Chapter 190 Another Acquaintance
It was Michelle’s first time drinking alcohol, and she had overindulged earlier. At this moment, the alcohol was getting to her head, causing her to start throwing up.
Caught off guard, Lysander still stained her sleeve even though she tried to dodge swiftly.
She called over a waiter, who helped her support Michelle to the restroom. After tidying Michelle up, they returned to their booth seat to rest.
Lysander looked at her drunk and sorrowful sister, then turned to the waiter and said, “Could you please bring a cup of warm water? Thank you.”
“Alright, please hold on a moment.”
Before long, the waiter had brought over the warm water.
“Thank you.”
“Miss,” the waiter said, pointing at her sleeve, “Let me look after this lady for you. You should go clean up quickly.”
Lysander glanced back at her sister. Despite her sadness, the latter likely didn’t have the energy to wander off for the time being.
Lysander was a doctor, a clean freak by nature, so this particular stench was indeed quite unbearable for her.
“Alright then, I appreciate your help. I’ll be back soon.”
“Alright.”
Lysander retreated to the restroom, where she meticulously cleaned her cuffs. She scrubbed them repeatedly with soap until the refreshing scent of lemon permeated the air. Only then did she feel a sense of relief
within.
However, when she returned to the booth seat, his sister was no longer there.
She scanned her surroundings and immediately spotted the waiter who had been assisting Michelle earlier. Without hesitation, she approached him and asked, “Excuse me, where’s my sister?”
The waiter glanced at the booth seat, looking a bit puzzled. “She was just there a moment ago, could she have felt sick and gone to throw up?”
“I just got back from the restroom.
“Could it be… that she has gone home?”
Lysander didn’t tell her parents when she took Michelle out to drown her sorrows in alcohol. Instead, she dialed Zachary’s number..
The call was answered swiftly.
“Zachary, where are you now?”
“Haha, didn’t you invite me over for dinner just yesterday? Have you forgotten already? By the way, where are you and Michelle? My mom and I came over today, thinking we could discuss the moving plans with you two.
Chapter 190 Another Acquaintance
Michelle isn’t at home.
Lysander’s heart
s still pounding, “Zachary, is it convenient for you to talk now?”
Zachary quickly grasped her meaning. “Just hold on a moment.”
“Alright.”
Roughly a minute had passed when his voice echoed through the phone again. This time, it was laced with a hint of seriousness. “I’m out on the balcony now. Your parents and my mom are in the living room making ravioli, so they can’t hear us. Lysander, did something happen?”
After Lysander roughly explained the situation to him, Zachary was taken aback.
“You took her out for drinks?”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t let my parents hear you.”
“Alright, I understand. I’m heading over now.”
“What are you going to tell them?”
“I’ll tell them I got called back to work unexpectedly. Don’t worry. The bar isn’t far. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
After hanging up, Lysander was still brimming with anxiety.
The d*mned girl was clinging onto me a moment ago, unable to walk properly. How did she suddenly disappear? Could it be that… she was taken away?
However, it was daytime then. The bar was sparsely populated, and there was no sign of Michelle.
The waiter’s face had also turned slightly pale. “I apologize, miss. I’ll report this to the manager immediately and have everyone help look for your sister.”
Suddenly, Lysander’s gaze settled on a pool table not too far away.
“That’s not necessary.”
“Huh?”
“I see her.”
Lysander made her way over to the pool table.
Adjacent to the bar was a billiard lounge, connected by a moon–shaped doorway that allowed for easy passage between the two..
In truth, the person Lysander saw wasn’t her sister but another familiar face.
