To her surprise, as she hurriedly ran down the stairs after answering a phone call, Avery collided with Lena , who had slapped her half a month ago. When she saw Lena Blackwood, she intended to slow down, but due to her speed, she couldn't stop in time and collided with her. Both of them fell to the ground, and since they had just recovered from their previous injuries to their buttocks, they fell on their buttocks again, causing them to cry out in pain.
"Ouch, my waist... why are you so reckless?"
"Ow, my butt..."
Avery got up from the ground and found that the noblewoman lying in front of her was Lena Blackwood. She instantly recalled the night half a month ago. Was she coming to settle the score with her? Thinking of this, Avery felt a chill in her heart. However, she did not forget to help Lena up.
"Auntie , are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Does it hurt here or there?"
Avery ran up to her and helped her up from the ground. She patted Lena's waist, then touched her buttocks, and said seriously, "I still have some unused ointment upstairs that Dr. Frederick gave me. It's very effective. Should I go get it for you now?"
As she spoke, she turned around and was about to run back upstairs. Lena Blackwood clearly saw the guilty look on Avery's face. This little brat clearly wanted to avoid her. Before Avery could run too far, Lena Blackwood, in pain, grabbed her buttocks and shouted sternly, "Avery Wells, come back here!"
"Ma'am, are you really okay?"
Avery turned around tremblingly. She was a little afraid of the lady in front of her. What if this woman gets angry and carries back to the Blackwood family's residence, only to be beaten up again? She doesn't want to lie in bed for another half month, feeling uncomfortable and unable to go anywhere. She can't even wash herself properly, relying on the maid to help her clean her body. After being able to walk yesterday, she spent a few hours in the bathroom. Having not properly washed for half a month, she took a long shower.
Now, Lena Blackwood has probably recovered and has come to find her, making her a little scared. Seeing that Avery was timid, Lena's face darkened: "Why are you so afraid of me? Am I a tiger or lion that will eat you?"
"No, no," Avery quickly explained. She dare not offend this woman, even though last time Ethan hit Lena for her, after all, Lena is an elder, and an aunt is still an aunt.
"Since you're not, come over and sit down properly. I have something to say to you." Lena glares at Avery Wells, turns around and walks to the sofa, sits down, and pats her clothes corner hard. She has always been fastidious, and that fall just now almost broke her heart. The clothes she just changed into were so expensive, both in terms of fabric and brand, and they were limited edition.
Damn it, this Avery Wells is so rash and timid, how can she be qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Blackwood family? If it weren't for Ethan's protection, she would have been kicked out of the house long ago. Although after the incident half a month ago, Lena's heart is still on Ethan's side, she still doesn't like Avery Wells.
Unfortunately, Avery Wells still didn't listen to Lena Blackwood and hesitated in her place, "Um... Ma'am..."
Lena's face darkened, "Ethan calls me 'Auntie', as his wife, what should you call me? Do you need me to teach you?"
"Auntie, Auntie," Avery quickly corrected herself upon hearing this.
"Come here, sit down and talk to me." Avery tightened her grip on her phone, looking troubled, "Auntie, I have something urgent to attend to. Can we talk when I come back?"
It was really urgent. Ten minutes ago, Sandra suddenly called her and asked her to come and save her. She could hear several men's voices on the phone at the time, and Avery Wells was worried about her friend. Afraid that something had really happened to her, she hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs. That was why she had collided with Lena just now.
Seeing Avery's reluctance, Lena suppressed her anger, "I came here to talk to you in person, and you're making me, an elder, wait for you?"
Just as she was speaking, Sandra's number popped up again, urgently. Avery considered that something bad might have really happened, and she couldn't care less about whether Lena would be angry or not. She said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I have something really urgent to attend to. I'll talk to you when I come back," and ran out of the living room.
"This child is becoming more and more disrespectful to me"
Lena Blackwood stood up, her charming face showing a displeased expression. It took her almost half a month to accept this girl, but she didn't expect that her kindness would be ignored.
"She's really no match for Audrey!"
After running out, Avery quickly pressed the answer button on her phone: "Sandra, are you okay? What happened? Where are you now? Where should I go to find you?"
"Avery, I'm in a dark room. Please come and save me. I think I ate something wrong. I feel hot all over and I'm very uncomfortable. I feel so uncomfortable..." Ate something wrong and feeling hot all over! She must have been drugged, just like what happened to Ethan last time. Avery's back felt cold, and she left the house with her phone.
"Sandra ,send me your location, and I'll come to you right away."
"Okay, please come quickly. Also, please bring a doctor. I'm really uncomfortable..." The call was cut off, and Avery waited on the side of the road for a while before receiving the location information sent by Li Zhiyuan. Just then, a taxi stopped in front of her:
"Miss, do you need a ride?"
"Yes!" Avery quickly got into the car, and in her haste, she slammed the door shut loudly.
"Go to Oak Street, driver, please hurry. My friend is in trouble."
"Okay, hold on tight." Upon hearing that someone was in trouble, the driver didn't hesitate and ran several red lights along the way. After more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the intersection of Oak Street.
Oak Street is a relatively prosperous street in the city, with commercial streets on both sides, bustling with activity.
"Isn't this where Sandra?" Avery got out of the car and remembered that the coffee shop where Sandra worked was located here. She quickly went to find the coffee shop. Fortunately, there was only one coffee shop on this street, and she contacted her friend while walking in.
"Sandra, which floor are you on now? Where should I find you?"
In the dark room, Sandra struggled to control the rising heat in her body and replied with difficulty, "I'm on the top floor. Hurry up and bring a doctor. Oh, and we also need someone who can pick locks. The door is locked from the outside and I can't get out."
Being trapped was a small matter compared to the heat inside her body, which made Sandra feel like she was about to explode at any moment. To make matters worse, the person who had drugged her not only gave her a very strong medicine, but also turned the air conditioning up to 37 degrees Celsius!
