    Kabanata 332 Ibinaba ni Elliot ang telepono nang may masamang tingin sa kanyang telepono,


    pagkatapos ay padabog na lumabas ng kanyang opisina.


    Hindimang sinuman ang maaaring kumuha ng kanng mga kamay sa mga tabletas sa pagtulog.


    Saan nanggaling ang mga ito? Sa sandaling huminto ang itim na Rolls-Roice sa harap ng bakuran,


    din ni Mrs. Cooper si Shea pabalik sa kanyang silid.


    Nang pumasok si Elliot sa s, iniabot sa kanya ni Mrs. Scarlet ang resulta ng pagsusulit.


    “Din mo si Shea sa ospital para magpa-checkup?” Tanong ni Elliot habang sinusulyapan si Mrs.


    Scarlet.


    Umiwas ng tingin si Mrs. Scarlet at hindi nakas loob na salubungin ang kanyang mga mata.


    Inutusan siya ni Avery na huwag banggitin na si Avery kung hindi siya guluhin ni Elliot.


    “Si Miss Tate po iyon,” sabi ni Mrs. Scarlet habang binibigyan niya ng diin ang mga titig ni Elliot.


    “Nagpumilit si Shea na puntahan ang mga anak ni Miss Tate ngayon…”


    “Bumalik na si Avery?” Sabi ni Elliot, pinutol siya.


    “Bumalik siya kaninang umaga,” sabi ni Mrs. Scarlet. “W siyang gustong gawin dito, pero nakiusap


    ako na tingnan niya si Shea dahil kanina pa niya sinasabi na mamamatay na siya. Sobrang nag-ala


    ako.”


    “Bakit hindi mo sinabi kay Zoe?”


    Ang dahn ni Elliot ay nagsimng mabi.


    Naw ang katinuan niya nang mabanggit ang pangn ni Avery.


    “Nakausap ko na si Doctor Sanford tungkol sa kondisyon ni Shea, ngunit sinabi niya na ito ay isang


    normal na reaksyon pagkatapos ng operasyon sa bawat oras,” malungkot na sabi ni Mrs. Scarlet.


    “Hindi ako pwedeng umupo nang at panoorin si Shea na sobrang depressed.”


    “Nakita ko.”


    Hindi na siya sinisisi ni Elliot.


    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


    masyadong nagtiw kay Mrs. Scarlet. Kaya naman kinuha ko yung bote at binigay ko nang sa


    kanya imbes na hatiin.”


    “Ipam sa akin ang tungkol sahat ng mga reseta ni Shea m ngayon, kahit na ang mga ito ay


    mga bitamina at suplemento,” utos ni Elliot. “Mas mabuting w ng pangwang pagkakataon!” Sa


    sandaling ibinigay niya ang kanyang bab, humakbang siya patungo sa silid ni Shea.
