Chapter 26
She was the type to make men fall in love with her at first sight. Thus, she was shocked to learn that Dustin had forgotten about her after just one night. Was her presence so insignificant?
"Um… you do look familiar. I think I've seen you somewhere." Dustin tried to dig through his memories.
"Yesterday, at the hospital. You treated my grandfather. Do you remember now?" The girl uttered 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 out of exasperation. She wanted to step on the gas pedal and run Dustin over with her car. All this time, she'd never been treated this way. How insulting!
"I'm sorry. Ms. Ruth, are you looking for me for some reason?" Dustin quickly changed the topic.
"Of course! Why would I be here otherwise?" 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 ordered in an unfriendly tone.
Helplessly, Dustin got into the car and then left under the jealous gaze of the passersby.
After half an hour, the car finally pulled over in front of a luxurious building called Java Joys. The place boasted a large backyard, which not only had hot springs but also a garden and a swimming pool. Meanwhile, the main entrance was guarded by security 24/7.
"Follow me." Upon getting out of the car, Ruth led the way, and they hurriedly made it to a bedroom. At this moment, inside the private bathroom was Natasha, who was dressed in a business suit while she soaked in a bathtub full of ice cubes.
Her face was flushed, her gaze blurry, and her breathing was labored. As her chest rose and fell, it caused ripples in the water.
"Ms. Harmon, what happened to you?" Dustin walked over and was stunned the moment he noticed that she wasn't wearing anything under her suit. While it wasn't obvious at first, certain parts of her skin became visible when the fabric was slowly soaked with water. Like any other man, Dustin found it hard to resist when a stunning woman like Natasha was 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…" As she spoke, she put out her wrist.
With an observant look, Dustin was fast to find out the issue. "Ms. Harmon, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like you've been drugged. And with a potent aphrodisiac at that."
"Bullshit! Who would drug my sister?" Ruth scolded.
"What do I do now, Mr. Rhys?" asked Natasha 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 get up. However, as soon as she took a step out of the bathtub, she slipped and collapsed into Dustin's arms. Subconsciously, Dustin's reflex kicked in, and his hands shot out to hold her, and they just so happened to touch her chest. Natasha felt as though she had been hit by a bolt of lightning. At that moment, both of them froze in place.
Dustin's mind was blank, but Natasha's expression was agitated. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her breathing hitched. The fire inside her had only gotten bigger.
Without a warning, Natasha parted her lips and raised her head, surging upward to kiss Dustin.
"Hey! What are you guys doing in broad daylight? Aren't you embarrassed?" Ruth, who was at the door, let out a scream at this sight. She covered her face with her hand, but her curious eyes couldn't help peeking through her fingers, and she watched the two of them kiss intimately.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Dustin instantly came to his senses and rushed to push Natasha away. His face was etched with awkwardness. Everything happened so quickly that he hadn't had time to think.
It's okay. It was my fault. The drug might have been too strong, as I really couldn't control myself," Natasha replied coyly. While speaking, she cast a glare at Ruth, silently cursing her sister for ruining the rare opportunity for her to get a man.
"Ruth could've just left. Why did she have to scream? I'm cutting her allowance this month!" thought Natasha.
"Ruth, help your sister to lie on the bed," instructed Dustin.
"Hmph! Of course, I will. Did you think you could take advantage of her again?" With a roll of her eyes, Ruth went to hold the grumpy Natasha and walked her to the bed.
"Ms. Harmon, please remove your shirt and lie on your front," Dustin added.
"What? You pervert, what are you trying to do!" Ruth's anger immediately flared.
"Don't get me wrong. I have to use a needling method to extract the toxins from your sister's body. Otherwise, she'd get worse over time, to the point where she'd lose control," Dustin patiently explained.
"Are you serious? You're not trying to scare me, are you?" Ruth looked skeptical.
"Why would I lie to you about this?" Dustin was in disbelief.
"Fine. I will trust you for once. But you have to look away. Don't peek!" warned Ruth.
"Okay." Without saying much, Dustin turned around.
"Natasha put on your bra. You can't let him do anything to you," Ruth said as she handed Natasha her bra.
"Ah… How considerate of you, Ruth." Natasha's voice sounded strained.
"Don't mention it. Come, let me help you." Smugly, Ruth quickly helped Natasha. Then, the latter gave her a look and said, "I think you can head out now. Don't disturb Mr. Rhys from treating me."
"No way! What if he tries to lay his hands on you? I must watch him closely!" Ruth rejected her instantly. Natasha's eye twitched, feeling helpless with her upright sister. Why was the girl so dense? She had to teach her a lesson later,
"Hey, Rhys, you can look now." After getting Ruth's permission, Dustin turned around at last. Natasha was lying obediently on her front, her smooth and fair back exposed. Her ass, waist, and neck nearly formed a line of perfect curves. At first glance, she looked like an exquisite piece of artwork.
"What are you waiting for? Get to work!" Ruth yelled from the side, staring at him firmly. Dustin regained his composure and took out his needles, sitting by the bedside to start treating Natasha.
Even though the aphrodisiac was potent, it wasn't difficult to treat once it was discovered. The only problem was that Natasha's body was too alluring. Added to her charmingly flustered expression, his heart couldn't help skipping a beat.
Fortunately, Dustin possessed excellent concentration. He only focused on the important parts to resist her allure.
Around 15 minutes later, Dustin breathed a long sigh and removed the needles from Natasha's back. "Ms. Harmon, your body is free of toxins now. You can flush out the remaining drugs by drinking more water."
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Rhys." Natasha smiled shyly. On her flawless face was a lingering seductiveness. It was like sweet wine–so intoxicating.
"Natasha, hurry up and put on your shirt!" Ruth immediately wrapped her sister up tightly, fearing that she would be taken advantage of.
"Ms. Harmon, the aphrodisiac you're drugged with is very similar to the one your grandfather was poisoned with. Based on my judgment, it must have been the same culprit," Dustin suddenly said.
"No wonder I felt something amiss." Natasha nodded thoughtfully.
"It can't go on like this. To avoid similar incidents like this, we must find out the person behind this as soon as possible," Dustin advised.
