His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 408

Tessa then followed the police officer to the station to give a statement of her own.

When Marissa finally stirred from slumber, it was already 11:00 am. Tessa had left the police station and returned to the hospital by then.

Marissa felt dizzy when she peeled her eyes open. Her complexion was pallid, and her face was lined with fatigue. After allowing her eyes to adjust to the bright lights, Marissa looked around the room, taking in the blurry silhouettes that were moving about.

"Tessa?" Marissa murmured, her voice hoarse.

"You're awake," Tessa replied, turning to face her.

Marissa's brows knitted together. "Is this… the hospital?" she asked.

"Yes." Tessa handed her a glass of water. "Here, drink this."

Marissa pushed herself into a sitting position. She accepted the water Tessa offered her and took a few sips. "Thank you," she said.

Tessa sat down on the edge of the bed and studied Marissa, concern evident in her eyes. Her voice was soft when she asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel better?"

Marissa's lips parted slightly before she said, "I'm dizzy, and my entire body feels sapped of strength. Why am I feeling like this? How did I end up in the hospital?"

Tessa explained, "Last night, I saw you being carried by a group of men who looked like they were up to no good at the entrance of a bar, so I decided to check out what was happening. They drugged you. The police have been informed, and Wynn also beat those thugs to a pulp to save you."

"I was drugged?" Marissa asked, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. "What type of drug did they use on me?"

Tessa pressed her lips together. "It's a type of drug that heightens a person's libido, also known as an aphrodisiac."

Marissa's brow furrowed tightly as she stayed mute. Tessa gave her a few minutes to process this undoubtedly shocking news before she spoke up again. "Ms. Scott, the man who drugged you last night has been arrested and thrown into jail. You can drop by the station to take a look at him if you'd like."
