Chapter 354
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
âOkay...â Lily mumbled. She was fine, perfectly fine. Melanie was restless. She was worried about the theme for the finals. Frank was not able to reveal any information to her.
According to him, he could not obtain information about the finals as it was decided personally by the specific judge, and it was most likely Mr. Parker. The organizers did not release this piece of information, so Frank was not sure who exactly was the judge for this round.
Thus, he could not use his connections to get the theme beforehand. Without this key information, Melanie had no confidence in winning the round. More accurately, she was just like a student who would flunk an exam if she could not cheat.
Soon enough, she would only embarrass herself in front of the whole country. She needed to look for Frank to discuss their next plan. Even if she could not win the championship, she would not allow Lily, that b* tch, to win. However, she had been knocking on Frankâs door for a while, yet no one was there.
Melanie tried calling him, but he did not pick up as well. She was feeling more and more uneasy as time went by. Her gut feeling was telling her that something was wrong.
âAside from some minor cuts, sheâs fine,â The doctor told Alexander as he took off his stethoscope.
âReally?â Alexander was still skeptical. Even though he wanted Lily to be healthy and fine, he could not let his mind rest in peace if she was not given a thorough check.
âMr. Russell, rest assured Iâve given Mrs. Russell a detailed check, and everything seems normal. If Mrs. Russell is still not feeling well, I suggest doing an in-depth CT scan or...an MRI.â
âNo, No, Iâm okay, thank you!â Lily said immediately, âIâm not feeling unwell.â
The doctor gave Alexander an âI told you soâ look. Alexander finally gave in and nodded, âDid you take a look at the other lady?â
âYes, I did. The drug is almost cleared from her system, and she would be able to regain her consciousness in a few minutes. If youâre still not convinced, we could give her a detailed check after sheâs awake,â The doctor clarified while stealing a few confused glances at Lily, âErm...â
âIs there something wrong?â Alexander asked urgently after he noticed the doctor looking at Lily. His heart skipped a beat as he started to worry again.
âItâs nothing, really,â The doctor shook his head but decided to voice his concerns after giving it some thought, âMrs. Russell and Ms. Schmidt both had been drugged, right? Strangely enough, I couldn't detect any form of the residue of the same drug in Mrs. Russellâs body.â
Lily was silent for a moment and smiled, âMaybe itâs because my bodyâs metabolism rate is excellent.
That's why you werenât able to find anything? Didnât you say that the drug in Giselleâs system was almost cleared too? Maybe my system was just stronger than hers.â
The doctor hesitated but soon nodded in agreement, âItâs not entirely impossible. This also means you have a faster metabolism rate than a grown man.â
âI guess. Iâm not sure as well,â Lily showed the doctor her best innocent smile. The doctor tilted his head aside and stared at her for a while. Then, he probably accepted that fact and left the room without saying anything else. Alexander sat beside her and studied her carefully before asking again, âAre you really sure youâre okay?â
