Chapter 317 Alexa Feels Aggrieved
Jarrett had a satisfied smile on his face.
He was not interested in Alexa, but getting her was equivalent to getting half of the Duran family.
Jarrett didn't mind being with a second-hand woman if he could get such a generous reward.
Alexa was very resistant to him. The atmosphere was getting extremely intimate, and at the same time,
things were getting dangerous for her.
"Ms. Duran."
Hearing this calm voice, Alexa immediately opened her eyes and looked over, as if she had grasped a
life-saving straw.
Jarrett looked at the comer with a displeased expression.
Finley slowly walked over. He ignored Jarrett's gaze and was indifferent to his displeasure.
"Dr. McMillan, you came at the right time," Jarrett said sarcastically.
"Mr. Sheldon, Ms. Duran is going to take the medicine," Finley said calmly.
Alexa walked quickly to Finley's side without the slightest hesitation.
"Dr. McMillan, let's go," she urged.
Finley moved sideways to make way. After Alexa left, he slowly followed.
When she returned to her room, Alexa's face was still pale.
If Finley hadn't come just now, she couldn't imagine what would have happened.
"Finley, thank you." Alexa pretended to be calm and thanked him.
However, Finley did not reply and prepared the medicine for her.
Then he handed the pill and warm water over, but Alexa was still sitting by
the bed in a daze, not taking the medicine.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Finley frowned and immediately put down the medicine. He turned to check her pulse.
"Your heart is beating a little fast. Try to relax," he said professionally and coldly. "Take a deep breath
according to my instructions."
Before he finished speaking, Finley was stunned.
Alexa's fair face was full of tear marks, and her eyes were red and swollen, looking extremely
aggrieved.
"I don't want to be here. I want to go back to New York," she choked with sobs.
Alexa was brought here for no reason, and she was sold as if she were a commodity.
Just thinking about it made Alexa's mind a mess. And more tears streamed down her face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe really wanted Terrence to be here right now. She could hug him, kiss him, or even speak to him.
But no one was here but Finley, who was like an emotionless robot.
But a moment later, a cell phone was handed to Alexa, followed by a neatly folded handkerchief.
"You can contact him on my phone."
Alexa looked up in shock. A few strands of hair were stuck to her face with tears. Her current look was
a bit messy.
"You..."
"Five minutes."
Alexa did not waste any time and immediately took it.
Finley's mobile phone was so simple that Alexa could only make a phone
call or send a message.
He did not save Terrence's contact information, so Alexa entered
Terrence's phone number.
However, life seemed to have joked with her.
For a moment, she could not remember anything.
"It's impossible..."
Alexa silently muttered, trying to recall Terrence's number.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember Terrence's
phone number.
"What's wrong?"
Finley spoke softly, interrupting her thoughts.
Alexa looked up in horror and muttered in disbelief.
"Finley, I... I don't remember his phone number."
However, she had only left New York for less than two days.
"Ms. Duran, perhaps you are too tired. You need to have a good rest," Finley
said objectively.
Alexa was lost in thought. At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Without waiting for her to respond, the person opened the door and entered
the room.
Christina looked suspiciously at them before her gaze became colder.
"Why don't you accompany Mr. Sheldon?"
Christina's question made Alexa feel sick.
"When I see him, I feel nauseous," Alexa said with a cold expression. "You
don't want me to throw up on him, do you?"
Hearing this, Christina looked furious.
"He is an important customer of the Duran family and your future husband."
"I don't think so. You can marry anyone to him. I don't want to get involved,"
Alexa refused.
"You..."
Christina was so angry that she didn't know how to answer.
"Don't forget that your medical fees are paid by me and your father."
"Oh, you can withdraw your investment at any time. I don't mind." Alexa
nodded calmly.
They did not get along well.
In the end, they ended their conversation unhappily.
When Christina left, an assistant hurriedly ran over and said a few words in
her ear.
Christina's expression changed, and she immediately took her people away.
After they left, the atmosphere in the room eased a little.
Finley handed over the medicine. Alexa glanced at it and directly
swallowed the bitter pills.
"Finley, how much time do I have?"
"Why are you asking? Did I do something wrong?" Finley was a little
surprised.
He looked like a good woman who was afraid to be dismissed.
Alexa couldn't bear to make things difficult for him.
"I just think that your medical skills are superb, so you don't have to waste
your time on me. Curing me will make you feel frustrated."
"Why will I feel frustrated?"
He looked so pure that he did not have any evil thoughts.
Alright, he and I don't think alike, Alexa thought.
Not long after, Alexa yawned lazily.
"I want to sleep."
"Alright."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinley nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa not far away.
Anyway, he could not go out.
Alexa pretended that Finley did not exist and slept as usual.
After confirming that Alexa had fallen asleep, Finley silently got up.
He quietly walked to the bedside and took out the silver needle bag he
carried with him.
Then he inserted the slender silver needle into the back of her hand. Alexa
reflexively frowned but did not wake up.
Finley looked calm and did not panic at all.
He specially added some tranquilizers to the medicine. Alexa should have
a good sleep.
After that, Finley took out his phone and sent a message to an unknown
number.
"She's fine."
After the message was sent, Finley blocked the number and cleared all the
traces.
In the quiet room, everything went as usual.
At this time, Terrence left the conference room with a sullen look.
Edwin quickly asked someone to track down the number, but he got
nothing.
"Mr. Ramsey, the other party has deleted all the information. We can't trace
it."
Terrence did not reply and frowned slightly, looking sullen.
He knew that that person must be beside Alexa.
Who would be able to contact the outside world under Christina's control?
"Mr. Ramsey..."
Edwin's whisper immediately dragged Terrence back to reality.
"Go on with the check, but don't alert them."
"Mr. Ramsey, the Duran Group has already filed a lawsuit against us, hoping
to take back the custody of Mr. Damarion."
"Let them try." Terrence's voice was extremely cold.
His patience had worn out.
