Marriage With A Evil Heart

Around noon, Scarlette called me, informing me that the dean had received the antidote sent from abroad. She asked me to let her know when it was safe, and she would bring it to me.

I promptly decided, “Let’s meet outside! I want to talk to you about something.”

“Ah?… Is that okay?” She was surprised by my decision and inquired, “Is your body okay?”

“I also want to get some fresh air. It feels like I’m growing moldy in here,” I said wistfully. “Being timid won’t accomplish anything. Robert has been doing whatever he pleases for so long, and I can’t even step outside for some fresh air?”

Scarlette agreed with a hearty laugh, “Alright, damn it!”

I informed Scarlette, “Robert explicitly gave the order to stop my medication.”

“What’s going on? What’s he up to now?” Scarlette asked, concerned. “Has he discovered something? You need to be careful.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Your instincts are sharp. He probably sensed my suspicion, so he had Sherry stop my medication! But I still feel there’s more to it, not just because of that!” To be honest, the feeling was quite palpable. Since he had already decided to act, why wouldn’t he follow through?

“Okay, let’s discuss it when we meet. Where do you want to go, and I’ll come pick you up! But isn’t the time too short?” Scarlette was a bit worried about my safety.

“It’s fine!” I said mysteriously, “I’ll make sure she has a good sleep and gets used to it. Just somewhere near my home is good; it’s convenient to come back.”

“So, you mean it’s her turn to sleep now?” Scarlette teased, well aware of how I dealt with Sherry.

I chuckled knowingly.

After lunch, with Charles taking an early nap due to his illness, I added some spice to Sherry’s situation, letting her accompany Charles in a deep sleep.

Scarlette picked me up, and we went to a nearby café. She handed me a small packet of medicine, saying, “Keep this medicine safe. I still have some left, and I didn’t bring it all, fearing you might have trouble storing it. Make sure to take it on time! The dean instructed that after finishing these medicines, go for a test to see if there’s any improvement and plan the next steps for treatment.”

I nodded and handed Scarlette the USB drive for safekeeping, just in case.

“Are you sure Robert has another motive?” Scarlette looked at me seriously, her eyes full of questions.

“Sure! Definitely, there must be another reason. I haven’t noticed it all these years. He turns out to be a lecher, unfaithful to me, and since he’s harboring murderous intentions, he won’t suddenly stop! There’s no other explanation that makes sense.” My words left Scarlette momentarily stunned, and she sighed, asking, “You already know?”

“Don’t tell me Albert has found out too?” I caught a hint of information in Scarlette’s words.

“Yeah!” Scarlette nodded noncommittally. “I didn’t expect that over the years, Robert has maintained improper relationships with many women. The social connections are complex, and his background is mysterious. Including the maid in your house, they are all his sexual partners. He uses this to conquer many women who then serve him, not just in a sexual sense, but becoming his…”

Scarlette pondered, as if searching for an accurate term, “How should I put it? Like a puppet as you said, devotedly doing things for him.”

Hearing Scarlette’s words, I felt a chill all over my body.

How foolish I was! I chose such a person all those years ago!

“Daisy, don’t be angry. Life is long, and how can you guarantee not to encounter a scumbag!” Scarlette hurriedly comforted me.

“What about Sherry?” I asked Scarlette, looking at her.
