Chapter 506: Misunderstanding

"But, with my very own eyes, I saw you bring the medicine here to me.”

Janet was utterly flummoxed.

Elizabeth then told her the whole story. "When I was about to leave, I ran into Rosa. I asked her whyshe hasn't left yet. She said that the nurse asked her to send the medicine to you, but then she said Mr.Wesley had something urgent to talk to her about, so she had to leave. That's why she asked me tobring you the medicine, so that she could go attend to her other engagement with Mr. Wesley.”

Elizabeth continued, "But are you certain that there is something wrong with the medicine?"

"My husband has had samples of it analyzed. The results came back and there is definitely a purgativeagent in it,” Janet answered.

Elizabeth kept mum when she heard her response. it was not until then that it dawned upon Janet. Shesaid, "Rosa must I have tampered with the medicine and asked you to deliver it to me. That way, shecould place the blame squarely on you.”

Elizabeth still kept completely silent. She was never a fan of people scheming against each other.

Janet noticed her lengthy silence so suddenly ventured a question, "Penny for your thoughts? Whyaren't you saying anything?" Elizabeth shook her head.

“I'm not good at dealing with the complicated relationships at play in the workplace, so I didn't see whatyou so easily observed."

Janet's eyes brightened with glee and she couldn't help but laugh, "Well, you always look so distantand aloof. Perhaps therein is where the problem lies.”

Janet had never really thought that Elizabeth would turn out to be a genuinely nice person since shelooked so frigid on the surface. She also hadn't thought that Rosa would be so conniving. No wonderRosa would act weird from time to time, especially when Janet was praised by Draco.

“It's my fault that I lied to you. I'm sorry," Janet said in sincere apology. "I shouldn't have jumped to theconclusion that you were the one who did it just because you looked distant."

“I'm not distant. I just don't like to social with others and tend to be a little introverted. Maybe that's whyI don't have many friends. Back in school, I was always isolated from the others," Elizabeth said with abitter smile 5 With a gentle smile, Janet said in a relaxed tone, "Well, now I know.”

This misunderstand had actually resulted in the two of them becoming closer.

After this interaction, Elizabeth came to visit her a few times again, but she was still a woman of fewwords. Janet felt it surprisingly interesting to hang out with a character such as Elizabeth.

That night, when Ethan came to the hospital straight from work, he was told what had transpired.

"Although I could be sure it was Rosa now, I don't have any cold, hard evidence." Janet had mixedfeelings.

Looking at her lifeless, gaunt face, Ethan frowned ever so slightly.

Since they had come to Barnes, one thing happened after the other, without a moment for reprieve.

He tucked her in and said, “Don't think about it. Just relax and take a good rest.”

Ethan checked the surveillance video of the hospital that day, but found nothing.

Presumably, Rosa would taken the precaution to have avoided the cameras when she did it.

Janet had almost recovered, and the Milan Fashion Week was around the corner. She decided to putthis matter aside for the time being. She could deal with Rosa after she came back from Milan.
