Chapter 2158

Catching her breath slightly, Josephine said to Ethan who was on the phone, “Ethan, I-I seem to have

mistakenly drunk something. Can you come and pick me up?”

“What was it? Was it alcohol or was it something else?” Ethan instantly asked in an anxious voice from

the other side of the line. “It’s something else. I’m a little dizzy now.” Josephine was already feeling

dizzy as she spoke.

“Send me your location. I’ll be there right away,” Ethan stated anxiously. At once, Josephine sent Ethan

her location. After that, she swiftly picked up her bag and made her way toward the door.

As for the assistant who stood guard outside the door, she was shocked when she saw Josephine push

the door open and walk out. Panic instantly crept in and she anxiously pulled the other woman over.

“Miss Jacobson, where are you going?”

“Let go of me!” Josephine yelled angrily before she shoved the female assistant’s hand away and

sprinted toward the hallway. Since the female assistant didn’t expect Josephine would sense

something was wrong so quickly, she hurriedly chased after Josephine. She can’t leave! Dane is in the

underground parking lot right now and he will come up shortly!

“Miss Jacobson, don’t leave yet. Mr. Cooke will be here soon.” Nevertheless, Josephine ignored her,

rushed into the elevator, and pressed the close button. Before the female assistant caught up to her,

she had already taken the elevator down.

Stepping out of the elevator with her mobile phone in her hand, she gasped as she walked toward the

entrance of the club. Her body felt somewhat weak and her steps seemed to have become light as

soon as she was outside the building. She held onto a lamppost before she noticed the bus stop next

to her. Without delay, she sat down on the bench at the bus stop and waited for Ethan.

While Josephine was waiting at the bus stop, Ethan’s car rushed toward the club like a ferocious tiger.

He was utterly tensed as he stared at the navigation and watched himself getting closer to the

destination. At the same time, Ethan had notified his bodyguards, who were never around him, to meet

him at the club. For that reason, three cars carrying his bodyguards drove out from the nearby hotel at

this moment.

Josephine, please be alright! Ethan prayed in his heart as he drove. Ethan’s car was about to reach the

club. After making a turn, he suddenly caught sight of a woman sitting on a bench at the bus stop just

as he was about to head to the club.

He took a glance at the woman, and he immediately stepped on the brakes when he realized who she

was. It’s Josephine! Ethan quickly got out of the car and came to Josephine’s side. Then, he reached

out and pulled her into his arms. “Josephine… wake up.”

At this moment, Josephine felt her body burning like a fire. When Ethan’s face appeared before her

eyes without warning, she stretched out her arms and hugged his waist, feeling uncomfortable.

Nuzzling her face in his arms, she whimpered like a little puppy. “Ethan, I feel uncomfortable… Hug

me.”

Just then, the bodyguards’ cars immediately followed suit and pulled over. Eight bodyguards got out of

the car in unison. “Who was the person that spiked your drink?” Ethan held back his anger and asked

through gritted teeth.

“His name is Dane Cooke, and he is Vital Corp.’s vice president. He is… inside the club now,”

Josephine replied before she hugged Ethan again. “Take me away! I feel uncomfortable.”

“Go in there and look for this guy. Once you guys find him, beat him up but don’t let him die.” After

giving his order, Ethan reached out and carried Josephine in his arms before getting into the car. With

that, six bodyguards swiftly headed into the club while the remaining two drove the car, escorting Ethan

and Josephine from the area.

Sitting in the spacious back passenger seat,. Josephine kept touching Ethan’s chest. Meanwhile, Ethan

held her hand and coaxed softly, “Joey, hold on for a bit longer, okay? I’m taking you to the hospital.”

“No… Let’s go to the hotel,” Josephine murmured. What she badly wanted right now was him instead

of going to the hospital for an intravenous drip.

“Joey, stop it. We are going to the hospital,” Ethan muttered, his voice restrained. After hearing that,

she raised her head and cupped his face. Although her body was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she

had a pulsing thought in her heart.

“I want to go to the hotel with you.” The words that escaped her lips sounded resolute despite her eyes

being glassy. “Are you sure?” Ethan gulped. She really does want me to help her, doesn’t she?

“Yes,” Josephine nodded. “Drive to the nearby hotel,” Ethan immediately gave his order to the

bodyguards in front. As soon as they received the order, the bodyguard that was behind the wheel

swiftly sped into the underground parking lot of a five- star hotel.

Ethan exited the car with Josephine in his arms while the bodyguards immediately went to the lobby to

obtain a room card. In less than two minutes, the bodyguards finished the check-in procedure and

delivered the room card to Ethan. With Josephine in his arms, Ethan took. the room card and entered

the elevator.
