Chapter 493
Chapter 493:
Henrik held Khloe tightly, protecting her from the others, and slowly, her trembling began to subside.
Seeing how fragile she was, Henrik turned his gaze to the doctor. “What's going on with her? Why is she so out
of it but still reacting so strongly? | know Dark Shadow is a strong aphrodisiac, but it shouldn't cause
hallucinations this severe.”
The head doctor of the medical team watched Khloe carefully, his expression growing thoughtful. After a
moment, he spoke seriously. “I suspect she has been exposed to this drug before. Her reaction suggests she
might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.”
Henrik’s eyes hardened, his gaze turning cold and sharp, and the room seemed to grow colder in response.
Tightening his grip on Khloe’s hand, he demanded, “What are you saying? She’s been exposed to this drug
before?”
Shaken by Henrik’s intense anger, the doctor hesitated but pressed on. “We can’t be certain yet. Further tests
and inquiries are necessary. But based on her current state, it's clear her past experiences have left deep
emotional scars. Normal treatments won't be enough. Right now, we must focus on easing the drug's effects and

Henrik’s brows furrowed as his chest rose and fell with restrained fury. He raised his head slowly, and his eyes
scanned the faces in the room.
“Tellhow to help her now. And letmake this clear—if anyone breathes a word about what happened
today, they'll regret it!”
Henrik’s tone was unquestionable, and the powerful aura he exuded made it feel as though the entire room was
shrouded in a layer of frost.
The doctors were so intimidated by his presence that they fell silent. After a long pause, the head doctor finally
spoke in a trembling voice. “Mr. Watson, the Dark Shadow is extremely unique. As of now, we don’t have any
specific drug that can counteract its effects. The only thing we can do is keep Miss Evans in cold water. The low
temperature will help delay the potion’s activation. After soaking her, we can replenish her lost fluids through an
infusion. This will also help prevent her from catching a cold. However, it will still depend on her own willpower to
survive the most intense phase of the potion’s reaction.”
Henrik’s eyes grew even colder. “Is there no other way? It must be unbearable for her to be soaked in cold
water.”

The head doctor knew the decision wasn’t easy for Henrik. But there was nothing more that could be done.
Henrik had even undergone surgery without anesthesia. Yet, now, he was deeply concerned about Khloe's
discomfort from the cold water. The doctor shook his head. “Mr. Watson, we would like nothing more than a
better solution. But the current medical methods are limited in dealing with this. Although this method is painful,
it is relatively effective.”
Henrik took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart. He looked down at Khloe,
struggling in pain in his arms, and said decisively, “Okay, | understand. Prepare the infusion supplies and
equipment and wait outside.”
Having made his decision, Henrik didn’t hesitate. He held Khloe in his arms and strode toward the bathroom.
Inside the bathroom, he held Khloe with one arm while turning on the tap, allowing cold water to slowly fill the
bathtub. His gaze never left Khloe, his eyes filled with concern and tenderness.
When the bathtub was full, Henrik carefully removed Khloe’s shoes and socks. But he didn’t submerge her in the
water just yet.
Instead, he stepped into the bathtub first. Then, he gently lifted her and placed her in the water, allowing her to
lean against his chest.
Henrik used his own body as a cushion to provide ssupport, wanting to ease Khloe’s discomfort as much as

The icy water instantly soaked their clothes, but Henrik seemed oblivious to the cold. His arms wrapped around
her, ensuring she was secure and could feel his presence.
