Chapter 325 A Girls Hear (1/2)

Marlene frowned, then slowly opened her eyes.

She narrowed her eyes as she was dazzled by the bright morning sun. She reached out her hands to cover her eyes. She was still in confused state and didn't know what was going on. But soon, she seemed to realize something and hurriedly got up.

”What am I…”

She subconsciously looked around, but she only saw plain curtains, white sheets, and clean walls. Her surroundings could be said to be unfamiliar, yet they also felt familiar. Seeing the piles of books that laid on the side of the tables, she quickly realized that she was in her own room.

What's going on?

Marlene shook her head. She still remembered what she had encountered yesterday. Ellenson had changed, there was a strange man, and her situation at that time…

”You've woken up?”

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. Hearing this voice, the girl quickly turned around and saw Rhode who was quietly watching her while sitting in a chair not far from her.

”Mr. Rhode?!”

Seeing Rhode's figure, Marlene couldn't help but scream. She was perplexed; she couldn't figure out what was happening and what kind of situation she was in. She only remembered that when she accepted Ellenson's invitation for evening tea, she was drugged. Later on, she met a strange man who said he would turn her into her slave and gave her a strange potion… Thinking until here, Marlene's heart couldn't help but sink. Although at that time, she already resisted, but the effect of that strange potion was too strong. She even thought of biting her own tongue to commit suicide. However, back then, it was even difficult for her to speak, so she didn't even have the strength to bite her tongue. It seemed like that strange man had taken out a beautiful gem and she didn't remember anything afterward…

Now, she was actually in her own room. But why was Mr. Rhode there?

Marlene was puzzled. She frowned as she was trying hard to recall what had happened. Then, she vaguely remembered something. She seemed to have done something… something… something… very embarrassing!!

”It seems like you are surprised?”

Just as Marlene was trying hard to recall her memories, Rhode's voice once again sounded. This time, Marlene gave up thinking, she looked at Rhode and nodded.

”That's right, Mr. Rhode. If I remember correctly, I was supposed to be in a mansion, with a strange man… and… and…”

Having said that, Marlene wasn't able to continue. She was a girl, after all; naturally, she would be too embarrassed to say that she was drugged. Moreover, she still couldn't figure out her current situation. If she woke up in that strange mansion or lying naked in a prison, she might still understand what was happening. However, her current situation was so strange and she couldn't even relate the things that happened.

At this moment, Rhode's voice echoed.

”I know that you're confused, so let me explain…”

As for how to explain this matter to Marlene, Rhode had already found the answer along the way. Concealing this matter was impossible since both of them had done it and Marlene was a virgin. She would have noticed the anomaly once she recovered. It was better to tell her the truth to prevent her from having silly thoughts, rather than hiding it and made her felt uncomfortable. Certainly, he also knew that it was also not a very good choice. Marlene had a high status, and her first time was also supposed to be a precious thing. For it to be taken away without her permission, Rhode, of course, could understand her feelings. Even though the relationship between them wasn't bad, but he knew that there was still a distinction in this case. In the best case scenario, she might have a good impression towards him and accept it. If that so, then it would be a happy ending. But in the worst case scenario, Marlene might not have any feelings towards him and even if she accepted his explanation, she would still end up suspicious and worried if there would be a second time. She would also be very awkward around him. If that happened, then Marlene might choose to distance herself… or even cut off any relationship between them.

If that happened, Rhode would be very disappointed. Since he had the sense of responsibility, he would accept the consequences of the things that he had done. Evading the problem wouldn't solve anything.

Rhode also didn't know for sure what happened to her before that, so he could only explain the matter according to his point of view, including what he had done to her. Of course, when he mentioned this matter, Rhode didn't make any excuses. Since it was the fact, he didn't think that there was any need to explain unnecessary things. But Rhode was also relieved after he read the information regarding Marlene's current condition from the stronghold system. It was a relief that the detoxification method worked. Looking at her eyes, there also didn't seem to be any side effects.
