---- Chapter 240 As Wendy spoke, she stood up and headed toward the exit. "Looks like Wendy has had too much to drink," Nathaniel chuckled, watching her unsteady steps. "She's practically swaying as she walks." "She's not used to drinking," Gregory said, worried. "She really shouldn't have had so much. Liam, go check on her." Liam nodded and followed Wendy outside. At the same time, Julian also stood and left. Inthe hotel lobby, Wendy steadied herself against a pillar, her legs feeling weak.

Her hand slipped, and she lost control, collapsing toward the floor. However, a warm embrace caught her just in time. She looked up to see Liam's face and couldn't help but smile faintly. "You saved me again." "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Liam's brow furrowed as he looked at her flushed cheeks. Wendy nodded. "I feel dizzy. I think I'm drunk." After steadying herself, she rubbed her eyes, which were starting to see double. Liam glanced outside.

"How about-" ---- Before he could finish, Julian appeared , frowning. "This is a hotel. If Dr. Sanders isn't feeling well, maybe she should rest here for a while." Liam shot hima wary look. Julian shrugged . "All our mentors are still around . Leaving now might spoil the mood." "That's what you think," Liam said coldly. Wendy tugged on Liam's sleeve. "Forget it. Let's just rest here for a bit. I didn't drink much.

I'm just a little dizzy." She was cautious about Julian's behavior, but he had a point. After apologizing in front of so many people today, it would only spark gossip if Liam got into a conflict with him now. Wendy looked at Julian and realized that she had already figured out his game. Liam glanced back at her and nodded. "Alright." When it came to booking the room and checking in, Liam made sure Julian wasn't involved.

Even after the receptionist offered a room, Liam had them switch to a different one. Julian followed at a cautious distance, neither protesting nor interfering. After Liam had helped Wendy into the elevator, Julian approached the receptionist and asked, "My colleague's phone is with me. Which room are they in? I want to pass it to ---- her. The receptionist , unaware of the tension, gave him the room number. Julian smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Upstairs, Liam supported Wendy into the room and helped her lie down. Shortly after, the hotel staff brought some hangover medicine. After taking it, Wendy felt her body growing warmer. Liam touched her forehead. "Are you running a fever?" She opened her eyes, savoring the cool touch of his hand. Before she could speak, the room phone rang. The receptionist's voice came through. "Mr. Harrison, someone named Mr. Hendrix is here looking for you. Please come to the private room right away."
