Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1129

Medicine Are You Taking __

Janet pondered and hesitated momentarily before acquiescing. "Very well, I shall bring some blankets for you. Once you have refreshed yourself with a shower, the sofa shall be at your disposal for slumber."

Wearing a glum expression, Brandon remarked, "As you can see, this sofa is rather small in size."

"You made a commitment to sleep on the sofa. You must honor your word, as a man should." Janet chuckled as she grasped the blanket on the bed, heading toward the sofa.

She put the blanket down and then noticed the medicine hidden beneath the lamp.

Casting a furtive glance towards Brandon, she reached for the medicine, only to have it swiftly snatched away by him.

"What sort of medication are you on?" Janet's frustration boiled over, and she couldn't resist unleashing a thunderous roar.

Disbelief washed over her as Janet realized Brandon was still taking the medication. What else was he keeping from her?

"This is private to me," Brandon retorted, gripping the medicine bottle tightly, concealing its label with his palm.

Janet snorted in derision. "Is this your way of owning up to your mistakes, Brandon?!"

She spun around, slamming the door behind her as she stormed out.

Upon descending the stairs, Janet caught the sound of voices emanating from the kitchen.

"Hannah, Are you here to get some water? Allow me to fetch it for you." The servant could be heard saying to Hannah in the kitchen.

"Thank you so much, and I'm sorry for the trouble," Hannah replied, graciously accepting the cup from the servant and offering a polite smile. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she inquired, "May I ask how long you've been employed here?"

"I have been employed at Mr. Larson's residence for a while and was recently transferred here to manage this house." The servant honestly answered Hannah's inquiry.

After a brief pause, Hannah continued, "Given that you have been working for them for quite some time, you must be familiar with the situation in this household. Please forgive me, but I'm curious to know if Brandon and Janet truly share a good relationship."

As Hannah emerged to sip some water, she overheard a conversation from Janet and Brandon's bedroom, revealing that they intended to sleep in separate beds. Hannah couldn't fathom why a couple would sleep apart without any apparent reason. This led her to suspect that Brandon and Janet had conflicted.

As Janet emerged from the door, she overheard Hannah's inquiry, causing her to startle and nearly lose her footing on the stairs.

Thankfully, someone was able to hold her before she fell.
