    Chapter 709 Vitamin C Or Laxative?


    A curious smile appeared on Cherise’s face. “I haven’t reviewed your sister’s medical file yet, but I’m


    intrigued by her unique constitution. Does she have a vitamin C allergy? Or can she consume fruits and


    vegetables like regr people?”


    Urs sat frozen, unable to find words.


    The room became heavy with tension. Suddenly, Rowena, reclining quietly in her wheelchair, opened


    her


    eyes.


    “L, why are you crying?” Rowena’s voice was frantic as she looked at her tear-streaked sister.


    Feigning shock, Rowena turned to Urs. “Who upset you? What’s wrong?”


    Damien’s smile instantly disappeared. “Rowena, your timing couldn’t have been worse,” he said, his


    tone. icy.


    His words caused Rowena’s hand, resting on the wheelchair, to clench into a tight fist. Nevertheless,


    she managed to turn to Damien with a look of surprise. “Damien, when did you return? I thought you


    were buried in work again today.”


    Her gaze shifted to Cherise, who stood beside Damien with her arms crossed. “Ms. Shaw, could you


    exin this situation? When did Damien arrive? And why is L crying?”


    Cherise scoffed, unfazed by Rowena’s act. “Ms. Mortis just fainted, which naturally upset your sister.


    Damien came to check on you.”


    “Fainted?” Rowena feigned confusion. “I don’t remember… I drank some water from Frances, felt a


    little drowsy, and then I must have fallen asleep.”


    Cherise’s lips twitched into a knowing smirk. “So, Ms. Mortis, did you enjoy your little nap?”


    “Well… yes,” Rowena replied, her voice slightly hesitant.


    Rowena returned an awkward smile and turned to Urs, scolding her in a hushed tone, “I just dozed


    off! You tend to overreact. You must have rmed Damien and Dr. Shaw.”


    Urs pouted but remained silent.


    From the moment Rowena didn’t faint after drinking the water, Damien knew she was ying a game,


    but he decided not to confront her right now. “Alright, now that you’re awake, let’s go downstairs. I can


    overlook you falling asleep in my house this time, but I don’t want it to happen again.”


    With that, Damien turned and left the room, his expression icy.


    Cherise followed him but suddenly remembered something and nced at Rowena and Urs. “Oh,


    by the way, I almost forgot to tell you two, the toilet in this guest room is clogged. If you need to use it,


    you’ll have to go downstairs. Don’t use the one in the room. It wouldn’t be verydylike to leave it


    smelling awful for others to find, right?”


    A chuckle escaped Cherise’s lips as she turned and left. The door mmed shut behind her.

    “Gurgle!” Another loud stomach rumble echoed through the room.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Urs sniffed and curled her lip in disgust. “Why can I still hear her stomach growling? She just left! So


    annoying!”


    Rowena, locking pale, clutched her stomach. “Screw you! That’s not her stomach; it’s mine…”


    Had she not almost been exposed just now, she had no idea how long she could have endured it. Why


    did her stomach suddenly start aching so badly?


    She pursed her lips. “L, help me to the bathroom.”


    Urs’s eyes widened. “But Cherise just mentioned…”


    “Then wheel me to the bathroom downstairs!” Rowena’s face was ashen, and she was clearly


    struggling to


    hold it in.


    Cherise was truly cunning, iming that her son gave her vitamins. It must have been axative!


    “Come here.” When she exited the guest room, Cherise grabbed Damien’s arm and pulled him into the


    study.


    Once they were inside and the door was shut, she quickly retrieved two pills from her pocket and


    picked up a ss of water. “Take these.”
