Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 36

Around noon, Catherine gave me a call, told me that Dr. Edmond had received the antidote sent from

overseas. She asked me to text her when it was safe, and she would bring it to me.

Without any hesitation, I told Catherine, "Let's meet up somewhere! I'd love to see you and chat."

" Can you?" She seemed surprised by my proposal, questioning, "Are you well enough?"

"I need some fresh air, I'm going stir-crazy here." I said in a half-joking manner. "Jaylan has been

spreading chaos, why can't I step out for a bit?"

Catherine laughed heartily in agreement. "He's gotten too comfortable!"

I informed Catherine, "Jaylan has explicitly ordered me to stop taking my medicine!"

"What's going on? What's he up to now?" Catherine asked, "Is he trying to create a diversion? You

need to be careful."

"You're always spot on. He's definitely up to something. He must have sensed my suspicions, so he

had Zora stop my medication! But something feels off, it's not just that!"

Truth be told, this feeling was strong, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. If he's already decided to turn

against me, why stop now when he's so close?

"Okay, let's meet and talk. Let me know where you want to meet, I'll come pick you up! But isn't it a bit

too soon?" Catherine was somewhat worried about my safety.

"No, it's not!" I said cryptically. "I will make her fall asleep, and make it a habit. Somewhere near our

community would be fine, it's convenient to get back."

"You mean, it's her turn to sleep now?" Catherine teased, she of course knew how I dealt with Zora.

I smiled knowingly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

After lunch, Carl went to nap early, probably due to not feeling well. So, I added a little something to

Zora's meal, making her join Carl for the nap.

Catherine picked me up and we headed to a nearby café.

She handed me a small bag of medicine, "Keep this safe. I have some more at home, didn't bring all of

it in case you can't store it properly. You must take them on time! Dr. Edmond said to check your health

data after finishing them, to see if there's any improvement and then plan the next treatment."

I nodded, and handed her a USB to keep safe, just in case.

"Are you sure Jaylan has other motives?" Catherine looked at me seriously, her eyes filled with

questions.

"I'm sure! Otherwise, he would have acted already, he wouldn't have stopped midway!" I responded in

disbelief. "He has so many women, and I've never noticed in all these years. He's had murderous

intentions toward me yet suddenly stopped, don't you find it suspicious?"

My words left Catherine stunned, after a while she awkwardly laughed and asked, "You know all about

it?"

"Has Logan found out about his women?" I could sense something from Catherine's words.

"Yes!" Catherine nodded. "Unexpectedly, Jaylan really is something. He has complicated social

relations and maintains illicit relationships with many women, his background is a mystery!

Including your nanny, they're all his sexual partners. He uses this to conquer many women to serve

him, and this service isn't merely sexual. They become his..."

Catherine paused, seemingly unable to find an accurate word to define it. "How can I put this, like you

said, puppets, devotedly doing his bidding."

Hearing Catherine's words, I felt a chill down my spine.

I really was naive, wasn't I? How did I end up with such a person!

"Allie, don't beat yourself up. Who would've thought you'd encounter such a demon!" Catherine quickly

comforted, seeing my distress. "Honestly, after reading these files, I regretted not digging deeper into

his background."

"What about Zora's background?" I asked Catherine, looking at her.
