Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 251

What was that then?

Max had never really mulled over romantic feelings, and his parents‘ union was even less about grand promises and soulful connections. He leaned back in the rear seat, silent, feeling his head heavy and fuzzy.

As they were about to get out of the car, Kenzo called out his name. “Max?”

But there was no response from Max, prompting Kenzo to open the door and call Patrick over.

Max was rushed straight into the ER, with Patrick pacing anxiously outside until the Dorsey clan arrived. The first to show up were William and Ryan, the latter with a smile plastered on his face. He had just been in a tizzy over a kidnapping video of Spencer, but as soon as he heard Max was in the hospital, all his gloom vanished, a sly smile tugging at his lips, feigning concern. “Patrick, is Max alright? What could have caused him to faint so suddenly?”

The drug Ryan had procured was listed as a banned substance by the World Medical Association. Once it kicked in, it would do nothing but exhaust a person, making them want to sleep incessantly. And if death were to occur, it would be chalked up to overwhelming stress or sheer exhaustion. It seemed Brielle was playing along, taking action already.

William cast a meaningful glance at Ryan but quickly looked away, his gaze fixed on the ER with feigned concern.

Patrick, well aware of their ulterior motives, still had to maintain a facade of harmony. “Mr. Dorsey must be exhausted. He didn’t rest at all during those days abroad.”
