Chapter 504 Cathartics
"What''s the matter?" J obediently gave the pills to Ethan.
Ethan sighed in his mind that J was really too forgetful. "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, J 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 vignt now. "Draco was going to take you to Mn 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." J was a neer 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."
J 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, J was chatting with Johanna over the phone.
Johanna asked with concern in her voice, "I heard that you''re going to Mn. How''s the trip going?
Is it fun over there?"
J didn''t dare to tell Johanna that she had be sick again.
"Well, it''s not bad. I''ll bring you a gift when I return, Mom."
Johanna was overjoyed to hear that.
After J hung up, she got a call from Ethan.
"Who have you been talking to just now?"
J 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 reced 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, J felt very ufortable in
her heart. She asked suspiciously, "Was it Elizabeth who reced the medication?"
If that was the case, maybe it was also Elizabeth who had put cathartics in J''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, J couldn''t let this matter go. She kept thinking about how to confirm her
suspicions.
On the second morning, Elizabeth came to visit J 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 J 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." J smiled as if there was
nothing wrong.
She had heard it from Rosa that Elizabeth seldom socialized with other colleagues. Why did
Elizabethe to see J again?
The more J mulled it over in her head, the more she suspected Elizabeth.
The first time she came here with Rosa, J had thought Elizabeth came only because Rosa
made her.
But why did Elizabethe for the second time today? She must have some sort of ulterior motive.
