StarNovelAllison went with the police to the station to give her statement.
By the tCarolyn woke up, it was almost eleven in the morning. Allison had already finished at the station and
was back in the hospital room.
Carolyn opened her eyes, a wave of dizziness washing over her. She looked pale,
and there were still traces of exhaustion lingering on her face. Once her eyes
adjusted to the light, she noticed someone moving around the room.
"Allison?" Carolyn's voice was rough and scratchy.
"You're awake?" Allison turned, relief flickering in her eyes.
Carolyn frowned, confused. "Where am I... Is this a hospital?"
"Yeah," Allison said, handing her a glass of water. "Here, drink some."
Carolyn propped herself up, took the glass, and sipped gratefully. "Thanks."
Allison sat down beside her, her expression soft with concern. "How are you feeling? Any better?"
Carolyn hesitated. "My head's spinning, and | feel so weak. What happened? Why am | here?"
Allison let out a gentle sigh. "Last night, | saw a few creepy guys dragging you outside the bar. | went over
because something felt off, and realized they'd drugged you. | called the police, and Brooklyn showed up-she

Carolyn's eyes grew wide in shock. "They drugged me? With what?"
Allison looked uncomfortable. "It was... something to mess with your hormones. You know, the kind of thing
scumbags use to take advantage of people."
Carolyn's brows knit together. She fell silent, staring at the blanket.
A few minutes passed before Allison spoke again, giving her tto process. "Ms. Witt, the person who drugged
you is in custody. If you want, you can go see him at the station."
Carolyn looked over at Allison, her gaze complicated. "Allison, why did you help me? Aren't we supposed to be
rivals? Shouldn't you have been happy to seein trouble?"
Allison frowned, a hint of annoyance in her voice. Ms. Witt, do you really think I'm that petty? We've got no real
beef. How could | just stand by and watch you get hurt? Besides, we're both women-we should have each other's
backs."
Allison let out a short laugh, shaking her head in disbelief. "You seriously think I'd be glad to see you assaulted
just because we're rivals'? That's wild, Ms. Witt. I'm not hat twisted."
Carolyn looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Ms. Allison. That was out of line. Thank
you for savinglast night."
"It's no big deal. Really."
Carolyn finished her water.
Allison asked, "Are you hungry? | can order something. What do you feel like eating?"
Carolyn smiled, not bothering to be shy. "Well, if you're offering, I'd love the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and
braised shark fin from Xiangyuan House."

As Carolyn rattled off her order, whatever weird tension there had been between
