Chapter 1860

She sought solace in Stella, feeling somewhat pathetic for solely relying on her.

Yet, she couldn’t think of anyone else she trusted as much, The coffee shop was conveniently close to Bella’s residence, allowing Stella to swiftly escort her home.

As Stella prepared to depart, Bella halted her in her tracks.

Confusion flickered across Stella’s features as she turned back, inquiring, “Is there anything else I can assist you with?”

An idea struck Bella suddenly.

“Last night, I organized a document for the studio’s concept.

It’s in the study.

Since you’re here, you might as well take it and acquaint yourself with it beforehand.

”

Recognizing the business-related nature of the task, Stella was about to follow Bella, but then she hesitated, mindful of Elizabeth’s presence at home.

Their encounters often led to arguments, which she wished to avoid, not wanting to inconvenience Bella.

“Could you retrieve the document? I’ll wait here.

I don’t want to intrude,” she suggested.

Bella understood Stella’s apprehension without needing an explanation.

“At this hour, Elizabeth is typically in her room.

You won’t run into her,” she reassured Stella.

Though embarrassed by Bella’s consideration, Stella couldn’t refuse after Bella’s assurance.

She nodded and followed Bella upstairs.

As she approached the study, voices drifted from another room.

A man’s confident assurance caught her attention.

“The newly developed medicine is undoubtedly more effective than its predecessor.

”

“You made similar promises before, and yet she still recovered,” a woman’s voice came, dripped with skepticism.

Undeterred, the man responded with determination, “This time will be different.

The potency of the new drug far exceeds its predecessor.

Please have faith in me, Elizabeth.

”

Reluctantly, Elizabeth conceded, “I’ll give you one more chance.

But if you disappoint me again, I’ll find someone else.

There are plenty of doctors in the world.

”

The man proposed a new approach.

“I understand.

But your mother is too alert now.

You could administer the medicine to her through her food in the coming days, ensuring a more effective outcome with less effort.

”

Doubtful, Elizabeth sought reassurance, questioning, “Are you certain there won’t be any complications?”

Stella’s heart sank as she pieced together the conversation.

It was evident that the woman

speaking was Elizabeth.

She glanced at Bella, whose distress was palpable as her body trembled with emotion.

In the room, Elizabeth took the new medicine Tyron gave and studied it carefully.

She found it was just the same as the last one.

So, she asked Tyron, “Is there any difference between this medicine and the previous one?”

Tyron smiled confidently and replied, “Of course.

The medicine in your hand is several times stronger than the previous one.

Taking it once or twice can already cause mental disorders.

When combined with my newly developed medicine, it can absolutely…”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud bang when the door was suddenly pushed open and slammed against the wall.

Elizabeth and Tyron were both shocked by the sudden noise.

They turned around simultaneously, only to see Stella and Bella standing at the door.

Instantly, panic was written all over Elizabeth’s face, and her eyes were full of terror.
