The Perfume Is Gone
Dn turned and disappeared from the hospital room.
Finally, the doctors advised me to rest and observe. I had to tell the medical staff if I felt ufortable.
Then they left the room. My head was still in a whirl, and my body ached
Ava wanted toe closer, but Carol held her back, soothing her, “Ava, don’t touch Mommy, it’ll hurt!”
“Mom, Dad, you should go home! I want your handmade pasta, Mom,” I murmured. “Ryan, take Mom
and Dad back. If everything’s fine tomorrow, I’lle home!”
Ryan looked at me. He had been watching from a distance, not saying a word. However, his eyes had
been fixed on me, full of anxiety.
When he heard me say this, he immediately responded, “Alright, we’ll go back and make you some
pasta!
We’ll bring them over a littleter!”
“Okay!” I smiled at him. Tm fine!
Ryan left my hospital room with Ava and my parents. Truthfully, I didn’t really want pasta, but I didn’t
want them to worry about me knowing too much
They had only left briefly when Dn entered, his gaze somewhat disappointed as he looked at As.

the car!”
As’s expression grew grim, his face emanating a chilling aura. He knew that the bottle was a gift from
Ste to me.
Lauren wasn’t having any of it. “Impossible. At noon today, I saw that thing in Chlo’s car. I even picked
it
up to smell it. How could it not be there?”
“Chlo, think, was it in the car when the ident happened?” Ivanna was starting to get anxious.
“Yes, it was there the whole time. It smelled nice. I felt so weak that I didn’t have the strength to step on
the gas. It was the same feeling as thest time I flipped the car in Pleca Park.” I spoke weakly, “When

turned out of the traffic, it was still there!”
As’s eyes were filled with cold hostility. “Did you call and talk to Ste? What did she say?”
“She said… that you were taking a shower…” I answered his question truthfully, “And she’d get up right
away to tell you to call me back!”
“Nonsense. Mr. As has been talking with Mrs. Celine the whole time. How could he be taking a
shower?
Dn was getting a bit furious.
“Find out who approached that damaged car. Find the person who took the perfume!” As’s face grew
even darker.
“This is a tant attempt to harm Chlo!” Lauren could not keep things bottled up, and she continued,
looking at As. “Mr. As, you have to give us an exnation for this.”
Just then, As’s phone rang. He turned and walked out quickly.
“Dn, how did you all find out about my ident?” I took the opportunity to ask Dn.
Dn looked at me and said, “They came to see Mr. As before he left work. They were discussing
something. When Mr. As went to get some documents, Ms. Ste told him he had a call. But by the
time he answered, you had already hung up!”
I
I closed my eyes for a moment, ming myself silently for not being moreposed and for being too
impulsive.
“Mr. As handed the documents to Mrs. Celine, and they left. When Mr. As tried to call you back,
her couldn’t get through. So, he told me to trace your location. When he noticed that you were in the
same spot, he had a hunch that something had happened.”
When Dn exined the situation, I felt a little regretful. Things would have been better if I hadn’t
been
so rash.
Despite this, I knew deep down if it was the problem with that perfume, it was only a matter of time
before I had an ident.
However, I was puzzled. How could that bottle of perfume just vanish?
As returned to my bedside after his phone call, his gaze fixed on me. After a moment, he said, “Rest
and recover. I have some matters to attend to. I’ll be backter.”
He nced at Ivanna and instructed them, “Take good care of her. Grayson,e with me!”
With that, they all exited my hospital room. Inside, we exchanged looks, and Lauren finally shook her
head.
“it’s terrifying. Chloe, you’re incredibly lucky! Do you realize how horrific the scene was? Not a single
witness believed you could survive.”
