Sharon thought about it for a long time before gasping. "I know. It’s not food, she'd been giving me tea leaves. She told me that it was of good quality and originated from her hometown. I think the tea has a nice aroma so I drink it often!” Sharon paused and took in another breath. “She emphasised that this tea was expensive and exotic so I should only keep it to myself! I didn’t pay much attention to it but she sends it to me every other month and constantly asks if I have finished the tea!”
Sharon gulped and looked at Fane in horror after she figured it out. “You're saying that there's something wrong with the tea leaves!”
Fane nodded. “That must be it. She must've tampered the tea leaves!”
“How could she do that? I treat Serene so well, why does she do this to me?” Sharon was disappointed. She walked a few steps backward and was unwilling to accept the fact.
However, what Fane said made sense and she knew things were not incidental.
Was it possible that Serene wanted to make fun of her for planning a confession that was bound to fail?
“Commoners will only know about medications for losing weight and not so much about drugs for putting on weight! Furthermore, this medication is weird as it will cause people to lose control over their appetite and develop strong craving for food!
“Consuming this drug for a prolonged period of time will lead to addiction and will cause huge problems for the body. Apart from that, there aren’t any obvious symptoms in the beginning and the symptoms gradually appeared after a month of intake. Your condition is the same as the symptoms. Others wouldn’t have heard of this medication as it’s very rare, it's known as Tanio," Fane explained slowly and every sentence terrified Sharon.
