"Alright, time's up, let's go to class."

Micah carried one on his back, held one in his arms, and held another in his hand, resembling a tree covered in little monkeys. He walked out confidently.

He even turned back to Brenda and said, "Brenda, please let Sadie know we're going to the study upstairs."

"Okay, go ahead," Brenda answered, watching them leave. She then knocked on the bathroom door. "Say-Say, are you okay?"

"Nothing to worry about..." Sadie was hunched over the sink, her face contorted with pain, but she struggled to keep calm. "Brenda, I have a bit of diarrhea. You go upstairs first, and I'll join you in a bit." "It's no trouble, and I'll stay here with you," Brenda said, unable to bear to leave Sadie's side. "Do you eat too much tonight? Let me bring you a cup of hot water."

"Mm."

Listening to the footsteps outside, Sadie finally collapsed onto the floor, beads of sweat dripping incessantly from her forehead...

Sadie bit her lip hard, almost drawing blood...

The piercing pain continued to spread. When Sadie tilted her head to look at her right shoulder, she noticed no visible change, but it felt as though worms were gnawing through her veins.

Recalling the injection the woman had administered, Sadie suddenly realized its true intention. Its purpose extended beyond mere sedation—it carried a potent poison, skillfully concealed to evade even Dahlia's detection. "Miss, how are you feeling?" Brenda called from outside.

"I'm fine." Sadie furrowed her brow. "I just need a little more time. You go ahead."

"Alright, I've put the hot water on the table for you. Drink some when you come out. If you still feel uncomfortable, you need to take medication," Brenda advised.

"Got it." Sadie tried to keep her voice calm.

Brenda left.

Sadie sat weakly on the floor, and half an hour later, the pain finally subsided.

She pulled up from the floor, washed her face, and walked out, picking up the hot water from the table and taking a few sips.

Seeing Nathan's jacket and Mia's shoes still on the couch, Sadie became confused when she remembered the warm and beautiful scene from earlier.

At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside, followed by Dahlia's voice. "Sadie, can I come in?"

"Please come in," Sadie quickly responded.

Dahlia entered, holding a medical kit, and asked with concern, "Brenda said you weren't feeling well in your stomach. What's going on? I brought the medicine box to see if you need anything."

"It's nothing," Sadie hurriedly said. "I might have just eaten too much tonight and had some indigestion. Using the restroom made it better."

"That's a relief." Dahlia still handed her a box of medicine. "These are digestive pills. You can take a few. They'll help with digestion."

"Thank you." Sadie took the pills and pretended to casually ask, "Dahlia, Brenda, and my friends are treated at your place, and I heard other doctors talking about how skilled you are."

"To be honest, I would consider myself at the top of the medical field," Dahlia replied confidently about her profession.

"Um, if even you can't cure a disease, then no one else can, right?" Sadie tentatively asked.

"Well, it depends on the situation," Dahlia replied more objectively. "Some surgeries still need to be done by relevant specialists. After all, everyone has their limitations in what they excel at. But for the general issues, I can handle them. And even if I can't, I can arrange for doctors from my hospital to solve them."

"Oh..." Sadie's heart sank. If Dahlia, renowned in the medical field, couldn't identify the poison affecting her, it must be a complex issue.
