Portia hurriedly helped Refra back into the room.
"Bear with it. I'll call an ambulance."
"Don't call an ambulance. I'm fine," Refra said with difficulty.
"Why? You're hurt like this. "
Portia looked at Refra anxiously.
"I said I'm fine. Help me into my room."
Portia helped Refra back into the room.
Zevra said in a weak voice, "There's a bottle in my desk drawer. Bring it to me."
Portia opened the drawer. There was a bottle of white liquid inside.
However, there was no brand on it. Portia didn't know what kind of medicine it was.
Portia brought the bottle to Refra, hesitating whether to give it to her or not.
"Refra, are you sure the liquid in the bottle is drinkable? I think it's best to find a professional doctor. "
"I know what I'm doing."
Even in her weakest state, Refra was still very conscious.
"Okay." Portia handed the bottle to Refra.
Refra opened the bottle and drank the white liquid in one gulp.
The liquid in the bottle could only temporarily relieve her injuries.
She had other medicines, but most of them could only be used when she was in real danger. She couldn't use them now.
Portia was still worried. After a long hesitation, she said, "Refra, our boss is a doctor. I'll ask him to take a look at your injuries. Don't worry, our boss won't tell anyone about your injuries. "
Refra also hesitated for a while, but she finally nodded. "Okay."
Portia immediately called Chen Zhao.
"Portia, give me a reason not to kill you." Chen Zhao's tone was rather nasty. "Do you know what time it is?"
"Boss … Um … There's a problem at home. My roommate is hurt."
"Send her to the hospital if she's hurt. Why are you calling me?"
"Aren't you an illegal doctor?"
"Then?"
"I want to hire you now."
"Ha … Portia, do you know how much I get paid?"
"How much?"
"Including the price for disturbing my sleep, I'll give you a discount. Two million dollars."
Portia's voice immediately became sharp and resounding, "Are you crazy? How could anyone pay such a high price?"
"You know that two million dollars might not be enough to hire me. If I don't know you, you'll have to pay more."
"I don't have that much money."
"You can pay on credit. Write me an IOU."
"I have no money," Portia said angrily.
"Alright then, I'm going to bed. Good night."
"Boss, I'm really in a hurry."
"We'll talk tomorrow."
With that, he hung up.
Portia angrily smashed the phone on the floor.
"Bastard bastard bastard … this bastard."
After venting her frustrations, Portia picked up her phone again.
"Good, good, I didn't break the phone."
Portia looked at Zefra apologetically. "Zefra, I'm sorry. That bastard refused to come."
"It's okay."
"Take a rest first. I'll call the boss in the morning," said Portia.
"Alright."
Portia looked at Zefra. Zefra didn't even close her eyes and just laid there weakly.
"Portia, take a nap."
"I'm not used to sleeping at a time like this."
As a dragon slayer, Zefra had been injured many times.
Every time she was injured, she would stay awake the entire time.
She would never allow herself to fall into a deep sleep.
Portia couldn't understand. Why didn't she sleep with such a serious injury?
Why didn't she call a doctor?
"Zefra, who hurt you? Are you sure we don't need to call the police? "
"I said it's okay. I fell and hurt myself," Zefra said calmly.
Fell and hurt? Portia looked at Zefra. "Zefra, can't you be more careful with your lies?"
Portia couldn't feel the sincerity in Zefra's lies at all.
Zefra just lay there in silence.
Portia stayed up until dawn, helping to take care of Zefra the whole time.
"Zefra, I think I should raise the rent. Have you ever seen such a responsible roommate?"
"You can go to sleep. I don't need your care."
"I really don't understand. Why don't you sleep? At least you'll feel better." Portia looked at Zefra. Even she felt uncomfortable.
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to sleep anymore.
But Zefra was so seriously injured, yet she didn't sleep.
Portia dialed Chen Zhao's number again.
"Boss, if you don't come to treat my friend, I won't be able to go to work. Also, I won't be able to go next week."
"You're threatening me."
"I'm not threatening you …" Portia's voice softened. "I'm just telling you the truth."
"Just you wait." Chen Zhao was furious.
It was already an hour later when Chen Zhao arrived at Portia's house.
When he knocked on Portia's door, Portia started to complain.
"Boss, you're too slow."
"Who told you to live so far away?"
"Who told you to pay me so little? I can only live so far away."
"Who told you not to be capable enough? If you were, I'd pay you more."
"Who told you to only give me so little work? I didn't even have the chance to show off."
"If you think the work is too little, I'll be happy to give you more work." Chen Zhao sneered at Portia.
After entering Portia's house, Chen Zhao studied the place. "Is this where you're renting? It looks nice. "
If she hadn't seen Chen Zhao's house, Portia would think that it was nice.
But after seeing Mingyue Villa and Mirror Lake Villa, Portia felt that her house was shabby.
Chen Zhao's words were even more hypocritical.
Chen Zhao sniffed. "What a heavy smell of blood. Is it your friend's blood?"
"Yes, she vomited a few mouthfuls of blood last night."
Portia glanced at Chen Zhao, complaining. "She didn't sleep at all last night. Her eyes were wide open the whole time. I feel bad just looking at her. She's so injured and still won't sleep. I don't know what she's thinking."
"Why didn't you call an ambulance? Did you call the police? "Chen Zhao asked.
"She won't let me."
"Won't let me? Why? "
"I don't know."
Portia brought Chen Zhao into Zefra's room.
However, the room was empty. There was no one on the bed.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao saw Zefra hiding behind the door.
Zefra attacked him from behind. Without any hesitation, Chen Zhao threw Zefra over his shoulder, throwing her heavily to the front.
