Juanita walked into the pharmacy, searched the shelves, took a box of medicine and an anti-inflammatory spray. Finally, she walked to the checkout counter and picked up two bottles of mineral water.
"How much?"
She handed over the stuff in her hand.
The staff was a woman. She glanced at the box and said, "Girl, you should pay attention to the usage of this medicine.”
“One capsule at a time, within 72 hours.”
“I'll get you the black bag for it.”
“A total of $109."
"Oh, thanks."
Juanita was a little embarrassed.
After checking out, she hurriedly took the black bag and walked out.
Back in the car, Karl was still waiting for her.
"Sorry for the long wait."
Juanita got into the car. She took a bottle of mineral water from the bag, opened it and handed it to Karl, "Got a bottle of water for you too."
"And this anti-inflammatory spray. When you're in the police station, you can use it when you're free.”
“There are still many areas of the wound that have not scabbed over.”
“It gets better faster with this and so you won’t have to worry about infection."
She took the spray out of the bag and put it in his hand.
Then she opened her bottle of mineral water, took a pill out of the box she got for herself and swallowed it.
Karl looked at her suspiciously when he saw her raise her head to swallow the medicine.
He suddenly gripped her hand hard, "What kind of medicine are you taking?"
"It's nothing, just ordinary medicine."
Juanita did not even look into his eyes when she said that.
Karl was a detective. He immediately sensed something wrong from her expression. He snatched the black bag from her and got the box inside. When he saw the name of the medicine, his eyes were wide open.
"What are you doing? You can't take this medicine, spit it out!" He squeezed Juanita's chin hard and forced her to open her mouth, trying to make her spit out the medicine.
Juanita was squeezed by him, "I ate it already! How can I spit it out? Let go.”
