Chapter 67
Zane thought that if he did not go to see Lianne, others would not be able to see his concern for her.
When Dr. Leah arrived yesterday, Lianne had fallen unconscious in her arms. So, she hurriedly fed
Lianne the medicine
However, Lianne was extremely guarded and had her teeth clenched tightly even when unconscious.
Dr. Leah could not get Lianne to take the antidote no matter what she tried.
In the end, Zane, who was also in dire straits, called Lianne’s name and coaxed her softly. Finally,
Lianne unclenched her teeth.
At this moment, Dr. Leah recalled Zane’s eyes when he noticed the wounds on Lianne’s arm. She
could not help but shudder at that thought.
Dr. Leah had been working for Zane for so many years. Once, Zane was drugged and almost lost his
life. Even so, Zane still looked calm. Dr. Leah had never seen him like this before.
“Dr. Leah, where are we?” Lianne finally noticed that she was in a completely unfamiliar room. The
room was large and minimally decorated. It did not look like people stayed in this room often.
Dr. Leah replied, “This is another house that Zane owns in HC Manors.”
“Has Mr. Atlas gone to the office?” Lianne recalled that it was Tuesday. “Oh, no! I have to accompany
him to sign a contract…”
Lianne turned over and was about to get out of bed, but Dr. Leah held her down in time. “It’s already
late at night. What’s there to sign at this hour? You should take good care of your body and leave the
rest for when you recover.”
Lianne did not want to trouble people. “I’m fine…”
“Why don’t you get up and jump a few times to see if you’re alright?” Dr. Leah was really helpless
because of this stubborn duo. “Let me check the wounds on your arm first.”
Last night, Dr. Leah applied medicine to the wound on Lianne’s arm. As Lianne was young and had a
fast metabolism, the wounds had already scabbed over. “I’ll give you another round of medicine.
Remember to apply it every day so there won’t be a scar.”
Lianne nodded. “Okay.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Dr. Leah put away the medicine box. “Alright. I’ll get you some food first. Come out to eat once you’ve
washed up.”
As soon as Dr. Leah left, Lianne immediately found her bag and took out two phones.
Lianne checked her work phone first. While there was not a single call to her work number, there were
many missed calls on her personal phone.
They were all from Sierra and Tyler. Lianne immediately called them back, and they quickly picked
1.
Tyler yelled, “Gummy, where did you go? Why didn’t you answer the phone? Do you know how
worried we’ve been?!”
Lianne did not want them to worry, so she made up a small lie. “I drank too much last night and stayed
in the hotel. I was busy with work during the day, so I didn’t have time to answer your calls.”
Sierra kept talking. “Your exploiter boss is enslaving you! It’s already 9:00 pm. Where are you now?
We’ll pick you up.”
Lianne replied, “I’m near HC Manors.”
Tyler said, “Find a cafe and wait for us there. Don’t run around. We’ll go over now.”
“Okay.” After hanging up the phone, Lianne dragged her limp body to the bathroom, washed up briefly,
and changed into her work clothes.
Since Dr. Leah had already washed her work clothes, they were clean.
After tidying up, Lianne walked out of the room and went to the living room. Unexpectedly, Zane was
also there. He was holding a tablet and seemed to be reading documents.
“Mr. Atlas…” Lianne greeted him, and he hummed without looking up.
Dr. Leah gave Lianne a bowl of chicken noodle soup. “Why did you change your clothes?”
Lianne smiled. “My friend is coming to pick me up.
Dr. Leah subconsciously looked at Zane…
