Chapter 613
"Do you remember what that man looked like?"
"I..." Joanne thumped her head and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes reddened as she wept. "I can't remember, but his back looked familiar to me. He looked tall and beefy."
"What about his other features? Can you recall anything else about him?"
A lot of vague memories suddenly flashed in Joanne's mind.
Catelyn stared at her aggrieved appearance and felt remorseful and guilty.
She was also mad that the driver did not fetch Joanne, and he did not even call her to double-confirm her friend's wellbeing.
She held herself responsible because she did not call Joanne to ask if she had gotten home safely before going to bed.
However, what troubled them was that Joanne had already taken a shower, and she might already have washed away the evidence, which was the DNA of the man.
Not to mention, she was a public figure, and that incident would most probably affect her reputation.
"Do you remember where you met that man?"
Joanne took a moment's thought and answered with certainty, "In the bathroom of the Riverdale Entertainment Club."
Joanne was struck by a headache when she recalled what had happened in the bathroom. She then tugged at Catelyn's sleeve and asked with a panic expression. "D*mn it! Do you think the man I met in the bathroom has AIDS? Also, what if he recognizes me, takes pictures of me naked, and sells them to random tabloids?"
Catelyn became anxious, too.
If that was true, Joanne's nightmare was a nightmare in the making.
Staring at Joanne's watery eyes, Catelyn hurriedly comforted her, " He won't. If that man recognizes you, he won't run away before you wake up, and he'd instead threaten you with those photos."
Joanne covered her face with her hands again, cursing at how careless she had been with herself last night.
"Then that means 1 was bedded for nothing..."
Catelyn was afraid of Joanne's wild thoughts, so she immediately helped her clean up and accompanied her to a private hospital before checking the video surveillance in the hotel.
The burning pain in Joanne's private parts made walking difficult. It seemed that the skin had been torn off, and it was swollen and uncomfortable.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she lost her balance and almost fell to her knees.
It took some time for Catelyn to carry her to the hospital for an examination.
The diagnosis given by the doctor gave Joanne mixed feelings. The doctor told her that the STD test result was negative, yet those diseases normally have an incubation period, such as AIDS.
"I'll give you some medicine, and you need to apply them to the wound when you get back."
That was the first time Joanne knew there could still be scabs in her private parts.
She was too embarrassed to see anyone at this point.
Before leaving, she gave the doctor an envelope of money in exchange for a promise to keep her incident a secret.
