To Grace's surprise, the female doctor looked shocked after examining the report. She turned to Grace and said, "Your friend's condition is not simply a fever. She has mild alcohol intoxication, and there are traces of drugs and a small amount of atropine in her blood. These are components of date rape drugs. It seems she has been excessively drinking and drugged!"
Hearing the doctor's words, Grace was also frightened. She remembered the look of Evelyn last night. She spoke weakly and acted very slowly. It turned out that she had been drugged!
She was angry and anxious, fearing that something would happen to Evelyn. She asked the doctor, "What should we do now? How do we treat her? Will her life be in danger?"
"Her life won't be in danger, but you're a little late. Let's wait until her fever has subsided and see what's going on before we come to a conclusion," The doctor was very neutral. She knew that the patient must have encountered something bad, so she comforted her, "Don't worry. Let's wait for her to wake up."
With a mind filled with chaos, Grace returned to the bedside. The more she thought about it, the angrier and more anxious she became. The image of Evelyn being mistreated made her heart race.
Just then, the phone, which she had put in her pocket, rang again.
However, this time it wasn't a call from Bert, but from another person, a man whom she was all too familiar with.
Huston?
Grace hesitated for a moment, considering whether to disclose Evelyn's illness to the person on the phone. However, she ultimately decided against it. It would be better to wait until Evelyn regained consciousness before sharing the details.
However, to Grace's surprise, as soon as the call connected, she heard a hoarse voice asking, "Did you stay at Grace's place last night?"
Last night.
The word reached Grace's ears very sensitively.
How did he know that Evelyn was at her place last night?
