Chapter 235: Hallucination
He searched around the bathroom but found no one.
Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the bedroom.
Mason Monroe lifted his foot and walked towards the bedroom.
When he reached the bedroom, sure enough, he saw a graceful figure lying on the bed, looking as if in great pain.
Mason Monroe closed his eyes for a moment, walked to the bedside, and pulled away Summer Monroe’s hands that were covering her face.
However, the next moment, Mason Monroe was stunned.
Because the person lying on the bed was not Summer Monroe at all, but Coralie Hughes!
Why would Coralie be here?
Mason Monroe was shocked and quickly helped Coralie Hughes up, gently shaking her and calling, "Coralie! Are you okay?"
The originally closed-eyed "Coralie Hughes" suddenly opened her eyes and met Mason Monroe’s gaze.
Just as Mason Monroe was about to ask her how she ended up in this room, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the Origin Gate Acupoint, and his vision became blurred and hazy.
"Cor..." He only managed to say one word before collapsing onto the bed, unconscious.
Summer Monroe pushed the unconscious Mason Monroe off her, stood up expressionlessly.
No, she was not Coralie Hughes, but Summer Monroe.
It was just that Mason Monroe had ilusoryidentified her as Coralie Hughes because of a hallucination.
Summer Monroe put away the Golden Needle, looked slightly surprised at the unconscious Mason Monroe, then a playful smile slowly curved her lips.
So, the person hidden in her distant cousin’s heart was Coralie Hughes...
No wonder Stella Monroe had chosen Mason Monroe.
In this light, Mason Monroe indeed was an excellent choice; he would never betray Coralie Hughes and deeply hated her.
After all, she had really put Mason Monroe through the wringer at sea.
The room was very quiet, and Summer Monroe’s expression slowly changed from playful to icy cold.
If she were just an ordinary girl, she would’ve been harmed by Coralie Hughes and Stella Monroe until not even her bones were left!
But unfortunately, she was not an ordinary girl.
And coincidentally, the ingredient in the aroma lamp wick that Coralie Hughes had prepared was precisely what Summer Monroe had developed a few years ago.
She discovered this ingredient by chance and initially developed it to treat patients with autism, to awaken their inner world. Unexpectedly, somehow, it made its way into the market, turning from a good medicine into a harmful poison.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the medicine she developed did work well; it caused hallucinations, making it impossible for people to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Summer Monroe’s eyes shifted slightly as she bent down and heaved Mason Monroe onto her back.
She was strong, but carrying a grown man was still very strenuous; luckily, Mason Monroe was as thin as a rake and within the limits she could bear. If it were someone tall and sturdy like Damian Knight, she wouldn’t be able to carry him.
Wait, why did she suddenly think of Damian Knight?
Could it be that the antidote she quickly made just now had failed?
No, no, this medicine taps into one’s inner affections; she didn’t like Damian Knight at all, even if she hallucinated, she wouldn’t be fantasizing about Damian Knight, she was just scaring herself.
Summer Monroe exhaled a deep breath and continued to carry Mason Monroe.
The play had just begun. She couldn’t let herself think about nonsensical things.
First-floor lobby.
Coralie Hughes deliberately steered a girlfriend toward talking about her home’s renovation.
The girlfriend was the same one who Coralie Hughes brought to Julian Kingston’s to complain about Summer Monroe last time, but ended up with a setback.
She’s your typical naive and sweet girl, following Coralie Hughes’ words, "Your home had a recent renovation last year, this style is really beautiful! Remember to show us around when the birthday party ends!"
