Chapter 10 Help Her Apply Medicine

"The drug is colorless, tasteless, and takes effect quickly, but it is also metabolized quickly. She didn't take much, and it will be completely excreted from her body in about 5 hours. We have applied a topical medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis on her sprained ankle. She will recover soon if she rests for a few days and ice it on time. Just let her stay here tonight for observation, so we can see if she still feels unwell when she wakes up tomorrow morning." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

In fact, Angelina could be discharged and go home to rest right away. After all, she didn't take many drugs, and it did not cause much harm to her body. It was just that she had a sprained ankle.

But Leon rarely saw Keith be so concerned about a person, and it was already late, so Leon helped with the hospitalization procedures.

After hesitating for a while, Leon asked, "I don't think you would play such a dirty trick. Or, have you changed during the long time when we haven't seen other?"

Keith looked away from the hospital bed and glared at him. "Make an appointment with a neurologist for yourself tomorrow morning."

Leon was speechless and took out the medical record book. "Fine. I'll go on rounds and get out of your hair."

When everything settled down, it was almost dawn.

Jackson rushed to the hospital after making arrangements at the Night Siren. After all, the incident started because of him, and he had to come and have a look.

As soon as he reached the door of the ward, he ran into Niles. "Where is Mr. Fuller?"

Niles was a little surprised but quickly answered, "Mr. Fuller is in the living room of the ward because he's afraid of disturbing Miss Jefferson."

Somehow, Jackson took a deep breath.

It was rumored that Keith, the head of the Fuller family, was ruthless, decisive, celibate, and self- restrained. But now, his persona had completely collapsed.

After entering, Jackson sat beside Keith and placed two fingers on the table.

Then, he bent his two fingers with a snap, as if they were kneeling.

"Those idiots actually thought that I wanted to pursue Miss Jefferson but failed, so they wanted to help me and give me a surprise so that they could achieve further cooperation with me more easily. They are really out of their mind. Is there anyone I can't get in the world? They should use their brains," complained Jackson.

Keith's face remained unchanged when he heard the first few sentences.

However, as soon as Jackson finished the last sentence, he felt Keith's chilling gaze.

Jackson wondered, "Huh? Why is he angry?"

Upon careful recollection, he realized that the sentence "Is there anyone I can't get in the world?" seemed a little inappropriate.

With another snap, Jackson bent two fingers of his other hand.

"Sorry! It was my bad. I shouldn't have failed the mission and caused trouble for Miss Jefferson. I shouldn't have deluded myself into thinking that I could win the heart of the stunning Miss Jefferson.

So, to make up for it, I checked and found out which play Miss Jefferson wants to audition for. Do you want to hear it?"

Keith wasn't really angry, and he responded calmly, "Go ahead."

Jackson could finally withdraw his four pitiful fingers, and he said, "Miss Jefferson is auditioning for the role of the third female lead in The Old Palace. It's a play that Frank is preparing for. Although you have been abroad over the years, you should have heard of Director Gates, the nationally famous director who made a comeback after a ten-year absence. He's a remarkable bigwig, but he has a strange temper and looks down on actors who like to play tricks."

Keith's tone was low and slow as he asked, "How much did Ivan invest?"

Jackson was taken aback for a moment and asked, "What?"

The next second, Keith said, "I will invest three times more than Ivan's investment to give her the role she wants."

Generally speaking, nobody would invest something with a few times another investor's amount. If Keith made such a big investment, he might not be able to make a profit for a long time.

However, the big shot did not care about money, and he just wanted to help his dream girl fulfill her wish.

Jackson remarked, "Impressive."

He politely asked, "Shall I go to meet Director Gates and help you talk about cooperation?"

Keith responded with a nod and said, "Thank you so much!"

Jackson complained, "You really don't stand on ceremony."

Inwardly, Jackson said, "But it's quite good. At least, I have a reason to get in touch with Miss Jefferson. Judging from Mr. Fuller's attitude, I'm afraid he won't give up until he gets her. Of course, I should see how things will unfold with my own eyes."

...

The next day, Angelina woke up in pain, as if she had been beaten up. Her ankles hurt, and she had a headache.

The ward was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant. The moment she struggled to open her eyes, she saw the pure white ceiling.

She wondered, "I was at Night Siren last night, wasn't I? It seemed that I accidentally drank the beverage Mr. Chanderson offered. I can't remember what happened later, except that I hid in the restroom and texted Janet."

When Leon was preparing to go off duty, he came to check on Angelina's room and found that she was already awake. He asked, "Miss Jefferson, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Angelina blinked and inquired in a confused tone, "Is this a hospital?"

Leon had felt that Angelina was quite familiar yesterday, but Angelina had fainted, and he was too focused on the shocking news of Keith's falling in love to pay much attention to her face.

Now Leon realized that the woman in front of him was Angelina, who was known as the top stunner in the entertainment industry.

Angelina glanced at his work badge and called out, "Dr. Sullen?"

Leon snapped out of his daze and replied, "Yes, you're at the hospital but don't worry, aside from the ankle injury that needs a few days of rest, there's nothing serious."

Angelina nodded. "Oh, then where's Janet, the one who brought me here?"

Leon was a bit stunned and chuckled. "It was actually Mr. Fuller who brought you here last night."

Angelina wondered, "Mr. Fuller? Is he referring to my fiance "Ishmael? How could it be possible?"

Noticing Angelina's frown, Leon asked curiously, "What's wrong? Don't you want Mr. Fuller to bring you to the hospital?"

Hearing Leon keep calling that person Mr. Fuller, Angelina didn't make any comments and just replied evasively, "How would I?"

Leon didn't point it out and just found it amusing.

He thought to himself, "Oh my! It's really rare to see Keith being disliked by someone. Countless women have thrown themselves at him in the past. I really don't understand why they're so crazy about him. Isn't it just because he's handsome, rich, and has an eight-pack? Only Miss Jefferson's attitude is normal."

After the small talk, Leon remembered that he was a doctor and asked, "Aside from your ankle, do you feel unwell anywhere else?"

Angelina responded, "I seem to have lost my memory and don't remember what happened last night."

Hearing this, Leon found it a bit strange. "The drug you took isn't harmful to your body, but it can cause deep sleep and contains a certain amount of hormones, so it's normal to forget what happened after waking up. But you seemed to be conscious for a while before you arrived at the hospital and fell into a deep sleep."

Angelina wondered, "Deep sleep? I vaguely heard Might Keith's voice yesterday. It must have been a dream or hallucination, right?"

Leon took out his medical record book. "I'll help you apply the medicine. Remember to ice it later."

Angelina really wanted to know what her "fiancé" thought of her, whether he disliked her flirtation and was planning to cancel the engagement.

Therefore, she said, "Can you ask Mr. Fuller to come and help me apply the medicine?"
