"Here…" Noah took a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.
Nelson picked up the paper and examined it closely with a puzzled expression.
Noah wiped his son's drool with a cloth. "This was from the leftover milk you drank. Dad had it tested. It contains several prohibited substances, the kind that can only be bought on the black market abroad."
Nelson looked up at him and fully understood his intention.
Noah's highlighting of Sabrina's hardships over the past few years and her good character had been building up to this moment.
Someone who worked so hard and had such integrity wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
Besides, she wouldn't have the means to obtain such substances.
"If she didn't drug me, why did she admit to it?" Nelson swallowed hard and recalled the events of that day.
She was scared and vulnerable but couldn't push him away, which allowed him to take advantage of her.
He fell silent. She had denied it, but he hadn't believed a word.
When he looked up, he saw her placing trimmed flowers and plants on a small table vase.
…
Nelson returned to his room and didn't come down for lunch.
No one called him, likely out of concern for Sabrina's feelings.
After lunch, Sabrina played games with Xyla on the carpet.
The child's gleeful shouts irritated Nelson. He wondered if the soundproofing in the manor had always been this bad.
After some time, there was the sound of a baby crying.
