Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051 Twist and Turn (5)

Tom watched his sister's urgent gaze, her brow furrowed in concentration as she thought back to the events of that night. It was a stark contrast from her usual carefree demeanor.

Rose stared at her brother with anticipation, too nervous to speak.

After a moment of silence, Tom seemed to remember something and hesitated before speaking.

Seeing him like this, Rose couldn't hold back and spoke up. "If you think there's anything off about what happened that night, just tell me. Don't worry about misunderstandings."

They had hit a dead end. The only way out was through Tom; if he couldn't find any clues, then they would be stuck in this situation.

If Madeleine and Rachel made their move first, things would only get worse for them and it was only a matter of time before Tom ended up behind bars.

Tom looked up at his sister's anxious expression and finally voiced his suspicions.

"I was feeling sick that night - I had a bit of a cold and my head felt dizzy. I think I might have even had a fever."

"One of my colleagues noticed how bad I looked and gave me some cold medicine."

"At the time, I didn't think much of it but now looking back on it... that medicine might have been the only thing I ate or drank all night."

The woman's expression turned icy as soon as she heard this revelation; her eyes sharpened with intensity.

"It must be something wrong with that medication," she said excitedly while grasping tightly onto Tom's wrist. "What is your colleague's name? Do you know anything else about him?"

"He goes by Preston McKnight but other than that... I don't know much else."

Tom hung his head in self-blame while his voice became hoarse and low; regretting not being more cautious when taking medicine from someone else without knowing its origin or contents beforehand.

Rose understood how he felt, so she gently patted him on the shoulder while smiling reassuringly at him. "We've got our breakthrough now though, right?"

Tom lifted his gaze towards Rose worriedly. "Rose, just forget..."

Before he could finish speaking however, Rose cut him off abruptly.

"I understand what you're thinking, but please don't say it out loud because I'll get angry."

She knew exactly what kind of look Tom had on just now - one where he wanted to give up entirely - but how could they give up when they were siblings?

Madeleine and Rachel were cunning and malicious. Rose had just returned and was about to face them. Tom worried that she would be bullied by them.

Rose saw the worry in her brother's eyes and stepped forward, gently leaning on his shoulder.

"Brother, you're my only family now."

The man stiffened and gently embraced his sister.
