Chapter 74 Auction
Suzy looked at the closed office door and helplessly flashed across her face.
A short while later, Nina returned with a bag of food.
“Victor ordered takeaways for you,” said Nina with a chuckle. “This little brother is a bit warmhearted.” She already knew that Victor liked Suzy.
Suzy was speechless.
Fortunately, Janet was on leave today and wasn’t here, or someone would have been angry again.
“This is Rachel’s schedule for the past couple of days.”
Suzy took a look. Rachel had been filming in another city for the past couple of days. It would likely take her a couple days to see Rachel.
She put the document on the table, and after dinner, Suzy looked at the design plan for the garbage can. Rubbing her glabella, she finally picked up her bag and left Starlight Pictures.
Suzy drove alone to the hospital.
She did not have an appointment, nor did she have Ervin’s phone number. Suzy did not want Evan to know she was coming over. Just as she was thinking about what to do, she arrived at the parking lot and met Ervin.
The other party was slightly surprised to see her. “Suzy, why are you here?”
“Mr. Chaplin, I’m here for you.”
Ervin brought Suzy to his office. Ervin subconsciously frowned when he heard she wanted him to prescribe some sleeping pills.
“Suzy, did your sleep condition improve in the slightest?”
“I’m a little better.”
However, at this moment, Suzy knew very well that because of the Fluid-K, her mood had worsened.
“Okay, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you, but these medicines all have side effects. Take as little as you can in this cycle.”
Suzy nodded. “Okay, thank you, Mr. Chaplin.”
A moment later, Ervin returned with the medicine.
Suzy sat on the sofa and did not leave. After thinking for two seconds, she asked, “Mr. Chaplin, is there really anything wrong with my blood test report?”
Suzy had come looking for Ervin for a different reason. Yesterday, she investigated Ervin’s background. Although he was young, he cured countless complicated diseases. He was also a rare genius in the medical field.
Suzy wanted to confirm if Evan really didn’t know that she had been poisoned.
Hearing this question, Ervin hesitated for two seconds.
“No problem. Why are you suddenly asking this? You…”
Suzy already had an answer. She slowly said, “Don’t hide it from me. The Carters family told me.”
Ervin fell silent.
“Does Evan know about this as well?”
“Mm.” Ervin nodded. “Mr. Hughes didn’t want you to feel too much pressure, so he told me to hide it from you.”
Suzy lowered her gaze.
“What did the Carters family tell you? Do they have the antidote?”
“No.”
Hearing these two words, Ervin felt sad, but he still comforted her. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, the Doctor Silas can make the antidote. I’m trying my best to find him.”
Hearing this, Suzy raised his eyes, and a doubt flashed across her face. “Doctor Silas?”
“Mm. There is nothing in this world that Doctor Silas cannot cure, but…” Ervin didn’t finish his sentence.
A glimmer of hope flashed across Suzy’s face. “But what? Mr. Chaplin, tell me everything you know.”
“He announced that he would stop seeing patients three years ago. Now… there’s no news about him. It’s a little difficult to find him.”
Looking at Ervin’s expression, Suzy understood this wasn’t just a bit difficult; it was tough.
She smiled helplessly. “I know. Thank you, Mr. Chaplin… Can you not tell Evan that I’ve found out that I was poisoned? And don’t tell him either. I’m here to see you today.”
“Ah?” Ervin was startled. “Suzy, what are you trying to do?”
Suzy asked, “Do you think Evan likes me?”
Ervin immediately replied, “That’s for sure.”
All these years, other than Cherry, he had never seen Evan be so friendly to another woman!
Suzy was very clear about Evan’s feelings for her. She vaguely remembered what she had heard when she was sleeping that day.
“If anything happens to you, I’ll go crazy.”
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said indifferently, “It’s better to leave him in another way than to watch me die…”
As she finished speaking, Ervin immediately understood her thoughts.
“Okay, I will help you hide it from him. By the way, the medicine I prescribed for you before can delay the outbreak of the poison for about half a year. Don’t worry; we still have a chance to find Doctor Silas.”
Half a year… This was undoubtedly good news for the current Suzy. Suzy thanked Ervin once again.
When she was about to leave, Suzy suddenly remembered something. When she walked to the door, she asked, “By the way, Mr. Chaplin, how is Levy’s condition?”
“His vital signs have been stable recently. He will probably wake up in a few days.” Ervin paused and looked at Suzy in surprise. “Don’t tell me you want him to never wake up…”
He knew that although Suzy looked gentle on the surface, she was as ruthless as Evan!
“No, no, I just ask,” Suzy laughed.
She didn’t hate Levy so much that she wanted him dead.
Ervin let out a breath of relief.
He was a doctor and did not want to help Suzy kill someone.
After watching Suzy leave, Ervin’s eyes were filled with worry.
It had to be said that Evan and Suzy were indeed a good match in various aspects, but the Smith family and Fluid-K were not easy to deal with.
These two matters meant that they still had a long way to go.
The next afternoon, when Suzy was about to get off work, she sent Janet away. When it was time to get off work, Victor came to pick her up from Starlight Pictures for the auction.
The auction was grand. It would be held once a year, and this year’s auction would be held in Somo City.
The auction format wasn’t publicized, and no one knew who took away the final item…
Suzy and Victor arrived at the hotel, put on their masks, and walked into the auction venue.
There were already many people present, and the atmosphere was quiet. However, the lights were dim, and they were all wearing masks, so it was impossible to see who had come.
Suzy and Victor found their seats and sat down. A few minutes later, the auction officially began.
The items in front were all extinct calligraphy, paintings, and antiques. Suzy wasn’t interested in them and thought that Evan probably wasn’t interested in them either.
When it came to the third item was a blue crystal necklace.
The lights on the auction table were dazzling, and the gems in the transparent glass boxes seemed to be shining, making people unable to take their eyes off.
The host opened his mouth and introduced: “This necklace is called Azurain. It was Mr. Fleming’s final creation when he was alive. I’m sure everyone has heard of it…”
“Azurain, starting price, five million…”
After the host’s introduction, the auction began.
The first to raise the bid was Victor, who was by Suzy’s side.
“Six million.”
Suzy was shocked and hurriedly turned around and asked in a low voice. “Who are you giving it to?”
“You,” Victor said indifferently.
Suzy was speechless.
