Trapped by Him

Chapter 39

Ch. 37 / 398 Feb 22, 2026

Gloria was lost in her memories, and she did not hear those unpleasant words from Lillian.

"Gloria, you scolded me for being mean just now, and now you are going to play dumb?"

Lillian's sharp voice was mixed with Gloria's panicked cry.

There was a loud bang.

Gloria fell and her head hit the doorknob. She gasped and turned to look at Lillian, who was shocked.

Blood streamed down her forehead, and her world became a red blur.

Gloria found that Lillian looked frightened.

What happened?

"It's not me! It has nothing to do with me! You didn't stand firm. It has nothing to do with me!"

Gloria's vision became more blurred, and the last scene she saw was Lillian panicking and running past her out of the room.

Her vision was blurring, and she was still confused. What happened to Lillian?

"Christine, I want to ask for leave."

Gloria felt very sleepy, and she muttered to herself without knowing what she was talking about.

The sound of panicked footsteps was approaching. A person stood in front of Gloria, catching up her breath. "It has nothing to do with me. She was too weak. I only touched her but she fell to the ground just like that."

Lillian returned. She panted as she looked at Gloria, who was still lying on the ground. She looked at the blood on Gloria's forehead, took out her phone, and wanted to call an ambulance.

However, Lillian seemed to have second thoughts. She ended the call without hesitation.

She stared at the unconscious Gloria on the ground hesitantly. Suddenly, she crouched down, trying to pull her up.

Lillian almost used all her strength, afraid that she wouldn't be able to pull her up.

However, she found Gloria light as a feather.

She was surprised.

She must hurry since Gloria's life is in danger. Lillian pulled Gloria up and carried her on her shoulders. She rushed out of the room and headed for the stairs.

She hailed a taxi and took Gloria to the hospital.

Lillian had a complicated expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her phone and called her superior.

"I have to take leave today. My roommate is not feeling well, and she fell when she went out. Fortunately, I returned to the dormitory and found out. I'm taking her to the hospital now, and I'll stay with her. After that, I also need to ask for leave on her behalf. Okay, I know. She is my roommate and I'll take care of her."

A doctor came out of the emergency room. "Are you her relative?"

Lillian hesitated for a moment. "I am her colleague. Is she alright?"

The doctor looked serious. "Inform her family."

When Lillian heard this, her face turned pale with fright. She asked, "Doctor, is her life in danger?"

If Gloria was dead, would she become a murderer?

If someone found out that she made Gloria fall, she would be expelled from the school.

At this moment, Lillian thought of a lot of things. What would she do, if anything happened to Gloria and someone found out that it was her fault? What would Derrick think of her?

"Doctor, I'm just her colleague. Can you not save her?"

The doctor frowned and looked at Lillian weirdly. "Did I say that?"

"Then, why did you ask me to contact her family, if she isn't dying?"

"The cut on her forehead is quite big and she bled a lot. She should be brought in sooner. But that's not the problem. The problem is that she has a high fever. And judging from the situation, she already had it from last night. She needs to be hospitalized and rest more. You need to find someone to take care of her."

Lillian listened to the doctor nervously. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "I will take care of her. She doesn't have a family. I'm her roommate."

Gloria didn't have family or friends. When Lillian was chatting with Gloria one night, Gloria mentioned this, and Lillian remembered it.

The doctor glanced at Lillian and said, "You're a kind girl. Since you are willing to take care of her, that'll be great. You should go complete the procedure for her hospitalization."

"Okay, I will do it now."

Lillian took the forms and left. It was quite expensive. Her heart ached for the money she paid and she complained, "Hey, how come you fall so easily?"

It cost her a month's salary.

As she muttered, she went to the ward to take a look at the sleeping Gloria. She then left the hospital and headed for Fittro Club.

"What happened to Gloria?" Lillian went to the manager of the Public Relations Department to ask for leave. She told her that Gloria was sick and fell to the ground and needed some rest.

The manager was busy, and she wouldn't care much about a cleaner. The manager had no idea why Christine had transferred Gloria to her department.

In short, the manager did not have a good impression of Gloria. Moreover, she had to fire two call girls because of the trouble caused by Gloria.

Yuna and Ruby.

She wondered what was on Christine's mind. For such a useless person like Gloria, she fired Yuna and Ruby.

"Forget it. Tell her to rest as much as she needs." After Lillian left, the manager was busy with other things and forgot about this matter.

When Christine arrived at the Fittro Club, she couldn't find Gloria. She immediately called the manager of the Public Relations Department over.

She asked, "Did you see Gloria?"

The manager replied, "Gloria asked for leave today. She seems to be tired and wants to rest."

After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment. Then, she said cautiously, "Christine, after Gloria came to my department, she caused a lot of trouble. Will you consider sending her to a different department?"
