Kevin and Tania’s faces kept flashing before my eyes. I wanted to confirm my
suspicion, but my inner self vehemently denied it. There was no way I could
accept this truth. This can’t be true!
Kevin loved me. From the moment we met and got to know each other, to
falling in love and finally building our family with our three adorable children,
he had always showered me with affection. We had
er argued over the
past ten years, and his tender love had only strengthened my faith in him.
How could he possibly betray me? No, that’s impossible!
That being said, it wouldn’t make sense to accuse Tania either. I didn’t even
know her before she came to our house. There was no grudge between us
from the past or present, and she was definitely one of the highest–paid
professionals in her field.

seemed to be a competent and organized person. After graduating from
high school, she entered the profession and became an accomplished
housekeeper.
When I hired her, Kevin seemed somewhat unimpressed. He even asked me
privately, “Don’t you think she’s too young for the job? Can we trust her?”
“Does her age make her unreliable? She’s not only attractive but also skilled
at her job! She’s an accomplished housekeeper, you know. You’re being
overly cautious,” I replied. I even teased him, saying, “If anyone should be
worried, it’s me!”
He gently pinched my cheek and replied, “What are you thinking? Stop
worrying about such nonsense!” Then, he embraced me and playfully nibbled
on my earlobe, saying reassuringly, “Alright, as long as you’re comfortable

with her. She’s here to assist you, and she’s the one who will keep you

company every day. I’m just concerned that she’s young and might not stay
for long. In that case, we’ll have to find a replacement soon. That would be
troublesome!”
To our surprise, Tania turned out to be very dedicated to her job. It had been
almost eight years since she started working for us! As far as I could
remember, we had gotten along well during these past eight years, and I
treated her like a sister. How could she possibly betray me? Besides, if she
were behind this, Kevin would have noticed that I wasn’t feeling right after
taking the medicine. He would have asked if it worked, and he would not
have… I couldn’t even bear to think about it.
I wasn’t sure if it was because I hadn’t taken the medicine or if the cat’s
condition had alarmed me, but one thing was certain–I wasn’t in my usual
lethargic state. Like a spirit awakened from confusion, I was unusually alert.

Every cell in my body was on edge, and I was extremely agitated.
Fear prevented me from closing my eyes. The night seemed endless, but
what chilled me even more was that no one came to check on mo, nor did
anyone ask if I had eaten.
I had to face the truth. In the past, I had been sleeping alone every day, with
no one caring about me. It seemed that Kevin didn’t care as much about me
as he appeared to. That night, for example, the care I had expected from him
was absent. Could he have become accustomed to my constant lethargy?
As the day slowly dawned, Ria, who had been sleeping deeply under the
blanket, gradually woke up. At first, its gaze was unfocused, and it weakly
meowed a couple of times. Then, after a while, it started moving its limbs. A
moment later, it stretched vigorously and rolled over, nestling against me
with its limbs tucked under its body. It returned to its original sleeping

Its state was eerily similar to how I felt every time I woke up, which deepened
my suspicions. Feeling utterly helpless, I pulled it to my chest, burying my
face in its soft fur while silently shedding tears. I didn’t understand why this
was happening. Who could be doing this to me?
After a long time, I looked up and gritted my teeth, telling myself I couldn’t just
sit around waiting for something terrible to happen. I had to find out the truth!
With that decision, I realized I needed to be careful not to raise suspicions. I
had to continue pretending to sleep. First and foremost, I had to figure out
who had given me the medicine and their motive.

With these thoughts in mind, I clung to hope, wanting to believe that it was
Tania who did this. Perhaps, that would make it easier for me to accept

reality. However, life had a way of delivering a quick and harsh reality check. It
hurt so much that it seared through my bones, and the truth was much
crueler than I had imagined.
