Chapter 108
Daisy thought, ‘Does she really believe that these medicines are good for my health, or does she know there’s an issue with them and still wants me to take them?‘
She thought about how she had coughed up blood some time ago. If she continued to take the medicines, she would probably be hospitalized before finishing even ten boxes.
Seeing her sister staring at her without saying anything, Karen asked inexplicably, “Daisy, why are you looking at me like
that?”
As Daisy snapped out of her thoughts, she shook her head and said, “Nothing. I just feel that I’ve caused you to worry. I feel sorry for that.”
Karen immediately frowned and held Daisy’s hand, saying, “Daisy, why would you think like that? When you were married to Peter, you were the one who often sent me money to support me. If it weren’t for you, Jonas and I wouldn’t be where we are today, so it’s only right that I treat you well now.”
Karen’s words were very heartwarming and her gaze was sincere.
Daisy could not help but believe her.
She thought, ‘Perhaps she really doesn’t know anything and just wants me to nourish my body.”
The two of them chatted for a while, engaging in a heartfelt conversation. Half an hour later, Karen looked at her watch and said, “Daisy, I’m about to go back. I still have to make lunch for the child. I’ll leave first. Be sure to take your medicines and take good care of your health, okay?”
Daisy nodded and smiled as she said, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.”
It was only then that Karen stood up in relief. After saying goodbye to Daisy, Karen left with Emma.
After seeing Karen leave, Sophie and Roger returned to the room from the balcony.
“Janice, follow them and see if there’s anything suspicious.”
“Okay,” Janice replied with a nod. She then immediately tailed after them secretly.
Sophie went forward and opened the bottles of supplements that Karen had brought ove
The bottle caps were opened. True enough, she found out that the supplements had been repackaged for the second time upon closer inspection.
“These medicines have indeed been switched,” Sophie said as she looked at Daisy seriously.
At this moment, Daisy found it somewhat difficult to accept this outcome.
Previously, she had thought that these medicines had been switched at some point in the Nicholls family’s home.
Chapter 108
This time, her son and daughter–in–law were both here. It was only then that she realized that these medicines had already been tampered with when her sister brought them over…
“Sophie, is it possible that Karen doesn’t know about this?” Daisy said, still finding it somewhat hard to believe that this matter might be related to her sister.
After all, that was the sister she had taken care of since childhood.
Sophie looked at Daisy’s gaze and sighed helplessly.
The possibility was very low, but she still comforted her. “It’s possible, but if it’s not her, Emma will definitely be involved,” she said.
If these medicines were to be successfully delivered to Daisy, between this master and servant pair, at least one of them
had an issue.
However, based on their behavior of trying to persuade Daisy to take the medicines just now, Sophie had already concluded that both of them were involved in this matter.
Roger could tell that Sophie was just comforting his mother. His gaze was profound as he said in a low voice, “Mom, this matter still needs to be investigated. However, if you intend to cover up for Aunt Karen now, Sophie will be in a difficult position. We’re investigating this matter to protect you. You should be on our side.”
Roger’s words reminded Daisy.
She thought, “Yes. The two of them have already put in a lot of effort investigating this matter. I can’t cause them any more
trouble”
“Got it,” she said. “Just investigate this matter. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll accept it.”
It was only then that Sophie heaved a sigh of relief. She instinctively directed her gaze at Roger.
At this moment, she actually hoped that Roger could see the grateful look in her eyes as a way of thanking him.
Unfortunately… he could not see anything at all.
She could only wait for the right moment to thank him.
After the three of them waited for a short while, Janice returned.
Her expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she lowered her voice and said, “Mrs. Daisy, Mr. Roger, I followed their car and noticed that after traveling a short distance away from the Nicholls family’s home, the car stopped. Then… shortly afterward, Mrs. Jasmine’s personal servant, Lindsey Wallen, went out…”
Sophie and Roger’s eyes instantly turned cold.
They thought, ‘As expected, this matter is also related to the people of the Nicholls family!”
Seeing that Daisy and Roger’s expressions were grim, Janice could only continue, “Then, I saw Emma get out of the car and exchange a few words with Lindsey. It seemed that Lindsey then gave her a card. After that, Emma left in a hurry…”
Chapter 108
Daisy’s face was a little pale, but she could not help but ask, “You only saw Emma get out of the car, right? What about Karen? Did she get out of the car?”
Janice was stunned for a moment before replying. “She didn’t get out of the car.”
As Sophie looked at Daisy, she was not able to contain the sympathy in her eyes.
She thought, ‘At this point, Daisy still has a faint hope that her sister knows nothing and is just being deceived. But if Karen knows nothing, why would she instruct a servant to stop the car?”
Seeing that Daisy might not be able to accept the outcome, Sophie could only say, “Daisy, we still need more time to investigate this matter. You’re tired today, so just rest well,”
As Daisy snapped out of her thoughts, she nodded and said, “Wiright. Thank you both…
Roger shook his head and said, “You’re my mom. It’s only right that we worry about you.”
Daisy felt an indescribable sense of warmth.
After Roger told Janice to give his mother the medicine prescribed by Sophie on time, the two of them walked out of
Daisy’s room.
In the quiet corridor, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat gloomy.
Sophie understood that it was not just Daisy who could not accept this reality. Even Roger might find it difficult to accept.
It was only after the two of them entered the elevator that Roger said mockingly, “When I was a kid, Aunt Karen treated me well. She gave me everything to eat. When I was mischievous, and Mom wanted to hit me, Aunt Karen would always protect me whenever she was around.”
Sophie listened quietly. For a moment, she did not know how to comfort Roger
“After she got married, her husband liked to make useless investments which often led to losses, Roger continued. “Aunt Karen had no choice but to borrow money from Mom. However, at that time, Dad was around and the Nicholls family was not short of money, so whenever she wanted to borrow money, Mom would treat it as an investment for her and never let her return it.”
Roger recalled the past. For a moment, he could not recall when his aunt had started to change.
“Perhaps time can really change a person,” he said. “It’s just that we don’t know when she changed.”
However, Sophie could guess when it happened. She sighed and said, “I guess she started to change when you and your mom lost support and both of you were no longer useful to her in furthering her interests… Crocodiles are like that. Once their appetites grow bigger and their masters can’t feed them enough, they will look for other masters… They will even eat
their own masters…”
Although Sophie’s words were harsh, they reminded Roger.
He could not help but smile mockingly and said, “That’s right. I wonder how much money is in the card that Jasmine gave her to make her send her sister to death.”
Chapter 108
His smile was cruel and tinged with a touch of madness.
The atmosphere in the elevator instantly turned cold.
It also became suffocating.
