CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172: MAKE HER BUY CONDOMS

It was Elias Warner, Elias Warner staggered, bracing himself on the door of the private room, pulling Eric Thorne out.

"Eric! Go! Let’s go! Continue... drinking!"

Elias Warner’s cheeks were flushed, and he trembled as he tugged Eric Thorne.

"Elias, come on, if you keep drinking, you’ll end up in the hospital!" Eric Thorne frowned.

"Annelise, did you see that? If you don’t care, I won’t care either. Just let him fend for himself here! He already vomited blood earlier. If you let him keep drinking, he’ll die here!"

Eric said as he was about to leave.

"Eric, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t need anyone to care for me! I still want to drink!"

Elias Warner wobbled back to the private room alone.

Seeing that Annelise was indifferent and worried about Elias Warner, Eric followed back in.

The private room suddenly became much quieter.

"Sister, that was President Warner, right? Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

The younger brother said to Annelise.

"There’s no misunderstanding, you’re still young, you don’t understand!"

Annelise’s explanation was very weak.

"Sister, even though I’m young and don’t understand, I can tell he likes you, and it seems you like him too, right? Since both of you like each other, why can’t you be together?"

The younger brother asked curiously.

Annelise shuddered.

Be together?

These three words seem simple, but how difficult it is to achieve them.

"Sister, you should go and check on him!"

Annelise hesitated a bit.

"Sister, I think you should go and see him!"

Only then did Annelise go to the private room where Elias Warner was.

Elias Warner was lying alone on the bar floor, surrounded by scattered bottles.

He tried to pour the empty bottles beside him into his mouth, but they were all empty.

He got up, staggering to the coffee table to pick up a bottle, shook it, and found it empty.

He seemed very dissatisfied, shouting at the private room, "Liquor, bring the liquor! Waiter! More drinks! More... drinks!"

He let out a long burp, preparing to leave the private room to call for more drinks.

But suddenly, he was tripped by a rolling bottle on the floor, falling directly to the ground.

Blood immediately seeped from his forehead.

Annelise hurriedly went up to help him, strenuously bringing him to the sofa.

She poured him a glass of water and asked the waiter for some sobering soup.

"Drink! Drink..." Elias Warner raised his trembling hand and let it fall.

"Here, have some water!" Annelise handed him the water, making Elias Warner drink it down.

Elias Warner opened his blurry eyes and saw it was Annelise in front of him.

His happiness inside was instantly replaced by an endless abyss.

"What are you doing here... Aren’t you entangled with another man? Why are you here?"

"You’re my creditor. The debt I once repaid, you haven’t given me clear proof of settlement, and in your hand, there’s still my IOU. So I can’t let anything happen to you! Otherwise, my repayment would be in vain!"

Annelise again handed the water to Elias Warner.

"Bang"

Elias Warner pushed it away, the glass fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, shattering into pieces.

"Leave, I don’t need your pity!"

Elias Warner shouted, his eyes full of disappointment and despair.

"Get up, I’ll take you to the hospital!" Annelise helped him up.

"I don’t need that! Get out!"

The loud questioning echoed in the private room.

Annelise refused to leave.

Elias Warner fled the room like escaping.

Annelise followed closely behind Elias Warner, fearing an accident might happen.

In the meantime, she called Uncle Ford.

Her mouth was talking to Uncle Ford, but her eyes never left Elias Warner.

She was afraid he would suddenly fall while staggering towards the parking lot.

Or that a car might suddenly pop out and crush him.

Uncle Ford answered the call.

"Uncle Ford, could you come pick up Elias Warner? He’s drunk alone in the parking lot of Lethe Bar!"

Annelise’s pace never slowed as she followed Elias Warner to the car.

A large hand came and grabbed her phone from her.

"Get in the car, take me back!"

Elias Warner’s eyes were like a deep, bottomless pool, Annelise couldn’t see clearly into the depth of them.

But she was deeply entranced by it.

She mysteriously opened the car door, sat in the driver’s seat, waited for Elias Warner to get in, and drove away.

Since Elias Warner got in the car, he hadn’t spoken a word.

He leaned heavily on the passenger seat.

His forehead just touched her shoulder, as if he had fallen asleep.

Though she was driving, Annelise did not wake him.

The streetlights on the roadside were dim but with colorful hues.

The inside of the car was unusually quiet.

So quiet she could hear the fall of a needle.

"Stop the car!"

Annelise was startled by the sudden voice, slamming on the brakes.

The violent jolt nearly made Elias Warner throw up.

"Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Annelise remembered Eric saying Elias Warner drank so much he almost vomited blood.

Opening the car door, she prepared to help him get out to vomit.

She saw a pharmacy across the street.

