Chapter 62
The first thing that Nicole noticed was how red Aaron’s face had gotten. Surprised, she asked, “Aaron, what happened to you?”
The moment his eyes landed on Nicole, the last bits of rationality that Aaron had left fled from him. He stepped forward and gripped Nicole’s stender waist. Not giving her a chance to react, he pushed her back into the room. The door slammed shut with a loud bang behind them.
Shock was etched all over Nicole’s small face. She tried to break free from his hold, but Aaron pushed her to the ground and onto the carpet before pressing his heavy weight down on her. Unfortunately, Nicole was wearing a dress with a low–cut collar that had shifted out of place when she was forced to the ground. Aaron’s heated breaths fanned across her cheek and ear. Nicole’s heart hammered against her chest as she looked at Aaron with fear and panic. “Aaron, what happened to you? Can you understand what I’m saving?”
Aaron looked at her with reddened eyes before lowering his head with the intention to kiss her. Nicole’s heart was plunged into further turmoil when she noticed how close he was getting. They had only agreed to a contractual marriage–there had been no discussions about being intimate. He was crossing a line!
Nicole’s eyes flashed relentlessly. Just as Aston’s lips were about to touch hers, Nicole swiftly tumed her head away, causing him to lass her cheek instead. She froze up at the soft sensation of his lips on her skin
She looked around in a panic, het andery building rapidly. Out of options, Nicole grabbed her handbag and smashed it against Aaron’s head. The zipper of the bag ended up slicing a thin line across his earlobe, probably from the immense force she had put into her swing.
When she noticed tiny droplets of blood beading along the wound she had inflicted, her heart was gripped with guilt. However, she reminded herself that she needed to focus and protect herself first and foremost.
It appeared that Aaron had been drugged. But how had he been dragged while he was at the Boyd Corporation’s banquet? And who would have the guts to do that to him?
Thankfully, Aaron seemned to have entered a daze after being hit by the handbag. He ended up rolling off of her before collapsing onto the empty space next to her. Nicole seized the opportunity to free herself from his hold. She sucked in quick but deep gulps of breath before looking down at her collar. She adjusted it back into position, making sure that she wasn’t accidentally revealing her chest. After she was done, she regained her composure and began to search the room for a first–aid
Aaron was completely at the drug’s mercy at that point, his eyes glazed over.
When Nicole approached him again with the first–aid kit, she couldn’t help the fear that simmered in her heart. She lowered her head and undid Aaron’s belt. She then tied his hands together with it.
Aaron watched her work, not quite understanding what she was doing. However, he didn’t have the strength left to struggle against her. He watched with wide eyes as she retrieved a set of acupuncture tools from the box.
In this sort of situation, Nicole was unable to administer the correct medication for Aaron since she couldn’t accurately diagnose the cause. She was left with no other option except to use acupuncture on him to dispel the effects of the drug. She knelt on the carpet as she carefully inserted the needles into Aaron’s flesh. There was no hesitation in her eyes. At that moment, Aaron was just another patient to her.
Aarup had his hands curled into tight fists. His vision flashed with black and white images. Only when Nicole’s delicate skin came into view did the fine within him bum again.
A long inument passed. Nicole kept close track of the time before she removed the needles from Aaron’s flesh. The moment the needles were removed, Aaron could feel his lucidity gradually retoming to him. He shifted into a sitting position slowly. His eyes darkened as he pressed his lips together, giving ott a trigid air that was impossible to ignore.
When he noticed Nicole packing the tools back into the first–aid it, he tried to reach out to help her. It was then that he realized his hands were tied up by his belt. His slacks and become loose around his waist, nearly causing him to be caught in an embarrassing incident.
Nicole happened to notice when Aaron’s face darkened. She quickly shot human apologetic smile before releasing his hands from his bindings. She then returned his belt to him. “You were fog… unpredictable earlier. I had to temporarily the your hands up to insert the needles into you.”
