Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 113

How had Arvin known that she was at the pub? Did he have her followed? Or had he fit a monitor on her?

"What's the matter? Why didn't you tell me before you came here?" asked Arvin, very annoyed. Didn't she know that there were both good people and bad guys? And how dare she order wine in such a lousy pub!

Didn't she know how much she could drink? Arvin was so angry that blood throbbed in his temples.

"Er... It's Randal's fault!" Angela confessed that she had met Randal in the afternoon.

Arvin gave her a cold look. Randal! Hadn't he asked the director of the Pharmacy Department to teach the lad a lesson?

Why was he still in the Pharmacy Department? ...

Angela was too shy to speak certain words, but Arvin knew that Randal would not say anything good. After all, a filthy mouth cannot utter decent language!

'Just wait and watch how I would punish Randal!'

"Come with me!" Arvin seized Angela by the wrist and roughly pulled her up.

Angela exclaimed, "No! Randal should be here anytime!"

"I will tell him that you have left." Arvin ground his teeth in anger.

If Angela drank this cup of cocktail, maybe it was she that would be fixed!

"Okay. But I have already ordered the wine. It is the most expensive one. Just wait a minute..." protested Angela. She was imploringly looking at Arvin, when he decidedly picked up the glass. "Eh! Arvin! Arvin! You can't drink that! Don't drink the wine, " screamed Angela even while he drank the whole thing in one big gulp! Angela stopped screaming and helplessly looked at Arvin.

Oh no! What had he done. Angela had just invented a drug that would silent the vocal chords of a person for a year. It was this drug that she had mixed in the wine.

"Arvin! Let me take you to the hospital."

Angela was so frightened that she started crying. She hadn't invented the drug that could cure the vocal cords. How could she possibly know that Arvin would drink the wine meant for Randal?

"Why do we have to go to the hospital?" Arvin wondered aloud as he looked at Angela, who was sobbing, in confusion.

Eh? Did she just hear Arvin speak? Angela stopped sobbing and looked at Arvin. What was wrong? Why hadn't Arvin lost his voice? Maybe the effect of the drug was delayed?

Anyway, it was she who had added the drug to the wine; and she did not have the courage to tell him the truth. "I'm not feeling well. Let's quickly go to the hospital."

Angela made up an excuse and left the pub with Arvin tagging behind.

Outside, Kent was waiting beside the car.

Without any explanation, Angela stuffed Arvin in the passenger seat of her car. "You are drunk. So you can't drive. Sit and I'll drive."

All through the while, she had been racking her brains to come up with the name of the drug that could cure the effect of her formula.

"What's wrong with you?" Arvin asked while sitting in the car. He vigorously shook his head. He felt that Angela's shadow was oscillating, but he didn't care. He thought it was due to the wine.

"I... my stomach is upset." Angela desperately said stepping on the gas while rushing to the Yao Hospital.

On the way, Angela finally realized that Arvin had continued speaking throughout the drive. He had even called up Kent and told him that he didn't want to see Randal anymore.

How could this be possible! ... The drug's effect should have been visible within two minutes. How could Arvin still speak?

Angela was startled out of her thoughts, when she heard Arvin talking to her. "Angela, drive carefully. Why are you shaking so much?" he asked.

"I am not shaking!" Angela said.

"I am feeling dizzy..." admitted Arvin. "Which wine had you ordered?" he asked Angela.

... Angela told him the name of wine. She carefully looked at him and asked slowly so as not to raise any suspicions, "Do you have a sore throat?"

"No. I just feel a little hot." Arvin rubbed his swollen temple. It was now throbbing even harder.

...

Angela suddenly remembered something. She parked the car at the curb and called her brother, Sven. "Brother, what is the effect of the compound diclofenac potassium?" she inquired.
