Chapter 248
This time, the Sinclairs ran into someone that couldn’t be trified with!
Thaddeus immediately called Orion, “Just found out, they’re Susanna’s bodyguards. They’ve got some beef with Lemon, which explains why they drugged her.”
“Got it. Take care of those two bodyguards.”
Since the bodyguards had seen him, there was no reason to let them go.
After hanging up, Orion turned to look at the girl lying on the hotel bed, his gaze unfathomable. Lemira’s hands were tightly clutching the sheets, sweat dotting her forehead.
Orion’s icy gaze shifted to the family doctor standing nearby, “What’s the situation? Can’t you see she’s suffering?”
Mr. Everhart, the lady was exposed to a new substance from the bar. I’ve administered an antidote, but I can’t guarantee its
fectiveness. The drug works quickly since it was inhaled, and we’ve already lost a lot of time.”
Orion’s lips pressed into a cold line, “Will it have any side effects on her health?”
“Once the drug wears off, she’ll be fine. But until then, it’s best if someone keeps an eye on her.”
“Leave us. And remember, nobody hears about your visit here today?
The doctor nodded hastily, grabbed his medical kit, and left.
Orion walked over to Lemira, and touched her forehead, feeling the warmth. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “Want some water?” Lemira snuggled closer to his hand instead. In a daze, she wrapped her arms around his waist, “Your body’s so cool.”
Orion, looking at the girl moving closer, felt his gaze darken even more. He pried Lemira’s hands off him, “I’ll get you some water. He fetched a glass of ice water from the fridge. When he returned to the bedside, he noticed Lemira’s bare arms outside the blanket, her dress discarded on the floor
At the sight of this, Onon’s gaze deepened further. He approached Lemira, “Come on, drink some water.”
But Lemira’s body was limp, devoid of any strength. Onion had no choice but to hold her in his arms, struggling to keep the blanket around her as it slipped down
His face was tinged with agitation, “Stop moving?”
He secured Lemira in his arms, unscrewed the bottle cap, and helped her sip the water.
After a few gulps, Lemira choked, pulling at the blanket in irritation, “It’s so hot.”
Onion, feeling a vein throb in his temple, held her hand still. His voice was hoarse, “Stop moving, or you’ll reveal too much!”
“But I’m really hot. Feel it if you don’t believe me *
Lemira grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest, looking up at him with her bright eyes.
Orion froze completely, sweat beading on his nose, his throat moving as he swallowed.
Her skin was burning to the touch. Her heart was racing.
Looking down, Orion gazed at her, his voice extremely husky, “Lemira, do you know what you’re doing?”
any others.
They were so close, his gaze intense. He felt his mouth go dry, the sensation was familiar. After all, he was a man like Lemira wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips to his. Her technique was terrible, almost like she was nibbling on him. Orion held her chin, his gaze profound and dangerous, “Lemira, snap out of it. Look clearly at who I am!”
“I know who you are!” Lemira held his face earnestly, “If I have to choose someone, I’d rather it be you.” Orion felt as if a string had totally snapped inside him. His rationality seemed to crumble.
