Chapter 126: Confinement and Control

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

Jane awkwardly excused herself after realizing Hugo might have overheard our conversation. Her face flushed as she quickly gathered her things.

“I should let you rest,” she mumbled, avoiding eye contact.

After she left, Hugo approached my bedside. His expression was calm but concerned.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, checking my pulse with professional precision.

“Better, thanks to you,” I replied, still feeling groggy from the drug’s lingering effects.

Hugo nodded. “I brought you here after finding you unconscious. Nathan had purchased midazolam under the pretense of severe insomnia.”

My blood ran cold. “Midazolam?”

“It’s a drug with hypnotic and sedative effects,” Hugo explained. “When ground into powder and mixed with

alcohol, it becomes even stronger.”

His jaw tightened. “I found it suspicious since Nathan wouldn’t even take moonlight herbs for a cold, let alone seek strong medication for insomnia.”

1 shuddered at how close I’d come to danger. “Thank you for saving me.”

“You don’t need to thank me,” Hugo said quietly.

I managed a weak smile. “Let me treat you to dinner tonight, at least.”

Hugo’s lips curved slightly. “You still owe me a meal from before. I’ll wait until I’m free to collect.”
