Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 35

A wave of nausea hit me, and I knew instantly what Jaylan was meaning.

This was a self-inflicted disgrace for Zora.

"You should thank her for giving you the opportunity to please me with your mouth, otherwise, you think

you'd ever have the chance to get close to me?" Jaylan's words were disgustingly shameless.

"But the child..."

Jaylan interrupted her instantly, "Don't bargain with me, keep your head down!"

Child?

What was she planning to do? Use the child as a bargaining chip against Jaylan? What did she want to

do with the child? I was getting anxious, my fists instinctively clenched, and sweat was starting to form

on my palms.

Could the 'thing' Jaylan mentioned earlier be the drug? If it was, wasn't he afraid that Zora would play

dirty tricks and drug him at any moment?

It seemed that the drug was still in Zora's possession.

I stood there, dumbfounded, momentarily forgetting that I was eavesdropping. If she still had the drug,

where would she hide it?

After a long silence, I suddenly heard Jaylan say, "Get up, since your mouth has been idle for a few

days, it's about time you put in some work, come here..."

After that, I heard a rustling sound, followed by Jaylan's disgusting moans. I felt a wave of disgust wash

over me, and I muttered a curse under my breath before retreating to my room.

I never thought that this home, which I had always seen as sacred, could be so filthy.

It seemed that I couldn't let them ignore me any longer.

The next day.

Carl was looking much better, he had some scrambled eggs, and his little body was twitching non-stop,

he was no longer listless.

Zora had a new necklace around her neck, obviously a recent addition, it seemed her efforts last night

weren't in vain.

I cast her a disdainful glance, quietly eating my food. For the first time, the food in my mouth didn't

taste good. I felt sick to my stomach. However, I had to maintain my strength and get stronger as soon

as possible.

Jaylan walked down the stairs, sat next to me, looking fresh and revitalized. He even stroked my hair,

"You're looking well today."

"I'm not taking the medicine, of course I'm better!" I retorted, scrutinizing his reaction.

Although I didn't know why he stopped giving me the medicine, I couldn't overact, so I had to gradually

appear to be in better condition. This would make it more convincing.

And besides, I wanted to put some pressure on them. They were flirting right under my nose, it was as

if they were mocking me. I couldn't let them get too comfortable.

Jaylan, still as carefree as ever, said lovingly, "As long as you're feeling better, honey, that's all that

matters. I don't want to force the medicine on you, it must have been hard for you, taking it for so long."

"One of these days, I want to go to the hospital for a check-up, I've been feeling so weak. I need to get

some tests done, see if I've lost any vital nutrients from taking that medicine for so long," I mumbled to

myself, "I should get my head checked too, it's been hurting, there must be something wrong."

I noticed Zora, who was serving the food, paused momentarily.

"Don't worry, I'll accompany you when I have the time! We'll find a good doctor to take a look." Jaylan

remained calm and collected, handing me a slice of ham, "Once I've signed the contract with the

company from Amethyst Acres, I'll take you."

"Okay." I achieved my goal, so I decided to stop there and focused on eating my food.

Every now and then, I'd glance at Zora, planning my next move. I needed to teach her a lesson. Now

that I had identified my target, I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. That would be a sign of

weakness.

Jaylan hurriedly finished his breakfast and left for work. I spent some time with Carl, who was quite

well-behaved and adorable.

Zora was unusually chatty today, trying to strike up a conversation with me, and even apologizing for

her negligence that had caused Carl to fall sick.

I deliberately asked, "Are you overwhelmed with house chores? Is that why you're lacking energy? If

you're tired, I can hire an extra hand to help out!"

Sure enough, this statement hit the mark. She was quick to dismiss the idea, "No, no, no, ma'am! I can

handle it, there's no need to hire anyone else. It would be a waste to pay another person's salary, I can

manage! I'll be more careful next time."

Of course, she wouldn't want me to hire someone else, as it would pose a threat to her, or rather to This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

both of them.

But then again, I had no intention of letting her off the hook anytime soon.
