Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 105

I was afraid he would continue sifting through my belongings, but he didn’t. Instead, he quietly withdrew

from my room.

I opened my eyes at the moment the bedroom door closed, my heart hammering in my chest. I placed

a hand over my frantic heartbeat, breathing a sigh of relief. His footsteps sounded like he was going

downstairs.

Hastily, I reached for my phone, scrolled through it, and deleted anything that might raise suspicion.

After all this, I was close to collapsing. I couldn’t afford to slip up now; it would undo everything.

I opened the hidden surveillance app on my phone. Downstairs, Zora poured a glass of wine and

handed it to Jaylan. He took it without a word and sipped it.

Zora stood carefully at his side, looking like she wanted to say something. Jaylan gestured for her to

follow him upstairs.

This action startled me. Had he discovered the surveillance? Why else would he silence Zora? It was

clear he was on guard. I quickly switched to another camera angle. Jaylan walked into the study first,

with Zora trailing behind. Before entering the study, she glanced around the hallways, then followed

Jaylan in.

Inside the study, Jaylan walked straight to the couch and sat down, crossing his legs on the coffee

table. He looked at Zora with impatience and contempt. “Speak.”

“Don’t you think Aaliyah has been going out too frequently lately?” Zora immediately brought me into

the conversation, “I doubt there’s anything wrong with her health. Otherwise, why would she be out all

the time?”

I muttered a curse under my breath. It was Zora who had been going out frequently, not me.

But her words served as a warning: I had to be more careful.

Just then, a surprising scene appeared on my phone’s screen. A figure moved stealthily into the

camera’s view, inching towards the study. I realized why Jaylan had signaled Zora to go upstairs.

He was preventing eavesdropping. It was clear he was being cautious. I relaxed a bit since he hadn’t

discovered the other set of cameras inside the house.

I had to thank Logan for his expert installation. His cameras were really hard to spot.

Back in the study, Jaylan remained silent, sipping his wine as Zora waited for his response.

Finally, he told her, “Next time she goes out, follow her. See what she’s up to.”

At this time, the figure outside the door gently attached to the door, listening to the movement inside.

At this time, I really felt a kind of inexplicable stimulation. I was glad that I got the best position.

“She's going out longer and longer and doesn't look like exhausted. So, are you sure that the

medication you prescribed to her was only palliative nutrition?" Zora asked, looking at Jaylan, and then

said suspiciously, "She seems to be recovering a little too fast!"

Jaylan was silent and took another sip of his drink, as if thinking about Zora's words. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

It was true that I had been a bit careless for a while.

"Shall I..." Zora asked tentatively, not daring to speak directly. But I totally understand what she was

insinuating.

I stared at Jaylan on the screen, he was silent for a long time, and then drained his glass in one gulp,

and then said to Zora as if he had made up his mind, "You follow her first and see what she is doing,

who she's meeting, what they're discussing. If she meets anyone she shouldn't...” He paused, playing

with the wineglass in his hand, then coldly spat out, “She should sleep for a while.”

My heart shattered. The pain was bone-deep. I had known he had drugged me, but hearing it

confirmed was like a thunderclap. Tears welled in my eyes.

I held back my emotions, focusing on the screen, afraid to miss any details.

He pointed at Zora, adding, “But remember, the dosage has to be small. She can’t suspect anything,

and she can’t become too weak. She still has her uses. Don’t ruin my plans, Zora. If you dare to act on

your own again, I’ll make sure you pay.”

Zora was angered by Jaylan’s words. She had been carefully choosing her words with Jaylan.

She scoffed, “What? Are you feeling sorry for her now?”

Jaylan lifted his eyelids, coldly staring at Zora, who was leaning against the desk with her arms

crossed. His gaze was chilling, like that of a hawk, filled with malice.
