"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Damian Knight said, "I’m not made of glass, you don’t have to be so careful. Just apply so dicine, it’s okay."
Sumr Monroe opened her mouth, wanting to speak but hesitated.
She wanted to tell Damian Knight that he really didn’t have to do this; she didn’t want to owe him too much.
But with Henry Stanton present, she couldn’t say such words and could only watch as the servant carefully applied dicine to Damian Knight.
Finally, the dicine was applied, and the bandaging was done.
Sumr Monroe calculated the ti, realizing it was almost what she needed, and deliberately engaged Henry Stanton in small talk.
During this, Damian Knight cooperated well with her, asking Henry Stanton so questions about Clarissa Stanton, dragging the ti a bit longer.
Henry Stanton answered sowhat absentmindedly.
Soon, Henry Stanton couldn’t stay any longer and said, "Let’s go over and see how she’s doing. If it’s really bad, we’ll send her to a ntal hospital for treatnt."
Sumr Monroe was a bit worried that Dr. Jason hadn’t completely "handled" things over there, and was debating how to stall Henry Stanton a bit longer when they heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Co in," Henry Stanton said.
Sumr Monroe saw the butler pushing the door open, and he imdiately said, "Sir, Young Miss, Young Master Knight, Dr. Jason said he’s almost done, has prescribed so dication, and asked for you to check."
Sumr Monroe felt a load off her mind, smiling as she said to Henry Stanton, "Dad, let’s go see if Auntie has gotten any better."
"Hmm," Henry Stanton responded, gesturing to Damian Knight to proceed.
The three of them walked towards the bedroom together.
At the bedroom door, Henry Stanton took a step forward, stood in front of them, and said, "I’ll go in first, in case she goes crazy and hurts you."
Sumr Monroe nodded, her gaze landing on a now-extinguished scented candle on the table.
She had surreptitiously taken it from the Hughes Family, never expecting it to co in handy once more.
Her plan was to use the drug in the scented candle to cause Stella Monroe to hallucinate upon waking.
That way, when Stella Monroe mistook Henry Stanton for Felix Jennings, there would be quite the spectacle!
Sumr Monroe followed quietly behind Henry Stanton, her calm deanor masking turbulent emotions.
Stella Monroe had clearly lost her mind, and a person who has lost their mind could do anything, so she had to seize every opportunity to make Stella Monroe lose Henry Stanton’s trust, and possibly even prompt him to ask for a divorce.
But Sumr Monroe couldn’t understand why her right eye was twitching as if to warn her that things might not go so smoothly.
Just as Henry Stanton reached Stella Monroe’s bedside, Stella Monroe slowly opened her eyes.
Beside her, Jason discreetly gave Sumr Monroe a thumbs up, as if seeking praise.
Sumr Monroe was surprised at how childishly Jason behaved; she helplessly curled her lip and turned away, quietly awaiting Stella Monroe’s reaction.
Stella Monroe seed confused for a few seconds, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking in her direction.
Sumr Monroe instinctively stepped back, while beside her, Damian Knight also instinctively stepped closer to her, guarding against any further aggressive behavior from Stella Monroe.
Sumr Monroe was filled with questions, wondering why Stella Monroe seed immune to the drug in the scent lamp’s wick.
That shouldn’t be the case...
While Sumr Monroe was racking her brains, Stella Monroe suddenly struggled to get up from bed, but because her hands and feet were tied, she couldn’t stand up quickly.
All they heard was Stella Monroe struggling and shouting in excitent, "Clarissa! Clarissa, you’re not dead?"
Sumr Monroe was filled with question marks: "???"
