Naomi turned over Francis’ body and saw that his face was pale. His heartbeat was irregular and his breathing was weak. She then ordered Erica, “Bring his medicine over and feed him two more pills.”
Erica immediately went upstairs and returned with a bottle. Naomi took two pills out of the bottle and fed them into Francis’ mouth. Then, she gave him water to dissolve the pills.
Francis would never have thought that his wife and daughter were currently plotting to kill him.
Francis was in a daze and felt someone was forcing something in his mouth. His survival instinct pressured him to open his eyes, but he heard his daughter Erica speaking instead.
“Mom, what should we do? What’s the next step?”
“What else? We will let Alex take him to his own bed and let him die,”
Francis couldn’t believe that this cold
voice belonged to his wife.
“But, Mom, he hasn’t updated his will!”
“Alex said he has a plan. We will wait for him and discuss it later.”
“That’s great. In that case, we will own 60% of the shares of the Tillman Group!”
Francis was trembling and couldn’t open his eyes, but he could hear their conversation clearly. As a result, Naomi and Erica thought that he had fainted entirely.
Their behavior made him disheartened. and he was getting distraught and distressed. He could taste the medicine in his mouth as a bitter taste flooded in his throat.
He could taste the pills and it was then that he finally realized these weren’t the
usual pills he had.
A shuddering thought came to his mind. Did someone switch them out? Is my wife plotting against me with my most trusted
subordinate and my daughter?
“Mom, why hasn’t Alex come yet? I’m getting nervous. What if he wakes up?” Erica was getting anxious at this point.
Francis felt his heart beating violently as his consciousness faded again. He fell into darkness again in pain and grief.
