Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 3565

Kathryn asked, “Is this the medicine my mother gave me before, the one she made me drink?”

Pedro replied, “That’s what Madam Farrell said. But I’m not sure if it’s the same. The hospital didn’t give us the results. I suspect Madam Farrell used her influence to keep the truth from us. I won’t let you take this medicine. I’ll send it to another hospital to find out what it really is.”

Despite Pedro’s warning, Kathryn opened the packet and sniffed it. “It smells like the drink I had last time.”

Pedro cautioned, “Don’t get too close. If you accidentally ingest it, you might be bedridden for days.”

Kathryn carefully folded the packet and handed it back. “Take it to a hospital outside Jensburg. My mother’s been plotting for years and has connections. If she finds out, we won’t get the truth.”

Pedro pocketed the packet. Kathryn then teased, “My mother asked you to drug me, but you didn’t. Aren’t you worried she’ll come after you?”

Pedro lightly pinched her cheek. “I’m loyal to you, not your mother. She may lead the family, but I’m not her assistant. I can disobey her unless you tell me otherwise. She said the medicine wouldn’t harm you, and I believe her, but medicine is still dangerous. Last time, you took a sip and ended up in the hospital for days. The effects are strong and could harm you. I could never do something that would hurt you.”

Pedro spoke earnestly, knowing Kathryn was testing him. By giving her the medicine immediately, he showed his loyalty. He would always be devoted to her.

“Why won’t you tell me?” Kathryn pressed. Suddenly, Pedro blushed.
