She let out a long sigh, but made a chilling discovery.
Her heart tightened, and she anxiously ran her fingers through her hair, then dashed into the bathroom like a madwoman. After locking the bathroom door, she leaned over the sink, forcing herself to vomit all the chicken soup she had in her stomach.
But probably because she was too hungry just now, she tried several times and couldn’t spit anything out.
Summer Shawcross bit her lip, her face already pale beyond belief. After hesitating for a moment, she walked to the bathtub, turned on the tap, adjusted the water to its lowest temperature, and then stripped off her clothes, immersing herself entirely in the ice-cold water.
In the early summer, the temperature at night was still somewhat low, and the cold water was bone-chilling.
Summer shivered, instinctively wrapping her arms around her chest.
But to her relief, after all this, her body quickly cooled down.
She sighed, finally slightly relieved.
.........
Study, in front of the window.
Noah Drexler stood there with a cold expression, his gaze fixed on the direction of the iron gate outside the window.
He pressed his thin lips tightly together, suppressing the anger in his heart, and glanced at the time on his watch.
Time passed second by second, and that guy Flynn Hughes still hadn’t shown up.
His expression became increasingly icy.
At this moment, he really had a mind to kill Flynn Hughes!
Heavens knew how much this fool had trapped him!
............
——Knock knock knock!
...............
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the study door from outside.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the butler hurried in with an anxious look.
"Sir..."
"What happened?" he frowned, asking in a low voice.
"It’s Mrs..." The butler sighed, hesitating to speak, momentarily unsure how to explain to the sir.
Although Mrs threatened her not to tell the sir, she thought it over and still felt he should know.
She was worried that Mrs would harm her health.
As soon as the butler mentioned Summer Shawcross, the expression on Noah’s handsome face changed, and he asked concernedly.
"What’s wrong with her?" There was a look of tension in his dark eyes.
Being questioned by Noah, the butler showed a guilty expression, lowered her head, and whispered.
"Madam... has locked herself in the room for quite a while... I’m worried she might..."
Before she finished speaking, the man’s gaze standing by the window darkened, and he immediately took large strides out of the study toward the bedroom.
He stopped when he reached the bedroom door, turned the doorknob, and found it was indeed locked from the inside.
His handsome face turned extremely grave.
"I’ll get the spare key!" The butler following him spoke and then turned to leave.
Noah just glanced down at the solid wooden door in front of him, then took a step back.
Soon after... he raised his long leg and kicked the door hard!
——Bang! With a sound, the sturdy door was kicked open by him!
He did not linger at the doorway but walked into the bedroom with large strides.
The butler froze at the door, looking down at the kicked-in door with a surprised expression at first, then sighed with distress.
