Chapter 228 Mr. Craig, Stop Seducing Me!
“What can I do for you today?” the doctor inquired.
Marion instinctively looked at Lucas. “She had a bit of alcohol, and someone might have spiked them.”
The doctor frowned. “Does she exhibit any symptoms?”
However, he was the one who spoke first. “Let your wife speak.”
As the doctor prompted, Lucas remained silent.
The victim, Marion, hurriedly said, “I feel hot, thirsty, and can’t sleep,”
“Anything else?” the doctor questioned while listening to her heartbeat and her breathing.
Even though there were other symptoms, Marion found it difficult to articulate her words. Under the
doctor’s scrutiny, she nervously clasped her hands together and said in a shaky voice. “There’s a
strange feeling in my body. It’s hard to describe it, but it’s just not quite normal…”
Did the doctor know what she meant?
“It shouldn’t be a big issue. All you have to do is get an electrocardiogram, check your blood pressure,
and get a blood test. If everything comes back normal, you’re free to go.”
The doctor looked down at the forms. “For a couple like you, something like that doesn’t require a visit
to the hospital.”
The doctor’s words were subtle, but Marion caught what he meant.

emergency room.
Embarrassed, Marion did not know how to leave the examination room. She was like a lost sheep,
allowing Lucas to lead her out.
When it was time to draw blood, Marion hesitated to extend her hand.
“Scared?”
She looked up at him, not admitting but not denying it either.
How could she say something so embarrassing out loud?
Marion trembled as she stared at the needle. At that moment, the alcohol in her body and the effects of
those aphrodisiacs seemed to be gone, leaving her

unusually sober.
“Marion?”
The nurse called her name for the second time. Marion bit her lip, slowly extending her hand like a
snail.
Suddenly, her head was nestled into a warm embrace, and the familiar scent of wood surrounded her.
“Don’t be afraid.”
The man bent down and wrapped her in his arms while his other hand pulled up the sleeve of her wrist.
In a daze, Marion felt a slight sting on her wrist. Then, she heard the nurse say, ” All done.”
Her hand was released, and Marion lifted her head, gazing into those ink–black eyes. “Thank you, Mr.
Craig.”
She just felt a flutter in her heart.
“Mm.” Lucas acknowledged.
With his gaze fixed on her bewildered eyes, he gulped and stood up. “The blood test results will take
half an hour. Let’s go over there and wait.”
Marion avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience and nodded before standing up to walk with him to
the nearby waiting area.
The lingering warmth in her body, coupled with the sluggish response, indicated that the drug had not
completely worn off. Sitting there, Marion did not dare to make any advances on the man beside her.
Yet, despite her efforts to keep her hands to herself, she could not stop him from touching her.
His hand brushed against her forehead, sending a shiver down her spine. “I’m not running a fever, Mr.
Craig.”

She bit her lip, uncertain how to answer that question.
However, she would certainly swear off casual drinking from now on!
“Would you feel better if I held you?”
Marion was trying hard to control herself, yet Lucas had decided to seduce her at that moment!

Was it intentional?
Did he hear her heart fluttering earller?
Lost in thought, Marton suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Lucas had put one arm around her
shoulder while the other hand adjusted her head. “Lean on me.”
Marion bit her lip. “I don’t feel too uncomfortable, really.”
“Well, but it’s still uncomfortable.”
He nodded and fixed the loose strands of hair on her cheek.
Feeling an itch all over her body, Marion quickly pushed him away and looked at him with a pleading
expression. “Mr. Craig, please stop seducing me!”
Her self–control was not that strong!
