The Betrayed Heiress's Second Comeback-Chapter 76: Ch : Who did this?

"Hmm, there is not much of an impact. She’s just a little rattled because she was knocked out by that gas. Other than that, everything seems to be just fine with her."

The doctor assured Damian, but he did not seem to be reassured. His figure loomed over the doctor, causing the doctor to feel scared and tense.

The pressure in the room felt suffocating.

"Are you sure that is all, doctor?"

Damian asked, and the doctor let out a nervous chuckle as he looked at Damian.

A bead of sweat rolled down the doctor’s temple.

"I assure you, sir. Nothing is wrong with her at the moment. She is just under the drugs’ influence, so her system is acting a little slow. She will be just fine with some sleep and exercise."

Damian finally let the doctor go after that, but his eyes told the doctor that he was dead if he

I felt like it was my cue to interfere in this and say something. But I felt a little out of it at the moment to do that.

//My thoughts felt sluggish, like they were moving through water.//

Damian gave me a concerned look before he turned to look at the doctor. I could tell that they were discussing something. But whatever that was, I was not able to keep track of it.

All I knew was the fact that my eyes felt heavy and I needed to sleep.

The next time I woke up, I felt much more refreshed, and Damian was still by my side. My head felt clearer, and I felt warmth filling me up from the inside.

The room felt quieter, calmer.

Damian woke up at my sudden movement as well, and he opened his eyes to give me a startled look before he immediately thrust a glass of water my way.

"Thank you."

I told him as I took the water from his hands. The cold beverage helped my throat feel much better. It also helped me recall why I was here in the first place.

"Iris...I was following her. Do you know what happened to her?"

I asked Damian immediately as soon as I could concentrate. His face immediately tightened when he heard me speak, but he did not reply to my words.

The silence stretched painfully.

"Damian...?"

I asked once more to try and get him to speak, but he remained silent. Just when I was sure that he would not say anything anymore, he decided to speak up.

"Iris is...currently missing. According to her company, she is on vacation and would be back later. But those in underground circles know the truth. She was a famous escort for a lot of people, so her disappearance was a known fact."

Damian finally told me what I needed to know, and my chest felt a little tight hearing this.

"I...see. So it’s an open secret? Do we know who went after her?"

I asked, and Damian shook his head.

His expression darkened further.

"For now, we do not know who went after her. But I can try to find out if you want me to."

He offered, and I quickly nodded.

"I would like you to...if that is not too much trouble for you. I...have a feeling it’s the same person who sold me to the auction house. There was something familiar about that voice I heard before I lost consciousness."

Damian did not say much, but I felt like his silence spoke volumes. The atmosphere was a little tense, and I closed my eyes...and almost fell asleep.

But I woke up at the last second and blinked as I looked at Damian.

"You look tired. You should go back to sleep. The effect of the medicine has not left your system. Oh, and stay away from social media. Those are doctor’s orders."

Damian told me before he took my phone. That was not fair. I had not even gotten a chance to check up on the situation online.

But somehow, I had a feeling that complaining about it was not going to make things better for me.

I felt my eyes close, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

Damian’s POV

"Boss, we have checked the footage of the place as well as the surroundings. But the cameras were off at that time. We have no idea what happened to Miss Jenna...please forgive us."

My subordinates cowered in front of me as they gave me this news. Jason looked at my face before he quickly signalled for the others to head out.

No one wanted to stay longer than necessary.

They looked at each other before they quickly made their way out of the room we were in.

The door closed softly behind them.

I wanted to stop them, but I had a feeling that if I did that, then something bad would happen.

"Boss, I know you are angry about what happened with Miss Jenna, but you need to keep a calm head. You are scaring the other members as well. At this rate, we won’t be able to find out the truth behind what happened."

Jason reminded me, and I knew in my mind that he was right. But my heart refused to hear him out.

"I know...fuck, I do know what you mean. But controlling my anger is not as easy as you want to believe...anyway, focus on finding out more about this issue. I just need some time to calm myself down."

Jason was smart and knew when to back down. That was why he was still alive and in such a high position. But he wouldn’t be here for long if he continued to act ignorant and not bring me results.

’Maybe I am a little out of it at the moment. I need to calm down...ugh, I want to see Jenna again soon.’

My insides felt tight with that need, but I knew that I could not act on them. At least, not until I knew Jenna was safe and sound and would not be attacked once more.
