Chapter 377 - HAILEE'S BEST FRIEND

Giana woke up when her head felt very heavy. It was as if thousands of needles were stabbing her head while her body felt very cold and sore.

Giana shivered even though it wasn't cold in the room and the sun was shining brightly outside. And to make things worse, she was sweating.

This condition really made her feel like she was going crazy. She felt a sudden feeling of depression so intense that she was unable to concentrate or even think where she was.

Giana could feel her heart beating so fast and in the midst of her thoughts, she realized what was happening to her.

She needed that 'stuff' again. She needed it more than ever. Only that 'stuff' was on her mind or she could remember for that matter.

And so, with great difficulty, Giana crawled out of her bed, a bed she was sure wasn't hers in a room that seemed foreign to her. Where is this?

If Giana was in good shape, she would have realized that she had stayed in the same room before, with Dillon. The two of them spent a few days here before Dillon decided to forgive Giana and return to town A with her.

Too bad, this time, Giana didn't get what she wanted, because Dillon didn't give her the slightest opening to re-enter his life.

Last night, Giana had even asked the married couple for help but they both couldn't contact Dillon at all.

The number they had was the same as the number Giana had and the number couldn't be reached at all.

"I need that thing," Giana said in a trembling voice. She found her cell phone in her handbag which was placed not far from the bed in the corner of the room.

By now, the woman was feeling cold, but sweat was dripping down her forehead and the only way to stop this madness was to call the man.

Of course the man immediately agreed to her request, but then Giana told him an address which turned out to be very far from the city.

"I WILL PAY YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT! JUST BRING THAT FUCKING THING!" Giana exclaimed, she screamed so loudly that the husband and wife pair came rushing over to her.

"What is it? What happened?" the woman asked frantically.

But, all they found was Giana who had smashed her cell phone across the room. The pieces of the cell phone were now beside the wall of the room, scattered on the floor.

"Buy me a new cell phone," Giana said in a low voice. She felt unusually tired and was unable to think clearly.

"Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?" The woman approached Giana worriedly, but the woman looked at her very fiercely, as if the older woman was her eternal enemy.

"I said, just buy me a new cell phone." Giana repeated her orders, she felt very angry that this woman did not listen to her orders.

"We have to take you to a doctor, you look very sick, your face is very pale." Then the woman turned to her husband and said, "Get the car ready, we have to take her to the hospital."

"I SAID I DON'T NEED A DOCTOR! JUST BUY ME A NEW PHONE!" Giana roared angrily. Her eyes flashed with rage and her face confirmed how angry she was now. "FUCK!"

================   

"Hailee, this is working really well, she just called me!" Lexus exclaimed happily while they were on the plane that would take them to another city.

On the other hand, Ramon who was sitting next to his brother couldn't help but put on a facial expression that was hard to understand because after all, it was his wife that Lexus called as soon as he got a call from Candice.

Why didn't Lexus just tell him? Wasn't he his brother? Why should Lexus even bother Hailee?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right about that," Lexus said cheerfully. "I do have to pull back a little every now and then so she feels like she's missing me," he added.

A flight attendant walked up to them. She was telling the other passengers to turn off their cellphones because the plane was about to take off, while here Lexus was still calling Hailee.

"You are a genius! You are my advisor from now on," he said excitedly. "I didn't think it would turn out like this, I think she's starting to like me, right?"

However, Lexus had not yet had time to hear an answer from Hailee when Ramon snatched the cell phone.

"We're taking off, I'll call as soon as we arrive," Ramon told Hailee on the phone. "I love you honey," Ramon said softly before hanging up the call.

On the other hand, the flight attendant smiled kindly, quite happy that she didn't have to reprimand these two men. Of course, she recognized the infamous Tordoff brothers and didn't want to have any trouble with either of them.

"Hey, I'm still talking," Lexus grumbled.

"Can't you see we're about to take off?" Ramon said in a slightly fierce tone.

"Well… you're right," Lexus muttered, then put his seatbelt on. He looked sullen, but then his good mood returned after remembering that Candice called him first.

"If you want to talk, you can come to me." Ramon then shifted in his seat until he was facing Lexus. "Perhaps we can discuss this now and I can give you some advice during our journey."

Lexus then looked at his brother who was looking at him quite intensely. "No thanks," Lexus grimaced. How could he tell Ramon when this man was looking at him like he wanted to extract all the information from him?

"No, tell me how your relationship with this girl named Candice is. Which family is she from? What is her family background?" Ramon folded his arms in front of his chest and this actually made him seem more intimidating to his younger brother. "You're free to tell me about that woman. You don't need to hesitate."

Lexus grimaced again when he heard that. "Listen Ramon, you don't suit for this at all."

"Why not?" Ramon asked while frowning, he didn't understand. "You can talk smoothly to Hailee but you can't tell me anything."

Of course, because telling you was like being interrogated. Lexus said in his heart. He couldn't possibly voice his opinion.

"Now tell me about that woman. Should I find out myself and extract  all the information about her?" Ramon asked again, his tone sounding very casual when he said that.

"What? You're going to find out about her in an illegal way?" Lexus complained. "How can I tell you when you act like a gangster like this? And you ask why I can't tell you directly…"

================== 

It took Ian several hours to come to this remote place and find the house Giana was referring to.

Along the way, Ian was really grumbling that he had to come to a place like this and had to cancel his plans with Zia.

In fact, it was the last thing that annoyed Ian more than having to drive hours and hours to get to this place.

After Ian managed to find the house in question, he immediately called Giana and told her that he was just outside of the house and she could go out now.

After making the phone call, Ian then waited for the woman to come out while leaning his head on the back of the car seat and glancing at a fairly large box beside him, containing the things Giana needed.

Ian didn't want to start thinking about the side effects of using the stuff that much, and besides, it seemed that even now Giana was still getting addicted to these drugs and Ian couldn't blame her.

These drugs are so strong and once you try it will be very difficult for you to stop them.

The process of quitting this addiction will be excruciating and you will wish you would just die instead of going through such torment.

Ian had seen what happened to people who had tried to quit these drugs and nothing had stopped him from shuddering.

At this point, Ian had to admit that the method Ramon used was fatal. He destroyed Giana in such a way, and no longer thought about the consequences he would receive.

But, in any case, all the decisions rest with Giana, she had chosen to start this and still continued even though she was pregnant, which resulted in her having a miscarriage.

Therefore, Ian couldn't fully say that all of this happened because of Ramon's terrible plan alone.

In the middle of his thoughts, Ian was surprised as he heard someone knocking on his car window and saw Giana's face that looked pale with messy hair.

Ian quickly rolled down his car window and said with a bit of fear. "You surprised me! I thought it was a ghost that came to me! Look at that look of yours," he grumbled in annoyance.

In the middle of the night like this, Ian really didn't like being surprised by things related to the supernatural world.

"Where's the stuff?" Giana asked impatiently, she reached out her hand and threw an envelope of money into Ian's lap.

Still grumbling, Ian handed the box that had been very carefully wrapped to the woman.

"Go away," Giana said after their exchange was over in less than two minutes, she then turned and went into the house.

On the other hand, Ian could only shake his head when he saw the woman. He was very sure that Giana would not last long now.

But then, he started his car again. He had to travel tens of kilometers to get back.

Meanwhile, inside the house, Giana was calling someone. "Did you get the identity of the man I asked you to find out?"

"Yes, he is Ian Schamber, best friend of Hailee Tordoff," answered the voice from the other side of the line.
