Chapter 132
Gavin dragged Andres to the bar, and Andres was unhappy about it. He drank alcohol like he was chugging water, and before long, he was drunk.
Andres took out his phone, insisting on calling Nataly. He dialed a number in a daze, not caring whether the call went through or not, and shouted into the phone, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t you stand me? I’ve been guarding you for over twenty years, can’t you even look at me once?”
Iliana held her phone, double-checked the phone number, and looked confused, “Andres… did you drink too much?”
Since celebrating Marie’s birthday together last year and attending Whitney Group’s annual corporate party, Iliana and Andres had gotten to know each other.
“I drank too much! You didn’t even come to check on me! Don’t you care about me at all? Not even a little bit? What do I lack compared to Dennis?” Andres stuttered, crying out miserably.
Iliana said helplessly, “Andres, where are you?”
“Where can I go alone? If you’re with me, we can go anywhere!” Andres exclaimed.
Iliana could only call Sasha to ask her to inquire with Darwin and Andres about where they usually went for drinks. Darwin provided the name of a bar, and Iliana drove there.
At midnight, when the bar was bustling, Iliana walked in and quite a few men looked her way.
Iliana was petite and looked very frail, but she wore heavy makeup all year round, which gave her a slightly glamorous feel.
The noise from the bar upstairs could be heard, and Iliana went straight up. The door to a private. room was open, and a man’s voice came from inside. “What’s wrong with me, huh? So many women are waiting for me, but Nataly, she doesn’t even give me a glance!”
Gavin had also drunk quite a bit, and he had his arm around a young lady. He lifted his foot and kicked Andres, saying, “Can’t you have some decency? Is one Nataly really worth your life?”
Andres was carrying a bottle of wine when it suddenly slipped from his grasp and smashed onto the floor with a loud “crash.” Shards of glass flew everywhere, and half of the wine spilled all over the ground.
Iliana hesitated for a moment, walked in and pulled Andres, saying, “Andres, you’ve had too much to drink, let’s go home.”
Andres indeed drank too much, and without looking back, he pushed Iliana away with a wave of his hand. Iliana stepped on a wine spill and slipped, falling to the ground. Her palm landed on broken glass, and she bled profusely.
Iliana stood up and turned on the light. The people in the private room were momentarily blinded by the brightness and turned their heads to look at Iliana
The young lady in Gavin’s arms saw her hands covered in blood and cried out in shock Gurvin frowned and told the young lady to go help Andres. He looked towards the entrance and was stunned, “How did Ms Tuttle get here
Iliana smiled and said, “Mr. Robert called me, and I thought he had drunk too much by himself
Since Dr. Hart was also there, I decided to go back
Iliana said this and was about to leave, but Andres let go of the young lady and grabbed fliana hand. Iliana cried out in pain, but Andres didn’t let go. “Where are you going? Nataly! Can’t you look
at me?”
Gavin got up and pulled Andres away, then lifted fliana’s hand to take a look. Her palm had been cut by broken glass, and even her arm was slightly injured When Andres had grabbed her hand earlier, he had pressed the broken glass into her flesh, making the injury somewhat severe
Gavin frowned and instructed the young lady beside him, “Go, bring a basin of ice water
The young lady ran out to get water, while Gavin helped Iliana sit down. He took out his phone and called his driver at home, asking him to come pick them up at the bar
The young lady walked in carrying water, Gavin glanced at Andres and said, “Pour it on him to wake
him up.”
The young lady was startled and didn’t dare to move. Mr. Robert was an esteemed guest in their area, and she couldn’t afford to offend him.
“Just water it if you want to, I’ll take responsibility if something goes wrong!” Gavin said impatiently, glancing at her.
The young lady hesitated, Iliana coughed and said, “Forget it, let him sleep.”
The Hart family’s driver arrived, and Gavin handed a stack of cash to the young lady, saying, “Let him sleep in this private room, and have him come to the hospital when he wakes up tomorrow morning Oh, and don’t take advantage of him while he’s drunk
The young lady happily took the money, cleaned the private room, and carried Andres to the couch
to let him sleep.
Gavin took Iliana to the hospital in his car. When they arrived, it was already late at night. Gavin hadn’t drunk too much, so he washed his face and then treated the wound on Iliana’s hand.
She had quite a few shards of glass in both her hands, and after Andres had just squeezed them, it was a bloody mess, looking very frightening.
“You’re so obedient too, he asked you to come pick him up and you just came? Why isn’t Marie as
obedient as you?” Gavin said helplessly
Iliana laughed and said, “I came here because I know Mr. Robert. If I had known Dr. Hart was here, I
wouldn’t have come.”
Gavin laughed and said, “He’s just like that, couldn’t get over Nataly no matter what. I think you’re
much better than Nataly.”
Iliana was taken aback, awkwardly smiled, and said, “Dr. Hart misunderstood, I can’t compare with
Ms. Carmen.”
Gavin lowered his head to tend to his wound and said, “What misunderstanding? Andres is my brother, and I don’t want my brother to fall for that woman. I think the people around Marie are all
pretty good.”
Iliana hung her head, not speaking. Gavin carefully cleaned up the broken pieces. She had a deep wound on the palm of her left hand. Gavin gave her an anesthetic, stitched it up with two stitches, and then wrapped it with gauze.
