Chapter 965
“When I arrived, Adele was already having a seizure.
I have no idea what happened,” Sadie said nervously.
Holden cast an indifferent glance at her and asked, “Why are you here?”
With one hand resting on her chest, Sadie looked up at Holden, adopting a pitiful and vulnerable expression.
She said in a voice so soft it was almost a whisper, “I felt uncomfortable being alone in the hospital, and I missed you and Adele.
That’s why I came.
”
As Sadie spoke, she attempted to move closer to Holden.
However, he quietly avoided her.
He walked over to Adele and crouched down to examine her.
Sitting on the sofa, Adele had already calmed down.
The effects of the drug made her look lethargic, and her eyes were blinking incessantly.
When Adele let out a yawn, Sadie was quick to be motherly and caring.
“Adele looks tired.
I’ll take her to bed,” she said at once.
Holden nodded in agreement, and watched Sadie take Adele to the innermost room.
Once Sadie’s figure had disappeared, Holden turned his gaze to the bodyguard and said firmly, “Now, tell me what was really going on.
”
The bodyguard hesitated, feeling nervous under Holden’s intense gaze.
Finally, he reluctantly explained, “After Mr.
Williams left, Miss Edwards also left with her child.
Then all of a sudden, Adele had a seizure.
”
Holden thought something was off.
Although Adele could have seizures due to external stimuli, she seldom experienced such severe episodes.
Something else must have happened.
Holden glared at the bodyguard with a stern gaze and said coldly,
“You either tell me the truth or you leave directly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was so tense that it could be cut with a knife.
The bodyguard couldn’t resist the pressure and confessed, “It was right after Mr.
Williams left.
Miss Pierre came in and she had a heated argument with Miss Edwards.
Adele probably had a breakdown from witnessing the confrontation.
”
“What were they arguing about?” Holden asked again, with a furrowed brow.
“Miss Pierre claimed that the boy who had bullied Adele on the ship deck was Miss Edwards’ son.
She insisted that I drive Miss Edwards away.
Miss Edwards was angered by the situation and she left by herself,” the bodyguard explained.
Seeing that Holden’s face had darkened, the bodyguard hurriedly added,
“It was Miss Pierre who stopped me from telling you the truth.
She threatened to fire me if I said a word about it.