She hurriedly kept Elias Warner steady, getting out of the car.

"Wait here, I’ll get you some medicine!"

Annelise jumped out of the car.

She wanted to run to the pharmacy quickly, buy some stomach medicine, from Elias Warner’s look, he should be enduring a stomachache.

Elias Warner’s deep voice said something that startled Annelise.

"Get me a pack of condoms!"

Condom?

Annelise stopped in her tracks, turned around, awkward and surprised: "You... want to use a condom?"

"Yes!"

"No!" Annelise refused.

This man, even at this moment he’s thinking about such things.

"It’s not for you, what’s wrong? When did you become so narcissistic? Truly self-indulgent!"

He sneered, as if mocking.

Annelise’s heart felt like it was pricked by something.

Who is he planning to use it with?

The image of Sylvia Lowell floated in her mind.

If he likes Sylvia Lowell so much, why doesn’t he let her pick him up after drinking?

She wanted to leave.

Elias Warner frowned in pain, beads of cold sweat appeared.

"Wait for me to get you medicine!"

Annelise had just turned around.

Elias Warner reminded her in a deep voice: "Don’t forget the things I asked you to buy!"

"Okay!"

Her voice was so faint it was like dust falling into the sea.

Pharmacy

Annelise bought the medication and stood there looking at the item for a long time.

A variety of choices, dazzling, considering she only had experience twice.

She blushed deeply, unsure which to select.

The sales clerk approached.

"Which type do you need? With fragrance? Large, small? Thin?"

Annelise was astonished, such things actually have so many types?

Her ears turned red beyond belief.

She hurriedly picked one at random, fled to the cashier.

Paid, walked out of the store.

Upon reaching Elias Warner’s car door, she saw Uncle Ford’s car right in front of her.

"Uncle Ford, you’re here. Here’s the medicine, you’ll give it to him, okay? Do you have water in your car? I forgot to buy water!"

"I do! But, Miss, I don’t know how to give someone medicine?"

Uncle Ford was somewhat helpless, most importantly, he knew Elias Warner never needed him to give him medicine.

He understood the young master’s intentions.

Annelise took the water from Uncle Ford’s hand, handed the stomach medicine to Elias Warner.

And gave him water to drink.

Then slipped the condom into Elias Warner’s hand.

"Uncle Ford is here, I’m leaving, I’ll let him take you to Sylvia Lowell!"

Annelise turned around.

Big hands grabbed her clothes, pulled her back, she fell onto the seat.

"Bang"

The car door was closed.

Elias Warner pressed down on her.

"Elias Warner, let go!"

"I don’t want to hear your voice!"

Elias Warner kissed Annelise’s lips.

Annelise’s eyes turned red.

He actually hated her this much?

She held back tears, pushed Elias Warner away.

"The debt you owe me, aren’t you planning to repay it?"

Elias Warner’s deep mocking: "Repaying this way is the simplest, ten thousand per time!"

"Let go of me, Elias Warner, if you don’t want Uncle Ford to see..."

"If you want Uncle Ford to find out, just continue!" Elias Warner pulled Annelise’s collar, reached further in.

Annelise pushed Elias Warner away in humiliation, she was less than those women at Lethe Bar to him.

Ten thousand each time?

She was so cheap in his eyes?

She quickly stood up, knocked over the cup of hot water on the car.

"Tss" the pain hit.

Annelise’s hand was scalded, turning red.

Only then did Elias Warner stop.

"You’re forcing me, this is illegal? You now have to settle all the six million debt I previously owed you, or I’ll charge you with rape!"

Ha!

Elias Warner laughed coldly.

"You think you’re some precious woman? Don’t know how many men you’ve been with, and you’re asking me for six million? Fine, I’ll take it all at once, see how much you can endure!"

The pain nearly made Annelise cry.

Her heart and body felt like they were enduring a torture.

Since it’s come to this, better to quickly draw the line clear, stay away from him.

"Don’t think you can renege, I’ve recorded the video as proof!"

Annelise grabbed the phone, recorded the evidence.

"Record? What, you want to charge me?" Elias Warner was infuriated and laughed.

"Fine, it’s considered you repaid my debt, now you can get lost!" Elias Warner opened the car door.

Annelise stumbled out of the car.

Uncle Ford got on the car, hesitant to speak.

"What are you looking at, drive!"

Elias Warner coldly scolded.

Uncle Ford sighed, drove away.

Once off the warm car, Annelise felt surrounded by chills, couldn’t help but shiver.

"Rumble, rumble!"

Suddenly several streaks of lightning flashed across the sky.

Then it started to rain heavily from the sky.

The autumn downpour came swiftly.

In an instant, all of Kybourne seemed flooded by lake water.
