“I suppose.” Flora nodded. In a calm, relaxed tone, she added, “She’s awake and she’s fine for now. Besides, we caught the culprit. It’s not related to what you suffered. Don’t take it too seriously.”
“Well then, that’s good,” I said dryly, unsure of what else to say.
Now, it was Harry’s turn bursting into laughter. “Bro, why do you look so nervous?”
“I’m not,” I protested stiffly. With a straight face, I added, “Get your hand off my shoulder please.”
Harry snorted but he obliged me and withdrew his hand. He walked to Flora, grabbed her arm, and started dragging her away. “Let’s go. I’m starving.”
Before they left, Flora turned around and gave me a quick look. “Prince Rufus is still inside. You’d better not disturb them.”
“Why bother to stop him? He doesn’t want to have dinner with us. Let’s go already,” Harry urged, a flicker of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
“Will you relax?” Flora retorted. “Did you starve to death in a past life?”
“Oh, yeah? Look at how big your cheeks are. You must’ve eaten to death in your past life!”
“Harry! Friendship over!”
They bickered as they walked away. I had half a heart to catch up with them, but seeing Flora’s receding figure in the distance, I gave up.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky and blotted out the sun. Passers-by ran like headless chickens, trying to find a place of refuge before the storm came. I stood alone at the gate of the hospital. The noises surrounding me seemed to fade into the background.
“Are you still going to visit Sylvia?” Salt asked quietly.
I kept silent for a long time. Finally, I threw the bouquet of flowers into the trash can. “I’m going to look for Alina.”
Sylvia’s POV
I looked at the door and found that it was Blair.
As soon as he opened the door, he instantly brought his hands up to his eyes and stepped back out. “Oh, I’m sorry! I’m sorry to disturb you!”
Blair’s tone sounded a little more exaggerated than his usual serious self in school.
He shut the door closed. “Tell me when you’re done.”
My face turned red in embarrassment as I tidied up my clothes. Rufus also helped fix my hair with a long face.
I gave him a gentle nudge. “Go open the door.”
“No.”
I planted a kiss on his chin. “Come on. Once Blair leaves, you can do whatever you want with me.”
Rufus squinted his eyes at me before pecking me on the lips. “Don’t go back on your word.”
He then stood up and opened the door.
“Oh, done so soon?” Blair walked in, with a light sneaker on his face. “Take it easy, Rufus. Sylvia just woke up.”
Rufus didn’t reply. Instead, he just sat down on the couch.
“Mr. Joshua,” I shyly greeted Blair.
He and I only saw each other in class. It was so strange to see him in private, especially when he was now acting totally different from the serious teacher I knew.
“We’re not at school. You don’t have to act that way around me here.” Blair shrugged, with a grin.
Rufus lifted his leg and kicked Blair’s shin impatiently. “Just get to the point. Have you gotten any results from the interrogation yet?”
Blair wiped the smile off his face and rubbed his nose. He sat on the couch opposite Rufus. “Kyle still denies Lucy’s involvement and insists to take all the blame.”
Rufus sneered. “What a Romeo.”
“What about the drug that Warren and I were given? Was Kyle also the one who drugged us that time?” I was confused. But I felt that something wasn’t right. Kyle just wanted to kill me. There was no point in giving me and Warren that drug if that was all he plotted for.
“Yeah, that part confuses me too.” Blair frowned. “When I asked Kyle about it, he didn’t admit to it. He didn’t even seem to know anything about it.”
“I already got my new uniform way before Warren, and I got drugged. In other words, Kyle’s plan to poison me to death was already in action, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to drug me with an aphrodisiac with Warren. If anything, that would just spoil his plan. Besides, there’s no bad blood between him and Warren as far as I know. He wouldn’t have a reason to do such thing to Warren.” I spoke out my thoughts, trying to consolidate the information I had at hand. The more I heard myself speak, the more I realized this might not have been as simple as I thought. It was not just Kyle and Lucy who were out for me.
“Right. And since he already admitted to putting poison on the school uniform, there’s no use for him to cover up another lie if he’s done anything else. Rufus chimed in.
Blair nodded in agreement. “Now, the problem is who would be so devious to drug you and Warren in broad daylight?”
“Did Warren say anything?” I asked. “I haven’t seen Warren since that day. I never got the chance to talk to him about it.”
“All Warren said was that he was attacked, but he didn’t know who did it.” Blair was at a disbelief. “Even though Warren’s fighting skills aren’t perfect, he’s still a strong fighter. To hear that someone had successfully attacked him is quite unexpected. I’d like to know who this person is.”
The person behind this seemed so hell-bent on getting me to sleep with Warren, which was very concerning. It was an outrageous plan. Warren and I didn’t even have anything to do with each other. The most probable reason for this would be to frame me and use the situation against me.
The only problem now was that we couldn’t figure out who would do such a thing to me.
That culprit knew where we were at that time. They were also strong enough to catch Warren off guard and attack him. Obviously, this culprit knew of me and Warren.
Somehow, Alina came to my mind. But like Alpha’s daughter, she shouldn’t be doing such dirty things.
But so far, I couldn’t think of anyone else suspicious besides her.
Alina’s POV
I still had no idea what happened in the equipment room that day.
Although I was able to set up a pinhole camera in the equipment room, I didn’t think it would be wise to go there and get it right now. It would alert the enemy.
Something big seemed to be happening that day. Both Rufus and Blair were there. They must have been investigating the whole thing now.
