Chapter 93
When Anastasia regained some of her consciousness, she curled up in a blanket with her hair spread out messily after knowing that she was safe. Despite that, the drug’s effect was still tormenting her endlessly.
Upon noticing Elliot, she felt her rationale slipping away before she suddenly felt like hugging him.
“Can… Can you hug me?” Anastasia was experiencing chills and heat flashes simultaneously, and she was feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Knowing that she wanted, Elliot reached out to pull her into his embrace before hugging her tightly. Meanwhile, Anastasia looked up to observe the man’s chiseled brow ridge and nose. From her point of view, she could see a gentle look in the man’s eyes, and it was calling out for her.
Elliot’s gaze felt like a feathery touch to Anastasia’s heart before her impulsive self made her do something out of character. In the next second, she sat up and held Elliot’s face before planting a kiss on his lips.
At the same time, Elliot tensed up. Is she trying to use me as a cure?
Still, he knew that everything that was happening wasn’t something that Anastasia would willingly do since she wasn’t thinking rationally, so there was no need for him to be happy about it.
In fact, she might regret what happened when she regained consciousness. Still, rejecting Anastasia put Elliot’s self-control to the test.
When he tasted Anastasia’s lips, he felt his self-control leaving completely before he grabbed her slender waist with his strong arms. Then, Elliot pulled Anastasia toward him and took the lead before the two of them fell onto the bed.
The kiss opened the pandora box, and there was no way to stop it now.
Nevertheless, Elliot didn’t actually try to attempt to do anything to Anastasia. While she was still in a daze, he picked her up and headed to the bathroom before placing her in the bathtub. Since it was a summer night, the water was cooler than usual. Right then, Anastasia’s body was immersed underwater as she propped her head by the edge of the bathtub and moaned weakly.
Now that her rationale was starting to return, she looked up before her mind went
blank momentarily. After coming back to her senses, Anastasia felt so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. Did I just kiss him forcefully?
In fact, she also recalled herself trying to offer herself up to him.
“Have you finally come back to your senses?” Elliot stood by the bathtub as he looked at her with a worried look. Nevertheless, he felt as if he needed a cold shower as well because his body felt extremely warm right then.
There was no way Elliot would be able to handle watching Anastasia getting out of the showers after getting teased by her back then.
On the other hand, Anastasia started making connections as to why she ended up in that old man’s bed after she came back to her senses. Everything started because of the text message that she had received, and she was drugged at the alley where she was supposed to meet the man before she ended up waking up on the bed.
It was obvious that she was sent to the old man. At this moment, Anastasia checked that she still had all her garments on before sighing in relief.
“Thank you,” she looked up and thanked the man standing by the entrance of the bathroom. If Elliot hadn’t rushed over to save her, she couldn’t imagine what could have happened to her.
“Why did something like this happen? Who drugged you before sending you to this
· man’s bed?” There was an annoyed look in Elliot’s eyes. Why can’t she do a better job of
protecting herself?
Meanwhile, Anastasia sighed before she stood up from the water. However, she quickly sat back in the bathtub as the water had drenched her outfit and revealed her body shape completely.
“Can you get me something to change into?” Anastasia gave Elliot a pleading look.
Then, Elliot went to get the housekeeping staff to get Anastasia an outfit before he left the bathroom, allowing Anastasia to take a shower before changing into her new outfit. When she came out in the beige dress with her waist-level hair down, Elliot, who was on the couch, was stunned before he rejoiced secretly that nothing had happened to her tonight.
