My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1819

In this modern age, news traveled quickly. Before news could even be officially reported, it would already be spread all over the world through the internet.

Newspapers were becoming obsolete. It used to be an important means of communication decades ago and anyone who could afford it was considered wealthy.

Adrienne didn't pay much attention to the news in the papers. She had already seen the news on her phone, so to her, newspapers were just old news. But since Hodge was an old man, he didn't really know how to use his smartphone. Hence, Adrienne patiently read all the interesting news articles for him to hear.

She knew Hodge was interested in world news, therefore she picked an article that she felt he would like. "Grandpa, another satellite was successfully launched by satellite base No.1 last night."

"I heard about that on the radio." Hodge waved his hand and interrupted, "I was in the middle of reading a piece on murder earlier and I haven't finished reading it yet. Read it for me."

Adrienne turned to the back of the newspaper, and sure enough, there was an article on murder. Coincidentally, it was the case of the murder at the bar. "Grandpa, it's not good to listen to this stuff at this hour in the night. I'd better read you something else." "Adrienne, you're a forensic doctor. I know you're not really on the frontlines much, so it is not as dangerous as being on the criminal police team or the narcotics team. Even so, you can't be careless. You must pay attention to your own safety at all times." Hodge didn't like focusing on gory crimes, but Adrienne was in this line of work after all. He had to understand it somehow so that he could know what she did for a living.

"I know." Adrienne smiled and added, "Grandpa, you like politics. I'll read that for you instead."

Hodge nodded as he finally gave in, "Okay."

Adrienne's voice softened after getting Hodge's permission. She read it gently in a professional story-telling tone.

Her voice was emotional and soothing to listen to. Hodge started feeling sleepy. He sighed in a daze, "Adriene, I'm worried about you."

"Grandpa, I know." Adrienne knew that Hodge was worried about her. In fact, she didn't want

him to be worried about her, but at the same time, she wished he could always be there to care for her.

Seeing that Hodge had fallen asleep, Adrienne put the newspaper down. She helped Hodge lie down properly and tucked him in. After making sure he wouldn't kick the blanket off and get a cold, she exited the ward.

After coming out of the ward, Adrienne went to the counter to inform them about Hodge's condition and requested them to take note of his health.

It was almost 10 p.m. by the time she was done.

Adrienne walked out of the hospital and hailed a cab.

There were a lot of people returning home at this time in Chatterton Town. Typically, it would take around half an hour just to get a ride.

Perhaps she was in luck, as soon as she tried to hail a cab, a taxi stopped steadily beside her. She quickly got into the car and gave the driver her home address.

Hodge was getting older and weaker day by day. As soon as she thought about the fact that he could be gone any day, her heart ached.

What about Jefferson?

Where could he be?

If she did not find any new clues soon, she was going to have a breakdown.

Along the way, Adrienne was occupied with thoughts about Hodge and Jefferson. She didn't even notice when the taxi started taking a different route.

By the time she noticed that something was wrong, the car had already driven out of the bustling urban area. They were on the highway, headed towards a neighbouring city.

"Oh, no!" Adrienne secretly uttered a cry in her heart but she tried her best to stay calm.

She guessed that she must have provoked someone. Previously, someone had tricked her into going out in the middle of the night. Fortunately, she found out and escaped in time. How was she going to escape this time?

Adrienne secretly took out her mobile phone and tried to call the police. But as soon as she moved, the car suddenly braked, and she flew forward. The phone slipped from her hand and landed under the seat in the front row.

The driver's cold and ruthless voice came from the driver's seat. "Behave yourself."

The enemy had already noticed she figured out something was wrong, and there was no way to call the police. Adrienne could only confront him, "Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

The driver didn't reply.

Adrienne looked around. It was night. There were very few cars on the highway. Occasionally, there was a car that quickly surpassed them, or they would overtake another car. There was no way for

her to ask for help from any passing cars.

Since the first two methods weren't plausible, Adrienne could only keep thinking. If she tried to open the car door and jump out at this speed of 120km/h, she would either die or get seriously injured. She gave up on this idea.

However, she also knew that if this person had kidnapped her, he definitely did not have any good intentions. In his hands, her fate might be worse than death.

"What should I do?" Adrienne started to panic slightly.

What should she do?

What would Jefferson do if he were in this situation?

Because of his excellent skills and instinct, he would never have let things get to this

point.

Even if there was an accident, it was probably the driver who suffered, not him.

Thinking of Jefferson, Adrienne got an idea. She needed to find some way to take control of the driver so that she could drive instead.

Thinking of this, Adrienne thought about how she could do that while ensuring the safety of the car.

But before she could think of anything, she smelled something weird. Soon, she felt like her brain was getting heavy and her energy was depleting. She could barely even sit straight; she had no choice but to lean back weakly.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you want to kidnap me? Where are you taking me? What have you done to me?" She had a series of questions.

Adrienne majored in medicine. She knew that many drugs could paralyze the brain and make a person feel weak all over, but she had never smelled this scent before. She couldn't tell what it was, nor could she do anything to counter it.

"Don't worry. I won't kill you. I just want to take you to meet someone," the driver spoke again.

His voice was still as cold as a robot, and there was no emotion in his words. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Adrienne pinched herself hard to keep awake. "Who are you taking me to see?"

The driver did not answer but instead, stepped hard on the gas. The speed went up from 120km/h to 140km/h. They were going so fast that the car was about to lift off the ground. Adrienne was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

The driver said that he wanted to take her to see someone but refused to tell her who it was. Who could it be?

Could it be the murderer who killed her parents?
