“What?” Paige froze.
What does it mean that Enrico took Rafael away, and what did he take Rafael away for?
Half an hour later, Paige arrived at the private hospital. Carrie was pacing anxiously in the hospital room, her face full of worry.
When she saw her come in, Carrie hurriedly picked up her laptop and showed it to Paige. “Paige, I had just finished pushing Rafael for a checkup when my brother-in-law arrived. He didn’t say a word, just pushed Rafael away. I was so stunned that I didn’t stop him. By the time I reacted, I couldn’t find him anymore.”
Paige took her laptop and looked at the surveillance footage Carrie brought to the hospital.
In the video, the elevator door opened, and Rafael, wearing a hospital gown and sitting in a wheelchair, looked haggard as he said something. Enrico stood behind him, wearing sunglasses and a gloomy expression. The dark shirt he was wearing was as dark as the night.
I don’t know what Rafael said, but Enrico kicked him out of the elevator with one kick.
Rafael then slid forward in his wheelchair.
Carrie watched in horror, her fingers tightening involuntarily. Rafael was still injured.
In the video, Enrico took Rafael to the roadside, dragged him straight into the car, and then drove off.
“Sister Paige, where is brother-in-law taking Rafael? He just needs to get an injection.”
He was being taken away without any treatment.
“…”
What was Enrico doing looking for Rafael at this time?
Paige frowned, suddenly remembering something, and turned around and left, “Hurry, Gangnam Hall.”
Carrie hurriedly followed her, full of confusion, “They’re at Gangnam Hall, why?”
What are they doing at Gangnam Hall?
“Enrico knew from the beginning that we had secretly made a new plan without him, and he had been patient. Now that it’s over, he’s going to start settling scores.” Paige spoke urgently, and her pace quickened.
When Enrico didn’t show up at the conference, she should have guessed what he was up to.
Paige drove and took Carrie to Gangnam Hall.
In front of the always heavily guarded Gangnam Hall, Enrico’s car was parked.
Carrie was suddenly panicking. Rafael had just been injured, and if Enrico gave him a lecture, how would he be able to take it?
Paige opened the car door and got out. The two of them rushed to the door but were stopped. Carrie immediately said, “I am the President’s wife, how dare you stop me?”
“The President has given the order, no one can enter, Mrs. Gustin, please don’t make things difficult for us.”
Two rows of well-armed subordinates blocked the door with guns, refusing to let them in.
“…”
Carrie looked at Paige helplessly.
Paige simply took one of the men’s guns and held it against the other man’s forehead, saying indifferently, “Not making things difficult now, are we?”
“…”
The leader looked at the two of them helplessly, “Mrs. Gustin, if you insist… please go ahead.”
The two rows of subordinates silently made way.
Paige threw away the gun and rushed inside immediately. She still had a good impression of the layout of Gangnam Hall, so she led Carrie all the way into the maze-like white corridor and arrived at the interrogation room where she was imprisoned back then.
“Five.”
Rafael’s deep voice came through the door, each word as if he had made up his mind. “I remember clearly that last time, she took five TP1314 at once.”
Hearing this, Paige was shocked and knew that something was really wrong. She hurriedly pushed the door open and went in.
She saw Enrico and Rafael sitting face to face in front of the mahogany interrogation table. The atmosphere was tense, and Enrico’s back had a hard, frosty line.
Rafael sat there with neither joy nor anger on his face. He calmly picked up the small vial in front of him, tilted his head, and poured all the pills into his mouth.
“Don’t,” Paige and Carrie said in unison.
Enrico sat there, not turning his head to hear their voices, but staring at Rafael.
Rafael lifted the glass of water in front of him and mixed it with the medicine in his mouth before swallowing it. It was too late for Carrie to reach him before he threw up.
“You just got seriously injured by them, and you still dare to take so many pills. Do you want to die?” Carrie looked at him nervously, not caring about anything else. She reached out and tried to break his jaw. “Spit it out, spit it out!”
She knew the power of this medicine. Even Sister Paige said that she might be able to withstand it because she had taken a lot of random medicine and poisons since she was a child and had a certain degree of drug resistance. He was a spoiled young master, and this way of taking medicine will kill him.
Rafael sat there with bruises all over his face, which really wasn’t very good-looking. Even his gold-rimmed glasses were smashed by the group of plutocrats.
He is very nearsighted, and even when he looks at the person in front of him, he has to make an effort to see clearly. He sees the nervousness in her eyes shining brightly, raises his hand to wipe the water stains at the corner of his mouth, and chuckles lightly, “It’s fine, I volunteered.”
This matter will pass.
Back then, he wanted to kill Paige, and this year, he took the initiative to use Paige as bait, putting her in danger. He deserved it.
Paige stood to the side, glanced at Rafael, and then at Enrico, only to see him sitting there expressionless, his eyes cold as ice, his thin lips pursed, without a hint of a curve.
Since she entered, his gaze had never once fallen on her.
“I’ll get someone to prepare to pump his stomach,” Paige said, trying to walk out.
Enrico suddenly stood up, lifted his foot and walked past her, the fabric of his shirt brushing against her arm, causing her entire heart to shrink. She raised her head and saw that Enrico had already disappeared into the interrogation room.
“Paige, he took drugs too,” Rafael said.
Upon hearing this, Paige suddenly turned her head back and glared at Rafael, her pupils nearly dilated.
What did he say?
Rafael’s face was not looking good, and looking at her, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “He said that no one can offend you. Four years ago and four years later, he has not protected you completely. This medicine, he should also take a share, and then he took it. I couldn’t stop him. I looked at the quantity, and there were at least five pills.”
It could be more.
He didn’t have time to count clearly.
Paige’s face suddenly turned white.
“I think he’s been depressed for a long time and he’s not in a good mood. Go and see him, talk to him, and take the painkillers with you. They can help,” said Rafael.
“…”
Paige nodded to him with a pale face and turned around to leave.
Carrie also wanted to leave, but Rafael grabbed her wrist, ‘Where are you going?’
“I’m also going to get painkillers.” Carrie tried to break free from his hand.
Rafael looked at her and smiled, smiling a little adoringly. He reluctantly stood up from the chair, “Come, do me a favor.”
Carrie looked at him in puzzlement.
Rafael walked over to the wall, reached out and pressed a button. Immediately, the mechanism on the opposite wall was activated, and four long chains came spilling out.
He walked over a little unsteadily, bent down, picked up the shackles on the floor and put them on his feet. Then he said, “Come on, help me put the cuffs on, otherwise when the medicine kicks in, I’ll hurt myself.”
