Loveless Marriage

Looking at her, Christian said, "What are you suspecting?"

"I... Where's Minh?" She suddenly asked.

Minh was with her at that time. So he should know whether she really had a fever.

"Mr. Johnson went back to the company, and I had him ask for leave for you." Christian hugged her and sat down again, his low voice sounding extremely gentle, "If you're not feeling well, rest a bit, I will take care of the other matters, okay?"

Isabella's expression was solemn, as if she was still thinking of those things.

After a long while, she asked, "Did Hand and others know that you sent me to the hospital?"

"No. I want to see you so I came back, and didn't inform you in advance." Christian smiled warmly.

Every day he was in Leeds, he had been thinking how he could see her as soon as possible, and he rushed back right after he finished his work.

Isabella's heart warmed up. She couldn't hold the cold expression on her face any longer, and gently pushed him away, saying: "Why do I feel you're just like a ghost? Every time you appear by my side, nothing good happen. Could you stay away from me?"

Hearing this, Christian smiled: "Why don't you mention that I'm the one who saves you every time you're in danger? But you just put on a face without even thanking me."

Isabella was choked. Then she stared at him and asked: "Where's my phone?"

Christian said, "I've already called your family and company, so you don't need a phone. Now you can either rest, or I can take you to lunch."

Isabella immediately turned angry, and she coldly said: "Christian, who do you think you are? That's my phone, so give it back to me. I'm not eating with you, or rest here. I wanna go home."

She still hadn't figured out what was really going on last night. She believed in her intuition that this shouldn't be a simple dinner party. The dishes, hot tea... There must be a problem.

Although Christian didn't know anything, Minh definitely knew something. If she was really drugged last night, how could she recovered after just one night? She wasn't a three-year-old kid, and she knew those stuff always appearing in the workplace.

"Okay, I'll send you home." Christian looked very patient.

Isabella's face suddenly darkened, "Didn't you say I was having a fever?"

He'd forced her to stay in the hospital before when she had a fever.

"The fever is gone. If you don't want to stay here, you can go home and rest." Christian stared at her quietly.

Isabella looked at him with sharp eyes and spoke with a heavy voice. "You're lying. I didn't have a fever, did I? I was indeed drugged last night by someone.

"

Christian's eyes darkened. He pulled her tightly into his embrace once again, his thin lips pressing against her ear as he said in a low voice, "No matter what had happened, everything is okay now. I'll take care of other matters, and you don't need to worry about these things anymore."

Pursing her lips, Isabella felt extremely heavy in her heart.

So she was indeed drugged last night, and he knew it.

It was her very first time meeting that Jafari Hand. Even if he drugged her, how could she explain other things? There were few people knew that she was pregnant.

Her fingers clenched slightly as her expression became more complicated. "You must tell me no matter what you find out."

She had to admit that she had no other choice but to call the police when she encountered such a thing. However, they will go through too many procedures which takes a long time. She wasn't that patient. Christian smiled, "Sure."

"Can you let go of me now?" Isabella clenched her teeth.

Then she suddenly thought of something, and became a bit awkward. "Last night...when you brought me to the hospital... did I do anything to you?"

Although she haven't seen that drug, she'd heard of it before and knew that people wouldn't remember what they've done after they woke up.

Christian released her with a smile, "You don't remember?"

Isabella's face flushed. She then stuttered while looking at him: "Remember what? When I fainted, I was with Minh... I, I just wanted to ask if I did anything to him, since we're colleagues..."

As for Minh, she could ask him later on. She didn't feel it embarrassing with that young man.

Christian's face darkened as he stared at her expressionlessly, "Aren't you even afraid he might have done something to you?"

"He won't do it." Isabella refuted without even thinking.

Hearing this, Christian's face turned even colder. With a mocking smile, he said, "Seems that you're pretty confident in him."

What would have happened if he hadn't called her?

He lowered his head as to cover the thick darkness in his eyes.

Isabella bit her lips, angrily saying, "He knows I'm pregnant, so what can he do? He'd have definitely sent me to the hospital even if you didn't." Christian pinched her lower jaw, his black eyes staring at her small face, "What if I didn't send you to the hospital last night? Would you be mad at me today?"

Isabella's face turned more crimson. She lightly bit her lips and glared at him.

Christian looked at her soft and tender face in front of him, his Adam's apple rolling down his throat. He then lowered his head and muttered, "Will you?" Seeing that he suddenly approach, she became even more anxious and pushed him away fiercely, "I need to go to the toilet."

She turned around and immediately ran away.

Would she be mad? She actually didn't know.

Then why did he send her here? Was he afraid that she would be mad, or that he was concerned about the babies?

Actually, it'd been four months, so it wasn't that dangerous... Ah...What was she even thinking about?

Watching her figure disappear, Christian's face gradually darkened. The coldness in his eyes was bone-chilling.

He took out his phone and dialled a number.

"How is it, Canon?"

"The drug Miss Jones used are the same as the one commonly used in the nightclubs. They are not available commercially, but they can be found through other ways. However, among those people, only Hand frequently goes into clubs, who also stayed with Miss Jones for the most of the time last night."

Christian frowned and went silent for a few seconds, then said coldly, "Okay I understand. There is one more thing. Did you see that Minh Johnson last time when you went to Liverpool with her?" Canon, "Yes."

Christian narrowed his eyes, "Continue investigating the car accident, and... also investigate that Minh by the way.

"

"Sure, Mr. Miller."
