Chapter 28
Met with Denedict’s red–tinged eyes, Janelle telt her heart shudder. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but benedict’s grip resembled an iron clamp There was no way she could break free
“Y–You lied, Benedict. You told me to leave!!!
Benedict suppressed the restlessness in his body and let out a crooked smile he could barely control. “I’ve changed my mind. You said you could check on me, so stay and treat me.”
d he suspect s
something?
Janelle looked into his eyes, and her heart twisted into a knot. Why
y would he suddenly say something like that? Did 1
No, she shouldn’t have offered anything earlier! What could possibly happen to him here on his own turf?
Forcing herself to hold back the bone–deep fear creeping through her, Janelle took a deep breath and replied, “You misunderstood me, Mr. Fletcher. 1 didn’t mean it like that. I only know a few basics, really,
“I’m no better than an intern nurse. Honestly, the only reason I picked anything at all was because I happened to know Dr. Presley’s assistant.”
A cold, razor–sharp smile tugged at the corner of Denedict’s lips, and his eyes were piercing enough to see straight through her.
At that point, he didn’t believe a single word she said. She was full of lies!
Besides, he had also confirmed his suspicions that she had a connection to Taylor. After all, they had shown up at the same places far too often. Even a real couple wouldn’t attend that many high–profile events together.
By then, Benedict was fully convinced of his theory,
He yanked her inside. With a loud bang, he kicked the door shut behind him.
Janelle was caught off guard. Amid her daze, Benedict yanked her into the room, causing her to stumble before the table.
Immediately, she blew up. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Benedict?”
Benedict fought the urge to explode, his breaths coming hard and heavy as he leaned down into a seat. His cold eyes brimmed with a violence barely held at bay.
Is. Moore!”
“Knowing basics is better than knowing nothing. So, please proceed, Ms.
At that point, Janelle wanted nothing more than to swing a fatal punch at him. However, with Tiffany still inside the hotel, she knew that going head–to- head winx him now could risk exposing Tiffany’s identity.
She couldn’t bear seeing that unfold, so she had no choice but to suppress her fury.
“T’in afraid I can’t, Mr. Fletcher. I can only treat simple things like colds and fevers. Whatever you’ve got going on right now is out of my capacity. I’ve never seen it before, bet alone know how to treat it
Janelle met Benedict’s chilling, crimson eyes once again. “I–I swear I’m telling the t–truth this time
The air was thick with tension.
Janelle ulstened to Benedict’s increasingly erratic breathing, silently counting down how much longer he could hold on botere losing control.
It… he refused to let her go after losing control, she would have no choice but to treat him.
She was bracing herself to move when he suddenly pulled his gaze away and made a phone call.
Benedict slowly closed his eyes, his voice low and cold, strained with pain he was clearly trying to suppress. “Bring the medicine to the hotel. Now.”
Janelle heaved in reliel, quietly relaxing from her instinctive urge to intervene.
On the other end of the line, Ethan tensed up after receiving the order. “Mr. Fletcher, are you having an episode?”
“Yes”
Hearing Benedict’s muffled groan of pain, Ethan didn’t waste a second and immediately went to retrieve the emergency medication at the hotel.
Janelle watched as Benedict ended the phone call. She was almost losing sensation in her wrist and couldn’t help but struggle slightly.
“Now that someone’s sending you your medication, I can leave, right, Mr. Fletcher”
Benedict half-closed his eyes, his tone unreadable. “No.”
“Oh, my gosh, what does this dude want?” Janelle screamed intermally.
On the other side, Ethan discovered that the hotel’s spare medication had expired. Immediately, he called the Fletcher residence, only to receive the unfortunate news–the stock at home had also expired.

A man and a woman walked in.
Jenelle naturally knew Ethan, Benedict’s assistant, but she was infamiliar with the woman, who was tall and strikingly beautiful.
Janella’s gaze darkened slightly. Unbeknownst to her, Ethan was in utter shock despite his calm demeanor.
Was that a woman in Benedict’s quom
It was well–known throughout Valoria that Benedict wasn’t fond of women. Not only had no women entered his rooms over the years, but even a fernale mosquits would have had a hard time getting past his threshold.
But now, he was pulling Janelle by the hand!
Shocked as he was, Ethan quickly suppressed his emotions and spoke with professionalism, “Mr. Fletcher, both the emergency supplies from the Fletcher residence and the hotel have expired.
“Instead. I’ve brought Ms. Baker to treat you”
Benedict simply replied with a prunt,

A woman’s intuition was always sharp.
Keira had been Benedier’s personal doctor for years, always on call and following him around. Now, seeing a beautiful woman like Janelle suddenly appear, she couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of throat and resentment.

However, she knew better than to act on those feelings. If she were to show any sign of hostility now, the good impression she had built would disappear in an instant,
Instead, she would wait until he fell asleep from the injection before marking her territory to that vixen
“The treatment will begin now, Mr. Fletcher.”
As Keira opened the medical kir, drew the medication into a syringe, and injected it into Benedict’s body, she proceeded with the additional treatment of acupuncture
His grip was too tight, and Janelle couldn’t break free. Therefore, she stopped struggling Instead, she quietly observed Keira’s actions as she treated him The injection was fine, but the acupuncture… Janelle’s gaze shifted slightly at Keira’s technique.
The method seemed ordinary at first, but having dedicated many years to medicine, Janelle could discern subtle differences in the technique.
The more she watched, the more she felt a strange sense of familiarity. Where had she seen this before?
