The private doctor Stephen kept on call had a guest room on the floor below. Samson had already phoned him a few minutes earlier.
The doctor arrived in a rush, medical kit in hand. When he saw Stephen's condition, his face turned pale.
With trembling hands, he administered an emergency injection.
Meanwhile, Samson dragged Hazel out of the suite and instructed the hotel's female staff to find her some clothes. Afterward, she was escorted straight to the police station.
Only after making sure she was dealt with did Samson hurry back upstairs to check on Stephen.
"Doctor, how is Mr. Jacobson doing?" Samson asked anxiously.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his brow and took a moment to steady his breathing before replying, "Since we don't know exactly what she gave him, I couldn't administer a targeted antidote. I only gave him something to temporarily ease the symptoms.
"He's stable for now, but he needs to get to the hospital immediately. There's no time to waste."
Samson nodded quickly. "Understood. I'll arrange for transport right away."
…
An hour later, Stephen finally regained full consciousness. He lay in the hospital bed, his face still a little pale.
Samson stood nearby with his head bowed low.
"Mr. Jacobson, this was my fault. I'll accept whatever punishment you decide. Please… just don't fire me. I can't afford to lose this job."
Stephen's gaze turned sharp as a blade. "How did she get into my room?"
Samson lowered his head even further, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Roughly 20 minutes before it happened, I ran into Hazel in the hotel lobby. She was in such a rush that she bumped right into me. Your keycard was in my jacket pocket… She must've taken it then."
As Stephen's personal assistant, Samson always carried a spare card for emergencies.
Stephen's tone turned icy. "And you didn't realize it had gone missing?"
Samson shuddered. "I apologize, Mr. Jacobson. It was my negligence."
"Where is she now?"
"She's been taken to the police station."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
