Knowing that Pedro cared about Kathryn, Clarissa reassured him, “Don’t worry, this medicine won’t harm her. It will just make her sleep for a few days. Even when she wakes up, she’ll be weak for a week or two. I would never harm my only daughter.”
Pedro took the packet of powder, slipped it into his pocket, and said to Clarissa, “Madam, I’ve taken the medicine, but I can’t guarantee the young lady will take it.”
Clarissa had already decided that if Pedro didn’t do it, she would find someone else to drug Kathryn. But Pedro planned to have the medicine tested first to understand what it was, so Kathryn could be more cautious.
“I understand you don’t mean to harm her, madam,” Pedro continued, “but Kathryn is an adult with her own mind. If I do this, she’ll be furious with me.”
After a pause, Clarissa said, “It doesn’t matter what she thinks. I just want to get her out of here.”
“Pedro, for Kathryn’s sake, we must be on the same page this time. We’re doing this for her.”
Pedro wanted to argue—was this really for Kathryn’s sake? Did Kathryn want this? But he held his tongue.
Clarissa added, “Don’t tell Kathryn about the medicine.”
Pedro responded, “I’m someone she trusts. I can’t keep secrets from her.”
Clarissa replied firmly, “Sometimes it’s necessary to keep things from her. There are lies, and then there are lies told for the right reasons. It’s okay to tell a good lie once in a while. Even if Kathryn gets mad at you, it won’t last. She’s smart and will understand my intentions as her mother.”

Don’t really like Evan & Abby story she lied and everyone is taking her side he can’t help he’s a little slow...
I don’t know if you all realize this but at the end of each chapter it asks for the number to be verified in box and you get more of the chapter. I just figured it out last week. Although chapter 4275 caption # was 5098 if kept rejecting that # when verified. I do to wish this was a completed book. But is this like a soap opera in some country? Anyway, I love that Tatum has told Elora that she is who he is persueing....
