No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 205

I was hell-bent on getting into that car, and surprisingly, it turned out to be way easier than I thought.

But tracking down the address I needed was going to require a bit more cunning.

"Luke, can you pull over? I feel queasy and think I'm gonna hurl," I said, feigning discomfort as we passed a pharmacy.

"Sure, sure," Luke glanced at me through the rearview mirror and quickly agreed.

Once we stopped, Luke turned to me, concern etched in his features, "Felicia, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"It's probably just something I ate at Herschel's. I think his homemade chili might have upset my stomach," I replied, knowing bringing Herschel into it would make Luke take the situation more seriously.

Clutching my stomach, I continued, "Luke, could you grab me some omeprazole? I'll feel better after taking one."

Luke nodded, though he still looked worried. "Are you sure you don't need the hospital?"

I stayed silent, and Luke got the message.

Having been around the Wagner family for years, he knew better than to take me lightly, even if I wasn’t currently in Conrad’s favor.

Luke hurried out of the car, and I quickly added, "And grab me a bottle of water, will you?"

"Drinking cold water might make it worse. There's warm water in the car; I'll pour you some when I get back," Luke said, still concerned as he glanced back at me before heading to the pharmacy.

Watching him rush off, I stealthily got up and leaned over to check the navigation history.

Sneaking around like this was nerve-wracking; my heart was pounding at least at 180 beats per minute.

I was constantly looking out the window to make sure Luke wasn’t coming back. Thankfully, the pharmacy was on the other side of a barrier, so it would take him some time to return.

I scrolled through the navigation routes, but, oddly enough, I couldn't find what I was looking for, even after going back a month.

Was I mistaken?

I kept looking, determined not to give up, until I saw Luke coming back with the medicine.
