Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

Henry said in a deep voice, “It’s alright. Fetch me a basin of hot water over.”

Mrs. Dottie hurriedly responded, “Okay.”

After carrying Zoe back to the bedroom, Mrs. Dottie had also brought in the water.

Henry told her to leave them in the room, then wrung a hot towel and wiped Zoe’s face, hands and body.

After some examination, Zoe was still unconscious, but she didn’t seem to have suffered any injuries.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Brian came over with the doctor.

After some examination, it was found that there was nothing serious. Although she had been drugged, the drug was not strong, nor was it the particularly vicious kind.

After all, the Gil family was quite a decent background. So naturally, they wouldn’t keep some vile stuff at home.

The doctor gave Zoe a shot of antidote and reduced her fever before she left.

Brian had been waiting in the living room downstairs. After Henry made sure Zoe was alright, he covered her with a blanket and went downstairs.

“Did you find out what happened at the Gil Mansion tonight?”

Brian looked embarrassed when Henry mentioned this.

He glanced at Henry and said in a deep voice, “The drug was given to Mrs. Han by the old Mrs. Gil because…”

Brian told Henry everything that had happened in the Gil Mansion tonight.

Henry’s face became even darker and gloomier after hearing the whole incident.

“Mr. Han, everyone from the Gil family was present tonight including her father, but they still did this to her. Do you think we should…”

Henry sneered.

“I will handle this myself. Now, I have something else I need you to do for me.”

He said and handed the driver’s license to Brian, “Go check out this company and this person. I don’t want to see them in Julio again in the future.”

Brian was startled.

He took the driver’s license to see. Although he didn’t know how this person had offended Mr. Han, he didn’t dare to ask too many questions.

He answered respectfully, “Okay.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Brian then left.

Mrs. Dottie came over worriedly and said in concern, “Mr. Han, is Mrs. Han all right?”

“She’s fine.”

Henry turned around and went upstairs. Just as he stepped onto the steps, he halted.

“Make a cup of honey water and bring it to me.”

“Yes, Mr. Han.”

Zoe was already awake when he returned to the bedroom again.

The antidote the doctor had given her was effective. She was already awake in just half an hour.

She was in a trance for a moment when she saw Henry, and she asked, “How did you find me?”

At the mention of this, Henry was a bit angry.

He stepped forward, gently cupped her chin and said in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you just wait for me there?”

Zoe froze, looking at him in confusion.

“I was afraid that they would find out! I couldn’t stay there any longer. If they found me, I wouldn’t be able to escape then.”

“You can find a safe place to hide.”

Just thinking that she had the nerve to get into a stranger’s car under such circumstances and nearly got herself into danger, how could he be not angry?

Zoe pouted in aggrievance, “I didn’t expect this! I was in such a panic that I couldn’t even think about it.”

As she said, she glanced at his expression before she wrapped his arm with her hands and begged coquettishly.

“Honey, I was wrong.”

Henry’s originally frozen heart melted a little.

Zoe then held his wrist again and said pitifully, “I thought you’d find me soon! How could I have expected that driver to be so nasty? I’m fine now, am I not? No bad guys would dare to bully me with my wise and powerful husband around!”

Although he knew she just pretended to sound soft and mushy, it didn’t give rise to any resentment. Instead, it was even pleasant to hear.

Henry snorted.

He let go of her chin and said icily, “You’re just lucky.”

He couldn’t imagine what would happen if he hadn’t noticed something wrong with that taxi at that time, or he had simply missed it.

His eyes turned gloomy just whenever he thought about it.

However, Zoe was oblivious to all this.

She just had a narrow escape, and after a struggle, the dinner she had had long been digested.

She touched her belly and said in a low voice, “Honey, I’m hungry.”

Henry froze. A strange light flashed across her eyes when he looked at her, “Hungry?”

“Yea, I’ starving. I didn’t eat much last night, and after such a big mess, is there any leftover or just anything for me to eat at home?”

“Why do I feel that you want to eat me out more than having dinner?”

Zoe was speechless.

What was all the straightforwardness for?

She blushed and said in embarrassment, “Ahem, no thanks. The doctor gave me the medicine, and I feel much better now. It doesn’t have to be that.”

Henry just smiled, not sure if it was mockery or what. He then went out.

“Come down if you want to eat.” Zoe was stunned.

“Oh.”

In the dining room downstairs.

Henry had asked Mrs. Dottie to prepare some food, and Zoe ate it there alone.

Meanwhile Henry was playing with his phone on the sofa in the living room.

Zoe glanced at him and felt aggrieved, seeing that he seemed to be angry again.

She was the victim, but why was he being angry again?

Unreasonable!

However, she was indeed angry when thinking about what had happened tonight.

Since Ciara had brought things to this point, their relationship had completely turned sour.

She thought idly as she sipped her soup.

She had initially wanted to take this opportunity to go back to live with the Gil family and at the same time investigate the relationship between the Gil family and the power from Eqitin.

She always had a vague feeling that there was something fishy about this. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she investigated it.

However, she never thought that she would slip up and got set up.

She was filled with so much anger by just thinking about what happened last night.

Just at this moment, her mobile phone rang suddenly.

Zoe picked it up and saw that it was Elsa.

“What’s the matter?”

“Miss Gil, early this morning, a few people claiming to be your grandmother and father came over and said they wanted to see you. We couldn’t stop them, and now they’ve gone to your office.”

Zoe was stunned, and her expression changed slightly.

And that was followed by a grim smile.

Very well. They still had the nerve to come for her.

She said in a deep voice, “Alright. I’ll come over immediately.”

After hanging up the phone, Zoe drove straight to Star Entertainment.

The news of the Gil family coming over early in the morning to make a fuss had long spread around the company, so everyone was looking at Zoe with a gossipy look.

Zoe ignored their eyes and went straight into the lift.

As soon as she left, several employees who came in later immediately asked the receptionist, “Hey, what’s going on? Our president’s family came looking for her?”

“Yeah!” The receptionist looked awkward. They apparently had something to say but finally thought better of it.

Those few employees were smart enough to know that they must be hiding something. They hurriedly asked, “What’s going on? Tell us now.”
