Chapter 73 I Don’t Know
Without waiting for Helena to answer, Annie was the first to object: “Miss Rebecca, what kind of place do you think this is? You can do whatever you want? What does the Howard Group count for? What does the organizing committee count for?”
Rebecca shrank her neck in aggression, just like a girl who had done something wrong: “I just thought that before the competition officially starts, my sister and I are just sisters ……”
Pointing at them, Annie interrupted, “They don’t have sisters? They don’t have girlfriends? They don’t want to get together to chat? Miss Rebecca, a competition is a competition, not a holiday.”
“You are right, Annie.” Rebecca looked at Helena with tears in her eyes, aggrieved and pitiful: “Sister! Sister!”
Annie raged.
Helena pulled her back, “Since my sister made this kind of request, and it was really a bit unkind of you not to agree. The rules of the competition are dead, people are alive, not to mention two human lives.”
Annie turned her head to look at her: crazy?
Rebecca was overjoyed, as if she had seen hope. As she was about to open her mouth to speak, Helena waved at the doctor in the white coat in front of her, “Please come over and take my temperature, my fever has been 38 degrees for several days, I don’t know if it’s gone down now.”
Annie: ……
Rebecca: ……
Conor leaned against the wall behind her, lazy and seductive: Jasper’s woman is a bit interesting!
Dr. Watson came over to take her temperature: “It’s still 38 degrees! Did you take your medication?”
Helena opened her bag and took out a packet of antipyretic patches from it onto her forehead, “I can’t find out the cause of the illness, I don’t know why the fever won’t go down, the infusion and medication are useless.” Showing them the infusion needle opening on the back of her hand again to make sure she wasn’t lying, “The doctor gave me the antipyretic patch to physically cool me down.”
Looking at Rebecca, “I want to spend the night with you, but the strange disease possesses me. If it infects the baby, wouldn’t I be a murderer in case it endangers the baby’s life?”
Rebecca had to bet on that: “You are with them but don’t infect them. The baby may be small, but he’s strong, he won’t be infected by you.”
Helena asked, “He won’t be infected, so I don’t need to rest? I have a high fever for a few days and I still have the energy to chat with you?”
Rebecca waved her hands, “You get me wrong, what I meant was that you spent the night with me and I could take care of you.”
Helena asked Dr. Watson, “Is a pregnant woman with pregnancy depression suitable to take care of a patient with a high fever?”
Dr. Watson’s tone was definite: “No!”
Rebecca was angry, but could do nothing, just watched Helena leave again. The lift stopped at the 28th floor and she returned to her room to call Hugo: “Dad, Helena is so bad, she used tricks to make the doctor measure her fever.”
Then she told him the whole story.
Hugo gritted his teeth: “I shouldn’t have raised her in the first place, I should have strangled her. She ate my rice, spent my money, received my education, and now she’s turning against me. I want to get rid of her.”
“Dad, now is not the time for harsh words, we have to find a way to get her out of the way. There’s still the elimination rounds, you need to find a way to find out what they’re actually competing about.” Rebecca was working hard, more than ever she didn’t want to lose nor could she afford to lose.
She made a call to Elias.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Elias answered her call, but his breath was clearly ragged and she could guess what he was going. She hung up the phone angrily and swore, “Helena, you must get out of the competition. I have to win this match.”
Helena returned to the 28th floor.
Annie told her to go to her room and rest first.
JJ lived across the room from her and JJ said, “If you’re used to being taken care of by strangers, I can take care of you at night.”
Helena quite liked JJ, she was young but steady, she could tell that her family was very strict and her education was excellent. She stroked her head, “We’re not strangers, we’re friends and colleagues and comrades.”
JJ smiled with arched eyebrows, “Thank you for treating me as a friend. I’m going to get the quilt now and come over to look after you.”
Helena was grateful for her kindness: “I don’t need to be taken care of. I just have a fever and I’m still in good spirits, I don’t feel any hard feelings. I told Rebecca that I wanted to rest and it was me because I didn’t want to accompany her. You take a good rest and get your energy up going into the competition.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Then if you don’t feel well, you call me. We live across the room and I’m closest to you. Do you have my number?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, then you go in and rest!”
Helena turned to open the door and remembered one more thing: “By the way, JJ, what’s your real name?”
JJ was stunned, not expecting her to ask this out of the blue.
A light flashed in her eyes, and she deliberately concealed her surname, only stating her own name: “They all call me Lottie, I dislike the name Lottie, so I took the pen name JJ. If you don’t mind my name being corny, you can call me Lottie.”
Lottie!
Why did this name feel so familiar? She thought she had heard it somewhere before! Was it because the name was very popular?
She pushed the door open and walked into the room.
As she closed the door, Helena’s head suddenly buzzed and a heartbreaking cry suddenly flashed past her ears: Lottie!
The door closed.
There was movement from behind.
A force was forced towards her right shoulder, bringing with it a brisk wind.
She instinctively dodged it, while holding it. She increased her strength and turned on the light: Jasper?
Frightened and surprised, she hurriedly let go of her hand: “Why are you here? Where did you come in? No one saw you?”
It was simply so easy for Jasper to get in here. He had sneaked up on her on purpose too, just to verify what her strength was all about. She had just held him for a short time, but she was so strong that he could already feel the pain.
“Helena, tell me the truth, how did you get that much strength?” Jasper opened all the photos Conor had sent him of the last time she had bruised his arm and showed them to her, “Conor and I are men, and neither of us has the kind of strength to pinch our hands and arms like that. It was very short just now, but you hurt me.”
Helena was even more confused than he was.
She didn’t know what was going on with her strength, it had somehow come to her.
The last time she pinched him in a dream, she didn’t believe it was real. Later, when she pinched Conor, she remembered that she had pinched Lyla when she went back to the Yip’s to get her documents. Lyla was in pain, but she first thought Lyla was faking, it couldn’t have hurt that much.
It was not until Conor was deformed by her pinching that she realized all this was true.
Something was wrong with her.
How could she have that kind of strength if she didn’t have a problem?
“Helena.”
“I… I don’t know!”
She really didn’t know, it had never happened before. If it had happened, would she have been bullied, bruised and bled to death by Lyla?
