Chapter 332


    Chapter 332 Elliot hung up the phone with an ominous look on his phone, then stormed out of his


    office.


    Not just anybody could get their hands on sleeping pills.


    Where did these onese from? The moment the ck Rolls-Roice pulled up into the front yard,


    Mrs. Cooper took Shea back to her room.


    When Elliot walked into the living room, Mrs. Scarlet handed him the test results.


    “You took Shea to the hospital for a checkup?” Elliot asked as he nced at Mrs. Scarlet.


    Mrs. Scarlet averted his gaze and did not dare meet his eyes.


    Avery had instructed her not to mention that it was Avery if Elliot did not pester her.


    “It was Miss Tate,” Mrs. Scarlet said as she gave in to the pressure of Elliot’s re. “Shea insisted on


    going to see Miss Tate’s children today…”


    “Avery’s back?” Elliot said, interrupting her.


    “She got back this morning,” said Mrs. Scarlet. “She didn’t want anything to do with this, but I begged


    her to check on Shea because she’s been saying she’s dying since this morning. I was so worried.”


    “Why didn’t you tell Zoe?”


    Elliot’s reason had begun to falter.


    He lost hisposure the moment Avery’s name was mentioned.


    “I’ve talked to Doctor Sanford about Shea’s condition, but she said it was a normal post surgical


    reaction every time,” Mrs. Scarlet said dejectedly. “I couldn’t just sit back and watch Shea be so


    depressed.”


    “I see.”


    Elliot stopped ming her.


    He picked up the test results and carefully examined them.


    “What’s this about


    “I suspect it’s gone something to do with the sedatives that Doctor Sanford prescribed, but I can’t be


    sure,” Mrs. Scarlet said warily as she handed the white pill bottle to Elliot.


    Elliot took the bottle, opened it up and took a look inside.


    It was a bunch of whit


    Zoe rushed over an hourter.


    The atmosphere in the living room was cold and suffocating, and abnormally quiet.


    The moment she saw the white pill bottle on the coffee table, she instantly understood what had


    happened.


    She put on an innocent expression, then said to Elliot’s cold face, “This is the sedative I prescribed to


    Shea a few days ago. I instructed Mrs. Scarlet to give her a pill during each meal for a total of three


    days. Shea’s emotions were too intense before, which wasn’t good for her recovery. I only prescribed


    the medication after thorough consideration.”


    Mrs. Scarlet’s expression changed drastically after hearing Zoe’s words.


    “Doctor Sanford, you didn’t tell me to only give her the pills for three days! That’s why I’ve been giving


    them to Shea every day with her meals…”


    Zoe’s brows furrowed as she said, “I remember very clearly that I told you to only give the pills to her


    for three days. If her emotions were still unstable after three days, then extend it to a week. However,


    you can’t continue giving her the pills after a week no matter what. Did it slip your mind?”


    Mrs. Scarlet did not expect to be a patsy!


    “Doctor Sanford… I remember you told me this was a sedative… I wouldn’t give this to Shea every day


    if I had known that they were sleeping pills. I know you can’t take too many sleeping pills…”


    “Sedatives are also known as sleeping pills,” Zoe said in a voice so calm that it was almost void of


    emotion. “I know you’re nervous, Mrs. Scarlet. It’s been about ten days, after all. Her body will excrete


    the drugs slowly as long as she doesn’t take them again. This won’t have too much of an affect on her


    body.”


    Things were not as bad as they could have been because they caught it just in time, but Mrs. Scarlet


    still felt wronged.


    She remembered very clearly that Zoe did not mention that the pills were sleeping pills and for Shea to


    only take them for a maximum of one week.


    If she had not taken Shea to go see Avery that day and gone to the hospital for the checkup, she would


    have fed the entire bottle of pills to Shea.


    “Mrs. Scarlet’s getting old, Elliot. She’s bound to make some mistakes. I hope you don’t me her,”

    Zoe said as she took on the role of a hero and asked for forgiveness on behalf of Mrs. Scarlet.


    Elliot nced at Zoe’s face, then retorted, “Why did you give her a whole bottle if it’s only meant to be


    taken for three days?”


    Zoe was taken aback, but quickly reacted and said, “Perhaps I was tired at the time and also


    trusted Mrs. Scarlet too much. That’s why I took the bottle and just gave it to her instead of splitting


    them up.”


    “Inform me about all of Shea’s prescriptions from now on, even if they’re vitamins and supplements,”


    Elliot ordered. “There better not be a second time!” Once he gave his warning, he strode over to Shea’s


    room.
