Chapter 709
Even some simple over-the-counter medicine for fever could make someone drowsy or sleepy when the medicine
took effect.
Some medicine would also cause some adverse effects.
“That’s not it.” Fia’s voice came from behind the curtain. Sally and Jason quickly pulled the curtain and walked
toward her.
Fia was already sitting up, her face a little pale.
She then said, “When I was on the bridge at River Fane, I don’t know what Britney did, but I smelled a strange
scent. And then, my mind became blurry, and I started to lose strength.
Jason and Sally exchanged a glance.
Sally said, “Sounds like there might be sedatives involved.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFia curiously asked, “Can sedatives be made into fragrances?”
Sally quickly nodded. “Of course! My older brother’s research is in this area. He knows a lot about this.”
Jason quickly said, “Maybe you can give your brother a call and ask him about it?”
“Sure!” Sally took out her phone and called Peter right in front of Fia and Jason.
Peter didn’t hide anything since it was his sister asking about it.
After Sally hung up, she said, “My brother said that it’s probably some kind of sedative. The reason that you didn’t
collapse completely was because of the low dose.”
After she said that, she asked, “Why did Britney do something like that to you?”
Fia looked at Sally. She felt like she had to say something. That person was like a walking mystery. She had no idea
what she wanted to do. There was a need for her to tell them about it so that they could be on their guard.
“Britney is probably not the real Britney Thomas.”
Sally looked at her with wide eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“I think she’s Esme and not Britney,” Fia said in a serious tone.
Sally frowned. “Fia, I’ll book you in for an appointment with a doctor from the psychology department.”
“I’m not sick!” Fia suddenly screamed. “I’m telling the truth!”
“But…”
While even Jason felt that it was outlandish, he still said, “Regardless, something’s wrong with Britney.”
Sally looked at Jason and said, “Britney has always been a good girl.”
“That’s because you didn’t see how she treated Fia today at the police station,” Jason said, and told her about what
Britney did.
Sally was shocked. “How did she become like that? Was Barbara there today?”
Fia replied, “Barbara is away on vacation.”
Jason said, “Britney is an adult. What she did is not something that Barbara can help with.”
“They have always had a good relationship. If Britney did change for any reason, Barbara might be able to get
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthrough to her,” Sally said sincerely.
Fia smiled helplessly and said, “I don’t think anyone can get through to her. That’s because she’s not Britney. She
definitely isn’t.”
Sally then looked at Fia with mixed feelings. “If she isn’t Britney, then where’s the real Britney?”
“I don’t know,” Fia said as her expression darkened. “The real Britney likes your brother, right? And your brother is
Esme’s teacher. If Britney chased after your brother and went overseas, and for Esme, your
brother…”
Sally was taken aback, her eyes began to fill with fear. “Are you saying that for Esme, my brother did something to
Britney…?”
“Sally, I didn’t say that.” Fia suddenly couldn’t bear to imagine what might have happened anymore.
Jason saw through Fia’s worry and consoled Sally. “That’s not what Fia meant. Don’t think too much.”
Sally shook her head. “My brother is a good man. Even if he didn’t like Britney, he would never do something to
harm her.”
