Chapter 573 Taste of Success
Chapter 573 Taste of Success
"I don't mean to cause any trouble for you. I just have a few words to say to Miss Ann in private. We're at a hospital, but I feel like I'm being watched over like a criminal," Grayson expressed helplessly.
"Of course not…" Birch replied, "But, Young Master Grayson, I can't make that decision. Should I ask for permission?"
Grayson was dumbfounded. He was no longer a three-year-old child, and the feeling of being constantly monitored was unbearable. Feeling exhausted, he waved his hand at Birch, signaling him to ask for permission quickly.
As such, Birch walked a few steps to a secluded area and dialed Sebastian's phone. "Sir, Young Master Grayson wishes to have a private conversation with Miss Evans. He wants us to leave."
Sebastian asked, "Where are you now?"
Birch replied, "We're at the entrance of Miss Evans' ward."
Sebastian pondered for a moment and said, "Let him."
"Alright, Young Master." Birch received the order.
Sebastian continued, "But wait outside. Grayson will get you, and then you can show yourselves. If he doesn't look for you, let him be."
"Understood, Young Master." Birch curiously asked, "Are we not keeping an eye on Young Master Grayson anymore?"
"No need to watch him." Sebastian said indifferently, "He won't give up unless all hell breaks loose, and he needs to suffer the consequences to learn. He'd think I'm babying him if I protect him too much, so why not let him suffer it?"
"But…" Birch explained, "Considering Miss Evans' current state, she seems determined to win Young Master Grayson. If we withdraw, she might succeed."
"It's fine," Sebastian assured. "They're at a hospital, freshly out of a car accident. If Ann tries anything on him, he will realize her true colors no matter how foolish he is. Time will tell. Don't worry about it." From NôvelDrama.Org.
Previously, he had people watching Grayson and Ann because he was afraid she would seduce him. When a man and a woman were alone together, it was only inevitable if a spark happened. In a moment of confusion, if Ann took the initiative or played some tricks, they might have serious consequences to deal with.
If they willingly engaged in a romantic relationship, given Grayson's character, he would feel obligated to take responsibility for Ann. Sebastian could prevent his brother from marrying Ann—and it would work—but Grayson would forever carry discontentment and guilt toward her.
In that case, he had to prevent it in advance and not give Ann a chance to use Grayson.
Yet, the situation had changed. Ann was facing imprisonment, and the only place they could be alone was at the hospital—no room for intimacy. In other words, she would have no opportunity to tempt Grayson with lust.
If she wanted to have a relationship with him, she could only scheme against him. To Grayson, she was this beautiful, untouchable figure in his life—gentle, elegant, and almost perfect. Whenever others criticized her, it would be him against the world.
In that case, I'll let him experience how gentle, elegant, and perfect this woman is.
"Okay, I understand, Sir." Birch hung up the phone and returned to Grayson's side. "Sir has agreed, Young Master Grayson. We will wait for you in the car. If you have any orders, please ring my phone."
At that, Grayson nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his older brother agreed. Otherwise, he would not know what to do.
With Birch and Winter leaving, Grayson returned to his room and closed the door. "Miss Ann…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ann rushed forward and kissed him, after which he widened his eyes and forcefully pushed her away. However, she held onto his neck tightly, her expression as determined as a lone wolf.
This was her only and last chance. She had to succeed!
As Grayson struggled, he felt something being put into his mouth. It was soft and slippery, and quickly melted in his mouth, sliding down his throat. Soon, he felt something amiss. His body temperature rose, and his mind became increasingly blurry…
For a moment, Ann held onto Grayson tightly and kissed him. Seeing that he was no longer resisting, she let go of him. At the sight of his confusion and weakened limbs, she pushed him onto the bed and locked the door.
In reality, she had transferred the drug from her mouth to his, causing him to swallow the entire pill. She only absorbed a small amount of the melted drug in her mouth, but she, too, was affected by it.
Her body temperature rose, her head felt dizzy, and her limbs weakened. Fortunately, her mind was clear, and she knew what she was doing. After drawing the curtains, she returned to his side and undressed him…
...
After an unknown amount of time, Grayson was awakened by a knocking sound. Opening his eyes, the first thing he felt was a severe headache. He held his head and let out a groan. After a moment, his consciousness returned, and he remembered what had happened before he fell asleep.
He froze in disbelief as he lowered his head in astonishment.
Ann was lying in his arms, completely naked. His body stiffened, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. How… How could this happen? This is a hospital!
She was in trouble, and he was distraught. He racked his brain to come up with a plan to help her reduce her sentence and escape this disaster, but what did she do?!
She…
She messed up Caitlin so badly by shoving her onto the road, yet she still had the audacity to do such a thing?!
"Open the door! If you don't open up, we'll break it down!" A stern shout came from outside the door.
Grayson snapped out of his shock and pushed Ann a few times. "Someone's here! Hurry up and get dressed!" He hurriedly put on his clothes, and she finally woke up.
The woman was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had succeeded. She could not help but hug her future puppet. "Grayson…"
I'm now Grayson Hart's partner! He must marry me and take responsibility! I can finally escape my miserable fate and make a comeback!
He forcefully pushed her away. "Get dressed now!"
Ann was pushed onto the bed. The knocking outside the door grew louder, and she had no time to argue with him, hastily putting on her clothes.
Once Grayson was dressed neatly, he opened the door.
"Police!" The man standing at the front flashed his badge. "Why are you locking the door in broad daylight?"
The man was rendered speechless.
The police entered the room and detected a peculiar odor. They could not help but furrow their brows and regard Grayson suspiciously. To engage in such behavior at a hospital, and after causing harm to someone, at that! These two gotta be psychos.
Grayson blushed under their scrutinizing gaze, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
