Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Catching her breath slightly, Josephine said to Ethan who was on the phone, “Ethan, I-l seem to have mistakenly drunk something. Can you cand pickup?” “What was it? Was it alcohol or was it something else?” Ethan instantly asked in an anxious voice from the other side of the line. “It’s something else. I'm a little dizzy now.” Josephine was already feeling dizzy as she spoke.

“Sendyour location. I'll be there right away,” Ethan stated anxiously. At once, Josephine sent Ethan her location. After that, she swiftly picked up her bag and made her way toward the door.

As for the assistant who stood guard outside the door, she was shocked when she saw Josephine push the door open and walk out. Panic instantly crept in and she anxiously pulled the other woman over. “Miss Jacobson, where are you going?” “Let go of me!” Josephine yelled angrily before she shoved the female assistant’s hand away and sprinted toward the hallway. Since the female assistant didn’t expect Josephine would sense something was wrong so quickly, she hurriedly chased after Josephine. She can’t leave! Dane is in the underground parking lot right now and he will cup shortly! “Miss Jacobson, don’t leave yet. Mr. Cooke will be here soon.” Nevertheless, Josephine ignored her, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the close button. Before the female assistant caught up to her, she had already taken the elevator down.

Stepping out of the elevator with her mobile phone in her hand, she gasped as she walked toward the entrance of the club. Her body felt somewhat weak and her steps seemed to have beclight as soon as she was outside the building. She held onto a lamppost before she noticed the bus stop next to her. Without delay, she sat down on the bench at the bus stop and waited for Ethan.

While Josephine was waiting at the bus stop, Ethan's car rushed toward the club like a ferocious tiger. He was utterly tensed as he stared at the navigation and watched himself getting closer to the destination. At the stime, Ethan had notified his bodyguards, who were never around him, to meet him at the club. For that reason, three cars carrying his bodyguards drove out from the nearby hotel at this moment.

Josephine, please be alright! Ethan prayed in his heart ES x 3 drove. Ethan's car was about to reach the club.

After making a turn, he suddenly caught sight of a woman sitting on a bench at the bus stop just as he was about to head to the club.

He took a glance at the woman, and he immediately stepped on the brakes when he realized who she was. It's Josephine! Ethan quickly got out of the car and cto Josephine’s side. Then, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. “Josephine... wake up.” At this moment, Josephine felt her body burning like a fire. When Ethan's face appeared before her eyes without warning, she stretched out her arms and hugged his waist, feeling uncomfortable. Nuzzling her face in his arms, she whimpered like a little puppy. “Ethan, | feel uncomfortable... Hug me.” Just then, the bodyguards’ cars immediately followed suit and pulled over. Eight bodyguards got out of the car in unison. “Who was the person that spiked your drink?” Ethan held back his anger and asked through gritted teeth.

“His nis Dane Cooke, and he is Vital Corp.'s vice president. He is... inside the club now,” Josephine replied before she hugged Ethan again. “Takeaway! | feel uncomfortable.” “Go in there and look for this guy. Once you guys find him, beat him up but don’t let him die.” After giving his order, Ethan reached out and carried Josephine in his arms before getting into the car. With that, six bodyguards swiftly headed into the club while the remaining two drove the car, escorting Ethan and Josephine from the area.

Sitting in the spacious back passenger seat,. Josephine kept touching Ethan's chest. Meanwhile, Ethan held her hand and coaxed softly, “Joey, hold on for a bit longer, okay? I’m taking you to the hospital.” “No... Let's go to the hotel,” Josephine murmured. What she badly wanted right now was him instead of going to the hospital for an intravenous drip.

“Joey, stop it. We are going to the hospital,” Ethan muttered, his voice restrained. After hearing that, she raised her head and cupped his face. Although her body was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she had a pulsing thought in her heart.

“I want to go to the hotel with you.” The words that escaped her lips sounded resolute despite her eyes being glassy. “Are you sure?” Ethan gulped. She really does wantto help her, doesn’t she? “Yes,” Josephine nodded. “Drive to the nearby hotel,” Ethan immediately gave his order to the bodyguards in front. As soon as they received the order, the bodyguard that was behind the wheel swiftly sped into the underground parking lot of a five- star hotel.

Ethan exited the car with Josephine in his arms while the bodyguards immediately went to the lobby to obtain a room card.

In less than two minutes, the bodyguards finished the check-in procedure and delivered the room card to Ethan. With Josephine in his arms, Ethan took. the room card and entered the elevator.
