Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 81

After all that, I carefully returned the first aid kit to its original place and, with a cup of water in hand, I walked back to my room.

I was doing all this to avoid arousing Zora's suspicion. If she were to find antipyretics in the kit, my explanation would crumble.

When I left the room, I deliberately told her not to follow me. I was confident that she didn't have the guts to confront me directly.

I placed the cup of water down and swiftly fetched the medicine. A glance at the box made me chuckle. Fate seemed to be on my side. The medicine had already expired. I kept a few pills and flushed the rest down the drain.

Returning to my bed, I tossed the medicine box into the bedside table drawer, just in case. I then hopped onto the bed and listened to the sounds outside. All was quiet.

But I was certain that Zora wouldn't let it go. She was bound to check the first aid kit to verify if I had lied.

With a sigh, I thought, damn it! It felt like I was in a never-ending game of wits in my own house. Even soap operas didn't have this kind of drama.

I pulled the blanket closer, muttered under my breath, and laughed coldly, "Let's see if you can stay up all night."

But just as I was about to drift off, a sudden thought jolted me awake. If Zora was spying on me and decided to snitch to Jaylan, would they drug me into unconsciousness again?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. Especially now, with Probert back with me. If I were to be drugged again, the kids would be in danger.

Just then, I heard a faint noise. Holding my breath, I strained my ears.

There was no doubt about it. Zora was on the move again.

As soon as the noise died down, I sprang up, fetched my hidden phone, and darted into the bathroom.

I checked the surveillance app on my phone and sure enough, I saw Zora sneakily heading to where the first aid kit was kept. After making sure I wasn't up, she crouched down and began rifling through the kit.

She spent quite some time before finally leaving everything as it was and slinking back to her room.

The next day.
