CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: EROTIC FILM

At seven thirty in the evening, Lucas Hughes returned home with several cameras.

He carefully observed and thought about where it would be appropriate to install them.

Finally, he found the right place for all the cameras.

Whether it was the duty lounge, Alexander Johnson’s office, or their shared workspace, they all needed cameras.

This way, no matter what Alexander Johnson and Chloe Simpson were doing there, he could record without missing anything.

"Whew~ Whew~ Whew~"

After deciding, Lucas Hughes whistled triumphantly and went to prepare the meal.

Just in case, he tampered with the meal prepared for Chloe Simpson, adding Flibanserin.

This was the safest way.

As for Alexander Johnson, if an opportunity arose, he would add it; if not, tampering with Chloe Simpson’s meal alone would suffice.

After finishing everything, Lucas Hughes waited until eleven o’clock at night before starting to make a late-night snack.

By the time he finished and brought the midnight snack to the hospital, it was already twelve o’clock.

Lucas Hughes checked the time, twelve o’clock, just right!

The night always has a way of amplifying a person’s emotions infinitely.

Adding Flibanserin to the mix, tonight was bound to be an extraordinarily intense and passionate scene.

Thinking this way, Lucas Hughes felt a reaction in his body.

"Chloe, I’ve brought you..."

Excitedly holding the late-night snack, Lucas Hughes headed straight to the psychology intervention office.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered and called out Chloe Simpson’s name, he found the big office empty.

Only the door to Alexander Johnson’s small office was open, and he was the only one on duty inside.

"Lucas Hughes?" Alexander Johnson looked up and feigned surprise.

"Oh, I got hungry at night, so I made something to eat. Thinking Chloe Simpson might be hungry during her hospital shift, I brought it along. Director Johnson, would you like some as well?"

Lucas Hughes had not expected this situation at all; Chloe Simpson was nowhere to be found, and Alexander Johnson was alone in the office.

He habitually called him "Young Mister Johnson," but quickly corrected himself, recalling Alexander Johnson’s words from the meeting earlier that day.

"I’m not hungry." Alexander Johnson refused directly without leaving any room for discussion.

He would not eat anything brought by that bastard Lucas Hughes.

"Oh, right, where’s Chloe? Where did she go?" Lucas Hughes nodded and asked about Chloe Simpson.

"She went to the emergency room to get a document."

Alexander Johnson replied while handling the documents in front of him.

Since he came to invest in Ansun Hospital, he naturally had to put in the effort.

Otherwise, when his father and grandfather asked about the billion-dollar investment, it would be difficult to explain.

As for keeping Chloe Simpson for overtime, it was indeed deliberate.

It was for Lucas Hughes to see and, of course, for Gabriella Dyer, who was behind Lucas Hughes, to see as well.

"Then I’ll wait a while until she returns."

Lucas Hughes paused, then sat down with the meal box in hand.

"..." Alexander Johnson did not speak further and continued handling the documents.

He had nothing more to say to such a vile creature.

So, Lucas Hughes and Alexander Johnson stayed in the same space, time ticking away bit by bit.

Alexander Johnson was unperturbed, but Lucas Hughes, possibly out of guilt or something else, kept feeling a chill down his back.

Directly behind him was Alexander Johnson’s small office.

Soon, half an hour had passed.

Lucas Hughes looked at the time. It had been half an hour; wasn’t she just getting a document? Why wasn’t she back yet?

Honestly, he felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to stay in the same space with Alexander Johnson.

"The late-night snack is getting cold, Director Johnson. I’ll go check why Chloe hasn’t... returned."

Before he finished the last two words, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Don’t get agitated, sir. Listen to us, please let go of Nurse Simpson!"

The mention of Nurse Simpson instantly grabbed all the attention of Lucas Hughes and Alexander Johnson.

"!" Alexander Johnson got up and rushed to the door.

Lucas Hughes was originally closer to the door, but just as he stood up, Alexander Johnson dashed past.

Not far from the door, Chloe Simpson was being held hostage by a man in his thirties, wielding a syringe filled with blood.

Originally, Chloe Simpson was on her way back after picking up the document.

But as soon as she reached the office door, a man rushed out of nowhere, holding a syringe full of blood.

He immediately grabbed Chloe, aiming the needle at her.

"Let go? Hah, impossible! It took all my courage to decide to die quickly and painlessly. Yet you, with your so-called kindness, dragged me back from death’s door."

"Did you ever think if I wanted to live? I’ve been diagnosed with HIV. Living is just misery; I just want to die now. You have no idea how much torment I’m in!"

The man, gripping the syringe, shouted hoarsely at the doctors and nurses nearby.

"What? HIV?"

"This man has HIV?"

"And Nurse Simpson?"

"Quick! Call the police!"

"Yes, report it! Report it to the police immediately!"

All at once, the doctors and nurses were terrified, and amidst the chaos, someone shouted to call the police.

"!"

Lucas Hughes turned pale at the mention of HIV, instinctively stepping back several steps.

After all, it’s HIV; no one understood the horror of this disease better than a doctor.

"Lucas, save me, boohoo..."

At the mention of HIV, Chloe Simpson’s whole body trembled, and seeing Lucas Hughes not far away, she cried out for help.

But just after calling out, she saw Lucas Hughes stepping back further and further.

The man holding her hostage was instantly enraged upon hearing the doctors and nurses calling the police.

"Fine, call the police, huh? Great, since I’m going to die anyway, I’ve now got someone to join me. This woman is so beautiful, it’s worth it!"

The man’s face twisted with rage, and with those words, he aimed the syringe at Chloe’s neck!

"Nurse Simpson!"

"Nurse Simpson!"

In an instant, the hearts of the doctors and nurses leapt into their throats.

Chloe Simpson was trembling uncontrollably, her mind blank, her eyes fixed solely on the syringe aimed at her neck.

She watched the needle rise, terrified, and closed her eyes tightly.

Contrary to her imagination, the expected pain did not come.

Quick as a flash, as the needle was raised, Alexander Johnson dashed over like lightning.

In the end, the needle landed on Alexander Johnson’s hand.

Chloe Simpson only heard the sound of the needle piercing flesh and opened her eyes to see Alexander Johnson gripping the fallen needle with his hand.

"Alexander Johnson!"
