Chapter 139
Dizziness and nausea swept over me at once. I used the wheelchair to support myself as I stood up and stumbled toward the bathroom.
Nothing came up, but I felt crampa assail me in waves
I felt terrible, not just physically but also emotionally.
Tears fell down my cheeks as I vomited, and although I raised my hand to wipe them away, more fell.
In the end, I could no longer stand it. A nurse came and injected me with a sedative. I lay in bed, and I didn’t want to see Erhan at all. I said very softly, “Tell him to go out. I don’t want to see him.”
I turned my head aside. Even taking another glance at him seemed to repulse me.
Perhaps it was because of the revulsion in my eyes, but Ethan pressed his lips together, looking at a loss.
I felt that it was laughable. He had lown that it would hurt me when he made that choice, but he had still chosen to hurt me. Why was he putting up an art now? “I don’t want to see him! Tell him to get lost!”
The nurse saw that I was getting agitated again, so she walked over to Ethan. “The patient gets agitated when she sees you. You’d better leave for now.”
Ethan clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles bulged, and be glanced at me again before leaving-
The sedative made me fall asleep, and after about three hours, I woke up. The drip was finished, and my thoughts were sluggish due to the effects of the sedative. It took me a while to remember that I had to go to the police station to make a report,
I changed in the bathroom and walked over to the door. When I twisted the doorknob and opened it, I saw a bodyguard in a black suit standing outside. When I tried to go out, he blocked my path
I had the faint inkings of a suspicion. My expression tumed cold. “Move aside!”
The bodyguard inclined his head. “I’m sorry, Ms. Wiley. Mr. Grayson says that you’re in no condition to go out.”
“Erban!” My hands tightened on the armrests, and I took a deep breath to suppress my emotions. “What if I insist on going out?”
The bodyguard lowered his head and said nothing.
1 understood. Ethan wanted to keep me under control.
I was so angry that I wanted to laugh. Ethan was really a force to be reckoned with.
I took out my phone and unblocked his number, then tapped on the screen to make the call. It only rang twice before he answered.
All I could hear was the sound of electrical static as Ethan remained silent. I didn’t know whether it was because he felt guilty, but I no longer cared.
I said, “Ethan, tell your dog to get lost. You may control everything in Yardville, but do you think you’ll be able to do the same in Napel?
“You’re holding me captive illegally. Since you’re so keen on going through difficult times with Leah, I don’t mind helping you out.”
“Eve.” Ethan finally spoke, and his voice sounded exhausted and weak “Give me some time. I’ll take care of this.”
Tlaughed and looked at the burly man who was preventing me from going out. “How will you take care of it? Are you going to find a way to prove Leah’s innocence and clear her name?
“I don’t trust you. I only trust myself. I didn’t want to w

There was silence over the phone for a few seconds before Ethan spoke again. “I’m sorry.”
talking to him. “Will you tell your dog to get lost or not?”
Sorry?
Sorry?
What use was it to be sorry?
Thung up expressionlessly. I was about to call Liam when the bodyguard came up to take my phone. “Ms, Wiley, since you’ve finished your conversation with Mr. Grayson, I’ll take care of your phone for now. It will be returned to you when Mr. Grayson gets back.”
