Chapter 145 A Way You Need Most in Your Life
If one asked Ebony what was the most memorable day for her, she would say without hesitation that it was the day she was reborn.
A bullet shot into her temple, making a scorching smell give off and not dissipate for a long time.
At the time when she was about to fall down, she was reborn and saw Draven's fat and ugly face.
Victor framed her up and sent her to Draven. She forced herself to resist the giddiness caused by the drug, then used an ashtray and a knife to prevent Draven from getting close to her, and ran out for help.
In the hallway, she bumped into someone.
Her mind was blank at that time.
And her eyes were blurring due to the effect of the drug.
She tried her best to identify the man's face.
She confirmed that the blurred face was not of Victor.
But her scattered consciousness made her no longer able to identify precisely who the man was.
She fainted in the man's arms, and the last thing she said to him was to call the police for her.
Then she woke up in the hospital.
The nurse informed her that the medical expenses had been paid and that she could leave at any time.
What happened that day was vivid in her mind.
Thinking of that, Ebony slowly turned her eyes to Lloyd.
The man who rescued her that day was really Lloyd?
Lloyd was looking at her at the moment.
His eyes were deep with mixed feelings.
Elvin didn't know the situation, so he frowned and asked, "Which drug?"
Ivan explained briefly, "The doctor said it was a hallucinogenic drug, colorless and tasteless, but fortunately, there was no aphrodisiac ingredient in it..."
"Ivan." Lloyd suddenly stopped Ivan.
Ivan had to shut up.
This kind of thing, for girls, was disgraceful.
Unexpectedly, Ebony didn't seem to care about whether it was disgraceful or not, and said frankly, "Someone gave me a bottle of water that day. I was not defensive and drank it. After a while, I fainted, and when I woke up, I found someone was taking off my clothes..."
"Wait a minute."
Elvin interrupted her and asked coldly, "Who was he?"
Ebony responded, "Are you asking who was the one who gave me the water, or who was the one who took off my clothes?"
Being taken aback for a moment, Lloyd suddenly frowned.
Elvin slammed the table, "Ebony!"
Ebony looked at Elvin and said, "It was Victor who gave me water, and Draven who took off my clothes."
Lloyd's forehead was bunched in a frown.
Elvin thought for a while, but couldn't remember who Victor and Draven were.
So he took out his phone and started to search on the Internet, asking Ebony, "Who?"
Ebony repeated the two names, and then said, "Don't worry. They didn't succeed. I ran away in time."
Elvin looked through the information of the two men. When watching the news about Draven, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Draven was arrested for taking drugs a few months ago."
Ebony was stunned, and looked at Elvin abruptly.
Elvin handed over the phone to her and said, "Look at here. He was reported and then was caught on the spot. Now he is in prison."
Ebony frowned.
Ivan leaned over at this time to read the news.
After reading it, Ivan suddenly looked in the direction of Lloyd with his face full of incredulity.
Lloyd didn't speak. He just lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Elvin asked Ebony, "It's your enemy anyway. Why didn't you pay attention to his situation?"
Ebony shook her head, "Of course I will pay attention to him, but it's not the right time now..."
Ebony had memories of her previous life. She knew that half a year later, Draven would be arrested for transporting, distributing and taking drugs as well as seducing others to take drugs. He would try to run away by taking a hostage when the police got to the place where he took drugs, but he would be shot dead by the police at the scene.
Watching the news on Elvin's mobile phone, Ebony frowned regretfully, "Why did they report him? It's not good news for me!"
Lloyd, "..."
Hesitating a little, Lloyd looked at her and asked, "He went to jail. Why is it not good news?"
Ebony didn't know how to explain it to Lloyd, and could only say, "I hope he would spend more money to hire a good lawyer and get out of prison soon."
She hoped he would get out of prison and be shot dead by the police after half a year!
Ebony didn't want to talk about this at the moment.
She returned the phone to Elvin, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and said, "Let's eat."
Elvin didn't know what to say when he saw her like this.
During the meal, Elvin put all the food toward Ebony.
However, Ebony was thinking about anything else. She had never been so distracted while eating.
She looked up at Lloyd from time to time.
She kept doing that.
After being looked at by Ebony for a few times, Lloyd put down his chopsticks and stared at her.
Ebony also put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said to Lloyd, "Thank you."
Lloyd made no reply.
Ebony lowered her head, saying, "I remember that day when I came out of the hospital and met you in the elevator, I even yelled at you. You must have thought that I was ungrateful, right?"
Lloyd couldn't say anything serious to her, and only said softly, "No."
Ebony plucked the tissue in her hand with her fingers and asked with some guilt on her face, "Why didn't you tell me at that time? If I has known that you were the one who saved me, I wouldn't scold you in my heart when you were poisoned by alcohol in the elevator."
Lloyd, "..."
Ebony said, "I would not dislike you for being sick and want to secretly abandon you during Amazing Tour."
Lloyd, "..."
Ebony, "I would not think you were so squeamish that you slowed down my progress in completing the task and you were in my way when you and I were in the same team."
Lloyd, "..."
Ebony continued, "I would not even want to throw you to Belinda and think that I could finally get rid of you when we met Belinda..."
"...Okay." Lloyd suddenly interrupted Ebony. He took a deep breath and said, "That's enough."
Ebony looked at Lloyd and asked sincerely, "If I don't say it, will you understand my regret?"
Lloyd shook his head, "I don't think you feel regretful at all."
Lloyd's words shocked her, so Ebony was about to explain.
Elvin couldn't listen to her anymore, saying, "Please be quiet! He's going to die of anger!"
Ebony, "..."
Ebony could only shut up and continued to lower her head to eat the hot pot.
Even when finishing eating, Ebony's eyes were still fixed on Lloyd.
When getting into the car, Ebony asked Elvin to sit in the front, so she and Lloyd could sit in the back.
Lloyd looked at her expressionlessly.
After the car started, Ebony suddenly said, "Lloyd, since you saved my life, I will definitely repay you for your kindness. Although I don't have the money, I can repay you in other ways!"
Ivan was really shocked by her words.
Elvin suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Lloyd also looked at Ebony, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Other ways?"
Ebony nodded, "A way you need most in your life. With it, you will feel totally comfortable."
Lloyd's expression changed, "You..."
Ebony said confidently, "I plan to give you a medical insurance package! I will give you acupuncture personally. Don't worry! I'm an expert in acupuncture. Through acupuncture and moxibustion, I can help you prevent middle-aged diseases, hair loss, baldness and endocrine disorders, and can also help you strengthen your immune system. I guarantee that you will be comfortable and healthy in the next week after you receive the the acupuncture and moxibustion!"
Lloyd, "..."
