Once they were at the hospital, Steffan restrained the storm that was brewing in his heart and told the doctor what had happened.
The doctor was a professional indeed and was quick to grasp the overall situation.
Humans and their sly tricks. Just to be on the safe side, the doctor ordered the nurse to take Belle's blood sample to run some tests. The results confirmed his suspicions, and he prescribed some medicine accordingly.
"Don't worry. She consumed something laced with sedatives, but I've given her an antidote. She'll wake up soon with no side effects," said the doctor before heading out of the room.
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Steffan finally let out a sigh of relief.
After the doctor left, Steffan's face turned cold and stony.
Sedatives? Steffan fumed to himself.
Melvin, you dirty dog! You hateful person!
He narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
Soon after, he received a phone call. After covering Belle with a quilt, he walked out.
In the blink of an eye, his car disappeared into the night.
It was busy and noisy at Srirano's largest hospital. Steffan walked along the corridor and waited for the noise in one of the wards to subside before he proceeded to walk in.
Melvin suffered a great loss this time!
Two of his front teeth were knocked out, and his handsome face was swollen like a steamed bun. His features were completely distorted and his nose was crooked from Calvin's iron-like punch. His appearance was simply unbearable to look at!
Steffan moved closer to him.
The nurse was wiping Melvin's face with disinfecting cotton swabs. Even so, he did not forget to touch the nurse's small hand from time to time, whining while his eyes flashed with desire.
He was completely unaware of Steffan's presence until Steffan approached him with an icy expression. Even though he couldn't see the man in front of him clearly, he trembled in fright and instinctively raised his hands in a protective gesture around his head, screaming, "Don't hit me! I didn't do anything!"
A sneer played on Steffan's lips, and he signaled for the nurse to leave the two of them alone.
"If you really did do something, do you think that you'd still be alive right now?" He reached out and grabbed Melvin's collar, growling in a low voice. Slowly, he raised his fist.
Melvin covered his face with both hands and started to beg for mercy. "Please spare my life, sir. Please stop hitting me. What's there to discuss? It was all my fault. I won't do it again." Calvin's beating had scared him stiff.
"Again?" As soon as Steffan heard this, anger coursed through his heart. He raised his fist and gnashed his teeth.
"I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not!" Melvin realized his blunder and hurriedly attempted to explain himself.
"Hmph, what a p*ssy." He gazed at Melvin and gave a snort of derision. Sneering contemptuously, he said, "Listen carefully. You can't go around touching every woman as you please in this world. They are not objects for the satisfaction of your desire. You'd do well to remember that."
With a sad face, Melvin nodded without saying a word, admitting his bad luck.
"Apologize to Miss Lexantra now. Hurry up."
He lowered his fist and slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket. Opening the video calling app, he aimed the camera at Melvin.
Melvin has been scared out of his wits. His hands were still covering his face, and his eyes were so swollen that they were only thin slits.
"Quick!" Steffan ordered in a stern and low voice.
A shiver ran down Melvin's spine and he raised his head. When he looked up, he found that the man standing in front of him was not the man who had taught him a lesson the previous night. It was Steffan Yintern.
Steffan was Miss Lexantra's boyfriend. He had already known this when he met Belle the previous night.
So, what was the beating last night all about? Melvin wondered to himself. Here was Belle's boyfriend standing in front of him right now. This man had the full right to settle the score with him.
Melvin had always lived as he pleased, going around having casual flings. He never thought that he would meet his downfall at Srirano.
He had never encountered such an unlucky situation before. This time, he had fallen to the lowest point in his life.
