Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 1053

"Is she awake?"

"No."

"The effects didn't wear off?"

"Yes, we used a little more in case she woke up half way. She will wake up soon."

"Get prepared. We'll run tests as soon as she wakes up."

In a daze, Summer heard the conversation. Sometimes it was clear, but sometimes it was not. And it became quiet at last.

Summer opened her eyes, her head still dizzy. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a while and heard the sound of some medical devices, which was rhythmical, cold and depressing.

She slowly turned her head and looked around, finding herself in a laboratory. It looked like the one that Leonardo had built for Stanley.

Where did Douglas take her? She only remembered that she fainted after the meal, but she did not know it wasn't Douglas who sent her here.

She said in a measured voice, "Douglas?" There was no reply but the sound of the devices.

Summer moved her body and tried to sit up.

She helped herself up with one hand pressing the bed. Then she quickly threw a pillow behind her so that she could fell on it when she was too weak to sit up on her own.

With the pillow behind her, Summer could see more in the room.

The door was pushed open from outside. Summer couldn't see the door in her position. The door should be at the other side of the corner, beyond her sight.

She had seen him on the news. She remembered that face because Lester was Stanley's foster father.

Lester laughed, "Looks like Ms. Summer knows who I am. Then it'll be a lot easier."

Summer thought quickly, "Did you tell Douglas about his mother and then force him to use me to threaten Leonardo?"

The public didn't know about what had happened in the Emerson family, because Leonardo hid it well.

But somehow, Summer felt Lester must know something.

"Force?" He shook his head. "I didn't force him. If he didn't want to do that, no one can force him to do anything."
