Chapter 333 Asking About Cedrick

The bitterness in Cedrick’s mouth was so thick that he could not even speak. He downed a whole glass of water before the bitterness subsided.

After taking the medicine, he felt drained. He collapsed against the bed frame. His eyelashes fluttered as his entire body trembled. He felt weak.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the men from the Federal Bureau of Investigation were halted by the guards outside the gates of the villa. They were surprised to see Asher appear.

“Why is Mr. Asher here? Where is Mr. Jenson?”

“He is down with flu and fever. I’m taking care of him on behalf of my sister. You can deal with me directly,” replied Asher with a rather bored expression.

“Uh…”

Asher frowned in displeasure.
