Chapter 1858

Elizabeth’s nerves frayed with worry.

“What if she overheard everything?”

Kristian pursed his lips and said nothing, but his face was full of concern.

Meanwhile, Bella returned to her room and sat on the edge of her bed, her mind racing with troubling thoughts.

The synchronized responses of Elizabeth and Kristian had set off alarm bells in her mind.

Elizabeth wasn’t good at lying, and her expression had been very strange.

It seemed like they were discussing something they didn’t want her to know.

So, was what Kristian just said true, or was he trying to cover up for Elizabeth?

If Elizabeth had indeed drugged her, did Kristian know about it?

What was his role in all of this? Was he the mastermind, or was he just trying to protect Elizabeth?

Elizabeth and Kristian were her closest and most trusted people.

She had always trusted them implicitly.

But now, it was possible that they were trying to hurt her, even kill her.

The thought made Bella shiver.

For the first time, she doubted the people closest to her.

The next day, the family doctor, Tyron, arrived with his medical equipment to examine Bella.

After the check-up, Kristian feigned concern and inquired about Bella’s condition.

Sensing an opportunity to collude, Tyron responded, “Bella is in good health.

However, she must continue taking her medication to prevent a relapse of her illness.

”

Bella detected no hint of deceit in his serious tone as he spoke.

Tentatively, she voiced her concerns.

“But the increased dosage of my medication didn’t seem to work well.

At times, I even felt my emotions were spiraling out of control.

What could be the reason?”

She watched Tyron’s expression carefully for any signs of deception.

Anticipating Bella’s skepticism, Tyron maintained his composure and continued to lie, “Bella, it’s just that you’re overly anxious and dwelling too much on many things.

If you feel the previous medication was ineffective, I can prescribe an alternative.

”

His expression remained unchanged.

Bella couldn’t help but wonder if Tyron was simply a skilled actor or if there was genuinely

nothing suspicious about him.

After a moment’s contemplation, she questioned, “Is there no possibility of a cure?”

Kristian and Elizabeth exchanged a glance, surprised by Bella’s sudden barrage of questions.

In the past, she had always blindly followed Tyron’s instructions.

Furrowing their brows, they realized Bella’s newfound skepticism.

Elizabeth grew anxious, fearing that Tyron might struggle to handle Bella’s probing.

She hastily proposed a solution.

“How about this? Since Mom doesn’t plan on returning to Dorburn anytime soon, we can have Tyron stay here to monitor your condition closely and devise a suitable treatment plan.

Dad and I can’t bear to see you suffer from illness.

”

Kristian chimed in, “Tyron traveled all this way from Dorburn; surely he can diagnose the problem effectively.

With him here, we’ll be equipped to handle any unforeseen circumstances.

”
