It was as Gideon had expected!
He had quite the eye when it came to first impressions. If Amelia were the type to do something like that, he probably would refrain from having anything to do with her in the future.
"You've got to give them a good lesson after this," said Gideon, grabbing Amelia's arm and forcefully pulling her up from the couch. "I'll lead you to the bathroom so that you can have a shower."
Gideon had been drugged like this before. He felt terribly awful and had to shower with cold water when the drug started to take effect to keep his mind clear.
Amelia wasn't mad at the kids for what they had done, though. She was even a little glad, to be honest. Were they hoping that she could be together with Gideon? Were they trying to match-make her and Gideon?
This strategy of theirs wasn't particularly brilliant because Amelia knew Gideon hated getting drugged.
She didn't like it either because it made her feel terribly uncomfortable. As time passed, she felt her body heat up, and her head pounded a little. It didn't feel good, and her limbs felt weak too.
Gideon pulled her up from the couch, but she was so weak that she couldn't even stand straight. Eventually, he resorted to carrying her to the bathroom.
Being in such close proximity, Amelia could smell his scent, and her already heaty body became even warmer until she started moving around due to how uncomfortable it was.
Gideon himself started feeling a burning sensation all over him. He could bear it, but then Amelia started wriggling in his arms, making him slowly lose the ability to restrain himself.
"Stop moving!" he said through gritted teeth.
By then, Amelia's head had started buzzing due to the effects of the drug. She was starting to lose her clarity of mind. It was like all those years back.
She was drugged once 12 years ago, and it was also Gideon who saved her. At that time, she feared that he'd take advantage of her in that situation like how other men would.
But he didn't. He simply let her sit in a bathtub full of cold, icy water and called Hera over to drain some of her blood to treat her. He had been so gentlemanly and respectful toward her.
