Chapter 1679: Chapter 1689

Despite Holden calling his name and shaking him repeatedly, Adrian remained unresponsive for several minutes.

Holden, clearly anxious, persisted in his efforts to wake Adrian.

Nearby, Shawn’s anxiety was evident.

He watched Holden, concerned that Holden might be too rough with Adrian.

Then, unexpectedly, Adrian woke up.

Relief washed over Shawn, which quickly morphed into confusion as he noticed Adrian’s odd behavior.

Upon opening his eyes, Adrian surveyed the room, suddenly jumped to a corner, and crouched like a tiger, even growling at Holden and Shawn.

Taken aback by the scene, Holden and Shawn stood frozen.

“What is happening to him?” they both muttered.

Just then, Adrian growled once more and started to lick his hand, his movements exuding odd elegance.

“Um, Mr.

Fredrick…” Shawn began, his voice faltering.

“Does Adrian think he’s a tiger now?”

This was a bewildering situation.

Holden, with a grave expression, paused to reflect before saying, “He might be hallucinating again.

Last time, he mistook me for his wife.

Now, he believes he’s a tiger.

”

Upon hearing this, Shawn was e

ven more shocked.

Yet, as Holden’s seasoned assistant, Shawn quickly composed himself and inquired about their next steps.

“We should take him to a hospital and let the top doctor available treat him,” Holden suggested after assessing Adrian, who was clearly unable to disembark the plane on his own.

Shawn called over some helpers to take Adrian off the plane.

Adrian fought back, growling and lashing out at anyone who approached.

Despite his resistance, the group overpowered him, tying him up and swiftly transporting him to the hospital.

Following Holden’s directions, Shawn and his team hurried Adrian into the emergency room.

Despite the chaos, Shawn made it a point to apologize to Adrian for the rough treatment, urging his team to expedite their movements to minimize the time Adrian needed to be restrained.

As Holden arrived at the hospital to visit Ariana, he crossed paths with her doctor who was just leaving her hospital room.

The doctor acknowledged him with a respectful nod and greeted him.

“How is Ariana?” Holden inquired directly.

“She’s stable, but she’s been injected with an unidentified substance that has induced a coma,” the doctor replied, pausing for a moment.

“We won’t know when she’ll awaken until we figure out what the substance is and begin the right treatment.

”

Holden’s expression turned cold.

“Rest assured, Mr.

Fredrick; we are doing everything we can now, and we’ll cure her as soon as possible,” the doctor quickly added, bowing slightly.
