Charlotte poured out the pills from the bottle, they were all round and white, nothing special. The fabric of the packaging also looked fine as if Charlotte was being paranoid.
But considering her aversion to Smollett, she decided not to take the risk.
When Joe entered, he happened to catch her throwing the pills into the trash can.
Charlotte hesitated, not expecting to be caught in the act.
"I was just..." Charlotte thought for a long time, not knowing how to explain.
Fortunately, Joe didn't press the issue, he simply said, "If you don't feel unwell, it's fine to throw the medicine away."
He no longer insisted on Charlotte regaining her memory; rather than seeing her suffer, it was better to let her start life anew.
The current psychological treatment was the same; if Charlotte felt uncomfortable, then it was fine not to take medication.
If Charlotte knew Joe's thoughts, she would probably be both amused and puzzled.
Joe's bottom line seemed to be set rather low when facing her. Would he applaud and hand her a knife if he saw her kill someone?
Considering Joe's attitude these days, it's not impossible.
The next day, Smollett came to the villa again.
This time Joe did not appear, but had a chair moved to the doorway.
He had already installed a one-way glass window overnight, so he could keep an eye on the room without disturbing Charlotte.
"Even if he couldn't go in, he still wanted Charlotte to feel that he was there with her."
Before starting the consultation, Smollett casually asked, "Did you feel anything unusual after taking the medication yesterday?"
