Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Where Have I Seen You Before

Over the phone, Zion Prescott could sense Adrian Law’s current concern and anxiety.

"First, make her some brown sugar ginger tea, which can temporarily relieve the pain."

"Then warm her abdomen with a hot water bottle, as for the other medicinal herbs for conditioning..."

Zion Prescott pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"How about this, come over to Cloud Palace tonight, Felix and I are here now, and I can also give you the ointment for chronic whip injuries you asked for last time."

"Alright, I’ll come over later."

Adrian Law got the answer and quickly hung up the phone.

...

At the Cloud Palace entertainment club, Felix Lockwood lazily glanced at Zion Prescott.

"Was that Adrian on the call just now? No way, that cold guy actually cares if a girl has period pain?"

It’s amazing, Adrian Law and his newlywed little wife haven’t known each other long, right?

How could he care about her to such an extent?

Could it be that after liking someone, one can transform from an iceberg into a knight protecting their beloved?

The girl in Felix Lockwood’s arms laughed charmingly.

"Young Master Lockwood, you don’t understand, maybe it’s true love?"

Felix smirked wickedly and flirtatiously kissed the girl in his arms.

"Who says, darling, don’t I really like you too?"

"Oh dear, I can’t handle Young Master Lockwood’s affection. If my girlfriends knew, they’d all be jealous."

The girl laughed heartily in Felix’s shoulder crook.

Zion Prescott frowned slightly, watching them play around.

—So-called liking, it really depends on the person, at least, it seems Adrian might be in deep this time.

But that Cecilia Vaughn isn’t an ordinary woman, a woman who spent three years in jail, with scars on her back from whips, and once engaged to Adrian’s younger brother, who knows if they really have fate.

...

Zion Prescott adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice calm.

"Felix, tone it down, Adrian’s coming later, have these girls leave."

"I know, I know, hasn’t Adrian already gotten married? Still can’t handle girls getting close? That’s too much..."

With a cold gaze from Zion, Felix shrank his head and immediately agreed with a laugh.

Why is he so unlucky, both of his good friends seem uninterested in women, and they even force him to pretend to be uninterested too, is there such a predicament?!

...

North Stellerton, Starfall Bay Villa Complex.

Cecilia Vaughn leaned pale-faced against the edge of the bed, her abdomen twisting with waves of pain, making her irritable.

Bored, she took a good look at Adrian Law’s room decor.

It was her first time stepping foot here.

Adrian Law’s bedroom was decorated in black and white tones, but every detail was noble and elegant, with an understated luxury.

Were all these designs planned by Adrian Law himself?

Just as Cecilia was pondering, suddenly, a steady sound of footsteps came from the doorway.

In the next moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared in her sight.

It was Adrian Law.

The man carried the freshly brewed brown sugar ginger tea, his indifferent lips slightly pursed.

"Drink it quickly, warming your body a bit will make you feel better."

Cecilia glanced at the bowl of brown sugar ginger tea, astonished, she looked up: "Did you make this?"

"Who else?"

There was no brown sugar at home, so he deliberately went to the supermarket to buy it.

The man’s expression was calm, Cecilia’s heart warmed, she didn’t bother with any pretense, and quickly took the bowl of ginger tea and drank it down.

"Adrian, besides my mom, you’re the second person to make brown sugar ginger tea for me."

...

What a strange comparison, actually comparing him to her mother?

Adrian Law noncommittally glanced at the remaining half of the brown sugar ginger tea, his voice carried a non-negotiable authority and determination.

"Drink up the rest, don’t leave any."

"..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Cecilia Vaughn pulled a face, pitifully pleading.

"I’m much better now, I don’t want to drink more."

Actually, warming up with brown sugar ginger tea is one thing, but it’s not particularly tasty, the spiciness of the ginger nearly choked her throat.

"No, you must finish it."

The man seemed used to issuing orders, clearly, something that should count as a request, he could say it with such self-assurance, leaving no room for refusal.

How can one force a patient to take medicine like this?!

Cecilia Vaughn thought about secretly pouring it out, but the man kept staring at her, leaving Cecilia no choice but to begrudgingly finish it all.

Adrian Law glanced at the empty bowl with only dregs left, his icy expression finally softened a bit.

The man caressed the girl’s hair.

"Alright, now obediently sleep, I’m going out for a bit, might be back late, no need to wait for me."

When he patted her head, Cecilia’s face turned red, she wasn’t a little kid!

Yet inside, it felt as if she had just tasted honey, sweet and delightful.

Being cared for by someone felt so good.

...

As the night deepened, Adrian Law drove to Cloud Palace.

Cloud Palace is Stellerton’s most high-end entertainment club, operating on a membership referral system, requiring a card to enter.

The elite and socialites of Stellerton love to come here, in a certain sense, it’s also a symbol of status.

But few know that this club was invested in by Adrian Law, Felix Lockwood, and Zion Prescott, being the major shareholders of the club.

Adrian Law entered the club, very quickly having an attendant guiding him.

"Good evening, Young Master Law, Young Master Prescott, and Young Master Lockwood are already waiting for you in room C073 on the third floor."

Adrian Law nodded lightly, quickly walking towards the elevator.

...

Meanwhile, a group of well-dressed people surged in behind him, a mix of well-dressed, attractive men and women.

Most of them were current stars in the entertainment industry, Fiona Vaughn among them, along with some major business moguls.

These people were gathered by Station Director Alden of ASC Television, aiming to attract investment for his artists, seeing if they could secure new projects.

The attendant glanced and cheerfully spoke.

"Good evening, Station Director Alden, you have C072 reserved, right? This way, please."

The portly Station Director Alden glanced at the graceful Fiona Vaughn behind him, who had been staring at the just-closed elevator door.

"Fiona, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, nothing."

Fiona Vaughn snapped back to reality as if waking from a dream, her delicate brows furrowed, the back she just saw seemed somewhat familiar.

But she couldn’t recall where she had seen it.

What a shame, she didn’t see the front.

However, anyone who comes to Cloud Palace is certainly not a nobody.

She put on a charming smile, throwing a flirtatious glance at the attendant, and then coquettishly asked.

"Hey there, may I ask, was there anyone important who came before us?"

The attendant, flattered, scratched his head.

"Well... Miss Vaughn, today The Eldest Young Master Law and Young Master Lockwood are here, isn’t The Eldest Young Master Law your fiancé’s elder brother?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona’s eyes lit up instantly!

"Could you tell me their room number? I’d like to go and say hello!"

She’s been with Tyson Law for so long, yet she’s never met this legendary elder brother!

Today is a good opportunity!
