Archie said in a deep voice, "It's alright. Fetch me a basin of hot water over."
Mrs. Dottie hurriedly responded, "Okay."
After carrying Natalia back to the bedroom, Mrs. Dottie had also brought in the water.
Archie told her to leave them in the room, then wrung a hot towel and wiped Natalia's face, hands and body.
After some examination, Natalia was still unconscious, but she didn't seem to have suffered any injuries.
Archie breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, Brian came over with the doctor.
After some examination, it was found that there was nothing serious. Although she had been drugged, the drug was not strong, nor was it the particularly vicious kind.
After all, the Dawson family was quite a decent background. So naturally, they wouldn't keep some vile stuff at home.
The doctor gave Natalia a shot of antidote and reduced her fever before she left.
Brian had been waiting in the living room downstairs. After Archie made sure Natalia was alright, he covered her with a blanket and went downstairs.
"Did you find out what happened at the Dawson Mansion tonight?"
Brian looked embarrassed when Archie mentioned this.
He glanced at Archie and said in a deep voice, "The drug was given to Mrs. McCarthy by the old Mrs. Dawson because..."
Brian told Archie everything that had happened in the Dawson Mansion tonight.
Archie's face became even darker and gloomier after hearing the whole incident.
"Mr. McCarthy, everyone from the Dawson family was present tonight including her father, but they still did this to her. Do you think we should..."
Archie sneered.
"I will handle this myself. Now, I have something else I need you to do for me."
He said and handed the driver's license to Brian, "Go check out this company and this person. I don't want to see them in Julio again in the future."
Brian was startled.
He took the driver's license to see. Although he didn't know how this person had offended Mr. McCarthy, he didn't dare to ask too many questions.
He answered respectfully, "Okay."
Brian then left.
Mrs. Dottie came over worriedly and said in concern, "Mr. McCarthy, is Mrs. McCarthy all right?"
"She's fine."
Archie turned around and went upstairs. Just as he stepped onto the steps, he halted.
"Make a cup of honey water and bring it to me."
"Yes, Mr. McCarthy."
Natalia was already awake when he returned to the bedroom again.
The antidote the doctor had given her was effective. She was already awake in just half an hour.
She was in a trance for a moment when she saw Archie, and she asked, "How did you find me?"
At the mention of this, Archie was a bit angry.
He stepped forward, gently cupped her chin and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you just wait for me there?"
Natalia froze, looking at him in confusion.
"I was afraid that they would find out! I couldn't stay there any longer. If they found me, I wouldn't be able to escape then."
"You can find a safe place to hide."
Just thinking that she had the nerve to get into a stranger's car under such circumstances and nearly got herself into danger, how could he be not angry?
Natalia pouted in aggrievance, "I didn't expect this! I was in such a panic that I couldn't even think about it."
As she said, she glanced at his expression before she wrapped his arm with her hands and begged coquettishly.
"Honey, I was wrong."
Archie's originally frozen heart melted a little.
Natalia then held his wrist again and said pitifully, "I thought you'd find me soon! How could I have expected that driver to be so nasty? I'm fine now, am I not? No bad guys would dare to bully me with my wise and powerful husband around!"
