Chapter 24: Intoxicated

Ryan then approached Mia's ear, even at times like this the woman was still struggling, "Do you think I will obey you? Do you think I'm stupid?"

While saying that, Ryan stroked Mia's cheek. The wall against her back made Mia couldn't go anywhere.

"I did not think that a cop like you really paid attention to your appearance, hmmm Mia?" Ryan was enjoying this moment, the moment when he could flirt with a beautiful woman. When Ryan was engrossed in stroking her cheek, Mia was about to bite the hand!

But when that happened, Ryan managed to dodge it.

"I thought you were a beautiful white swan, who would've thought you were a dog." Ryan said. Right now Mia's eyes were very cold and she didn't hold back from tearing Ryan alive. Apart from her father who used to stroke her hair, no one had ever touched her!

"Alright, alright I won't do it again." Ryan was seen smiling mischievously, "I won't touch you again."

After saying that, Mia looked a little calm. Suddenly, Ryan pinched her cheek lightly.

"Wow, how soft! I like it!" Ryan said with a smile and Mia felt she had let her guard down. How could this man do that again.

At that moment, Mia was seen trying to gore Ryan. Ryan immediately grabbed this woman's body and held her against the wall.

"What kind of man are you!" Mia said with fiery eyes. She aimed her glare at Ryan's eyes. She couldn't move. She was still thinking about fighting back by kicking this man.

This time, Ryan didn't bother and let Mia go.

"Touch me one more time and you will receive the consequences!" Mia, who was already free, was a little relieved that she was not handcuffed.

Ryan on the other hand was still smiling, "I'm not really satisfied just touching your face, I want to ..."

"Ha? What else do you want to touch?" Mia felt that she could not feel relieved yet and took a step back.

"I really want to squeeze your butt." Ryan immediately disappeared like smoke and was already behind Mia holding her waist.

"You perverted man! Die!" Mia, who was shocked to see Ryan's disappearing figure, immediately felt Ryan's hand on her waist.

Because Ryan was holding her waist tightly, Mia couldn't turn around. Ryan took this opportunity to breathe the air around Mia's neck, "Hmmm .. you smell so good!"

"Son of a bitch! Nasty!" She felt that Ryan was the worst man she ever met.

"Since I'm a pervert, there's nothing wrong with holding it now. Besides, I also don't want to die feeling regretful." This time, Ryan held her buttocks. He squeezed her round, nicely shaped ass with all his might.

"You...!" Mia really couldn't help thinking, "I'll make sure you get what you deserve!"

"Oh? Are you sure you can?" Ryan smiled mischievously again. This time his eyes focused on Mia's chest.

"You...What are you going to do?" Mia looked back and saw Ryan's big smile.

"It is okay. I'm just afraid that before the punishment comes, I still don't want to die with regrets." Ryan said, gently touching Mia's chest.

Mia wanted to fight this person but she couldn't even turn around. She struggled to free herself but the thought of what the man might do next made her surrender. She felt that the man was targeting her chest next.

"Hmmm? Have you calmed down?" Ryan said when he saw that the woman had given up on her situation.

"Okay then, let's just end here. See you later." Ryan didn't like women who have no reaction at all. Therefore he did not hesitate to leave her right after.

"No more words, remember that carefully!" Mia was really angry. She then gritted her teeth when she saw Ryan's disappearing figure.

When they both managed to get out of the restaurant safely, Ryan and Valerie immediately returned to the Avalerion company. Then, they separated because Ryan wanted to meet Irina first.

When he arrived at Irina's private room, Ryan saw that his wife was sitting in silence, massaging her head. Seeing this made Ryan's heart a little sore and immediately approached her. Irina didn't feel well so her vision was a little blurry. She felt that someone was approaching her and when she lifted her head it was Ryan who appeared before her.

"What is wrong with you? Is my wife not feeling well?" Ryan's voice sounded sincere and caring.

When she heard it, Irina just smiled and nodded her head, "Maybe I'm too tired. You don't need to worry."

Ryan then put his hand on Irina's forehead, "My dear, it's okay if you feel tired and need rest. Here, your husband will check on you first."

When she saw Ryan's big hand approaching her, Irina did not refuse it. Then Ryan said, "Have you gone to the doctor?"

Irina couldn't hear Ryan's words. But there was a little doubt in Irina's eyes.

"Hey don't worry, your husband is very skilled in the world of medicine." Ryan, who realized his wife's doubt, immediately checked her temperature and pulse. At first glance, there was nothing strange about her.

However, if Ryan looked closely, Irina's face was as pale as a ghost. Her beautiful lips looked dry and peeled off, her eyelids also seemed to want to keep closing as if she had run out of energy. Ryan's heart clenched. It was not a symptom of a sick person but a symptom of someone being poisoned.

He had studied the world of medicine through his grandfather's teachings and understood some of the basic sciences. Seeing Irina, he was sure that these were symptoms of a person who had been poisoned.

"Hey, is there any discomfort in your body?" Ryan asked anxiously, "Or is there pain that appears in some part of your body?"

Irina guessed and said in a low voice, "There is a slight pain in my chest."

"When did this happen?" Ryan's eyes really widened.

"Hmmm I forgot ... In the morning I don't feel anything." Irina's voice was really weak.

All right, this morning she was feeling fine, so maybe this afternoon?

"What did you eat last lunch?" Ryan asked further.

"My secretary brought me food from outside." Irina felt that Ryan's question was starting to deviate and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ryan could only grit his teeth and smile bitterly, "Listen to me and don't panic. You have been poisoned and I think your lunch earlier was the cause."

"How could this happen? My secretary isn't that kind of person." Irina still had confidence in her secretary.

"Don't worry, she didn't do it. This must be someone else's doing." Ryan said, trying to calm his wife, "Wife, allow me to examine you in more detail."

"Okay." Irina said quietly.

Ryan took Irina's pulse again. After a while, Ryan's face turned pale. He did not expect that the perpetrator used this kind of poison.

Digoxin, a poison that had a high mortality rate, would work without anyone knowing. This poison was often traded in the underground world because of its high success rate.

But who wanted to kill Irina?

"Is my situation serious?" Irina saw Ryan's pale face and felt that she was a little moved to see Ryan who cared so much for her.

"Honey, you take it easy. If it's just a poison, it's just a small problem for your husband. " Ryan tried to be cheerful again, "For your treatment this time, I need your cooperation."

"How so?"

"I will use acupuncture techniques on you." Ryan said, "I will make the poison out of your body but, I can't get it out if you are still dressed."

Irina, who was weak, still blushed, "You want me to take off my clothes?"
