She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 914: DRAGGING CAYENNE DOWN III

Two hours later, Cayenne woke up and the first person she saw was the nurse who was checking her monitor. She also noticed that there were people outside her room. She guessed them to be her bodyguards.

"Where's my husband?" she asked the nurse with worry as she tried to sit up. "Why am I here? Am I ill?"

Seeing how she struggled to get up, probably from dizziness, the nurse helped her up and placed a pillow on her back. "Don't worry Mrs. Dumrique, you are not sick or something. You just fainted due to the severe shock that you received earlier. As for your husband, he didn't want to disturb your rest so he is taking calls outside. I'll go and tell him that you are awake now."

"Yes, please. Thank you for your help."

The nurse immediately left to inform Stefan that his wife had woken up and not even ten seconds later, Stefan came running to her room and hugged her. "You scared me," he whispered next to her ears as he tightened his hold on her.

"I'm sorry," Cayenne muttered knowing that she really caused his worry this time. "So, did you find out what happened? Is Diana really dead?"

"It's not certain. As of this moment, she is still battling with her life. I heard from Seiji that Diana was the perpetrator of the rumor of you not helping her."

"Seiji? You contacted him?" Cayenne questioned while pushing his husband a little to put some distance between them so they could talk properly.

"Why not? I think he is the best person to contact when it comes to the Rule family. I mean, they had some sort of connection and even though the Old man caused a huge problem to them, he didn't sever his ties with the siblings. He even mentioned that he sent you a message about Diana's plans."

Cayenne still felt a little disoriented as he tried to recall Seiji's message to her. "He sent me a message? When?"

"Was I wrong to refuse her?"

"No," Stefan responded right away. "It was not you who refused her. It was me. Anyway, don't think about it anymore. Do you want to eat something? I'll ask Nikolai to buy us some food," he added to change the subject of their conversation. Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr

"Can we go home instead? I want to see the children. What time is it now? It must be late already."

Stefan didn't think twice and called the doctor immediately. He requested his wife to be discharged and the doctor agreed with no hesitation. There was nothing wrong with Cayenne so there was no need to hinder the patient from leaving the hospital.

In C country, it was past midnight already and Artemis was still sitting on the bench outside the emergency room with her parents. They were all pale from the fright of seeing Diana in her own pool of blood and about half an hour ago, someone told them about Cayenne's situation.

Not only were they worrying for Diana, but now, they had to be wary of Stefan's retaliation as well. If Diana wasn't a family, they would have wished her to die already.

"Artemis, as soon as your sister comes out of the emergency room, no matter what the outcome is, you must tell the media about it as well as the truth of this incident. We don't want Stefan Dumrique and his people to come knocking on our door."

"Why don't I do it now?"

"Wait until your sister comes out. At least, show some respect while she's battling for her life," Mrs. Rule reprimanded, which caused Artemis to bite her lower lips.

If this happened two years ago, a lot of people would be calling them to show their concern, but now, only the police officers came for an investigation. Seiji didn't even call them. He, too, was not bothered by what happened.

"Let's force her to give up the company. It's either she gives up on it or I'll sever my ties with this family. She brings nothing but a headache," Artemis expressed and left without looking back. She decided to leave the hospital before she wished for something she would regret in her life.
