Chapter 937
Gabrielle was extremely displeased from being told what to do, and she retorted, “Are you going to boss me around too?”
The bodyguards were not afraid as they were under Romello’s direct order and maintained a firm attitude.
“Ms. Gabrielle, ensuring Ms. Phoebe’s safety is your mission on this trip. I’m just offering a friendly reminder.”
“What are you, my keeper? I don’t need your reminders.”
The bodyguard lowered his head, his voice cold and containing a hint of threat.
“You’re right, but we’re under Mr. Romello’s orders to protect you. Every word and action of yours today will be reported back to Mr. Romello.”
Gabrielle was furious.
“Are you threatening me?”
The bodyguard’s head drooped even lower.
“I wouldn’t dare to.
Although he said this, his attitude was far from respectful.
Gabrielle had never been treated like this before, but because of Romello’s authority, she could only swallow her anger and head toward Ford, stationed at the entrance of E&S
Haven.
Il to Sho “Um… Ford, how is Phoebe? Is she in the mansion? Can I make a call to Sheena and then go in to see her before I leave?”
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards behind her became serious, hiding their murderous intent behind lowered heads.
Ford glanced at the bodyguards behind Gabrielle and shook his head again, speaking truthfully, “The mansion is empty. No one’s home.”
Gabrielle asked, “Do you know where Phoebe has been taken?”
Ford smiled and replied, “I’m just Ms. Lawson’s hired bodyguard. My task is to carry out any duties. I’m not in a place to keep track of Ms. Lawson’s affairs.”

His smile was gentle, but his tone hinted at something else.
Gabrielle turned back, glancing sideways at the bodyguards behind her, and scoffed unhappily.
“Did you hear that? Phoebe isn’t at the mansion. Is there anything else you want to order me?”
The two bodyguards quickly bowed.
“No.”
Gabrielle cut them off and bid farewell to Ford before leaving the Jenkins estate, heading
home to relax.
In the lab, Yosef conducted tests on Phoebe’s body.
Half an hour later, he returned to the ward with the test results.
“The results show no major issues, just slightly elevated hormone levels, making her more prone to stress.”
Howard tightened his grip on Phoebe’s hand.
“Is that all? Can’t you find out if Romello injected her with anything?”
Yosef shook his head.
“All the drugs studied in the lab are chemical weapons with aggressive properties. They can harm the flesh and organs, but there are no drugs that affect the nerves, so it’s
impossible to determine what she’s been injected with.”
“If she really has been injected with psychiatric drugs, we need to know exactly what she’s been given to treat her properly.”
Sheena and Howard quickly fell silent in the room.
Only Romello knew exactly what drug she had been given.
However, Romello would never confess.
This situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Yosef administered a dose of sedatives to Phoebe.
Her emotions were too unstable right now, and she could not take pills while unconscious. Besides, even if she woke up, she would not willingly take them.

Hence, injection was the only option.
Yosef also prescribed some special medicine to treat the scars on her hands.
Howard was distraught, holding Phoebe’s hand tightly, on the verge of breaking down.
They had tried every means to save her from the Nicholls residence, and it was a miracle they had brought her to the lab.
However, they yielded no results.
Sheena sighed silently, walking up behind him and rubbing his head to comfort him.
“Howard, don’t lose hope. It’s only the first day. Let’s go back and discuss this again. There’s always a solution.”
Howard nodded, but he remained gloomy.
Sheena continued to persuade him.
“Don’t blame yourself for this. It’s not all your fault. Some things just happen, but once we solve them, everything will be alright.”
“Mm,” Howard responded softly.
Sheena knew he had not really taken her words to heart, so she did not say anything else, turning to leave the ward and leaving him alone with Phoebe for a while.
