Sister Hua was stumped by the question. She had been preparing breakfast initially, how could she have noticed what the young master was holding in his hands? Sister Hua shook her head blankly, "I’m not sure about that."
Chuxia stared at Sister Hua with her large eyes, her hands gripping the water glass even tighter, her expression earnest and determined, "Sister Hua, could you please think about it again?"
Sister Hua didn’t understand why Chuxia was suddenly so interested in a dicine box, but she still recalled that morning’s events carefully and described them slowly, "I don’t think so, at that ti, the young master received a phone call, hurried out, grabbed his coat, and left."
Chuxia’s heart remained hanging and couldn’t relax, she held her breath and asked again, "Are you sure? The young master really didn’t have a dicine box in his hand?"
Sister Hua thought for a mont then beca sowhat troubled because she genuinely hadn’t noticed whether Che had a dicine box in his hand when he left. She only saw the coat draped over Che’s hand; after pondering, her voice was a bit uncertain, "Maybe not?"
Hearing those hesitant words, Chuxia’s heart tightened again, her face turned pale with anxiety and her voice involuntarily raised, "Sister Hua, did he have it or not?"
Sister Hua was startled by Chuxia’s voice, froze for a mont, and Chuxia realized that she had been too nervous. She quickly lowered her eyes and let out an embarrassed smile with a softer voice, "Sorry, Sister Hua."
Sister Hua smiled and indicated it was okay, then continued, "Young Madam, I don’t know why you are so nervous about that dicine box, but if you want to know if the young master took it, why not just call him and ask?"
Chuxia’s hand trembled at Sister Hua’s words, her eyes darkened completely, and she tugged at the corner of her lips, unable to muster a smile.
If she could just ask Che, then she wouldn’t need to make wild guesses here and be scared!
Chuxia’s fingers, gripping the water cup, turned slightly pale; she tried her best to appear normal, her voice gently yet forcefully changed the topic, "Sister Hua, I’m hungry, is breakfast ready?"
Although puzzled, Sister Hua saw Chuxia dodging the issue, and decided not to ask further. She simply went along with what Chuxia said, "Yes, I’ll bring it out now; just give a mont."
With that, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Chuxia slumped back in the couch, her eyes slightly sorrowful. The dicine box couldn’t have vanished into thin air. Since Sister Hua hadn’t seen it, it’s very likely that Che had picked it up.
But it was odd that Che picked it up and didn’t confront her at once. Thus, she speculated that either Che hadn’t picked it up, or he had but hadn’t yet thought much about it; after all, at a glance, it appeared to be just a simple vitamin case.
Yet, if Che really had picked it up, given his suspicious nature and her current actions, it wasn’t impossible that he would start to think along other lines. Once he did, her doom was sealed.
This ti, swapping the dications, she had made a bold decision to proceed. If it hadn’t succeeded yet and was discovered, she could never be content.
No matter what, she had to find out if Che had indeed picked up the dicine box. If he really had, she must retrieve it and eradicate all traces!
