Chapter 736 The Surging Pain

When Huston arrived, Evelyn had just finished receiving the first IV drip, and the nurse was replacing it

with a new one.

Evelyn was still unconscious on the hospital bed, with Grace standing by her side. The emergency

room was crowded, even in the early morning, and there was not a single vacant seat.

Huston’s gaze fell upon Evelyn’s pale face, and his feet felt as heavy as if they were laden with a

thousand pounds. He wanted to walk over and check on her, but he couldn’t seem to move a step.

“Nurse, when will she wake up?” Grace anxiously asked, checking in on Evelyn every few minutes.

“She needs to bring down the fever. It hasn’t fully subsided yet. With such a high temperature of 42

degrees, it’s no wonder she’s delirious and sleeping,” the nurse replied.

“Alright, thank you,” Grace said, turning her head to express her gratitude to the nurse. In the corner of

her eye, she caught sight of the tall figure standing behind her.

He was truly remarkable, impossible to miss even if one tried.

Grace was taken aback, noticing that he was still wearing a white sweater, which indicated that he had

rushed over from home without even changing his shoes. Ile was wearing slippers.

But what good would it do to be nervous and concerned? If he was truly the one who had caused

Evelyn to end up in the hospital, she wouldn’t let him off the hook!

With that in mind, Grace walked up to him and confronted him with a sharp tone, “Were you with

Evelyn last night?”

Huston’s Adam’s apple bobbed twice, his voice deep, “Yes.”

“Do you know that she was drugged?” Grace demanded.

“I have no idea.”

Upon hearing his response, Grace’s anger subsided slightly. If he had known about the drugging, then

he truly would be despicable!

“What happened between you last night? Didn’t you realize she was drugged?” she demanded.

Huston recollected the events of last night. After leaving the private room, he saw that scene. He was

blinded by anger and didn’t have time to think about the cause and effect. He just made a rough guess

and dragged her out of the bar. She didn’t say anything and didn’t explain anything, and she just told

him that she wanted to see Lucas. His anger intensified, and he couldn’t think straight.

He didn’t deny it. There was a moment when he didn’t want to deal with her, leaving her there alone.

But he couldn’t do it and he still instructed Marcellus’s men to safely send her back.

He was also a man, with his own pride. It wasn’t about dignity, but she didn’t love him. She would

rather do such things with

someone else than seek him out. It didn’t sit well with him.

But he had overlooked her physical condition. Upon closer reflection, her behavior last night was

indeed abnormal. It wasn’t just from being frightened; there were definite physiological reactions.

Huston didn’t know how to react in that moment. She was clearly in distress, yet she had endured it in

front of him. How little trust she must have in him?

But what good would anger do now? Seeing her lying pale on the hospital bed, all his resentment

vanished.

Grace watched his silent demeanor and couldn’t help but feel relieved when she thought of this

morning’s situation, she said, “She fainted shortly after arriving home last night, but she woke up after a

while. She didn’t want to go to the hospital, so I stayed in the bedroom with her. The next morning, she

woke up with a temperature of forty-two degrees. She must have been feeling unwell even when she

was outside last night. she just couldn’t handle it.”

As Huston listened, a pang of guilt surged within him.

If only he had been more attentive last night, it might not have escalated to this point.

Forty-two degrees, how much she must have suffered.

Grace observed his remorseful expression and refrained from voicing her reproach. She looked at the

stiff figure of the man and excused herself to get some water, making room for him.
