I noticed a slight hesitation in Tania’s expression. She forced a smile and
quickly placed the bowl of medicine on the bedside table. Then, she kindly
said, “Let me take a look!”
Her smile sent a shiver down my spine.
I pointed to the spot that was painful. “Right here!”
She touched it with her fingers and pretended to gently press on it while
asking, “Here? I don’t feel anything.”
I hissed. “Yes! It’s right here, and it hurts a lot!”
“It looks perfectly fine to me.” She moved her fingers to other areas. “Do you

feel any discomfort in other places?”
She was diverting my attention.

I sat up straight, still touching the painful area, and looked at her. “It’s strange.
I keep feeling like my head is being stabbed, like it has been happening
frequently lately.”
“There’s nothing unusual about it. It’s probably just a nerve pain. I sometimes
experience strange sensations too.” She offered her explanation based on
personal experience.

could feel the granular protrusion, and there was even a trace of blood that I
had wiped off earlier. However, she insisted that there was nothing wrong.
She was clearly taking advantage of my inability to see that spot and lying to

my face.
I suspected that it wasn’t just a single needle in that spot because I had been
awakened by a similar stabbing pain several times recently, but this time, I
was fully awake.
After a while, I pretended to be lost in thought and said, “Oh.”
Perhaps she felt guilty, so she quickly said to me, “Mrs. Diaz, please take your
medicine first. I’ll go check on Felix. He’s playing downstairs by himself, and I’m
worried about him.”
With that, she turned and walked away. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the effect I wanted. Otherwise, she would have watched me drink
the medicine before leaving.

From last night until now, I hadn’t taken two doses of medicine, and I could
clearly feel that my consciousness was much clearer. The drowsiness was
less overwhelming, and my fatigue had eased a bit. Even my heart rate was
back to normal.
It seemed that I couldn’t continue taking this medicine. I suspected that all of
my adverse reactions were related to it.
I needed to find a way to have the medicine tested as soon as possible to
know what she had been giving me.
I also needed to find out whether Kevin knew anything about what had
happened to me.
But for now, I wondered how I should handle this bowl of medicine in front of
- me.

I looked up at the location where the surveillance camera used to be, and my
intuition told me not to take this lightly. I still didn’t understand why Tania was
treating me this way. How many hidden schemes were behind this? Thoro
had to be a reason.
I needed to find a more secure way to handle the medicine. Pouring it onto
the blanket wouldn’t be a good idea; it would eventually be discovered.
Ria stretched and crawled out from under the blanket before curling up in my
arms. I had an idea. I held onto her, petted her a few times, and then picked.
up the medicine bowl. Sure enough, Ria strongly resisted before leaping out
of my arms. It seemed she was quite averse to this medicine.
I casually placed the bowl back where it was and pretended to brush my
clothes, giving the impression that some of the medicine had spilled onto
them.

Then, I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. As I wiped my
face with a towel, I walked to the bedside table with my back to the location

of the surveillance camera. Then, I quickly poured the medicine into the towel
and acted as if I were drinking from the bowl.
I held the bowl and the towel with the absorbed medicine before walking out
of the room as if nothing had happened and headed downstairs.
I had to maintain a calm demeanor. After all, I didn’t know what secrets lay
behind Tania’s actions. I needed to find out.
As I descended the stairs, I thought I heard Kevin’s voice. I froze. My nose.

It was my instinctive reaction to rely on him. After all, he was the closest

with utmost care and affection. Anyone who knew us knew that he cherished
me and treated me like a precious gem.
I wondered if he knew about what was happening to me when I lay on the
bed unaware.
The murmurs of the man downstairs, along with Felix’s laughter, made me
feel helpless and almost brought tears to my eyes.
I continued down the stairs in a hurry, but as I raised my gaze, I was shocked
by what I saw in front of me.
