Chapter 441 The Family Doctor
Manuel took off his coat and covered Ainsley with it. Then, he carried her out of the cafe.
He gently placed Ainsley on the back seat of the car. "Aisy," he called her with worry.
Before Manuel closed the door, Ainsley leaned over and held Manuel's hands. Although the coat was between them, he could still feel Ainsley's heat.
"I feel so hot," Ainsley gasped and said.
Manuel's fingers trembled, and he helped Ainsley sit back and closed the door.
With a heavy sigh, Manuel sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
He knew that he could not go to the Easton's home, so he took Ainsley to his apartment.
Manuel carried Ainsley up again, and he could feel her temperature getting higher.
He put Ainsley on the bed. Ainsley couldn't help getting close to Manuel and murmured, "I feel so hot..."
In the car, Manuel managed to resist the impulse to hug Ainsley. When she threw herself into his arms again, his mind was in turmoil. He controlled himself not to do anything that he might regret.
Manuel took out his phone and dialed a number. "Come to my apartment."
Twenty minutes later, a car stopped at the entrance of Manuel's apartment. A woman went into Manuel's home with a medicine box. "Who is sick?''
"Dr. Lawson, she is inside." Manuel was gloomy.
Elisa Lawson went into the room and found Ainsley's behavior abnormal. "What happened to her?"
Manuel's voice was deep. "She was drugged."
Elisa nodded and did not ask more. She knew what kind of drug it was.
She took out instruments to check Ainsley. Fortunately, because of Serina, Manuel had a lot of medicine and instruments at home.
Elisa injected a tranquilizer for Ainsley and left cooling patches.
"Do you know how much she has taken?" Elisa frowned.
Manuel shook his head. When he entered the room, Ainsley had already been like that. However, she still had willpower, which meant she probably hadn't taken too much.
Elisa looked at Ainsley with worry. "The drug from Portugal is not highly potent but has a long time effect. It will at most stimulate sensation but is not harmful to her body. And there was no antidote. I have given her a tranquilizer and left you cooling patches. She feels hot now, and it is not convenient for me to wipe her. Where is Serina? You can ask for her help."
"Serina is looking after my grandpa in the hospital. I didn't tell her about this, and I was afraid she would be worried."
"That's true. Remember to help her cool down," Elisa said. She looked at Manuel and then at Ainsley. For a moment, she was speechless.
She pondered for a moment and said, "You have been together for years of break-ups and reconciliations. If you are still together, it's easy. Well, I won’t say more. Call me again if there is anything else. I will have someone watch over Mr. Gage. He slipped into a coma in a suspicious way. Have you found out the reason?"
