LittleNovelChapter 98 Shivers
“Mr. Andrews,” Kaden began, ready to console Elliot, but Elliot cut him off
“Keep an eye on Owen. Find out who's staying with him.” There was a good chance that the person hidden
upstairs had tipped off Gavin.
“Understood,” Kaden replied and then drove away from the Andrews residence.
Elliot reclined in his seat, resting his head on his elbow against the window, a shadow crossing his features.
“Mr. Andrews, are we still heading to the hospital?” Kaden inquired.
Elliot tapped on the window rhythmically with his index finger, glanced at his watch-it was already five in the
afternoon-and made a decision. “Let's head to Lark Villa instead,” he directed. He figured Corynn would be
awake by now, but knowing her, she probably wouldn't want to see him.
“Okay.” Kaden made a U-turn and steered towards Lark Villa.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Corynn was just waking up to find Jason by her side.
“You're awake,” he noted.
He adjusted a pillow behind her to help her sit up, but a wave of discomfort hit her immediately. She winced,
realizing the extent of what she had endured.
Trying to piece together the events of the previous night left her mind blank. The blend of sharp and dull pain
prompted her to massage her temples.
“What happened last night? Why am | here?” she murmured, more to herself than to Jason.
“Are you feeling unwell? I'll get the doctor,” Jason said, turning toward the door.
Corynn quickly stopped him. “No, I'm fine,” she insisted, managing a weak smile despite her confusion and
discomfort.
Corynn recalled meeting Morris, his sister, as well as Elliot and Amanda the previous night. The aching in her
body hinted that she might have been intimate with Elliot again. The mere thought made her squirm
uncomfortably, a wave of guilt washing over her in Jason's presence. He might not know, right?
“Letknow if you're uncomfortable,” Jason said as he sat back down.
Corynn nodded, yet something didn’t sit right with her. If it was Elliot she had been with, why was Jason here,
she wondered silently.
Sensing her confusion, Jason offered, “Elliot was the one who brought you here.”
Her hands relaxed beneath the quilt. Though she had suspected as much, confirmation brought a mix of relief
and unease. Facing Jason, she couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes.

“Uh...” she started, voice trailing off.

“Corynn, | know you didn’t intend to get involved with Elliot again. You were drugged!” Jason’s voice was firm, his
gaze earnest.
Corynn’s head snapped up, disbelief etched across her face. “You mean... | was drugged?”
“Yes, and it was Amanda,” Jason revealed, explaining the entire sequence of events.
Hearing this, Corynn felt a chill run down her spine. She had been so vulnerable. If Elliot hadn't checked on her
out of concern, the consequences could have been dire. The thought alone made her shudder.
Amanda’s actions were despicable. If such news went viral, the backlash could be devastating Amanda had
intended to destroy her completely, Corynn realized with a shiver.
“It's okay now. Her plan failed, and Elliot managed to keep the journalists at bay. The story didn’t get out. Don’t
worry,” Jason reassured her.
He was thankful to Elliot for his intervention. Yet, recognizing the need for more proactive measures, Jason
decided it was tto arrange for someone to watch over Corynn discreetly. He couldn't always rely on Elliot's
sporadic acts of concern, nor could he allow Corynn to fall back into a cycle with Elliot.
