Chapter 219

The imported sedative that Trevorer had given to Coral was indeed potent.

Seated in the back of a taxi with Walganus Capital's license plate, Alexander held Coral’s delicate body tightly.

“Sir, find any hotel. The sooner, the better!” he urged.

The driver casually agreed, glancing at the back seat through the rearview mirror, unable to suppress his

secret envy.

Coral, evidently affected by the drug, struggled and twisted in Alexander’s embrace. Her face flushed pink, and

she recklessly showered him with kisses.

Alexander exerted force as he continuously dodged Coral’s kisses. He firmly gripped her wrists, his brows

furrowing tighter.

Approximately five minutes later...

“We've arrived.” The driver stepped on the brakes, halting the taxi in front of a three-star hotel. He shouted,

Sir, is this okay? Three stars, and the cost...”

Alexander did not bother to say much, immediately scanning the QR code to pay the fare, swiftly rushing into

the hotel with Coral, securing a double room.

“Wishing both of you a pleasant evening!”

The receptionist, a young lady accustomed to such situations, smiled meaningfully at Alexander before

handing over the room key.

Alexander disregarded the receptionist’s gaze, seized the key, then swiftly carried Coral into the hotel room. He quickly placed

her on the bed, fingers rapidly pressing on Coral’s philtrum.

“It feels awful, I’m so hot...”

Coral wildly writhed on the luxurious bed, hands tearing at her own clothes, evidently losing her composure.

Alexander gripped her wrists, his expression as calm as still water.

The drug Trevorer had given Coral was unexpectedly intense. He should have punched that damned scumbag

out at the karaoke box establishment. That man was despicable!

“Just hold it together for now, Coral.”

Alexander thought quickly, then gritted his teeth and embraced Coral. He swiftly rushed into the bathroom,

turning on the shower in the cubicle.

Splashing sounds echoed as the cold water gushed out, instantly soaking Alexander and Coral. Alexander, with his exceptional

physical condition and dressed in a casual suit, did not mind getting wet. However, Coral wore a dress that clung tightly to her

body after being drenched, outlining seductive curves that were. irresistibly alluring.

“Coral, are you feeling better now?” With closed eyes, Alexander kept a distance from Coral and spoke in a deep voice, “Being

wet for too long can lead to a cold. If you're feeling better, I'll turn off the tap immediately.”

Stimulated by the cold water, Coral trembled continuously, unable to articulate complete sentences. She managed to open her

eyes, glanced at Alexander’s face, and blushed slightly.

“Alex... Alexander...” Her words were muffled and unclear, and she shivered from the cold water. Unable to speak coherently,

she struggled to keep her eyes open, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She mumbled a few syllables, her vision blurred. Her head tilted slightly in Alexander's arms, and she drifted into a deep sleep.

Alexander breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned off the tap, grabbed a towel from the side to dry her body, and carried her back

to the bedroom. He turned on the heater and covered her with a blanket, taking precautions to prevent her from catching a cold.

Having completed these tasks, he finally relaxed and silently stood by, waiting for Coral to wake up.

The next morning...

“Ugh...” Still lying on the bed, Coral’s groan was muffled. Her delicate body twisted a few times, and her eyelashes fluttered open

slowly. She looked at Alexander beside her, and her small face turned red.

“Coral, you're awake.” Sitting beside her, Alexander reached out to check her pulse, smiling gently. “Normal body temperature,

normal heartbeat, and the effects of the drug have worn off. Don’t worry.”

‘A-Alexander...” Coral’s face reddened even more as she struggled to recall everything that happened in the taxi. Feeling weak

all over, she could not help but speak with a soft voice, “I feel so weak, I...”

“It's okay.” Alexander waved his hand, smiling. “Feeling weak is normal now. After having breakfast, rest for a few days, and

you'll fully recover.”

“I'm not talking about that.” Coral bit her lip, her face even redder than before. “Alexander, the drug took effect, and I can’t

remember everything... Did anything happen between us last night?”
