But those two were the people I trusted the most.

The more I thought about it, the heavier my heart felt.

“Stop worrying about it.

If you keep frowning, you’ll get wrinkles,”

Caleb said as he touched the space between my eyebrows.

He must have noticed I was upset.

His words amused me.

I moved his hand away and nodded.

“I see.

Despite saying that and trying to divert my thoughts, I couldn’t shake off the suspicion once it crept into my mind.

The more I tried to push it aside, the more Andrew’s and Nora’s faces appeared in my thoughts.

I recalled spending time with Nora in Abby’s room at the manor yesterday, not touching anything unusual.

Because I wanted to return to Caleb before nightfall, I skipped dinner at the manor.

The only thing I had was the water from Andrew’s car.

I remembered getting into the car and vividly recalled that the water bottle cap was tightly sealed.

It took effort to break the plastic lid’s seal and open it.

But if it wasn’t the water bottle, how was I drugged?

Could something else in Andrew’s car have carried the drug, and I absorbed it through breathing?

When that thought crossed my mind, Caleb patted my head softly.

I was caught off guard and glanced at Caleb with dissatisfaction.

“What’s on your mind now?” Caleb asked, giving me a stern look.

After a moment of consideration, I asked earnestly, “Did you see Andrew yesterday? How is he? Was he drugged too?”

Caleb’s POV:

I felt really worried and scared when I found out Debra had been drugged again.

We still hadn’t figured out who did it.

Debra must have been so scared, with our enemies hiding in the shadows while we were out in the open.

I didn’t want Debra to keep dwelling on those things or living in fear all the time.

But she didn’t seem to get what I was saying.

She was still stuck on those thoughts.

As I was about to calm her down, she suddenly asked me, “Did you see Andrew yesterday? How was he? Was he drugged too, like me?”

Hearing this, I almost said out loud that Andrew drugged her.

How could he drug himself?

But then I remembered how worried and scared I was yesterday when I couldn’t replace her last night, and how angry I felt when she was almost taken advantage of by another man.

My fists clenched in frustration.
