Chapter 351
“I know,” Matthias cut in. “She stole my drug!”
“What drug?” Cindy asked in disbelief.
Matthias told her what happened at Yvette’s birthday party angrily. “It was my fault. You suffered because of me!” He blamed himself for the mistake.
Shaking her head, Cindy assured him, “It wasn’t your fault. Arielle’s too cunning. She didn’t fall for it and even stole your drug to use it on me!”
Matthias inhaled long and deep. He grabbed Cindy’s shoulder and stated, “Cin, you need to pull yourself together. You’ll only get to leave and take revenge on Arielle once you calm down!”
In a trembling voice, Cindy answered, “The hospital belongs to the Morgans. Carter and Vinson are friends, and Arielle has something to do with Vinson. This must be a trap! I need the doctor’s approval to leave the hospital, but Arielle won’t let that happen. Matthias, I could be stuck here forever!”
Clenching his jaw, Matthias declared, “If they won’t allow you to leave, I’ll take you out! We’ll leave Southall Group behind and flee the country!”
“It’s not that simple. We’re in a psychiatric hospital, not a normal hospital. There are surveillance cameras and nurse aides everywhere to stop patients from escaping We can’t make it out of here. If you do that, our relationship will be exposed. Henrick won’t let us escape easily if he finds out. He’s more brutal than both
of us combined!”
Matthias punched the bed as flames of anger licked through him. “Why can’t I be of help?”
Two minutes later, his eyes lit up. “I got it! We can go with our original plan. By then, Henrick will have no choice but to let you leave the hospital.”
Cindy was slightly confused. “What original plan?”
“Don’t you remember the medicine I gave you back then?” Matthias reminded with a smile.
Slowly, a grin tugged at Cindy’s lips. “Yes, we can do that!”
When the drug takes effect, Henrick will let me leave for sure. Perhaps he would have to carry me out carefully!
“I will bring you the medicine every day from today onward. I’ve found a reason to visit you without alerting Henrick,” Matthias revealed.
Cindy nodded firmly. “Good!”
As Matthias couldn’t remain here for long, he comforted Cindy briefly before standing up to leave.
Cindy lay back in bed in relief with a calm expression on her face. I’ll have to wait patiently. After I get out of this place, I can exact revenge! There’s no way that brat can defeat me again!
They did not know that Arielle, who was back at the Southall residence, was watching their entire exchange in the ward.
Her gaze fell on the grin that was playing on Cindy’s
lips.
Besides offering Cindy an idea to leave the psychiatric hospital, Matthias also gave her hope. This must be the power of love. Hmm… I wonder what their plan could be. They were grinning from ear to ear in the psychiatric hospital.
Back at home, Henrick reverted to his normal grumpy self and kept picking on the help, claiming that they had given him scorching hot tea and didn’t clean the fruits thoroughly.
Arielle went out for a stroll in the backyard and left him alone.
