Karl then instructed the doctors to let Sasha take a nap there before quickly leaving with the samples.
The weather grew incredibly chilly as the sky grew dark in the evening, and the temperature dropped even further when it drizzled.
As they left the doors to the emergency ward open to facilitate the reception of patients, a sudden gust of chilly wind blew on Sasha, waking her up.
“You’re awake?” asked a nurse when she saw Sasha open her eyes.
Her eyelids fluttered for a bit as she slowly took in her surroundings before shifting her gaze toward the nurse. “What happened to me?”
“Someone came to visit your father earlier this afternoon. You got so agitated and passed out when you saw him. We’ve administered some sedatives, so please try to rest well,” the nurse explained patiently.
What? I’ve been sleeping here the whole afternoon?
Realizing what had happened, Sasha threw the blanket aside and sat upright immediately. “What about my dad? How is he now?”
She was in a hurry to see Rufus, but the nurse stopped her when she tried to get off the bed.
“Take it easy, Dr. Nancy. Your father is fine for the time being. The doctors have given him some medicine to stabilize his condition.”
Judging by the way the nurse addressed me as Dr. Nancy, I can tell that she isn’t treating me like an outsider… So… Dad’s condition is stabilized, huh…
Sasha felt slightly relieved upon hearing that.
“What medicine did they give him? Did you guys manage to find out what poisoned him?”
“No, it was that guy who came to see you earlier. He had someone else analyzed the sample, but they weren’t able to determine its exact contents, so we could only administer the antidotes we have available.”
The nurse told her everything about Karl, and she wasn’t lying about not finding anything about the poison, either.
Yancy is an exceptionally cruel and psychopathic woman. She owns Sinch Enterprise in Xenhall and a team of specialists in charge of researching and developing new drugs. All the products that she has invented so far are still unavailable on the black market, but those products would surely bring her huge profits once they do! The drug lords Karl contacted could not determine the contents of the poison because they have never seen it before!
With that in mind, Sasha quickly got off the bed and grabbed her coat before running out of the emergency ward.
“Where are you going, Dr. Nancy?”
“There’s something I need to take care of. Please look after my dad for me while I’m gone!” Sasha replied before disappearing behind the door.
She had to ask Karl what Rufus was poisoned with, where Sebastian was, and what he was playing at.
Even if we’re having a problem with our relationship right now, my dad’s life is on the line here! How could he be so cold-hearted toward his father-in-law?
After trudging through the chilly wind and rain for about thirty minutes, Sasha finally arrived at the Palace Hotel.
He has two incredibly cozy houses, and yet he chooses to stay at a hotel? Oh, the irony…
She thought to herself as she entered the lobby with her clothes drenched and her hair all messy.
“Hello, miss! Would you like to book a room?”
“No, I want go to your penthouse suite,” a pale-faced Sasha replied emotionlessly.
The penthouse suite? Isn’t that the one currently occupied by the President of Hayes Corporation?
The lady at the front desk frowned immediately upon hearing that. “I’m sorry, miss. A VIP guest currently occupies the penthouse suite. We can’t let you in without his permission.”
“I’m his wife!” Sasha said coldly before making her way toward the elevator.
His wife? A woman all drenched and disheveled like that?
Everyone at the front desk was completely shocked by what they had just heard.
Naturally, they didn’t believe Sasha at all, but she was already in the elevator by the time they regained their composure.
A few minutes later, Sasha was hammering away on the door of the penthouse suite while yelling at the top of her lungs, “Open the door, Sebastian!”
Sabrina’s words from the night before had calmed her down and gave her a glimmer of hope, but Sebastian’s cold and heartless actions that day had angered her to the core.
