Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 90

 

Clara ran towards the door barefoot.

She pulled open the door and was about to rush out. She didn’t expect George to be coming in to check on her, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Just as she was about to bump into George, he grabbed her arm and held her steady. “Hey, you’ve slept for three days. Do you have the strength to charge outside as soon as you’re awake?”

Clara was panicking. After seeing the person in front of her, her tense nerves relaxed.

“Dr. Deleon, why am I here?”

“You don’t remember?” George brought her back to the room and let her sit down on the sofa. He took out a blood syringe and drew her blood.

“That’s right. That drug corrodes the nervous system. It makes sense that you don’t remember anything. “

“You’ve been drugged. That drug is prohibited, and its medicinal properties are extremely violent. Back then, I could only produce one tube of antidote, and Ethan asked me to give it to Baxter.”

Clara pursed his lower lip and her little face seemed to have been washed away by rain. “I was raped, wasn’t I?”

“Ah?” George looked up at Clara with confusion. “You were already like that, and only Ethan could help you. Is that also called rape?”

Clara blinked and finally understood. “So, it was Ethan who came. I thought...”

The last person she had seen was Steve. She had thought she had been violated by him.

George knew what she was worried about. His thin lips slightly curled into a smile, “Don’t worry, no one dares to touch Ethan’s things. That Steve Lane will be detained for ten days without bail.”

“What’s happened?” Clara asked him hurriedly.

George told her everything that had happened during the three days she was unconscious.

The first was that Steve had tried to violate her, and because of insufficient evidence, he was only detained by the police for ten days.

Now headlines on all major media websites were all negative news about Steve Lane, and it had greatly impacted ARCTIC. Several companies who had cooperated closely with ARCTIC had terminated their relationships.

“Another item is about Sharon,” George pressed the cotton pad against Clara’s finger after the blood had been drawn. “This drug is something that can’t be bought even if you have money. We suspected that someone gave it to her, and also instructed her to treat you viciously. “

“Originally, Ethan said that when Sharon woke up, we would interrogate her. However, when Donny kicked the door in to apprehend her, he found that she was already dead.”

“That aphrodisiac was quite lethal, which is why it is banned in most countries. She took at least three douses in one night...” Clara was a woman after all, and considering her temperament, George didn’t say anything else. “Many chat records had been deleted from her WhatsApp. That’s why when she died, the investigation came to a dead end.”

Clara trembled with fear when she heard this.

She had met with Sharon several times, and knew that she wasn’t that bright, her desire to harm others was always clearly written on her face.

After coming to The Mcerrin Hotel to participate in the welcome party and finding out that Sharon had set up the trap, Clara had wondered how she had come up with such a cruel and despicable trick.

She hadn’t realized that someone had made the plan for Sharon.

George saw that Clara’s face was pale and said, “Don’t worry too much. Ethan will deal with these things. By the way, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?”

Clara shook her head. “My arms and feet were a little week when I got up, but now I’m much better. Thank you, Dr. Deleon.”

“Don’t mention it. After all, Ethan is going to give me money.”

George put away the tools on the table and stood up. “Since you’re okay, then I will go back to the hospital. Donny is still waiting outside. When you’re done, let him bring you back.”

“Okay.” Clara nodded.

After sending George out, Clara went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.

After taking a shower, she felt comfortable, and her brain had completely woken up.

She picked up a brand-new skirt from the chair and put it on.

When she was looking for the hairdryer, her eyes swept over the bedside table, and she saw a necklace on it.
