Chapter 1123: Chapter 1119: How Was Your Date Today?
Sophie Smith and Asher Land’s expressions instantly stiffened for a moment.
Just earlier everything was fine, and now, something happened again?
Asher Land dashed upstairs, with Sophie Smith following closely behind.
"Miss Irene, this drug addiction hasn’t been controlled well. It’s back whenever it wants..." Nanny Garcia voiced repeatedly, somewhat anxious.
When Sophie Smith and Asher Land went upstairs, they saw Irene Morton weakly crouched on the ground, leaning against the bed. Her body and face were twitching, her pupils were dilated, and she was continuously uneasy.
In fact, Irene Morton hadn’t been using drugs for long, it was just that one time, and no one knew why it became so severe. Perhaps the group of people had administered a too-heavy dose to her, leading to this situation.
As Asher Land walked over, Irene instinctively clung tightly to his arm, as if holding onto a lifeline, refusing to let go.
"Brother Asher... I feel awful, so awful..." Irene’s voice shook violently. Eventually, she lost control of her emotions, gripping Asher Land’s arm increasingly tightly.
Asher Land was dressed in a gray sweater, not very thick, and Irene’s long nails were embedded into his flesh, uncontrollably increasing the pressure.
"Irene, don’t act impulsively..." Sophie Smith approached, just about to pull Irene away, but was stopped by Asher Land.
"Let her be." If she wasn’t exerting force on his arm now, she would probably harm herself like self-mutilation later on.
Sophie Smith looked at Asher Land with eyes full of heartache. Irene showed no intention of easing her grip, instead, her emotions grew more agitated, and her strength increased. Asher Land couldn’t help but break out in a thin layer of sweat on his forehead...
Eventually, Irene felt her mind go blank, her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Asher Land’s subtle gasp still reached Sophie Smith’s ears, indeed, unconscious people are quite frightening.
He picked Irene up from the ground and gently placed her on the bed.
"You stay here and look after her. If she wakes up and there’s anything unusual, come to my room." Asher Land said to the maid nearby.
Afterward, he glanced at Sophie Smith and took her out of the room along with him.
"Let me check your wounds." Returning to the master bedroom, Sophie Smith eagerly rolled up Asher Land’s sleeves to reveal his arm and hand, covered with the deep and shallow red marks left by Irene. Sophie Smith couldn’t help furrowing her brows.
"I’ll go find Nanny Garcia to get some ointment, wait for me."
Asher Land hadn’t finished speaking, and Sophie Smith was already swiftly walking out of the master bedroom.
She found the ointment as quickly as possible, "I’ll apply the medicine to you."
Asher Land obediently extended his arm, the cool ointment applied to his hand caused a slight sting.
"Today... How did you and Irene spend the day?" Sophie Smith asked nonchalantly while applying the ointment.
"What do you mean, how?" He didn’t understand what she was referring to.
"Didn’t you two go on a date today?"
Her voice was a little soft, with her head slightly lowered. She didn’t know if Asher Land would mind her asking like this, since it was her who asked him to accompany Irene initially. Now, asking this way seemed somewhat untimely, and she was a bit distracted, aimlessly dabbing his wounds with a cotton swab.
"Let me do it myself."
Asher Land took the cotton swab from her hand and casually applied it to his wound a few times, considering it done.
