Chapter 379:

Theo’s inquiry with his TV station contact revealed Elyse’s location in a specific lounge. He approached the door and knocked, but was met with silence from within. Perplexed, he knocked several times more, but the door remained shut with no sign of anyone coming to open it. Theo tried the doorknob, but it refused to budge as it was locked from the inside. “Elyse, are you in there? Can you open the door for me?” he called out.

As Elyse lay on the floor, her ears perked up at the sound of Theo’s voice outside the door. Her heart sank, filled with a tinge of disappointment. She had been waiting for Jayden, not Theo. She didn’t want to be seen in this state by anyone but Jayden, but her worsening discomfort left her no other choice. Her unease wasn’t due to her burning desires, but rather the sudden pounding rhythm of her heart. She had an ominous feeling that the peril she faced now was far more menacing than any she had encountered in the past, and it sent a chill down her spine.

Theo received only silence in response. Frustrated and worried, he ran out of options and resorted to force, kicking the door with all his might. His loud kicks on the door attracted a crowd of TV crews who came to see what the commotion was all about. After dozens of kicks, the door finally swung open. Theo rushed in and found Elyse lying weakly on the floor. “Elyse!” he yelled. “Are you fine?”

With a worrying rosy glow on her face, Elyse’s lips parted with effort, her voice faint and labored. “I’ve been drugged. Please, get me to the hospital. I feel like I’m slipping away.”

Theo was shocked into silence. No sooner had Elyse uttered those words than her body went limp, her eyes closing as she fell into a deep, unresponsive coma. Unbeknownst to her, the drug’s effects would kick in within thirty minutes after consumption.

“Ambulance! Call the ambulance!” Without wasting any time, he scooped up her limp body, pushed through the throng of people, and sprinted towards the ambulance on standby. As the ambulance rushed to the hospital, Theo called someone to check on the empty glass from the lounge, hoping to identify the drug that harmed Elyse.

No sooner had Theo whisked her away in the ambulance than Jayden arrived at the TV station, having recklessly run four red lights in his haste to get there as quickly as possible. His driver’s eyes welled up, fearing his driving days were over after getting four tickets at once.

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of relief upon learning that Peyton was treating Elyse. However, his relief was short-lived as he soon discovered that the mysterious liquid had caused her heart failure. Without hesitation, he called for an analysis of the water from that glass, determined to uncover the truth behind Elyse’s sudden illness. The staff at the inspection agency informed him that the analysis would take around 12 hours to complete. Hearing that, his expression turned
