“So you went out to get me porridge.
” I smiled.
But Caleb remained silent, though he handled everything with great care.
He gently assisted me to sit up, blew on the porridge to cool it, and fed me spoon by spoon.
I couldn’t say a word as Caleb fed me.
After eating more than half of the bowl of porridge, I began to feel better.
Caleb must have noticed my color returning to normal, so he said coldly, “Now that you’re feeling better, can you remember what happenedst night?”
I found it strange as well.
Why did I suddenly feel like that?
So I thought back to what happenedst night and suddenly realized something.
I asked him nervously, “When you found mest night, was there anything unusual between Andrew and me?”
Seeing Caleb’s cold expression, I felt even guiltier.
I lowered my head, unable to meet his gaze.
Caleb pinched my pale face and said, “Scared now? Why weren’t you scared when you were still out in the middle of the night?”
I defended myself, saying, “I… I didn’t expect that to happen…”
Caleb sneered and went on, “I’ve been in the witch n for a long time.
Do you think I don’t know how many dark and dangerous things and people are here?”
Despite feeling guilty, I couldn’t help but say, “But I was at Andrew’s manor yesterday.
It’s safe there.
”
Caleb sneered again, then he ced the bowl heavily on the bedside table.
“Safe? If his manor is so safe, then how did you end up getting drugged?”
So, I was drugged?
As I realized this, memories ofst night flooded back, including how I had taken the initiative with Caleb, and my face instantly turned red.
Reflecting on the intensity between Caleb and mest night, I also realized how risky the situation had been.
The consequences would have been unimaginable if Caleb hadn’t arrived in time.
Only then did I muster the courage to look up at Caleb with a guilty expression.
I apologized sincerely.
“I’m sorry.
I was so careless this time.
I should have listened to you.
”
Since Caleb had arrived at the witch n not long ago, I had been drugged twice in front of him.
I felt deeply remorseful.
Seeing Caleb’sck of response, I gathered my courage and tugged at his sleeve, whispering, “I’m truly sorry.
Please don’t be upset, okay?”
Caleb remained unmoved.
He seemed indifferent to my apology as he continued to feed me porridge.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
As I ate the porridge, I pondered who might have drugged me and when it happened.
I remembered everyone I had met at the manor yesterday.
Aside from Abby, who seemed the least likely, there were only Nora and Andrew left.
