Getting My Ex-wife Back

“Ah!” Meroy was taken aback by Sabrina’s call. When she looked up and saw Jenna and Sabrina standing in front of her, she sighed in relief. Immediately, she put away the medicine bottle in her hand and said with a smile, “Young Madam, Miss Sabrina, you are here. Please go in.”

“Meroy, what are you holding in your hand?” Sabrina asked when she saw Meroy hurriedly hiding the thing in her hand. She was curious, therefore she asked with widened eyes.

“Miss Sabrina, it’s nothing.” Meroy smiled and said, “It’s the medicine Old Madam is taking.”

“Oh.” Sabrina nodded and no longer asked any further.

“Meroy, is Grandma’s heart disease better?” Jenna asked with a serious look.

Meroy returned the look. She nodded and solemnly said, “It’s no unusual thing that Old Madam has a heart condition since she is advanced in age but there is nothing serious about it. Young Madam, Miss Sabrina, please don’t worry.”

“Thank you for taking care of her, Meroy,” Jenna replied sincerely with a sigh of relief.

“This is my duty.” Meroy smiled modestly and left after leading them in.

Jenna and Sabrina started their work.

Time passed by quickly. They spent all morning discussing the annual banquet. Butler Maud came to report on his work and various trivial matters. All in all, 24 hours a day was not enough for Jenna.

It was almost noon. Sabrina worked all morning and then she followed the designer to the central island.

Jenna decided on a list of dishes to prepare, then sorted out some reports before going back to Green Jade Garden for lunch.

She looked up and saw Meroy walking in.

“Young Madam, why don’t you eat here? I have already prepared food for you,” Meroy said with a smile.

“Oh, is it?” Jenna didn’t hesitate; she nodded in response.

The dining room of Ink Garden had large windows.

Mouthwatering dishes were served in the dining room and each dish was heated, steaming and hot.

Jenna’s stomach growled.

After her pregnancy symptoms got better, her appetite improved. She always vomited after eating and only started eating again after she finished throwing up. Even so, Jenna insisted on eating something.

“Young Madam, you must be starving. The weather is freezing cold, hurry up and eat,” Meroy stood aside and urged.

“Okay, Meroy, let’s eat together.” Jenna did not hesitate to sit down before inviting her.

Meroy smiled and sat down beside her.

“Meroy, just tell me if you have anything to say; we know each other well.” Soon after eating, Jenna got up and poured two cups of hot tea. She handed one of them to Meroy, and spoke lightly.

“Thank you, Young Madam.” Meroy quickly thanked Jenna after reaching out to take the cup that Jenna had handed over. “Young Madam, you are so smart. I can’t hide anything from you.”

Meroy didn’t expect Jenna to see through her thoughts so quickly. She smiled appreciatively and led her to the lounge inside.

“Meroy, is it related to Grandma’s heart disease?” Jenna stopped smiling and asked as soon as they entered the lounge.

Jenna saw Meroy’s expression in the corridor that morning. Initially, she believed her, thinking that Vivian’s illness would be fine but seeing her specially preparing her lunch, she wondered if there was something she should know, therefore she asked to talk to Meroy in private.

When Meroy heard Jenna’s question, she straightened up. She looked around, then checked that the door was locked before saying in a low voice, “Young Madam, you are right. There’s something weird about Old Madam and her heart disease.”

“I see.” Jenna was instantly worried and said, “Meroy, please tell me quickly.”

“This is a long story.” Meroy sighed and said slowly, “Old Madam’s heart suddenly became uncomfortable in the middle of the night the day before yesterday. She was panting and screaming in pain. Fortunately, I prepared some painkillers in advance. She was okay after taking them. Last night, I dared not be careless. I slept in her room. At midnight, Old Madam felt pain in her chest again. She couldn’t breathe properly and her face turned pale. I woke up from her heavy panting and the movement on the bed. When I got up, I was startled; Old Madam’s hands were spread wide open, her face was pale, and she was very uncomfortable. This is a symptom of a heart attack. I quickly took first-aid measures, did CPR, and gave her painkillers. Only then did her condition stabilize.”

Jenna was frightened when she heard it and asked anxiously, “Meroy, what’s going on with Grandma? If this is the case, we should send her to the hospital.”

“Sigh. When humans get old, it is normal to have heart diseases. At the time, I was also afraid and insisted on sending her to the hospital. But, when Old Madam woke up, she didn’t agree to that, saying that she didn’t want to worry the others. I am just a servant after all, I can’t make any decisions. There is no other way I could think of, hence I listened to her,” Meroy explained thoroughly.

Jenna was silent.

