"She had a heart attack. Fortunately, you sent her here in time. But she needs to stay here for a day, just in case.”

Then, the doctor left.

The nurse pushed Taryn into the ward.

Franklin said to Sylvia, "Sweetie, go back home. I will stay here and take care of her."

"It's okay. I want to be here.”

Sylvia shook her head. "You are my boyfriend now and we are in a relationship. I really don't like leaving you alone in the same room with another woman even if she's your sister.”

Her words were overbearing.

But Franklin loved to hear them.

It felt good to have someone who cared about him.

He loved it.

He took Sylvia's hand, looked at her incredibly beautiful small face, and could not help smiling, "Okay. Let's stay here together."

It was late at night.

But Poppy lay down in the hotel bed and couldn't fall asleep at all. She was the daughter of the Maskelyne family and she was almost kidnapped. Moreover, she couldn't get through to Franklin these days while her other brother was just an intern in the Maskelyne Group. She carefully recalled many times and was sure there was something wrong with the water.

It was right after drinking the water that she felt uncomfortable in her throat and hot all over.

Then, she passed out at night.

So, did anyone put drugs in it?

The fear that day, she never wanted to experience again. She must find out who put the drugs in the water!

Just then, her room door was suddenly pushed open. Poppy felt nervous and lay still in bed without moving. Who was it? Who would come here in the middle of the night with her room card?

The person walked to the bed.

It seemed to be a woman.

She stood by the bed, and silently stared at Poppy, murmuring after finding out that Poppy seemed to be asleep.

"Why don't you have any sequelae after taking the drug? How exactly does it work?"

Her voice was strange to Poppy, who dared not open her eyes. She felt nervous all over.

The woman whispered, "I wanted to know what symptoms you have after taking the drug. You looked so normal in the day.”

"Forget it, I should leave first."

With that, the woman carefully moved toward the door.

Poppy did not dare to open her eyes until the woman closed the door. She sat up in bed.

Almost the next second, she ran to the door of the room and locked it up.

After that, she immediately called Eden.

"Are you crazy? Why did you call me in the middle of the night?" Eden was sleeping soundly when his phone rang.

He shouted at Poppy unhappily.

"Eden, a woman snuck into my room just now!"

"What? Wait for me!"

The phone was then hung up.

A minute later, someone knocked at the door.

Poppy looked out of the cat's eyes and saw Eden before she opened the door.

When she saw Eden, her nervousness and fear were finally relieved. "Don't be afraid.”

Eden saw her and immediately calmed her, "What happened exactly?" After listening to Poppy's words, he frowned. "It seems that the person who put the drugs in the water doesn't know what effects it has, so she came to check it."

He suddenly thought of something and his eyes were fixed on Poppy, "Have you felt anything strange recently?"

Poppy's face was slightly red.

Her heart raced being stared at by such a handsome man.

She almost felt out of breath.

She was somewhat afraid to look into his eyes and lowered her head. "Don't get so close to me."

Eden was a little confused and got even closer to her, close enough that he could see her skin pores. "What did you say?"

Forget it!

Poppy quietly moved back. She could almost feel Eden's hot breath. Why did he get so close to her?

Didn't he know how handsome he was?

His being so close to her made her heart race.

When she first became Eden's assistant, she didn't feel how particularly handsome Eden was. After all, she had two extremely handsome brothers.

But ever since Eden saved her, she found that being too close to him would make it hard for her to breathe.

Was it because of the drugs in the water that she had developed chemistry for Eden?

"Poppy, I'm asking you a question. Have you felt something wrong with your body?" Eden couldn't help urging her.

Was she still in shock from the trespassing?

"I... My heart is beating fast, and I... My face is burning, my whole body is burning. It feels weird.” Poppy was sure it must be because of the drugs.

She fanned her face with her hands.

"What should we do? I will ask for a day's leave for you," Eden said after thinking for a while.

“I... I can work." If he didn't get this close to her.

Poppy didn't say the words out.

But she felt uneasy. What was the drug? Who put it in the water? These questions haunted her.

In the Wright Residence.

"Brayden, ask Sibbie if the scars on Jenna's face could be removed," Mrs. Wright said in a low voice, "I know the doctor we saw last time has said there's no cure, I just wanted to try."

"Okay. I will ask her." Brayden glanced upstairs and made sure Jenna wasn't there before he said, "Mom, I think Jenna knows the Carsons. I have investigated something.”

“The Carson family?" Mrs. Wright frowned. "I heard that the Carsons had adopted a girl who was brought back by Aldo. Everyone said that Aldo bought her and wanted to raise her to be his future wife. How could Jenna know the Carsons?"

Mrs. Wright didn't believe it at all.

"Mom, I think Jenna's the girl."

Mrs. Wright's face changed. "You mean... Jenna's the adopted girl?" Brayden had thought that Mrs. Wright would think little of Jenna or say some harsh words.
