Chapter 146
The women before her had slow.complexions, their exposed arms covered in scattered red spots.
Seline stood frozen at the doorway, feeling as though she had been struck by lightning. Her face was filled with terror at the sight before her.
They were really insane! To dare go against the Lloyd family, either they were incredibly powerful or reckless tools who would do anything for money, even risking their lives.
But these days, even those with real influence preferred more relined methods. The man who had taken Suzanne away had to be some pretty boy she had found.
That wretched Suzanne! There was no way a powerful man would ever take an interest in someone Eke her.
Seline’s heart pounded in panic as her hands trembled uncontrollably. She pulled out her phone and dialed Mandy, her voice shaking as she said, “Mom, something’s happened.”
The parking garage was completely empty. It was silent except for the soft hum of the elevator.
The elevator doors slid open. In the next instant, Austin strode out while carrying Suzanne in his arms. The driver, Victor Harla
Harlan, immediately opened the rear doo
Austin hurriedly placed Suzanne onto the seat before sliding in himself. As soon as the door shut, the driver swiftly moved to the front and started the engine.
Suzanne squirmed restlessly in Austin’s embrace.
The space between them was barely half an inch. The faint fragrance of her breath brushed against them, causing Austin’s breathing to falter.
His gaze darkened as he looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, “Sit tight. We’re going to the hospital.”
Something was definitely wrong. She had to have been drugged
Her body was burning with unbearable heat, and her vision was hazy as she looked at Austin. She was panting softly.
Her delicate fingers traced his chiseled face before she slowly lifted herself up and wrapped her arms around him, murmuring, “I feel so hot”
The beat surging through her was beyond her control, and all reason had long since abandoned her.
Feeling her lean closer, Austin stiffened. The woman in his arms was dressed alluringly, her flushed face radiating an intoxicating charm. She was like a siren tempting one to sin
Austin clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth to suppress his reaction. His voice was low and coaxing as he said, “Suzanne, be good. Once we get to the hospital, you’ll feel better.”
Suzanne shook her head, cupping his face with both hands before pressing her lips against his. Like finding the cure to her torment, she instinctively sought more, intoxicated by the softness of his lips.
Austin’s entire body went rigid, every nerve centered on that single touch. Her lips were so soft, so sweet. A shudder ran through him, deep and uncontrollable
He wanted to push her away, but his hands betrayed him. His rationality crumbled in an instant, and instead, his fingers gently brushed against her skin.
Victor, who was in front, inhaled sharply but said nothing and quietly lowered the partition.
Suzanne, overwhelmed by his fervent kiss, whimpered instinctively.
Austin suddenly snapped back to his senses. Taking advantage of her unguarded moment, he pushed her away.
If this continued, things would spiral beyond his control
He looked at her with restraint, his voice tinged with frustration. “just hold on. I’ll pass soon!
He had promised himself that he would wait for her. He would never take advantage of her ing state like this. Not to mention, they were still in the car with others present.
Austin ved his pace away from her.
Suzanne, weak and trembling, curled upon the seat, struggling against the unbearable heat. She was usually so distant and composed, but now, her tear–filled eyes were ahimmering with distress. “Auştin.. I feel terrible.”
Auştin…
Austin’s body went rigid
When he had firstearied her out, she had nearly lost all sense of reality, yet she had still resisted fiercely. But now, even in her fevered state, she was calling his name His expression grew even more conflicted
tre. We’re almost there.”
He held her tightly in his arms, his voice gentle as he comforted her, “Suzanne, hang in there.
