Chapter 428: Chapter 428

Joseph said, “You didn’t do it wrongly.

It’s this poison that comes and goes fiercely.

It will dissipate quickly and he will wake up automatically.” This kind of drug could only be found in the likes.

of black markets, commonly known as roofies.

Once it got into a person’s system, one would quickly faint.

Following that, one’s pulse would weaken, and one’s pupils would dilate as if they were dead.

After that, the knocked-out person would fall asleep for a period of time.

Different individuals would mostly fall asleep for an hour or two.

After the effects of the medicine dissipated, one would wake up.

Other than feeling exhausted, there was no other discomfort.

Most of the tests in the hospital could not detect it.

“Will he be fine once the effects wear out?” Mina asked with concern.

Joseph nodded.

“Yes.” Mina heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s good.” She was almost scared to death.

At this moment, Joseph’s phone rang.

Joseph picked up.

James’s tone was a little anxious over the phone.

He asked him to immediately go to the fourth floor to save someone.

The patient’s heart was injured and he was in danger.

Joseph’s expression changed when he heard that.

He immediately instructed Mina, “Guard Mr. Blake.

I have something else to do.” Joseph quickly went to the fourth floor.

Afraid that something would happen to Mina, he asked James to send two people down to protect her.

James’s people worked very fast.

Two of them immediately came down to help Preston to Mina’s room.

Preston lay on the bed as if he was dead.

Mina was bored out of her mind.

She rested her chin on her hands and waited for Preston to wake up.

On the other side.

Joseph rushed to James’s suite.

Preston’s bodyguard was lying on the bed.

The bleeding on the wounds on his body had already been forcefully staunched by James’ men with gauze and bandages, but they did not do much.

Blood was still oozing out.

The gauze and bed were covered in blood, making the scene look shocking.

Joseph came over to take the bodyguard’s pulse.

As soon as he took his pulse, his expression turned solemn.

“Joseph, how is it?” James asked solemnly.

Joseph sighed.

“He lost too much blood and his injuries are too serious.

He might not be able to be saved.

We can only do our best.” James fell silent.

It felt like a storm was coming.

After a long while, he said coldly, “I won’t let anyone off for causing trouble at Anna’s wedding!” Joseph was already focused on saving the man through acupuncture.

At the changing room.

Julian helped Annalise change in the bride’s dressing room.

Annalise changed into a small dress.

She wanted to continue wearing high heels, but Julian refused.

He took out a pair of flat-heeled soft-soled shoes for her to wear.

“Wear this.” “But it would make this dress looks so strange,” Annalise said.

Julian smiled gently.

“It doesn’t matter.

My wife looks good in anything.

Everything she wears is fashionable.” “I want to wear those high heels,” Annalise said.

Julian advised, “We’ll have to go around when we toast later.

There are many guests around, so it will take a longer time.

Your feet will hurt.

Come, let’s wear this instead.

It’s more comfortable.” “Alright,” Annalise replied.

Julian helped her sit down.

He knelt on one knee and personally helped her change her shoes.

Annalise looked down at the man who was helping her put on her shoes.

She smiled and reached out to touch Julian’s head.

Julian looked up, his eyes filled with eagerness.

“Honey, stop fooling around!” His voice became hoarse.

There was no telling how uncomfortable he had been during this period of time.

He hung up a calendar in the study and ticked off every day to count down.

“Haha!” Annalise laughed evilly.

She liked to see him so eager yet having to hold himself in.

Julian looked at his beloved wife helplessly and smiled.

“Be good, stop fooling around.” He lowered his head and focused on putting on Annalise’s shoes.

He even pinched them to see if they fit.

Annalise looked at Julian’s hand and warmth spread throughout her body “What is happiness?

“Happiness is that the person you like also likes you back.” “It is the person you like, is with you.” She thought.

She felt that the heavens were really good to her.

Family, love, everything, they gave her the best.

“Anna!” Trevor suddenly rushed in with a worried expression.

“Trevor, what’s wrong?” Annalise looked at Trevor in surprise.

Julian also looked at Trevor.

“I’m fine.

I just saw that you guys haven’t come out for a long time and thought that something had happened to you.” Seeing that Anna was fine, Trevor heaved a sigh of relief.

Just now, his men had noticed bloodstains in the adjacent locker room and the smell of fire.

He’d been startled.

It was good that Anna was fine.

As for what exactly happened, he had already arranged for someone to investigate.

At the wedding banquet hall.

Jared put down the bowl, got up, and walked towards the changing room.

When Layla saw this, she stood up and said to Tony, “Darling, can you come with me to the washroom?” To witness Julian’s murder, he had to drag Tony along.

“Okay.” Tony got up.

Seeing that Layla’s skirt was long, he even reached out to help her lift it.

Layla smiled gently at Tony.

“Darling, you’re the best.” Tony’s lips curled up.

“So, you have to treat me better too.

Don’t just focus on your work.” “Let’s hold on for another three months.

After these three months, we can live a life of retirement.

We’ll travel around the world.” Layla smiled and held Tony’s hand.

The two of them walked towards the washroom.

The washroom happened to pass by the changing room.

Before she reached the changing room, she saw Julian walking out with her arm around Annalise’s waist.

Annalise was wearing a red cocktail dress.

She looked petite and exquisite.

Bodyguards were seen behind them.

Jared was speechless, wondering what was going on and if Julian found out.

He also wondered where were his people.

Layla was confused.

She immediately looked at Jared.

Jared frowned.

He didn’t know what was going on either.

“Mr. Blake!” Julian nodded slightly at Jared, then walked past him with Annalise.

After Julian and his wife left, Jared quickly rushed to the changing room at the side.

This was a temporary changing room.

There were not many, only four changing rooms in total.

He rushed inside one by one.

He saw that there was still a trace of blood in the changing room that had not been cleaned up.

There was also a burnt smell.

There was a waitress cleaning inside.

Seeing Jared, the waitress looked up at him.

“Sir, what’s the matter?” “When did you get here?” Jared asked.

“Just now.

What’s wrong?” “What did you see when you came in?” Jared asked.

“I didn’t see anything.

Why?” “It’s fine.” Jared quickly left.

As soon as Jared left, the waitress narrowed her eyes and reached out to take off the miniature camera on the wall.

It was Trevor who arranged for her to come over and ambush the man.

Unexpectedly, the trick worked.

Jared left the changing room and continued to contact his people.

There was no response.

He looked around.

The cruise ship was really too big.

There were not many people in the changing rooms, but the banquet hall was filled with heads, so it was impossible to find who he was looking for.

He did not know where they had gone.

When Layla saw Jared leave in a hurry, her eyes flashed.

She held Tony’s arm and went to the washroom.

She pretended that nothing had happened.

She cursed Jared in her heart for being useless.

She was also secretly glad that she did not stand up for him.

Even if the matter was exposed, it would have nothing to do with her.

She still arranged for someone to take out Annalise’s child.

It was more reliable that way.

Whoosh.
