Divorce Has Never Felt This Good (Becky and Rory) novel Chapter 29

Becky’s mouth twitched and she dug her fingernails into her palms to sober up. Then, she picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it against the head of one of the two men.

She moved so fast and it used up all her strength. Her victim collapsed to the floor in a heap, wailing in agony. Just then, the door was violently kicked open.

Jessie and Fred rushed in. “Becky?”

“Jessie?”

Becky was clutching onto the last embers of her consciousness. Looking at Becky’s unfocused eyes, Jessie was so worried that her body started to tremble. “It’s me. What happened to you?”

“I was drugged…”

When Jessie reached out to support Becky, she found that the latter was burning hot.

Jessie turned around and said urgently, “Fred, we have to take Becky to the hospital!”

Fred immediately sprang into action and scooped Becky up into his arms. She was about to pass out completely. Looking blearily at Fred, she felt that her body was about to be torn apart.

Talia was startled when Becky was carried out. She hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with Miss Ramos?”

“She was drugged. We have to take her to the hospital. You—”

“Don’t worry. Someone’s already on the way here. I’ll take care of it. Please send Miss Ramos to the hospital first!”

Talia was determined to find out what had happened tonight.

Jessie nodded. In a low voice, she added, “Be careful.”

Becky was in a bad shape. She kept clawing at Fred’s clothes, nearly ripping them off of him.

Without a moment to lose, Jessie got in the car and slammed her foot against the gas, speeding all the way to the nearest hospital.

After getting hooked onto a bottle of glucose infusion, Becky gradually sobered up.

Now that the drug had worn off, she felt frail. She turned to Jessie, who was sitting next to her, and asked weakly, “What time is it?”

“It’s past two o’clock. How are you? Are you feeling any better?” Jessie asked worriedly.

Becky nodded and sat up in bed. Jessie promptly handed her a glass of water, from which she feebly took a sip.

Seeing her like this, Jessie was very distressed. “Get some sleep, Becky. Don’t worry. You’re in good hands now.”

Becky indeed found it hard to stay awake. She took one last look at Fred and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
