Chapter 169
Here, the hospital.
Dwayne answered Margaret’s call in the hallway, gave a few instructions, and then put away his phone.
The doctor walked out of the ward and turned to ask, “How is it?”
“Ms. Frazier was just overly scared and had no other injuries on her body.”
Dwayne nodded, pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in.
Sonia looked frightened, clutching the blanket tightly, “Dwayne… he was going to kill me, he was going to kill me.”
“No,” Dwayne paused for a few seconds, then added, “Don’t worry.”
“Dwayne, I had no grudge against him, why did he kidnap me!” A tear hung in her eyes, innocent and pitiful in my eyes, “Is it because of Dr. Acosta? He is Dr. Acosta’s brother, could it be that Dr. Acosta wants to harm me?”
Sonia looked at Dwayne, “craving his attitude.”
In the past, if he had known that she had suffered such injustice, he would definitely not have let that person off lightly.
So she didn’t want Dwayne to let them off the hook.
“Don’t overthink it,” Dwayne patiently reassured, “I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Sonia forced a smile and said, “Okay.”
She lowered her eyes, full of malice.
When Dorothy woke up, she was in the nearby hospital receiving intravenous fluids.
She slowly sat up, and the auntie in the next bed spoke, “Girl, are you awake?”
Dorothy turned to look at her, and the auntie said with a kind smile, “You fainted from heatstroke on the side of the road, and a tall handsome young man brought you to the hospital. He asked me to help take care of you!”
