Yes, he intentionally got her drunk. Then he was making his rounds at the hospital, he overheard Bent and his mother comment about how Bethany and Zayn were getting ever closer. He immediately became jealous of him. as Zayn managed to achieve in two months what he could not in five years.
Thus, he took the opportunity of celebrating his published paper to take advantage of her. Once she was his, then she would be together with him. He could not allow anyone to thwart hisS plans! On thinking about this, Jeff started to rage furiously.
Davis who was observing from one side was startled by his expression. So, the usually soft -spoken and gentle Jeff who was beloved by all his patients had this nasty temperament.
It was said that people with nasty temperaments who could rage uncontrollably were troubled mentally. Could Jeff be one of them? Davis looked at Jeff with doubt. Jeff also noticed and glared at him.
Davis felt a chill running down his spine with Jeff's evil. "You have no right to refuse.” Zayn reached to grab Bethany's wrist and wanted to pull her from Jeff's embrace. Though Zayn was swift, Jeff was no slouch. He also managed to grab Bethany's other hand.
She was tugged by them and her head shook uncomfortably. Davis could not let this go on any further. He stepped forward and placed his hand on Jeff's hand which was grabbing onto Bethany.
He then smiled as he pried Jeff's fingers and said, "heard that your paper was published. Shall we discuss your findings?” He looked toward Zayn as he said to signal to him to leave with Bethany. Jeff knew that Davis was helping Zayn getaway.
He looked angrily at him and yelled, "Piss off!” "No!" Davis looked down and although he knew that he was no match for Jeff, he was determined to block him. Zayn looked at Davis and carried Bethany is in his arms.
He quickly left as Jeff was yelling at Davis. At the carpark, Gael saw from afar that Zayn was walking towards him with a lady in his arms.
Gael hurried over and then saw that the lady was Bethany. He then said with utter surprise, "Mr. Meyer, how did you and Ms. Quest meet here?” Zayn did not reply. He placed Bethany in the car and ordered, "Drive!" "Yes Sir!” Gael frantically answered and started the engine.
Suddenly, he saw from the rearview mirror two men running towards them. He looked back at Zayn and asked, "Mr. Meyer, it's Doctor Davis and Doctor Beltran.
Shall we wait for them? Zayn looked out and it was obvious that Davis could not stop Jeff. Jeff was now running after them. Zayn pursed his lips and said, "No need. Drive!" Gael nodded and sped off from the carpark.
Bethany was increasingly drowsy as they drove. She was quite a moment ago but now she began to laugh hysterically.
Gael looked behind and said, "Mr. Meyer, Ms. Quest may start to throw a drunkard fit." Zayn frowned as he looked at Bethany laughed sheepishly and said, Drive faster." "Yes Sir," Gael answered As the car accelerated, Bethany lost her balance and collapsed onto the Seat.
Zayn placed his phone down and help her up. She then hugged his arm and then leaned into his embrace. Zayn tensed up and asked, "What are you doing?" Bethany blinked in confusion and said, "Water, I'm thirsty... .
Zayn tapped the driver's headrest. Gael shrugged helplessly and said, "Mr. Meyer, this is a new car. I still have not stocked it with water."
On hearing this, Zayn's expression darkened, and then said to Bethany, "Drink when you get home.”
"No, I want to drink now., ” Bethany started to throw a tantrum.
She looked upset as she smacked the seat on either side of her. This was the first time Zayn saw her behaving like this.
He raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "I already said there is no water!”
"You liar! There is! There's even jelly!” Bethany looked at him pitifully on the verge of tears.
"Jelly? ” Zayn frowned, "What jelly?”
“Here!” Bethany knelt on the seat and then as Zayn was confused and looked at her, she grabbed his face and a bit down on his lips.

Zayn was stunned.
Gael who was driving the car was equally shocked and almost veered off the road:
What did he just see? The president was forcefully kissed by Bethany?
“Hey, why can l bite it off?” Bethany did not know what she was doing. She only knew that she could not bite off the jelly and was rather upset. She then bit down even stronger as if she just had to eat the piece of jelly.
Zayn was moaning in pain and started to taste blood in his mouth. He knew by then. that she had bitten through his skin.
Even then, Zayn did not push Bethany off. Instead, he just continued to look at her.
He stared at her for a while before grabbing the back of her head and kissing her passionately.
Gael was secretly looking at them. He quickly looked away when he saw Zayn take the initiative and kiss Bethany. He dared not look any more and quickly raised the partition.
Bethany began to enjoy the kiss and slumped in his embrace. She might slide down the seat.If Zayn hasn't been hugging her, she would have fallen off.
