“Keep up!” Shane shouted at the doctor while he continued making his way to the elevator.
It was past midnight by the time they arrived at his apartment.
Mrs. Wilson was watching TV at the time and opened the door for them when she heard the commotion outside.
“What happened, sir?” Mrs. Wilson asked in surprise when she saw the messy state of their clothes.
“I’ll tell you about it later. Right now, I need you to come to the bathroom with me,” Shane said as he made his way towards the bathroom with Natalie in his arms.
Mrs. Wilson motioned for the doctor to take a seat before following Shane into the bathroom.
Shane then proceeded to fill the bathtub stripped Natalie naked before placing her in it.
Mrs. Wilson understood what had happened when she noticed the hickeys all over her body. “Sir, did you and Ms. Smith…”
Shane knew what she was going to say and mumbled a response to admit what he did.
“Congratulations, sir!” Mrs. Wilson exclaimed with a huge smile on her face.
I knew Mr. Shane was into Ms. Smith! There’s no way he’d head over to her apartment and send her kids to school every day if he wasn’t! I used to think that Ms. Smith wasn’t really worthy of being with Mr. Shane, but I guess it’s okay if he likes her and her two adorable children so much. His happiness is all that matters, after all!
Shane raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Wilson after hearing what she said. “You help bathe her. I’ll go talk to the doctor.”
He was still feeling lightheaded due to the effects of the drug.
“All right, go on, Sir. I’ll take it from here.” Mrs. Wilson nodded and grabbed a towel before sitting down by the bathtub.
Shane took one more look at Natalie and rubbed his forehead as he went to see the doctor in the living room.
The doctor examined his pulse and his pupils before announcing, “While the effects of the drug have mostly worn off, an injection is required to fully get rid of it in your system.”
“Go ahead, then.” Shane said groggily.
Having received his permission, the doctor retrieved a syringe from the first-aid kit.
Shane had just rolled up his sleeve when his phone started ringing.
He answered the call with his other arm when he saw that it was from Silas, “Has everything been taken care of?”
“Yes, and Jasmine has also confessed that she was acting under Harrison’s instructions when she escaped the mental hospital. She was supposed to drug you and have sex with you so you would have to take responsibility over her.”
Shane narrowed his eyes. “Take responsibility? In her dreams!”
Silas nodded with a look of disdain on his face. “The two of them had come up with the plan together. The idea was to get Jasmine pregnant with your child so that she’ll be spared the prison sentence. Harrison would then force you into marrying her, killing two birds with one stone.”
“Heh… What a brilliant plan they’ve got there, eh?” Shane’s voice was ice-cold as he let out a chuckle.
Sean has set me up once five years ago, and now it’s Harrison and Jasmine… Using Jacqueline’s name was a smart move on their part, though. She even waited until I had drank that glass of water before appearing before me.
“Those guys roughed Jasmine up pretty badly, so she’s been sent to the hospital for treatment. I’ve already informed Harrison about this. He’s on his way to the hospital as we speak.”
“Put her back into the mental hospital after that. Since she’s pretending to be crazy to avoid prison, we’ll give her a hand and make it a reality!” Shane said coldly.
