The Innocent Wife of Scheming President novel Chapter 491

Mrs. Hoyle quickly remembered, “How can I not? You spilled it on all over Ophelia and scalded her that she screamed. I even thought why Alan find me one clumsy doctor.”

The doctor shook his head, “It wasn’t that I was clumsy or not careful. I did it on purpose.”

Mrs. Hoyle was taken aback for a moment, “On purpose? Why?”

The doctor said, “The prescription was written by me, so I naturally knew how the medicine is. Traditional Chinese medicine is known for slow conditioning, but that medicine has a poison in it. If the amount of various medicinal materials isn’t properly matched, the medicine for treating diseases can also become a poisonous one. Madam, your leg suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, so I have included Thunder Duke Vine, it has the effects of dispelling cold, removing dampness, and relieving pain. But, at the same time it’s also a toxic medicine.”

Mrs. Hoyle couldn’t help being shocked, “But you still give it to me.”

“It’s difficult to find ordinary medicines to replace its effect. If it’s matched good with other medicines and controlled in a moderate amounts, it’s a great medicine. However, if it’s slightly excessive in the daily dosage, it’s a slow poison. I don’t know if Madam still remembers, when I knocked over the bowl, your hands were shaking on their own and you couldn’t even hold chopsticks while eating.”

“I do. How can I not? I thought I had a stroke at that time.”

“It’s not a stroke. But someone has secretly increased the dose of Thunder Duke Vine.”

Mrs. Hoyle hesitated, “You mean, Ophelia was behind that?”

“Yes!”

“Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Doctor asked her back, “Would you believe me if I did?”

Mrs. Hoyle was stunned for a while. If she had placed it in the past, she really wouldn’t believe it. But now, after went through so many things, she had to believe even if she refused to. Was Ophelia really an unscrupulous and vicious-hearted person?

She actually wanted her to die. Mrs. Hoyle was unable to digest this completely for a while. She could only listen the doctor said, “If I told you back then, in your mind, I would only be regarded as a person sent by Mr. Hoyle to separate you and Ms. Meyer. It would be in vain even if I said it. So, it’s better I kept quiet.”

Mrs. Hoyle seemed to have an understanding. “This is why you take over to handle the medicine personally and watch me drinking it?”

“Yes. I’ve reported this to Mr. Hoyle. He asked me to keep watch. All medicines may not give to you from other people, even if it’s the one you trust the most. So, although Mr. Hoyle keeps against you from the outside, he still cares about you in the inside. At that time, you said that I was sent by Mr. Hoyle to monitor you as Ms. Steele’s lobbyist, but that’s not true at all. He came to me and only let me be responsible for your health and there is no extra work left to me. I also just knew Ms. Steele, but I can see that she’s a person with a strong kind heart…”

“And you just said you aren’t her lobbyist,” Mrs. Hoyle interrupted him. “Aren’t you just doing it now for that woman?”

“But it’s also the truth. You should believe that an evil-hearted mother can’t raise up such well-behaved, sensible, and clever child. This is called teach by precept and example.” Doctor meant Annie.

“Okay, okay,” Mrs. Hoyle waved her hand and laid down on her back. “You don’t have to say nice things for them. I know it in my own heart too.”

The doctor turned on the AC and covered the old lady. “Since Madam has clearly known, why do you still making it hard for Ms. Steele? I think, as long as you have peace of mind, she’s definitely not the one to be blamed.”

“You can leave first. I need some silence.”

This silence caused her insomnia all night. When she woke up tomorrow morning, she had an obvious dark circles under her eyes.

In the end, years hadn’t been forgiving. When she looked in the mirror, there were a lot of wrinkles in the corners of her eyes and forehead. Her skin wasn’t as smooth and supple as when she was young.

When she went downstairs, she saw Ada and Aoba who she didn’t know when they returned last night, were talking and laughing with that woman. Annie was in her arms, watching the animal world on the TV on the wall.

“Morning, Mrs. Hoyle,” Olive was the first to greet her.

Aoba and Ada followed, “Morning, mother.”

Annie also turned her head from the TV, “Morning, grandma.”

Everyone had smiles on, as if the unpleasant things from yesterday had never happened.

She looked at where Olive was sitting. It was Ophelia’s favorite seat. The fabric on it was personally selected by her. She said that in that seat, she could see Alan’s car drive in for the first time.

At that time, she thought she was silly and cute. Now that she thought about it, it tasted different.

Seeing Ophelia cried bitterly in the detention center and saying that because she couldn’t stop her father, she felt deeply guilty in her heart. So, that was why she treated the old lady better over the years, treating her as a mother.

She was nice to her. But if it was true, why would she want her dead?

The false sentiment turned out to be all fake. So fake that it pained her.

It turned out she had loved the wrong person. She was a joke herself.

Everyone had to think her as a joke. Looking at them happily laughing, hideously being insolent, it pierced her ears.

“Let’s eat,” Alan yelled from the dining table.

Annie jumped off from Olive’s arms and pulled on Mrs. Hoyle’s hand. “Grandma, let’s eat together.”

Mrs. Hoyle was startled and then looked at the natural and peaceful faces. What happened to her just now?

An illusion or a demon?
