Chapter 688 Hurting Her Head

Emmeline picked up the bowl and put it under her nose.

I can smell something strange other than the usual smell of food from the bowl. It smells like…

Sleeping pills!

Alana, that sly b*tch! I knew you wouldn’t have offered the noodles for no reason!

You were trying to knock me out with sleeping pills. Yet, it was Evelyn who had eaten the noodles instead!

Ha! You’re my lucky star, Evelyn!

Emmeline patted Evelyn on the check lightly.

If it weren’t for you, I would have been the one lying unconscious on the floor now.

Suddenly, Emmeline picked up the sounds of chains clanking near the gate.

It’s most likely Alana. She’s probably coming back to check if I’m passed out already.

Emmeline took the bowl and silently hurried back to where she was sitting. Then, she lay motionless on the floor and pretended to be unconscious.

A short while later, Alana opened the gate and entered the room. She trod slowly and carefully toward Emmeline.

“Emmeline? Emmeline! Did you finish the noodles?”

Emmeline made some snoring sounds just like how she had heard Evelyn snore.

“She’s really asleep?” Alana chuckled in delight. Then, she walked over to Evelyn. “Evelyn, get up and come with me!”

Evelyn was still lying in the same spot with her eyes closed.

Despite that, Alana searched Evelyn’s body while muttering to herself, “Where’s your phone? Where did you keep your phone?”

Her phone?

Emmeline recalled that she had hurled Evelyn’s phone toward the wall near her. She scanned the floor around her discreetly and spotted the phone. Then, she quickly reached for it and tactfully hid it under her body.

Alana couldn’t find the phone even though she had searched Evelyn’s body thoroughly. She straightened herself and walked around the room quietly to look for Evelyn’s phone. Soon enough, she gave up looking for it since she did not want to risk waking Emmeline up.

Alana went back to Evelyn’s side and shook her shoulder a little. Then, she noticed the snoring sound coming from Evelyn.

I must have hurt my head during the fall.
