Chapter 394 Being Targeted
Impressed by her ideas, Hernan couldn’t help but ask, “So you’re okay if she poisoned you after the
competition?”
“Yes, I would rather ***of pain after the competition and pass out from the pain. I don’t want to embarrass myself
in the competition…” Mariela cried and rubbed her face against his clothes.
Then, she even sobbed, “Your clothes smell good…”
After saying that, Mariela suddenly froze. She couldn’t believe that she was holding Hernan in her arms,
crying, and wiping her tears on his clothes.
At this time, Paige opened the door of the ward and saw Mariela and Hernan. She revealed a faint smile.
“Ah, no… It’s not what you think…”
Mariela did not expect that she would do such a crazy thing. She quickly released her hand and desperately
explained to Hernan, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lusk, I’m really sorry… I didn’t mean to. Take off your clothes, and I will
wash them for you when we get back…”
“No need.”
Mariela tugged at his clothes, unable to pull them off. She even wanted to ***. She used her hand to wipe the
tears on Hernan’s clothes. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Her voice became softer, and Mariela was still muttering to herself, “I didn’t mean to hug you just now…”
Paige leaned against the door and asked leisurely, “Do you still want the trophy?”
Hearing this, Mariela froze.
Mariela wanted to rush over and take the trophy.
“Be careful.” Hernan grabbed Mariela’s hand. There was still a needle on the back of her hand. If she rushed.
over like this, she would definitely pull the needle.
Mariela suddenly realized something, and her face turned red..
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHernan hurriedly released her hand. He was so anxious that he actually grabbed Mariela’s hand.
Paige watched them with great interest and walked slowly towards them, breaking their dilemma.
“See what this is!”
“The third place? Paige! Does it come from your sympathy? I’m already like that, yet I’m the third winner…”
Mariela’s eyes lit up.
“You only modified the hemline in the third match, but it’s good overall. In addition, you scored more in the
previous two matches.”
Therefore, it was reasonable for Mariela to get third place.
“Really? I got the trophy on my own?” Mariela excitedly hugged Paige.
Paige looked at the back of her hand. Fortunately, the needle wasn’t pulled out. “Well, the other judges have also
scored. The score is very real.”
Paige was pressed against her face and could only say, “Relax. Are you going to strangle me?”
“Paige, I love you!” Mariela hugged Paige like an affectionate cat. Although Mariela could not win the
championship, she was satisfied with third place.
“It’s just that… I didn’t manage to receive the trophy you handed over on the stage…”
“Then you can take it now,” Paige handed the trophy over and said seriously. “Contestant No. 1, Mariela,
congratulations on obtaining the third place.”
Mariela smiled and bent down. She excitedly and respectfully received it. “Thank you, Master Quinn. Thank
you for presenting the award to me.”
“Here, I’ve signed them.” Paige handed her a stack of photos, which were taken by the photographer when she
commented on Mariela during the match today. There were more than ten photos in total.
“I can’t believe it…” Mariela’s eyes were shining. She took the photos excitedly. “Who took this? They look so
good…”
More importantly, there was Paine’s signature behind every photo.
“Do you want to take a photo with me?” Paige asked again.
“Of course!” Mariela nodded desperately. She held the trophy in one hand and the photos in the other. She
even hooked Paige’s arm and decided to take more than a hundred photos.
Paige took out her phone, and the two of them looked at the camera. Mariela found that there was an extra
person inside. She said, a little embarrassed, “Well… I’m sorry, Mr. Lusk. Please move away… Just a little…”
Hernan did not expect that he would be so superfluous. He took two steps to the side and watched the two
girls close together.
Mariela looked at the camera and smiled brightly. Paige also smiled.
Hernan found that women were fickle creatures. One second ago, Mariela was sobbing, but now she was
laughing and taking photos.
Paige had just taken about eight photos when her phone vibrated. She looked at the caller ID on the screen
and whispered, “I have to answer the phone first.”
“OK!” Mariela looked at the trophy in her hand again, unable to hide her joy.
Paige picked up the phone, and a man’s voice came from the other side of the line.
“Boss, did you save someone in the competition today?”
Paige walked to the balcony of the ward and said lightly, “No.”
Then, did you diagnose the illness for someone? Ordinary people have no idea what HN2C is. Today’s competition is
global broadcast live. After you said it, you have been targeted by several forces. You should hurry back to the
country. I am worried…”
“Are you worried that I can’t get out of the country?”
“Boss, it’s serious. Even the ***and Bones have their eyes on you!”
***and Bones was an extremely terrifying mysterious organization. Some people said that they could control a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmajor country for more than a hundred years. It was said that ****and Bones had planned many
world-shaking events.
Simply put, this organization was much more terrifying than the Flame Gang led by Paige, and they had a
different nature.
“Also, ****Base has their eyes on you.” The person on the phone seemed to be very anxious. “In addition,
people from T3 Research Institute are also looking for you…”
T3 Research Institute was a terrifying medical organization. It would research many terrible viruses and conduct
experiments on old people and children. People who were targeted by this institute would either serve the institute
or be killed. No one could escape.
“I will be careful.” When Paige said this, she suddenly noticed that there were more than a dozen people coming
downstairs in a hurry. At a glance, she could tell that they were up to no good.
“Boss, I’ll take a few people to escort you back. At least we can take the bullet for you…”
After all, those who had their eyes on Paige today were all hard to deal with.
“No need. I have something to deal with. I’ll hang up first!”
“What? Boss…”
Before the man could finish speaking, Paige hung up the phone directly. She entered the ward, and Mariela was
suddenly overjoyed, “Paige, have you finished your call? Let’s take a few more pictures…”
“I have something to deal with now. We can take pictures later. Hernan, send Mari back to America, now.”
“Now?” Hernan was a little confused. Mariela still had two bottles of IV drip left, but Paige was in such a hurry to let
them leave. Hernan was afraid that something had happened.
“Yes, the private plane is the fastest way to leave. I have something to do, so I have to go first.”
“Wait, didn’t you say that you would go to our company to take a look?” Hernan asked softly.
“Next time.” after saying that, Paige left the ward without hesitation.
