Are you still taking the medicine from Dr. Sylvester?" asked Lena."No, I've only taken it once when my condition worsened. I've never taken it ever since. Simon mentioned that he had given you a video call about it. I've only taken his medication that day as he was worried that it was an emergency."Lena frowned in response. She could not comprehend why and how Grayson managed to remain healthy if he had stopped taking the Sylvesters' medicine.She wondered if the medicine from Simon had helped create antibodies within Grayson's body that rendered him immune to her poison.She frowned and replied, "May I check your vitals?""Of course."Grayson cooperated with her as she began her work.She maintained her calm expression as she continued checking Grayson thoroughly while panicking within.The examination revealed that Grayson's body was in excellent health, showing no signs of potential illnesses. He appeared to be even healthier than the average person, confirming that the
Grayson narrowed his eyes in suspicion."You've just explained that I was healthier than ever. Why change to a new formula now?"Lena explained, "Insomnia is considered a chronic disease. You may feel better now thanks to the medicine from Dr. Sylvester, but your body may collapse again once its effects wear off. "Treating your insomnia will take some time, so I've adjusted my scented sachets to resume your medication."Grayson knew that Lena was giving him a newly developed poison.He remained calm and accepted her poison with gratitude. "Thank you, Lena. You're always looking out for me."He then kept the new batch of scented sachets in a bag while making sure Lena caught on to his actions.Meredith then approached Grayson."Mr. Page, the meals are all ready. You may have dinner whenever."Grayson turned to Lena. "We've known each other for so long, yet I've never invited you for a meal. If you don't mind, please join us for dinner."Lena hesitated for a moment before agre
Grayson frowned. "Why are you here?""I just returned from overseas when I heard that Belle is not feeling well. So, I decided to visit her. I called her, but she didn't pick up, so I came here right away.""She's not home." Grayson's attitude wasn't friendly at all.Xenia knew that Belle was at the mall right now. She said on purpose, "I'll wait for her, then. I haven't seen her in a while, and I miss her a lot."For Phil's sake, Grayson didn't chase her out right away.Xenia sat at the dining table as she asked Grayson, "Grayson, is Ms. Cahill your friend? I've never met her before."Grayson didn't seem to intend to introduce them. He simply said, "Eat if you're hungry. If not, go and wait in the living room."Xenia fell silent. She stopped talking as she quietly ate. But she felt anxious in her heart.She felt that Grayson was very nice and gentle to Lena. She suspected that Grayson liked Lena, and that was why he had asked Lena to dine in his house while Belle wasn't around
Smoking, Grayson watched the surveillance footage to the end.From Lena's behavior, he could see that she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. She probably knew that there were surveillance cameras in the house.He wondered what her reason was for coming here today.His phone rang. It was a call from Sam."Mr. Page, Lena has already left our surveillance area. Should we follow her?"Grayson asked, "Was there anything out of the ordinary?""No. She never got out of the car, and she'll be arriving at the main road soon.""Alright. You don't have to follow her.""But … are we letting her go just like that? She's elusive and very hard to locate. What if we can't find her in the future?"Sam refused to give up. Lena almost killed Grayson, so Sam was both nervous and angry right now.He wanted to capture Lena and exact revenge on her. It would also prevent her from harming Grayson again.Grayson said, "If she doesn't want you to catch her, you won't be able to succeed even if y
Simon knew that Grayson didn't want Belle to get involved with Lena right now. He nodded. "Got it."Simon carefully put the sachet away, placing it in the medicine kit.He then said, "The police contacted me today. The patients have agreed to settle it in private. If everything goes well, the Sylvester family's hospital will be back in business soon.""We're not in a hurry. You can open for business after we've found some clues about Lena," Grayson said.They had no idea what Lena was trying to do, after all. Lena might be targeting the entire Sylvester family instead of just Dorothy.If that were so, Lena wouldn't want Syl Hospital to thrive.If they put in effort to revive the hospital now, Lena might just ruin it again. Instead, it would be better for them to stay put and calm down for the moment first.Simon nodded. "That works, too."Looking at Simon's worn-out face, Grayson asked, "Is Sabrina still not coming back?"A sorrowful look flashed across Simon's eyes."Even if
Lena whispered a few words. Xenia asked, "It's that simple?""Yes."Xenia felt that the trade wasn't justified at all. It was nearly impossible to get Grayson, but the task Lena spoke of was very simple.Xenia asked, "Are you sure this is the only thing you want in return?""Yes."Xenia thought for a moment. "And you're sure that you can help me get Grayson?""Yes.""How will you do it?""You don't have to know that."Hearing that, Xenia frowned again. But she was quite interested in Lena's suggestion. After all, judging by the trade alone, she was getting a great advantage.Moreover, Grayson never liked her. If she could get Grayson through Lena …Xenia was excited."If what you said is true, then I'm willing to trade with you. But don't ever lie to me. You can ask around in Maltford. I'm not someone you can deceive so easily."Lena ignored Xenia's words. Instead, she only said, "I'll contact you when necessary."With that, Lena left.Xenia was utterly stunned. She fell
Grayson started the car, changing the subject. "Did you have fun today?""Of course! Mrs. Yolanda bought lots of things for me, and she paid for them all. I tried to pay, but she refused to let me pay. There's stuff for you, too.""There's even stuff for me? What are they?""Clothes, socks, shoes, the whole package. You can go back and try them on.""Alright. Who bought it? You or Mom?""Mrs. Yolanda asked me to pick them out, and she paid for them."When Grayson heard that, he felt quite happy about it. After all, Belle had personally picked them out for him.This was the first time Belle had picked out clothes for him.The two went home together. Belle had no idea that Lena was here. So, after getting home, she dashed to the bathroom and washed up. Then, she lay on the bed to sleep.She had just settled in when Grayson came out of the closet. He was holding a white sweater and a pair of blue jeans in his hands."You chose these for me too?""Yes. What's the matter?"Grays
Belle was exasperated. She retorted, "You're not my real husband, anyway. If you were, then I would be super nice to you."I won't just remember your sizes. I'll even remember all your preferences and characteristics, too."Grayson was upset. "How am I not your real husband? Didn't we get a marriage license? Did the country not acknowledge us as a married couple?"Belle pursed her lips. "Ours is a contract marriage. I don't like you, and you don't like me either."But he did indeed like her!Grayson moved his lips, but he didn't voice his thoughts.He asked Belle, "What's your type, then?"Belle thought for a moment. "My Lovy is pretty nice.""Who?""Lovy."Grayson instantly frowned. "So, you already have someone you like?""Yes!""Why did you get married to me, then?" he spoke harshly.Belle said, "I didn't want to get married to you. I was forced, remember?"Grayson said, "Who is this Lovy, then? You've been in Maltford for a while, but he never visited. He probably doe
