Chapter 121<\/p>\n
Cherise stood at the entrance of the ward and took a deep breath<\/p>\n
Then she pushed the door open and went in.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced around the room, frowning with displeasure.<\/p>\n
In the large white ward, there was only a small bed.<\/p>\n
The air was filled with a strange blend of smells\u2013disinfectant, sedatives, leftovers, the stink of infected wounds, and bodily<\/p>\n
waste.<\/p>\n
The room was so quiet that the only sound was the drip of a leaky faucet in the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Cherise gazed steadily at the slightly elevated hospital bed and strolled over with a relaxed gait.<\/p>\n
Step by step, she approached the bed as the man on the bed gradually came into view.<\/p>\n
As Cherise got closer and looked at the man with his eyes tightly shut, she pursed her lips.<\/p>\n
It looked more like a skull than a man\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
He was incredibly thin, painfully so.<\/p>\n
His cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his face was awfully pale.<\/p>\n
His hands lay by his sides, so thin that the bones stood out clearly.<\/p>\n
Any other girl might faint from fright upon seeing him.<\/p>\n
However, Cherise\u2019s expression remained completely calm.<\/p>\n
She glanced around the bed and noticed a patient information card hanging on the headboard.<\/p>\n
She reached out and picked it up.<\/p>\n
It read: [Roy Lambert. Male. Born in 1975.<\/p>\n
[Place of birth unknown. Residence unknown.<\/p>\n
[Diagnosis: mania.]<\/p>\n
After reading it, Cherise put the card back and her attention shifted to a white label at the foot of the bed.<\/p>\n
She bent down to pick it up.<\/p>\n
When she unfolded it, it showed the label of a benzodiazepine, a type of sedative.<\/p>\n
After reading it, Cherise tossed it aside, and it slowly fell.<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s gaze returned to Roy on the bed.<\/p>\n
She leaned down, gently opened his eyelids, and saw his pupils were a bit dilated.<\/p>\n
Cherise then rolled up his sleeves, revealing many mottled purple marks on his body, likely signs of long\u2013term abuse.<\/p>\n
Cherise snorted and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s your relationship with Mandy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 121<\/p>\n
When Mandy\u2019s name was mentioned, Roy on the bed noticeably flinched.<\/p>\n
Cherise clearly caught this reaction.<\/p>\n
Cherise smirked and raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking with disdain, \u2018Mandy, well<\/p>\n
290%1<\/p>\n
Cherise extracted an acupuncture kit from her pocket with her right hand, selected a needle, and swiftly inserted it into Roy\u2019s forehead.<\/p>\n
A moment later, she pulled it out again.<\/p>\n
Besides a few twitches in his eyelids, Roy had no reaction.<\/p>\n
Cherise watched the color at the needle tip, her eyes gradually widening.<\/p>\n
The needle\u2019s tip turned black, indicating that Roy had likely been poisoned or had taken an overdose of some drug.<\/p>\n
Clearly, it was the latter. If Roy had been poisoned, he would have woken up when the needle was withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Cherise pondered, \u2018Who would want to leave him in this state instead of just finishing him off?\u2018<\/p>\n
Cherise looked up at the ceiling, noticing there were no surveillance cameras in the room, so it was impossible to figure out what happened to Roy.<\/p>\n
It seemed like Cherise had to take Roy away for now.<\/p>\n
Jason was waiting at the door with a slightly anxious look, while the men in black on either side of the door stood there<\/p>\n
motionless.<\/p>\n
The next moment, the ward door opened, and Cherise walked out. Jason breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Leach,\u201d said Jason with relief.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and said, \u201cI need to take him. Can you help?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jason glanced through the door at Roy lying on the bed and nodded. \u201cSure,\u201d said Jason.<\/p>\n
Cherise remarked, \u201cAlright, you carry him and I\u2019ll cover you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jason responded immediately with a \u201cSure,\u201d unable to deny a request from someone with a face so reminiscent of his grandmother\u2019s. He found himself unable to refuse Cherise, no matter the risk involved.<\/p>\n
Then Jason easily picked up the seemingly half\u2013conscious Roy and followed Cherise out of the nursing home\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n
Seeing them come out, Dora and Hugh quickly got out of the car<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Leach, how come you pick someone up after a visit?\u201d Hugh asked with a goofy grin.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at Hugh without replying and simply said, \u201cPut him in the trunk. Let\u2019s head back to Betrico.\u201d<\/p>\n
After finishing everything, the four of them got into the car, ready to go back to Betrico.<\/p>\n
Jason was driving again. Hugh sat in the front passenger seat, while Dora and Cherise were in the back.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, it will take another three hours to get back to Betrico. You\u2019ve been busy since morning. Why don\u2019t you take a break?\u201d Dora said with concern.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, feeling a bit tired. Then she closed her eyes, leaned back on the carrot pillow Dora had prepared for her, and fell asleep.<\/p>\n

Chapter 121<\/p>\n
After Cherise was asleep, the other three in the car instinctively lowered their voices.<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise asleep, Dora also closed her eyes to rest for a while.<\/p>\n
The compartment was eerily quiet, with the only audible sound being the gentle hum of the tires on the highway.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Cherise opened her eyes and sat up straight.<\/p>\n
She glanced out the window and took a mirror from her makeup bag.<\/p>\n
She could clearly see four cars closely following from behind, two on the left and two on the right.<\/p>\n
She calmly put the mirror away.<\/p>\n
Before she could say anything, Hugh and Jason also sensed something was wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are two modified cars following us from behind, with one on each side,\u201d Hugh said calmly, looking through the right- side mirror.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, they seem hostile seems this Roy isn\u2019t just an ordinary patient,\u201d Jason remarked.<\/p>\n
With that, Jason sped up, trying to lose the four cars that were following them.<\/p>\n
Cherise smirked. Hugh was part of Morris\u2018 team and the dark web, so it was normal for him to be so vigilant.<\/p>\n
Regarding Jason, he served as Dora\u2019s assistant, yet his caution suggested he was far from an ordinary person.<\/p>\n
