Chapter 16 The man's hands trembled as he saw the blood on Woodrow's mouth and the floor . " I'll take you to the hospital now , Mr. Hartwell ." He helped Woodrow to leave . Kaneeta's gaze fell upon the blood on the floor , and she couldn't help but wonder . Woodrow's self - control was astonishing - he held out against the drug till he coughed up blood . Exactly what kind of man was he ? She went back to the private room , where the door was guarded by Woodrow's black - clad bodyguards . Frankie , Alan , and the others sat inside , all looking baffled . At the sight of her , Frankie immediately asked , " Ms. Drayton , you're finally back . What's going on ? " Frankie was truly stunned . While drinking , Woodrow had suddenly left the private room , and then Edmund finally couldn't Chapter 16 help but puke violently . After receiving a call , Edmund had left , too , saying it was urgent . He and the rest had waited for quite a while , but neither Edmund nor Woodrow came back . Then these bodyguards showed up , put all the drinks and food away , not even leaving those empty bottles , glasses , and plates behind . So , what exactly had happened ? Since it involved Woodrow , Kaneeta didn't explain much and just gave them a few reassuring words . Soon , one of the bodyguards came to her , asking nicely for her to leave . Maybe they had been instructed to keep her away from this mess . I- She said bye to Frankie and the others and then left . As she walked out of the restaurant and was about to hail a cab , Nyasia's Instagram update caught her eye . Nyasia had posted two photos . One was her wrist , wrapped in thick bandages , and the other was a man's profile as he was peeling an apple for her . It was Edmund . The caption was , " As long as you're with me ." " Chapter 16 Judging from the background , they were in the hospital . Kaneeta now knew why Edmund had left so abruptly , even though he'd been vomiting so violently . Nyasia had tried to kill herself . Their little drama didn't concern her at all . She soon got into a cab , went back to her place , took a shower , and was about to get some proper sleep . But , after she closed her eyes , Woodrow's restrained , self- controlled frown suddenly surfaced in her mind . The sweat kept dripping down his face … She wanted to call his subordinate to ask how he was doing now , but found it inappropriate . Picking up her phone , she saw nothing new from Woodrow on Instagram . Since he had been sent to the hospital already , maybe there was nothing to worry about . Even so , she was still worried . She tossed and turned before finally falling into a fitful sleep . The next morning , she received a call from Woodrow's Chapter 16 subordinate not long after she got up . " Ms. Drayton , could you come to the hospital ? " She grew nervous at once . " Is … Mr. Hartwell alright ? " " Yes , he is . I was just wondering if you could come see him at the hospital . " She agreed . She felt sorry for what had happened to Woodrow , being drugged like this . Besides , he had indeed helped her through that terrible stomachache when she had been completely helpless . It was only right if she paid him a visit . To her surprise , just as she arrived at the hospital , she bumped into Edmund and Nyasia , who were stepping out . Edmund's face was a little pale as he carefully held Nyasia in his arms , asking her gently how she was feeling . " Ms. Drayton ? " Nyasia spotted her first . " Are you here to see me ? " Don't flatter yourself , " Kaneeta said icily . Not wanting to waste another second on them , she was about to walk into the hospital . Chapter 16 But Edmund stopped her , his expression darkening . " Neeta , didn't you see Nya's wrist ? She's hurt and now vulnerable . How could you treat her with such an attitude ? " Kaneeta couldn't help but want to laugh out loud . Only a fool like Edmund would believe Nyasia really wanted to kill herself . Edmund grew even more displeased as he looked at the expression on Kaneeta's face . " You .. " Just as he was about to question her , a shrill car horn cut through the air . He instinctively turned around to look , only to see an out - of- control truck hurtling right at them . " Nya , watch out ! "
