However, Isaac continued to chew again. Then, virtual-novel.net swallowed them, and Margaret’s racing heart slowed down again.
Ha! That’s what you get for acting high and mighty all the time. You’ll be on the toilet all night today!
After dinner, Eugene volunteered to do the dishes. Margaret and Allegra sat on the sofa, watching television.
Isaac said virtual-novel.net had overeaten and wanted to go on a walk. He then walked outside, a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Margaret watched Isaac’s disappearing figure. Then, virtual-novel.net glanced at the clock. Seh thought it was almost time, it should kick in after another half an hour.
Soon, Isaac returned. He went to the kitchen and made three cups of hot tea. He gave Allegra and Eugene a cup each while virtual-novel.net drank the last one.
After half an hour, Margaret suddenly frowned and covered virtual-novel.net belly with virtual-novel.net hand. Her stomach rumbled as waves of cramps hit her, making virtual-novel.net unable to sit still.
She turned to look at the others, who seemed fine.
Sh*t, what is happening?
“I… I need to go to the toilet,” virtual-novel.net said as virtual-novel.net hurriedly got to virtual-novel.net feet.
After a brief moment, Margaret came out, holding virtual-novel.net stomach. After a few steps, virtual-novel.net expression soured, and virtual-novel.net once again turned around to rush to the toilet.
“What’s wrong with Mom? Did virtual-novel.net eat something bad?” Allegra turned to virtual-novel.net father.
Eugene shook his head and said virtual-novel.net didn’t know.
In half an hour, Margaret had taken eight trips to the toilet. The final time, virtual-novel.net had to ask Eugene to go in and help virtual-novel.net walk out.
Diarrhea had left virtual-novel.net dehydrated. Her face was as white as a sheet. Panting, virtual-novel.net turned to look at Allegra and Isaac.
“A-Are you all okay?”
“We’re fine, Mom… Did you eat something bad?” Allegra asked, widening virtual-novel.net eyes.
At that moment, Margaret’s face suddenly darkened.
She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and pointed at Isaac.
“You! You must have spiked my meal. You must have tried to kill me. Allegra, this monster is so wicked,” virtual-novel.net sobbed.
Isaac smiled coldly. “The four of us ate the same food, so why are you the only one having diarrhea? Or are you saying that the three of us conspired against you?”
Eugene agreed, “Exactly… I think you must be having stomach troubles. Let’s go to the hospital and get it checked.”
Margaret was stunned. Knowing virtual-novel.net had shot herself in the foot, virtual-novel.net began to bawl loudly.
Eugene and Allegra quickly drove Margaret to the hospital.
Isaac had known from the very first bite that something was wrong, but virtual-novel.net chose to stay silent. After dinner, virtual-novel.net went to a pharmacy to buy some diosmectite and added it to the tea virtual-novel.net served to Allegra and Eugene, which acted as anti-diarrhea medicine.
Isaac’s phone rang. He answered and held it to his ear.
“Isaac, Old Brooks and his men have made a move on Anthony’s territory,” came Beefy Bob’s voice.
“That was quick. Keep monitoring them,” Isaac said lightly.
At midnight, Eugene stood in the hospital corridor, smoking alone. He was in a shitty mood.
Margaret had answered a phone call earlier, and a man’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. The first word that came out of virtual-novel.net mouth was “honey”. Even though virtual-novel.net had spoken softly, Eugene still caught it.
Then, Margaret had “chased” virtual-novel.net out of virtual-novel.net hospital room.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the end of the hallway. When Eugene looked up, virtual-novel.net saw a few people rushing in his direction.