Vivian didn’t want to go to the hospital. She probably knew that she was old and she couldn’t afford to go to the hospital for fear that Richards Manor would be in a mess.

“If Grandma is unwilling to go to the hospital, then she can ask an experienced doctor to come to the manor to take care of her,” Jenna thoughtfully suggested.

“Young Madam, there is something you are unaware of,” Meroy hesitated for a while before she spoke in a firm tone.

“What? Tell me.” Jenna was taken aback and her heart sank. Meroy seemed to be hiding another big news from them, thus she asked seriously.

“Young Madam, Old Madam’s heart disease didn’t happen in just these two days but has been a problem for a long time. It has been well-controlled but it became abnormal these past two days. All of the sudden, she would feel uncomfortable. I find it strange. You know that she takes her medicine every day. There is absolutely no explanation for her serious condition. I found out that the color of the medicine was different when I gave her medicine this morning. When I came out, I learned that the medicine in the medicine bottle had been switched by someone. Only then did I understand why Old Madam was acting this way,” Meroy said painfully, full of fear in her heart. She could not bear the consequences of keeping quiet, therefore she had to tell Jenna.

“What in the world?” Jenna was shocked and stood there, speechless.

This was ridiculous!

Who dared do this?

They dared to harm Vivian; it was terrible.

This was a crime. In fact, Vivian could die. The people in Richards Manor were really unpredictable. Jenna felt goosebumps forming all over her body.

“Do you know who did this?” Jenna asked in surprise.

“I have no clue.” Meroy shook her head, then took out two medicine bottles from her pocket and handed them over to Jenna. She spoke nervously.

“Young Madam, look, these two medicines have been changed.”

Jenna took them and examined them carefully. It was the bottle Meroy was holding when she and Sabrina came over in the morning. Meroy was standing there in a trance. Jenna had figured that something was off since then. However, she just thought that Vivian’s heart disease was getting serious but never did she expect such a conspiracy!

She flipped through the instruction booklet of the medicine bottle. It was an imported medicine. It was all in English. After reading it, she roughly understood that it was the medicine Vivian needed to take. However, she didn’t know much about medicines and just stared at them.

“Young Madam, look, this was originally a white pill but it was replaced with a yellow one. I have been giving these medicines to Old Madam for many years. It is impossible that I’m wrong and I am also a doctor. Surely I would know this.” Meroy took out two different pills, one yellow and one white, and placed them on her palm. The difference was quite big.

Jenna’s face became more gloomy.

At this point, she was not just shocked. What she felt was pure fear and anger.

If someone deliberately switched this, they were committing murder, which was simply terrible!

Her whole body shuddered just thinking about this.

“How many people know about this?” she asked in a low voice after thinking for a while.

“Except for you and I, no one knows yet. For the time being, I am still considering whether to tell Old Madam or not,” Meroy said in a melancholy tone.

“Tell her.” After only thinking about it for a while, Jenna made a decision. “We must tell Grandma. Don’t worry, she has encountered a lot in her life and she is clear-minded. I think she can bear it, she will have a clear judgment. Since some people are planning to harm her, then they won’t stop until they succeed. Let Grandma know about this. Only then, she will be prepared. Maybe she will come up with a plan.”

“Yes, you’re right.” Meroy heard Jenna’s words, which were in line with her own thoughts, and nodded her head hurriedly. “Then please go in with me, Young Madam, and tell Old Madam about this.”

Up till this point, they had no other choice. Perhaps, Vivian had a clue on who did this, therefore Jenna nodded.

The two walked toward Vivian’s bedroom.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

As usual, Vivian sat on the bed with her eyes closed, resting.

“You came!” As soon as Jenna and Meroy walked in, Vivian opened her eyes and said.

Jenna was secretly amazed. Vivian was indeed really clever. She was so alert to her surroundings.

“Grandma, how are you feeling?” Jenna approached and asked softly.

“Jenna, come.” Vivian smiled and stretched out her hand.

Jenna hurriedly took her hand. It was wrinkled and skinny like a bark. Jenna got a little sad and said, “Grandma.”

She called again softly.

“Jenna, don’t worry. I won’t die this early.” Vivian smiled lovingly. The expression on her face was nothing but calm.

“Grandma, let me take you to the hospital,” Jenna leaned closer and said seriously.

“No, Jenna. I’m old and it doesn’t make much sense to go to the hospital.” Vivian smiled and straightened a little with courage radiating out of her. “Besides, my son is still lying there in the hospital. It will only add more trouble if I went too. ”

Jenna’s heart ached as she thought of Trevor and her mother. Tears almost fell from her eyes. She was extremely sad.
