---- Chapter 242 Wendy suddenly heard Liam's voice, and she felt like a fish thrown back into water. She gasped sharply as if she could finally breathe again. She opened her eyes, grabbed Liam's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Did you see anyone leave the room just now?" He frowned slightly and shook his head. "No, I didn't see anyone leave. What's going on?" After taking a deep breath to steady her fear, Wendy said ina shaky tone, "Julian drugged me.

It's some kind of stimulant, but it also numbs my nerves." Such drugs were known among criminals as aphrodisiacs. Liam was momentarily stunned. "I'll take you to the hospital right now." With that, he helped her sit up and put on her shoes. Then, he headed for the door. "T'll carry you downstairs." Wendy refused. "No, I need to keep my head clear. I'll walk." He nodded and supported her as they quickened their pace.

In situations like this, when someone was drugged with an aphrodisiac , the first place to go was the hospital. It was not like in fiction, where sleeping with someone would magically make it better. ---- Intimate contact at a time like this could even seriously increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Both Wendy and Liam were doctors and understood just how dangerous these drugs could be. However, neither of them knew exactly what kind of drug Julian had used.

They hadn't gone far when they ran into a group coming out of a private room. Gregory immediately noticed Wendy's discomfort and hurried over. "Wendy, what's wrong?" Liam pressed his lips together, debating whether to reveal the truth. If it were just Gregory, he wouldn't worry about Wendy's reputation being damaged. While he hesitated, Julian appeared behind Nathaniel, his face twisted with smug anticipation. Wendy spotted him instantly , and the look on his face made her furious.

Julian was confident neither she nor Liam would reveal the truth, as it was a scorched-earth tactic. He was secretly thrilled. It seemed Wendy hadn't suffered too badly, and the others just noticed something was off. But Julian didn't look guilty at all. There was even a faint smile tugging at the corner of his ---- lips. Liam was cautious, but Wendy's mind was clear. She pointed a trembling finger at Julian and said, "You put stimulants in my drink, didn't you?

As a medical student, don't you know mixing alcohol with stimulants can kill someone?" Julian froze, and the smile on his face vanished. He hadn't expected her to call him out in front of everyone. He denied flatly, "I didn't. How could I do something like that? Don't forget that I apologized to you in front of everyone and toasted you. If something happened to you, do you think I would get away with it?" He spoke calmly without a hint of embarrassment.

Wendy scoffed , but before she could respond, Julian cut her off. "Besides, you were out of the room for quite a while. Who knows what you did? How can you blame everything on me?" He was trying to close off the conversation , sure that Wendy had no other proof. Wendy stared him down. "Are you still trying to deny it? Do you want to check the surveillance footage to see what you did today?" Julian shrugged confidently. "Sure. Let's check the footage.

If there's nothing there, what compensation will you offer for falsely accusing me, Dr. Sanders?" ---- His words made her frown deeply. After this exchange, she felt the drug's effects ease a bit, but she was still unsure what to do next.
