The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Chapter 504: Cathartics 

"What’s the matter?"

Janet obediently gave the pills to Ethan.

Ethan sighed in his mind that Janet was really too forgetful. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Don’t you remember? You took your medicine before I headed out to fetch dinner."

"But Elizabeth just told me that the nurse asked her to bring me the medicine.I think the doctor must have prescribed new medication for me."

Just now, Janet had thought that Elizabeth was really so thoughtful to deliver her the medicine.

Ethan still had his guard up.

After going through many dangerous situations previously, he happened to be very vigilant now.

"Draco was going to take you to Milan Fashion Week and this event is very important.These two colleagues of yours may be jealous and went out of their way to secretly sabotage you, which went on to cause your illness.You’d better be more careful from now on if they bring you anything."

"But everyone seems so nice to me."

Janet was a newcomer to Draco’s studio.She didn’t want to be suspicious toward any of her colleagues.Besides, maybe she got sick simply because she ate something that had gone bad.

With a mocking smile on his face, Ethan said, "Just because they seem nice, doesn’t mean they’re really nice people.Well, that means I have to be out for a while."

Janet thought that what Ethan said made sense.

She asked with curiosity in her voice, "What are you going to do now?"

While stroking the pills he was holding, Ethan said, "I’ll go find more evidence.I’m going to the nurse station to ask for one more medication.Also, don’t eat anything that others bring to you when I’m not around.Let’s talk some more about it when I return."

After that, Ethan took the pills away for tests.

In the evening, Janet was chatting with Johanna over the phone.

Johanna asked with concern in her voice, "I heard that you’re going to Milan.How’s the trip going? Is it fun over there?"

Janet didn’t dare to tell Johanna that she had become sick again.

"Well, it’s not bad.I’ll bring you a gift when I return, Mom."

Johanna was overjoyed to hear that.

After Janet hung up, she got a call from Ethan.

"Who have you been talking to just now?"

Janet was really amused by his possessiveness.

"I was just talking to my mother.Have you found anything suspicious about the medication?"

"Yes, there’s indeed something wrong with the medicine.It looks like the powder in one of the capsules was secretly replaced with cathartics.You haven’t gotten better from your illness yet.If you continue taking this, you will go on to have worse diarrhea."

At the thought that the medicine was brought to her by Elizabeth, Janet felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

She asked suspiciously, "Was it Elizabeth who replaced the medication?"

If that was the case, maybe it was also Elizabeth who had put cathartics in Janet’s breakfast secretly and made her suffer from diarrhea.

"We can’t be absolutely certain now," Ethan said in a calm voice.

"Currently, she’s only a suspect."

After hanging up, Janet couldn’t let this matter go.She kept thinking about how to confirm her suspicions On the second morning, Elizabeth came to visit Janet once again.

"I brought you some chicken soup.This will be good for your stomach."

Elizabeth came in with a food container at this time.Her face was both expressionless and calm.It sounded like she was concerned about Janet a great deal, but there appeared to be no warmth in her eyes.

"Thank you.I’m thinking about what to have for breakfast right now."

Janet smiled as if there was nothing wrong.She had heard it from Rosa that Elizabeth seldom socialized with other colleagues.

Why did Elizabeth come to see Janet again? The more Janet mulled it over in her head, the more she suspected Elizabeth.

The first time she came here with Rosa, Janet had thought Elizabeth came only because Rosa made her.

But why did Elizabeth come for the second time today? She must have some sort of ulterior motive.
