CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 214: KEEP HER UNNOTICED BY GODS AND GHOSTS

Lucas Hughes took advantage of Chloe Simpson’s time in the shower to make a voice call to Selene Wilson.

Selene Wilson nodded, "Alright, no need to overthink it. Let’s do it tomorrow."

She had already waited long enough; she didn’t want to wait any longer.

She wanted to leave as soon as possible, to return to country A.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for your message by then."

Upon hearing that Selene Wilson planned to act as soon as tomorrow, Lucas Hughes couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

After hanging up, he glanced toward the bathroom where Chloe Simpson was still showering.

He unlocked his phone and checked Chloe Simpson’s work schedule at the hospital for the next day.

Chloe didn’t have to work at night; she had a day shift, and so did he. It was convenient—he’d be back home that evening, with nothing to do but wait for Selene Wilson’s call.

By then, everything would be ready, and after Chloe took the Flibanserin, he could simply use work as an excuse to return to the hospital.

As for the marriage bed in the master bedroom, he’d already set up surveillance in advance.

This time, it was full coverage: 360-degree high-definition video, leaving no blind spots.

In the bathroom, Chloe Simpson was humming a tune while showering, completely unaware of the events about to unfold.

Meanwhile, on Alexander Johnson’s side, he’d recently been instructing Jack Woods to keep tabs on Lucas Hughes.

"Eldest Young Master, it’s been a full week now. This time, Lucas Hughes is putting on a remarkably convincing act as a loving and devoted husband. But it’s too good to be true—something’s definitely up. Considering all the unscrupulous things he’s done before, who knows what kind of schemes he’s got brewing now?"

Jack Woods was certain something was off, and Alexander Johnson naturally had similar suspicions.

"Assign someone to monitor Lucas Hughes closely. Report any issues immediately."

Were it not for his concern for Chloe Simpson, Alexander Johnson would have already sent people over to abduct Lucas Hughes straightaway.

But now, he had to let Chloe see Lucas Hughes’s true nature for herself, which meant there was no room for impatience.

"Alright, Eldest Young Master." Jack Woods nodded, backed away, and left the villa.

That night, Chloe Simpson slept deeply and peacefully, just as she had every night prior.

The next morning, she woke up refreshed, went through her morning routine, and even took extra care to doll herself up for work.

Strangely enough, Alexander Johnson hadn’t shown up to cause trouble for her in the past few days.

Not that she minded—she was happy for the reprieve.

If she had her way, she’d wish Alexander Johnson would never interfere in her life again.

At the Psychological Intervention Clinic, unlike the emergency unit, there wasn’t much work to do.

The department was still newly established and largely unstructured. On top of that, Alexander Johnson was the Young Master of the Capital Circle; who in their right mind would dare to question him? Even the minimal work originally assigned to the clinic had since vanished.

All day, Chloe Simpson spent most of her time idly scrolling through her phone.

Of course, everyone else in the clinic did the same.

Still, this state of affairs ran contrary to Chloe Simpson’s original aspirations when she decided to study medicine.

She was brainstorming ways to transfer out of Alexander Johnson’s Psychological Intervention Clinic.

But after mulling it over for days, she hadn’t come up with a viable solution.

Given Alexander Johnson’s influence, if he wanted her to stay, all he’d have to do was issue a simple command.

If he refused to let her go, how could she ever hope to leave?

As Chloe was leaving work, Lucas Hughes noticed the frown on her face and asked her about it.

Thinking of Alexander Johnson’s power, Chloe figured telling Lucas would be pointless; it would only give him something else to worry about. So, she said nothing.

Lucas Hughes made a few perfunctory remarks, then took Chloe home.

After all, he didn’t really care.

However, Chloe’s bad mood provided him with the perfect opportunity to spike her drink.

Once home, Lucas Hughes personally prepared a feast of delicious dishes and even opened a bottle of wine.

Flibanserin, when paired with alcohol, guaranteed that Chloe wouldn’t suspect a thing.
