Chapter 418: To Uncover the Full Truth
Rain stayed by Alexander’s side at the hospital, watching over him as he remained unconscious. Dr. Lambert had given him something to flush the drug out of his system. What Carla had given him was a version of the oxytocin drug, but stronger, designed to cause hallucinations.
While she sat beside his bed, Rain received updates on the situation. She also watched the news in their VIP room and learned that the President had passed out. She felt a pang of sympathy for the old man, but there was no way she would let Carla off the hook for what had happened.
Not after they uncovered that Carla was the one Rico’s man had contacted.
As Rain sat in thought, Alexander began to stir. Slowly, his eyes opened, and he groggily glanced around.
"You’re finally awake," Rain said with a gentle smile, relief flooding her chest.
Alexander groaned. "Ugh, that drug is really something. I thought I was going to lose it."
He weakly attempted to sit up, but Rain quickly moved to help him, adjusting him so he was more comfortable. She sat beside him, brushing her fingers across his cheek in a comforting gesture.
"You did great," she said softly. "Carla is now being questioned, and Brandon confirmed her detention. Eric has already filed charges against her. Clifford also succeeded in leaking all the video footage."
Alexander chuckled lightly, a tired grin spreading across his face. "Wow, you’re pretty terrifying when it comes to your enemies."
Rain raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in her eyes. "Only when they deserve it." Rain’s expression hardened slightly as she continued to stroke Alexander’s cheek.
"It’s you who still did the final execution. I just simply helped out," Rain said with a grin. She leaned back in her chair as she recalled the events. She had told Alexander that Carla might still try to make a move and the event tonight could be a perfect opportunity for her. To make sure, she coordinated things with Sebastian together with Alexander to ensure strict security and had enough camera footages in place in the hotel.
