Chapter 441 The Family Doctor

Manuel took off his coat and covered Ainsley with it. Then, he carried her out of the cafe.

He gently placed Ainsley on the back seat of the car. "Aisy," he called her with worry.

Before Manuel closed the door, Ainsley leaned over and held Manuel's hands. Although the coat was between them, he could still feel Ainsley's heat.

"I feel so hot," Ainsley gasped and said.

Manuel's fingers trembled, and he helped Ainsley sit back and closed the door.

With a heavy sigh, Manuel sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

He knew that he could not go to the Easton's home, so he took Ainsley to his apartment.

Manuel carried Ainsley up again, and he could feel her temperature getting higher.

He put Ainsley on the bed. Ainsley couldn't help getting close to Manuel and murmured, "I feel so hot..."

In the car, Manuel managed to resist the impulse to hug Ainsley. When she threw herself into his arms again, his mind was in turmoil. He controlled himself not to do anything that he might regret. Manuel took out his phone and dialed a number. "Come to my apartment."

Twenty minutes later, a car stopped at the entrance of Manuel's apartment. A woman went into Manuel's home with a medicine box. "Who is sick?"

"Dr. Lawson, she is inside." Manuel was gloomy.

Elisa Lawson went into the room and found Ainsley's behavior abnormal. "What happened to her?"

Manuel's voice was deep. "She was drugged."

Elisa nodded and did not ask more. She knew what kind of drug it was.

She took out instruments to check Ainsley. Fortunately, because of Serina, Manuel had a lot of medicine and instruments at home.

Elisa injected a tranquilizer for Ainsley and left cooling patches.

"Do you know how much she has taken?" Elisa frowned.

Manuel shook his head. When he entered the room, Ainsley had already been like that. However, she still had willpower, which meant she probably hadn't taken too much.

Elisa looked at Ainsley with worry. "The drug from Portugal is not highly potent but has a long time effect. It will at most stimulate sensation but is not harmful to her body. And there was no antidote. I have giver her a tranquilizer and left you cooling patches. She feels hot now, and it is not convenient for me to wipe her. Where is Serina? You can ask for her help."

"Serina is looking after my grandpa in the hospital. I didn't tell her about this, and I was afraid she would be worried."

"That's true. Remember to help her cool down," Elisa said. She looked at Manuel and then at Ainsley. For a moment, she was speechless.

She pondered for a moment and said, "You have been together for years of break-ups and reconciliations. If you are still together, it's easy. Well, I won't say more. Call me again if there is anything else. I will have someone watch over Mr. Gage. He slipped into a coma in a suspicious way. Have you found out the reason?"

Elisa was forty years old. She was a private doctor of the Gage family and had been taking care of Koen and Manuel.

Manuel shook his head. "No, not yet. Grandpa slipped into a coma after Mr. Wade visited him. It must have something to do with him."

"You are entangled with the Wade family, not only because of Mr. Wade but also," Elisa looked at Ainsley and said hesitantly, "her."

Manuel turned sullen. Daniel had offended him, and Irene could not be spared.

"Dr. Lawson, I will inform you if there is any news."

"Okay, call me if there is anything." Elisa did not speak more and left the apartment.

Ainsley lay on the bed with her eyes tightly closed. However, her knitted brows showed that she was not feeling well.

Manuel sat by the bed with worry and touched Ainsley's forehead. It was hot. He put a cooling patch left by Elisa on her forehead.

Daniel smashed the things in the cafe angrily and drove away after paying the money.

Thinking of what had happened, he was angry.

He called Irene to complain. "Hadn't I told you to detain him? Why did he come to the cafe?"

Hearing Daniel's complaint, Irene knew Manuel had gone to the cafe and successfully taken Ainsley away from Daniel.

"I shouldn't be blamed. I almost succeeded, but a stranger showed up and whispered something to him. Then, Manuel's expression changed. No matter what I said, he insisted on leaving. Don't forget I almost sold out my grandpa to help you detain Manuel. Why are you still unsatisfied?" Irene mocked.

Daniel's tone did not change after he heard Irene's words. He could not think, and his mind was filled with the scene of Manuel carrying Ainsley.

He had tried everything he could to get his prey. He washed it clean and cooked it. However, before he could enjoy it, someone rushed into his home and took it away. That was how Daniel felt at that moment. "Don't forget the plan was jointly made by us. Your mission is to detain him by all means. Irene, did you forget everything when you saw Manuel?" Daniel sneered.

Suddenly, Irene became cold. "Mr. Hume, before saying that, use your head to think about the possibility between him and me. I wondered what the stranger said to Manuel and finally realized it must be something about Ainsley. Nothing else could make him react so strongly, and he even neglected Mr. Gage. If you had prepared everything, how could the stranger appear?"

Daniel fell silent. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't know."

He thought about Ainsley's behavior and asked in confusion, "If what you said is true, even Ainsley probably doesn't know the stranger."

"Did you mean Manuel had sent someone to protect Ainsley?" Irene exhaled deeply.

Daniel had a moment of enlightenment. "Think about what you had done. Maybe too many accidents made Manuel scared, so he arranged for such a man."

Hearing that, Irene wanted to crumble her phone. She hated that Manuel had never been so attentive to her but so guarded against her.

After a while, Irene came to her senses. "What are you going to do?"

"I have to tell you there is no antidote for the drug. Unless Ainsley has enough willpower, something must happen," Daniel said solemnly.

Irene was shocked. "Ainsley won't do anything with Manuel. She is disgusted with what happened between him and me. Their relationship is not as close as it looks."
