Alice went ahead and Anthony helped Kennedy.
The drive wasn’t very long, but Kennedy’s sanity had been nearly gnawed away by the drug, and he didn’t speak during the car ride, sitting with his eyes closed and his lips pursed as he fought the urge to almost pull himself out of his body.
After hearing a familiar voice, Kennedy opened her eyes and saw Alice walking in front of her, briskly pacing and mostly wearing only her pajamas.
Kennedy frowned.
Soon they reached the bathroom and just as Kennedy entered, Anthony said, -Sister-in-law, come out for a moment.
Alice had no idea what was going on, but she trusted Anthony not to do anything to hurt Kennedy and obediently stepped out and stood in the bathroom doorway.
As a result, she saw Anthony turning on the shower and trying to spray Kennedy’s body.
The sight caused Alice to stare in disbelief.
-What are you doing?
Anthony’s hands moved and looked at Alice standing in the doorway. Seeing her blush, Anthony’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t know how to explain.
Sister-in-law, I…
Kennedy, who had not spoken, at that moment raised his eyes, his dark gaze resting on Alice’s slender body, and whispered, -Where’s your coat?
-Huh? -Alice didn’t understand why he suddenly asked her that and looked down at the pajamas she was wearing.
-Go put on a coat, it’s cold.
As she said this, Kennedy broke out in a much colder sweat on her forehead, and seemed to be in great pain.
Alice felt a little sad, but she heeded him and turned to put on her coat.
Anthony, who was standing next to her, said sourly, -Well, Kennedy, do you still think your wife is underdressed after all this?
Anthony was speechless. Obviously this man was high, Anthony thought he was going to burst, but who knew he had the presence of mind to tell Alice to put on one more to save him from catching cold.
When Anthony finished, he got no reaction, and when he looked at him again, the fucker had closed his eyes again, still in bad shape.
Seeing him like that, Anthony wondered a little whether the person who had just spoken to his sister-in-law was Kennedy or not.
-You’re being too biased, I’ve carried you all the way and you won’t even look at me, I’m so fucking sad.
Anthony couldn’t resist a few complaints.
Probably because he was making too much noise, Kennedy pursed his lips in disgust and said, -Have you said enough?
-Hmm?
-Say enough and go away.
-Brother, I really want to open your brain to see if it’s just your wife, too heavy with the sex. I was the one who brought you back, I rescued you from danger, and now you treat me like this?
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Alice’s side had returned from putting on his coat, phone in hand, and was once again standing in the bathroom doorway.
-Anthony, what’s going on? What’s wrong? Is he hurt? Do you want me to call an ambulance?
Seeing Alice’s anxious look, Anthony felt that if he was embarrassed to explain, Alice might call an ambulance.
But how was he going to explain? After thinking about it, Anthony decided that since the situation was already like this, he had nothing to hide.
It would have been better to get straight to the point and say it in a painful and direct way.
Thinking about it, Anthony looked at Alice and simply spoke, -Sister-in-law, Kennedy he’s actually….
At that moment, an icy voice interrupted him.
-There’s no need to call an ambulance, I’m fine.
At these words, the two looked together at Kennedy.
With difficulty, he raised his eyes and they rested on Alice’s worried and anxious face.
-I’m fine.
Anthony was speechless.
It was strange to be fine.
Looking at him, the drug was so fierce that only someone like him, who had good self-control, had not lost consciousness so far.
If it were anyone else, I’m afraid that by now they would have …
But it didn’t look like he was going to tell Alice, why, for fear of frightening her?
Alice’s thoughts were similar to Anthony’s; he looked bad now, but in reality he said he was fine.
Was he rejecting her so she wouldn’t know what was wrong with him?
Alice began to look more closely at Kennedy.
She hadn’t seen any wounds on him from the time she had come in until now, and no doubt she would have smelled blood if he had been hurt. But she didn’t even smell it, and Kennedy wasn’t going to call an ambulance, so by presumption it wasn’t a flesh wound.
It wasn’t a superficial injury, that …
Combining Kennedy’s reaction with Anthony’s actions and hesitation, Alice had a hunch that she had guessed something.
To confirm her suspicions, Alice hung up her phone and looked at Kennedy, -Just soaking in cold water, right?
The slightest hint of her voice crawled into Kennedy’s ears like crawling ants, making her almost too patient to resist.
Alice then saw the cold sweat on Kennedy’s forehead become a little thicker.
It really seemed to be what she had guessed it would be.
Kennedy was drugged.
-Sister-in-law… -Anthony still didn’t know what to say with the shower head in his hand, he had wanted to use it on Kennedy when he first came in but hadn’t because Alice had stopped him.
Alice looked up, her eyes fell on Anthony’s face, and said softly, -Anthony, thank you for tonight, you go home first.
Anthony did not respond.
At Alice’s words, he looked unconsciously at Kennedy.
The man’s eyes were still closed and it seemed that his consciousness had been gnawed down to a single thought that held him together.
-Sister-in-law, I…
Alice smiled faintly, -What’s the matter?
Anthony reacted, the shower head had been put back in place by him, then shook his head, -No, since you said so, then I’ll go back first.
In fact, he understood it.
Didn’t Zoe give Kennedy that drug as an opportunity to seduce him? But in the end it didn’t work.
Anthony sighed in his heart that his sister-in-law was smart enough to understand without him explaining it to her.
-Then … I’ll come back and you’ll call me if something comes up.
Alice nodded and walked Anthony to the door, and as she was about to close it, Anthony stopped the door with a forlorn expression and looked at Alice with a serious expression.
“Sister-in-law, although I know you have a past with Kennedy, but this medicine is very strong, you… must pay attention to safety.
Alice was speechless.
Although she had acted calm before, Alice couldn’t help but blush at the seriousness of Anthony’s advice.
