Chapter 325
Maja dialed Carol’s number, who picked up almost immediately.
“Carol, I’m in a pickle.”
Maja’s tone was tense, a clear sign something was off.
Carol immediately asked for her location and hit the road.
But the address sounded familiar, eerily similar to the one Felix had given her. Wait, were Maja and Félix at the same bar? She didn’t have time to ponder and barged into the booth only to find Maja covered in blood around her neck, a sight that made her jump.
“Maja!”
Maja barely lifted her head, relieved to see her friend, and dropped the broken bottle she had in her hand.
“Get me to a hospital.”
Carol was now visibly shaken.
“All right.”
She quickly removed her jacket and wrapped it around Maja’s neck to avoid drawing attention.
She knew this was not the time to ask what had happened, and they had to rush to the hospital.
As Carol helped Maja out of the booth, she spotted Felix carrying a tray in the main hall. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination playing tricks, but Felix seemed different.
But she didn’t have time to think about it. She quickly dialed his number.
“Felix, look to your left. I’m here.”
A surprised Felix looked up and locked eyes with Carol.
He instantly morphed back into his usual kind and innocent self, put down his tray, and hurried over.
“Carol, I thought you weren’t coming. What happened to your friend? Too much to drink?”
Carol was in a hurry and quickly grabbed his sleeve.
“Take us to the hospital first.”
Felix nodded and helped Maja.
Carol was sitting in the front and didn’t see the serious look oh Felix’s face.
Seeing the high–end luxury car outside the bar, Felix raised an eyebrow, pretending not to recognize the logo, and helped Maja into the car.
Carol, in her hurry, forgot to explain.
“Felix, you drive.”
Felix nodded, got into the driver’s seat, and after starting the car, he asked in a low voice, “Carol, is this your car? It seems different from the other cars, Nathan has a $50,000 car, but this one seems much better.”
Carol froze. She had driven her own car.
It was a limited–edition car worth a million dollars, and she had many such cars in her garage.
To avoid suspicion, she had to lie.
“This is Maja’s car, and her family is loaded; they own a company in Greenfield. The car Nathan drives was a gift from her.”
Carol felt a pang of guilt as she said this.
Nathan was already driving a $50,000 Mercedes, but her boyfriend was still e–biking to work, which made her feel guilty.
But the consequences could be severe if it got out and her father found out she had a boyfriend.
All in all, delay if it can be delayed.
“I see.”
Felix didn’t say anything else.
They arrived at the hospital soon. Thankfully, the wound on Maja’s neck was not serious. After some basic treatment and an IV drip, Maja finally felt fully awake.
Carol told Felix, “You took leave to be here; you should go back. I’ll stay with Maja.”
After Felix left, Carol sat down on a chair.
“What happened?”
Maja rubbed her temples, “I’m a bit tired, Carol. I’ll rest now, and we can talk later.”
Seeing her exhausted face, Carol nodded.
“You rest. I’ll wait for you here.”
“You go ahead. I’ll call you if need anything.”
Carol sighed, seeing Maja’s insistence, “All right, but you’ve got to promise to call me.”
Maja nodded and then closed her eyes in relief.
As Carol was getting on the elevator, she ran intc. Carlene and Dana Shepard, who were there for a checkup.
Dana had just gone through a horrifying experience and needed to get some antigen tests done immediately, and take PEP and contraceptives, to see if she had
contracted any diseases.
After all, who knows if the bodyguard–had been with anyone else
Carlene was the mastermind behind the whole thing, it was her idea to have Dana bribe the waiter, so she should bear joint liability for what happened to Dana.
But she didn’t care, she thought Dana should be grateful as long as she brought Dana to the hospital
Dana had been crying the whole time because it was her first time.