Her actions were provocative and caused Zayn to lose his self-control, He started to kiss her even more passionately.
At this time, Bethany suddenly heaved uncomfortably. Zayn snapped back to his senses and pushed her away.
Bethany slumped on the seat and then started to vomit all over. Instantly, the stench of vomit
alcohol and stomach acid filled the entire car. the odor was putrid.
Zayn lost his desire and his eyebrows twitched. He was enduring the desire to push her out of the car. He frowned as he wound down the window to let in the fresh air.
A few seconds later, he felt better after the fresh air filled the car. He was still rather upset.
Bethany fell asleep after she finished vomiting. Zayn frowned as he looked at her pathetic.
They reached the apartment soon.
Zayn exited the car and frowned as he carried Bethany out of the car.
Gael saw that the back seat was filled with vomit, controlled his disgust, and pointed at Bethany and asked, "Mr. Meyer, did Ms. Quest vomit?”
Zayn acknowledged coldly and said,“ Go back on your own ”
"Mr. Meyer, you'd be staying here tonight? Gael asked.
Zayn confirmed and then carried Bethany toward the apartment. Gael shook his head gently as he saw them leave.
Looks like Mr. Meyer had fallen for her. Gael thought to himself.
Zayn was a clean freak but he did not even mind Bethany's vomit. Love was indeed blind
Zayn carried Bethany to her apartment and then pressed the doorbell. He was puzzled when no one opened the door, her friend was not home? Zayn looked at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms.
She was even smacking lips. God knows what she was dreaming. Zayn could only bring her into his apartment.
Zayn placed Bethany on the sofa. He went to the room to get a towel and took a shower
After his shower, Zayn walked towards the sofa as he was drying his hair and
several seconds before tossing the towel away.Then, carrying her into the bathroom.
He then placed her into the bathtub which he had filled up with water.
Bethany woke up as soon as she touched the water .She grabbed the sides of the bathtub and asked, "What happened?”
She only calm down only when she saw Zayn beside her.
"Mr. Meyer?” Bethany started to shake her dizzy head, "Where are we? Why am I in the
bathtub"
“This is my apartment And I put you into the bathtub to sober up!" Zayn looked down upon her and said calmly.
Bethany rubbed her throbbing temples and said, "But why am I with you? Wasn't I with Jeff”
The tender way she mentioned Jeff was ear piercing to Zayn's ears. He frowned and asked, “Don't you remember?"
“Remember what? Bethany splashed some water onto her face to help him sober.
Zayn crossed his arms and said, “Jeff intentionally got you drunk and wanted to advantage of you. That was I took you from him”
“Impossible!" Bethany stood up suddenly caused a splash.
Zayn narrowed his eye and asked. “don't believe me?"
Bethany looked sternly at Zayn, “Mr. Meyer, it's not that I don't believe you. that it's impossible, I had known Jeff for so long and he is not that type of man”
Zayn looked back at her and scoffed,” Five years and you can't even see through him. You are truly blind” After saying this, Zayn looked at her and then left the bathroom.
Could the extent of understanding a person to be measured by how long she knew him?
Regardless, he had told her the truth and it was up to her to believe it. Her ability to judge a person was severely in doubt.
Bethany bit her lips as she sat back down in the bathtub. She began to be lost in her thoughts as she stared at the water.
Was she blind? No, she was not. It was just that she did not want to think about it that way.
was not for Jeff, her family of two would not have survived. She could not bring herself to suspect Jeff.
However, she did not think that Zayn was lying. Perhaps Zayn misunderstood when he saw her drinking with Jeff. She felt much better thinking that way.
She took off her clothes and bathed before she caught a cold. After the bath, she wore the bathrobe, it was very large and long.
Bethany covered herself up as best as she could and folded up some portion of the sleeve. She then looked for a bag and put her clothes in and left the bathroom.
“ Mr. Meyer, did you see my handbag,” Bethany asked Zayn who was wearing the same bathrobe.
Zayn was looking at his iPad and then said. coldly, "On the shoe cabinet. Your clothes are there too”
"Clothes?" Bethany looked puzzled at the bag in her hands.
Aren't my clothes in my hands? She thought Zayn did not explain further and Bethany just walked over for a look. She saw a bag beside her handbag. She looked into the bag and saw that it was the clothes that Madam Meyer had splashed the coffee onto. No wonder she felt though she had forgotten something when she showered and left his office. So, she had forgotten her clothes then.
Bethany smacked her head for feeling silly and then took out the clothes.
Immediately, she could smell the fragrance of the clean clothes and she quickly looked at where the coffee stains were. The stains were gone and she then looked towards
