Chapter 28

She was the type to make men fall in love at first sight. Therefore, she was shocked to learn that Dustin had forgotten her after just one night. Was her presence so insignificant?

“Um… you do look familiar. I think I’ve seen you somewhere,” Dustin said, trying to dig through his memories.

“Yesterday, at the hospital. You treated my grandfather. Do you remember now?” The girl asked through gritted teeth.

“Oh! You’re Natasha’s sister, Roth. Am I right?”

“Who the hell are you calling Roth? My name is Ruth! Ruth Harmon!” Ruth nearly exploded with exasperation. She wanted to run Dustin over with her car. She’d never been treated this way. How insulting!

“I’m sorry, Ms. Harmon. Are you looking for me for some reason?” Dustin quickly changed the subject.

“Of course! Why else would I be here?” Ruth rolled her eyes and ordered, “Hurry up and get in the car. Natasha has fallen sick and is demanding to see you.”

“Hmm? What happened to her?”

“How would I know? You’re the doctor. You should go and find out. Now, get in!” Ruth snapped.

Helplessly, Dustin got into the car and left under the jealous gazes of passersby.

After half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a luxurious building called Java Joys. The place boasted a large backyard with hot springs, a garden, and a swimming pool. The main entrance was guarded by 24/7 security.

“Follow me.” Ruth led the way, and they hurried to a bedroom. Inside the private bathroom, Natasha was soaking in a bathtub full of ice cubes, dressed in a business suit.

Her face was flushed, her gaze blurry, and her breathing labored. Her chest rose and fell, causing ripples in the water.

“Ms. Harmon, what happened to you?” Dustin walked over and was stunned to notice she wasn’t wearing anything under her suit. While not immediately obvious, parts of her skin became visible as the fabric soaked with water. Like any other man, Dustin found it hard to resist such a stunning woman in this state.

“Mr. Rhys, you’re here…” Natasha opened her hazy eyes and spoke with difficulty. “My body feels so hot. I’m so thirsty and in pain… It feels like my chest is on fire. Quick, help me find out what’s wrong…” She held out her wrist.

Observant, Dustin quickly diagnosed the issue. “Ms. Harmon, if I’m not mistaken, it looks like you’ve been drugged. With a potent aphrodisiac, at that.”

“Bullshit! Who would drug my sister?” Ruth scolded.

“What do I do now, Mr. Rhys?” Natasha asked lethargically.

“Although it’s a special case, it can be treated. But we must move you to a bed. It won’t be easy to treat you in this bathtub.” Dustin signaled for her to get up.

Natasha nodded, struggling to rise. However, as soon as she took a step out of the tub, she slipped and collapsed into Dustin’s arms.

Subconsciously, Dustin’s reflexes kicked in, and his hands caught her, accidentally touching her chest. Natasha felt as though she’d been hit by lightning. Both froze.

Dustin’s mind was blank, but Natasha’s expression was agitated. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her breathing hitched. The fire inside her intensified.

Without warning, Natasha parted her lips and kissed Dustin.

“Hey! What are you guys doing in broad daylight? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Ruth screamed from the doorway. She covered her face, but her curious eyes peeked through her fingers as she watched them kiss.
