded relieved.


    "Hello, Samuel. It''s Chuck. It''s about E, she''s had an ident. Come to my hospital..." And the


    phone hang up. Chuck knew that Samuel would be in shortly.


    Samuel originally nned to arrive a dayter, but something told him toe back earlier. He wanted


    to surprise E. From their video calls, he caught glimpses of E''s difort living at the old house


    and how sad she felt. Although she was an expert at feigning happiness, Samuel could always read


    her. So he dealt with all the cases within the shortest time and flew back to C Country without any stop.


    And it was just as well that he came early. He couldn''t wait for the car that was assigned to pick him up,


    so


    He got a taxi to take him to the hospital immediately.


    When she saw Samuel leaving in a hurry, Catherine was ted. She turned on her cellphone and


    contacted several people secretly.


    At the hospital.


    Samuel rushed into the ward. Chuck was conversing with a nurse, holding the toxicology report in one


    hand. He had a solemn expression on his face, which turned into relief when he saw Samuel. "She is in


    here." Chuck pointed to the room infront of him. E was in aa. Samuel threw the briefcase to the


    coach and rushed to her bedside.


    E''s hair was wet and her face looked pale with bruises at the corner of her mouth.


    Samuel had a bad feeling. He was trembling with fear and anger.


    Who had done this to her?


    Her shallow breathesforted him, that she was alive. In her delirium, she kept on muttering "Sum..


    Stop... Yang... Save them." The words were very faint, and Samuel had to crouch closer to hear them.


    This confused him. To add onto this, she had a hickey on her neck.


    He banished the idea that was popping in his head concerning what had happened to her.


    His eyes turned red. He turned and saw Chuck standing by the door. "What happened to her?"


    Chuck walked towards them and responded, "ording to the toxicology report, it appears that E


    was drugged with chloroform as well as injected with another sedative to keep her immobile... "


    Chuck stopped speaking when he saw the expression on Samuel''s expression.


    Samuel''s hands clinched the quilt tightly, his head congested with thoughts and emotions. He fought


    back tears in an attempt to maintainposure.


    "She was given a high dosage which caused her fever and demented state when she came in."


    "Demented?" Samuel asked with a hoarse voice.


    "Yes. She was very restless. We had to give her a sedative to calm her down. However, we are not


    sure how she will react when she wakes up. We suggest that you stay around, just so that she can see


    a familiar face when shees too." "I''m not going anywhere." Samuel said in a matter-of-factly, sort


    of way. He held her hand as the room fell into silence.


    Samuel didn''t know when Chuck left.


    He sat beside her with his eyes closed. His hand held E''s tightly. He was in deep thought.


    A nurse entered to withdraw the needle for her, but other than her, nobody else came in.


    After a while, E woke up. "Where am I? Samuel... save me." E was shaking in confusion. Her soft


    whisper caused a spasm in Samuel''s heart.


    "I''m here." His voice sounded hoarse.


    Hearing Samuel''s voice, E turned around in surprise. His handsome face peered into hers, lovingly.


    E shut her eyes, as she bathed in the love that he was radiating towards her. She didn''t have to


    worry any more because Samuel was here.


    She touched Samuel''s face, and brought him closer to her. "Make my pain go away." These words


    caused him to shut his eyes painfully.


    He certainly knew what she meant. But he still he could not persuade himself.


    He epted the fact that she had been drugged but he still couldn''t persuade himself to have her. Not


    in this way, not now.


    He retreated from her grasp and stood up upbruptly. He needed some fresh air to clear his mind.


    Realising that Samuel was leaving, E jumped from the bed and hugged his waist from the back.


    "Samuel, I don''t feel right. Please don''t leave me alone. Stay with me. Make me better." She pleaded,


    desperately in need for him. She wanted to forget what had happened a few minutes earlier, even if it


    was for a little while.


    "I''ll call Chuck. I''ll be back in a few minutes." Samuel ignored her pleas. Then he strode to the door.


    "Samuel! Please. I need you." Her face turned red again. When she was hotel bathroom, she roughly


    knew what happened to her.


    She also realised that she had been drugged.


    She needed her husband to take away the emotional pain.


    Just for this moment. Her sweet voice called out to him, and he finally sumbed to her pleas.


    Atst, he drew the curtain behind the door to cover the ss.


    He held E and went into the bathroom. He put her under the shower and let the warm water fall on


    her.


    E didn''t understand why Samuel did that. She tried to grab for him, but he pulled away.


    This made her sad, and she began to cry. "Samuel, I need you... Please.. Please."


    E repeated the words like a mantra.


    The tears that had threatened toe out earlier, descended down his cheeks.


    ...


    E didn''t know when Samuel had taken her back home.


    She only knew Samuel had gone when she woke up.


    She felt happy that


    Samuel was there when she needed him.


    However, her happiness turned into sadness and worry when she thought about Yang. She went


    downstairs quickly and called Samuel.


    In Samuel''s Law Office.

    Anna had worked for Samuel for several years but she had never seen him act the way he was acting


    on that day.


    He walked into the office, dishevelled and with a frightened expression on his face in the early morning.


    He had been in his office for three hours now, and he had been making phone calls all that time.


    His office door was closed, which was unusual. His door was always open. asionally when she


    looked at him through the window, Samuel was angrily talking through the phone.


    She was scared that the anger that she had seen would be directed towards her. But she needed to


    hand in financial reports that were due in today. Finally, Anna got some courage, knocked on the door


    and entered the office.


    "Yeah... Which hospital is the man in now?" She had Samuel ask. She stood frozen to the ground until


    Samuel noticed her presence.
