"What's the matter?" Janet obediently gave the pills to Ethan.
Ethan sighed in his mind that Janet 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, Janet 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 vigilant now. "Draco was going to take you to Milan 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." Janet was a newcomer 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."
Janet 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, Janet was chatting with Johanna over the phone.
Johanna asked with concern in her voice, "I heard that you're going to Milan. How's the trip going? Is it fun over there?"
Janet didn't dare to tell Johanna that she had become sick again.
"Well, it's not bad. I'll bring you a gift when I return, Mom."
