Chapter 2831
As Regina lay unconscious, unaware of her father’s actions, she had no idea that these. very actions would make it impossible for her to face Nolan for a long time to come.
Meanwhile, Nolan, who had left the hotel still preoccupied with thoughts of Regina, couldn’t have imagined that Francis, whom he had little regard for, was actually plotting against him.
Without Francis’ interference, perhaps Nolan could have eventually fallen for Regina on his own. But now, with Francis meddling, the possibility of a normal start for the two of them was ruined.
Nolan despised marriages arranged by others. He despised even more the feeling of being manipulated.
When Regina finally woke, she felt disoriented and unsure where she was. But she was aware that something had gone wrong.
She wiggled her fingers slightly, and Francis, who had been vigilantly at her side, awoke. too. Even though he had temporarily believed Imogen’s story, he insisted on staying with. Regina and sent Madeline home to accompany his wife.
“Regina, you’re finally awake. You gave your dad quite the scare.” Francis said, wiping his face and immediately pressing the button to call the nurse and have Regina checked over.

“Sleeping pill?” Regina asked instinctively, “Why would there be sleeping pills in my body? I never take those.”
The nurse glanced at Francis, indicating that this was outside her purvie
purview.
He waved the nurses away, then sat down in the chair beside her bed in silence.
Regina persisted, “Dad, what exactly happened? I won’t be able to rest until I know. Your know how I am.”
He sighed deeply, “Do you understand? Someone drugged you at work. If Nolan hadn’t arrived when he did, I can’t bear to think of what might have happened to you.”

A delayed expression of fear crossed Regina’s face, “What do you mean? Dad, you must be joking, right? Someone slipped me a sleeping pill? Was someone trying to… harm.
me?”
