Theo laughed. "There’s no use acting cute. You have to drink it."

U H

After being with him for so long, I knew he would relentlessly persuade me to drink the ginger juice if I refused to drink it now. He would only stop after I grew irritated by his persuasion.

Since I would still have to drink it, I might as well drink it now to save our breaths.

I sighed helplessly and took the glass from his hand. After pinching my nose, I downed the contents in a single gulp.

"Good girl.” Theo stroked my head with a smile.

I smacked his hand away and lay back down on the bed.

He did not disturb me this time and let me sleep.

However, as I felt physically and mentally unwell, I slept very soundly this time.

Theo had already gone to the office when I woke up the next morning. I read the note he left me and got out of bed to go downstairs.

Quinn and Cindy were still sleeping, so I ate my

breakfast before they got up and went back to my room to lie down again.

There was nothing much going on in the company, so I merely sorted out a few documents at home. I was on my period, so I rested for two days. This was the only way I could get it to stop hurting.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I received a phone call after a video conference but no one spoke. I thought it was a spam call, so I hung up and ignored it.

After about ten minutes, the same phone number called me again.

A spam call would not ring twice, so I picked it up this time and asked indifferently, "What do you want?"

"Miss Lane." It was a man, and his voice sounded a little familiar.

I looked down to ponder who it could be. "Lawrence?"

"I'm honored that you still remember me, Miss Lane." Lawrence's voice sounded weary. "Are you free now, Miss Lane? I'd like to meet up with you."

I frowned. "Are you in Whaldorf City?"

"Yes, I came here just to see you, Miss Lane."

I thought about it and replied, "Send me your location, then."

I would give Heidi a call to ask about it before I decided if I wanted to go.

After hanging up the call, I called Heidi.

The call was answered and I said, "Lawrence is in Whaldorf City. He wants to see me."

"Okay." Heidi smiled. "I think the police are hot on his trail, so he left Salt City in advance. He’s desperate to save his life but how are Petra and Grayson supposed t o save him when they can’t even take care of themselves? They might even send him to his doom sooner, so it's inevitable that he'd come to you."

I must admit that Heidi was really clever. She was a woman capable of doing big things.

Heidi continued to say, "In fact, he should have approached you immediately after Benny got into trouble but he chose to watch from the sidelines and see if things would become serious. That has cost him greatly. Everything will be over for him once the police find him and take him away."

I chuckled. "If I refuse to meet him, then all he can do i s surrender himself to the authorities."
