A wave of nausea hit me, and I knew instantly what Jaylan was meaning.
This was a self-inflicted disgrace for Zora.
"You should thank her for giving you the opportunity to please me with your mouth, otherwise, you think you'd ever have the chance to get close to me?" Jaylan's words were disgustingly shameless.
"But the child..."
Jaylan interrupted her instantly, "Don't bargain with me, keep your head down!"
Child?
What was she planning to do? Use the child as a bargaining chip against Jaylan? What did she want to do with the child? I was getting anxious, my fists instinctively clenched, and sweat was starting to form on my palms.
Could the 'thing' Jaylan mentioned earlier be the drug? If it was, wasn't he afraid that Zora would play dirty tricks and drug him at any moment?
It seemed that the drug was still in Zora's possession.
I stood there, dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting that I was eavesdropping. If she still had the drug, where would she hide it?
After a long silence, I suddenly heard Jaylan say, "Get up, since your mouth has been idle for a few days, it's about time you put in some work, come here..."
After that, I heard a rustling sound, followed by Jaylan's disgusting moans. I felt a wave of disgust wash over me, and I muttered a curse under my breath before retreating to my room.
I never thought that this home, which I had always seen as sacred, could be so filthy.
It seemed that I couldn't let them ignore me any longer.
The next day.
Carl was looking much better, he had some scrambled eggs, and his little body was twitching non-stop, he was no longer listless.
Zora had a new necklace around her neck, obviously a recent addition, it seemed her efforts last night weren't in vain.
