Chapter 305
“Alright, listen to this…” Randal was taken aback when this assistant dared to talk back to him, and his temper flared up instantly.
He strode over to Gracie, just as he was about to talk, the closed door suddenly opened.
Seeing Astrid appear in the doorway, Randal immediately pointed at her and said, “I told you she is incompetent, right? Look, Bernice is still lying there, she…”
Before Randal could finish his sentence, Astrid stepped forward and quickly shoved something into his mouth.
“Mmm…” A bitter and spicy taste filled his mouth, and then Randal was horrified to find that he couldn’t speak!
His throat felt like it was on fire, and Randal turned to look at Astrid.
Astrid winked at him, “Oh, Randal, why don’t you continue talking?”
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that this pill is from the black market. There is no information about its production date, place of origin, or manufacturer. I have no idea what side effects it might have.”
“The person who sold it to me said it’s for noisy and brainless people. The more nonsense they talk, the faster their tongue rots!”
Hearing this, Randal was scared to tears.and ran to find Dr. Eaton.
Dr. Eaton couldn’t do anything, so he ran back to beg Astrid.
Astrid leaned against the door with her arms folded and a smirk on her face, “Randal, are you begging me? No, I can’t handle that. Who is Astrid? Just a shameless woman. Why are you afraid of me?” Randal couldn’t believe Astrid had heard those words, and he felt incredibly guilty..
He tried to open his mouth, but he couldn’t make a sound, his tongue began to sting as if it was about to rot at any moment.
Gaines stepped forward and said: “Astrid, it’s true that he said something wrong, but since I’ve worked with him for so many years, I hope you can give him a chance.”
Being in the film industry for many years, Gaines had an eye for things that most people didn’t.
He had seen the famous Dr. Keen respect Astrid in the hotel, so he knew Astrid was no an ordinary person.
“Randal has freedom of speech, let him speak. Gracie, go get the megaphone from my room so Randal can express himself!” After Astrid finished speaking, Gracie immediately ran back to her room.
In no time, Gracie came back with a small megaphone and handed it to Randal, “Here, speak your mind. If you don’t speak up now, you won’t get the antidote, and once your tongue rots, there’s no saving it. We don’t even know when the roadblock will be lifted.”
Looking at Randal, Gracie felt a great sense of satisfaction.
“…ah, ah…” Randal couldn’t speak, but he didn’t dare not to, so he just kept making noises.
Astrid turned and went back into the room. She saw that Bernice’s complexion was much better, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
About half an hour later, Bernice slowly woke up, “Star…”
“Don’t move. Have a good rest.” Astrid stopped Bernice’s attempt to get up and covered her with the blanket.
Bernice reached out and gently grabbed Astrid’s hand. Her eyes filled with tears, “Star, I’m sorry…”
Sorry?
