Chapter 81 Sherry Betrays
After completing all this, I calmly returned the medical kit to its original place, took a sip of water, and walked back to the room. I put down the water glass, quickly took out the medicine, and chuckled when I glanced at the medicine box. It was truly fate; the expiration date showed that the medicine had expired. I kept only a few pills and flushed the rest down the drain.
Back at the bedside, I tossed the medicine box into the bedside table drawer just in case. Then, I got onto the bed, listening attentively to the outside sounds, which were as quiet as before.
However, I was confident that Sherry wouldn’t give up; she would surely check the medicine box to verify whether I was lying.
As I was contemplating, I faintly heard a subtle sound. Holding my breath, I perked up my ears. Absolutely correct, Sherry had come out again.
Once that sound disappeared, I quickly got up, retrieved the hidden new phone, and slipped into the bathroom.
I turned on the phone monitor and indeed saw Sherry sneakily heading to the place where the medical kit was kept. She then crouched down, opened the medicine box, and searched for a while. After a long time, she restored the medicine kit, like a ghost, and floated back to her room.
Next day.
Robert, after getting up, seemed to be fine. Seeing me lazily not getting up, he asked, “Why haven’t you gotten up yet?”From NôvelDrama.Org.
“You had a fever last night, and I was up all night feeding you medicine. I didn’t sleep well, and now I have a headache!” I muttered.
“Then I’ll go take the kids to school!”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately sat up with a start, “No, I’ll do it! It’s not good to slack off on the second day of school. How can I explain it to the kids?”
I quickly got out of bed, washed up, and went to Oliver’s room. He was dressing himself.
After dropping him off at school, I didn’t hurry back; instead, I checked the surveillance on my phone. As expected, Sherry had snitched.
I saw Robert pause while having breakfast, and he looked up, asking her, “Are you sure she was searching?”
“Sure, she was looking in the car for a long time. I don’t know what she was searching for,” Sherry said earnestly. “I saw the whole process!”
Robert sat up slowly, leaning back in his chair, narrowing his eyes, lost in thought.
My hands involuntarily clenched, sweat forming in my palms. This damn Sherry, a faithful puppet indeed.
At this moment, Alice walked out of the room, dressed in new clothes, looking fresh and sitting properly at the dining table. Sherry disdainfully glanced at her, then pushed her meal over.
Robert gave Sherry a glance but didn’t continue questioning. He resumed breakfast.
I turned off the phone since Alice was there; they wouldn’t continue their conversation. I sat in the car for a long time, nervously biting my nails. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me. I immediately started the car and went straight to the pharmacy next to our house, bought several sets of medicine, and leisurely drove back home, hoping to miss Robert’s departure for work.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived, Robert, who should have gone to the company early, was still sitting in the living room.
