Miraculous Doctor from the Mountain

Chapter 8: Reasons

Oliver knew that in this situation, if not dealt with immediately, letting the drugs stay in Lillian's body would cause significant harm.

Without dwelling on it, Oliver carried Lillian and swiftly went to the bathroom. He placed her in the bathtub and immediately turned on the showerhead. He wanted to use warm water to moisten her skin, inducing sweating to help clear her head.

However, the effect didn't seem obvious. Lillian, in the bathtub, wasn't cooperative. Her legs splashed water everywhere as she restlessly moved them.

With no other option, Oliver had to resort to acupuncture.

As he was about to take out the needle box to administer acupuncture to Lillian, he suddenly heard an angry and astonished voice from behind:

"Oliver, what are you doing!"

Turning around, he saw Flora standing at the doorway, enraged.

Because they had agreed to visit her grandfather in the afternoon, Flora had finished arranging things at the company and intentionally returned early.

Hearing sounds from the bathroom, she came over and witnessed this scene. Especially with Oliver's hands seemingly on his own clothes, it looked like he was undressing.

Before Oliver could explain, Flora walked quickly to him, raised her jade-like hand, and delivered a resounding slap to Oliver's face.

Just as the hand was about to make contact, Oliver raised his hand and caught Flora's wrist.

Looking at Flora, Oliver said helplessly, "My lady, can you at least figure out what's going on before you hit me?"

Her sister was the person Flora felt closest to in this world. Seeing this scene, she thought Oliver was trying to take advantage of her sister and was doing it on purpose.

"With my sister like this, what else do you have to say?"

Before Oliver could reply, Lillian, from the bathtub, intermittently said, "Sis, not him..."

Though Lillian couldn't control her body, she still had a clear mind. However, she genuinely believed Oliver's words, thinking he was her sister's boyfriend.

Flora was puzzled, looking at Oliver strangely.

Oliver took out a silver needle, glanced at Flora, and muttered, "So fierce, I'm almost reconsidering marrying you. Your sister was drugged. Listen to her explanation later..."

Saying that, Oliver walked to the bathtub. He bent down and inserted the silver needle into Lillian's acupoint.

Lillian also had a well-proportioned figure, exquisite and charming. Although her appearance couldn't match her sister's stunning beauty, she was undoubtedly a beauty in her own right.

After a few needles, Lillian's condition improved. The rosy hue on her face slowly returned to normal.

As the effects of the aphrodisiac gradually faded, Lillian regained consciousness. She opened her eyes, looked at her sister, and timidly said, "Sis, I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Flora coldly interrupted, "Put on your clothes, go to the living room, and explain everything to me!"

Saying that, Flora turned and walked away.

Oliver raised his eyebrows at Lillian, chuckled, and followed Flora to the living room.

After putting on her clothes, when Lillian arrived in the living room, she saw her sister sitting expressionlessly on the sofa, arms crossed. From childhood, having lost their parents, Lillian had grown up with her sister. Besides respect, there was also a touch of awe for her sister. Especially today, when such a big incident had occurred.

Flora, with an expressionless face, asked coldly, "Speak up, what happened today?"

Lillian bit her lip and hesitantly explained, "I came back to Blokoord with a classmate today. When he dropped me off downstairs, he said he wanted to come up and chat. I didn't think much about it and let him in. But unexpectedly, he spiked my drink. So..."

Flora already knew the rest of the story.

Sitting on the side, Oliver chuckled and looked at Flora, saying, "Miss Carmen, now you know what happened, right? So, are you going to apologize for how you treated me earlier?"

Unfortunately, Flora ignored Oliver and continued questioning Lillian, "Is that guy your boyfriend?"

Lillian immediately shook her head, "No, he's just a classmate who has been pursuing me, but I never agreed. I didn't expect him to do this..."

Flora's face turned pale with anger. Looking at Lillian, she sternly said, "Lillian, you're not a child anymore. How could you be so careless? Moreover, today is neither a weekend nor a holiday. Why did you suddenly come home?"

Flora's words made Lillian feel a bit wronged, but she still explained, "Grandpa is seriously ill, and our relatives at home have always bullied you. I was especially worried about you. I also heard that the new cosmetics project in your company is not going well. I wanted to come back and see if I could help you in any way..."

As Lillian spoke, tears swirled in her eyes.

Lillian's words softened Flora's heart. Although she appeared icy on the surface, it was because she had relied on herself since childhood. She had to stay strong and aloof to protect herself and her sister.

Upon hearing this, Oliver smiled at Lillian and said, "Little sister, focus on your studies. Don't worry about the family affairs. With me around, no one would dare to bully your sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Flora turned to glare at Oliver. She couldn't understand how Oliver had such thick skin. They had only known each other for two days, and he already considered himself her boyfriend.
