Chapter 86: Two Women, One Man

Lily knew at that moment that she had already made a huge mistake by trying to make this woman angry. She knew how the nurse reacted to anything that pissed her off, so for that, she stayed silent and did not try to provoke the woman anymore as she hissed.

“You are so foolish and yet so dumb. I can never expect someone like you to actually act the way you did. Look at you, yelling at me. Do you think I sold you fake drugs? Or do you want to feed it to your Beatrice and see her lose all her memory? If you are ready to do that, then no problem. I will feed you another free dose to give to her. Then if it works, you are to refund me everything. All the damages and all the yelling you came to do at my shop did not sit well with me,” the nurse said, her tone sharp. 

Lily looked down, her body slowly coming down from all her anger. “I am so sorry that I said something like that. I'm so sorry that I yelled at you like that. It's just that I don't know what to do. This girl literally remembers everything. I have proof showing that she remembered everything. The medicine did not work on her,” Lily explained to the nurse, who laughed.

“It is not that the medicine did not work on her. Did she get to eat the medicine? Or is she just lying to you that she ate it?” the nurse questioned.

Lily tried to think clearly. All those things that happened could never be an act. “She cannot act to that extent. She cannot even act that way. It made no sense that she would act about the poison when she did not even see her poisoning her food. That aside, there was no proof that anyone even saw her put the poison in. So how would Isabella have seen her? And if Isabella had seen her, of course, she would have already told Alex about it. And Alex would have angrily confronted Lily. I am sure that she took the poison. I am more than sure that she fed herself with the food that I poured the medicine into. 

As the nurse laughed, she said, “Then the truth remains the same. She has forgotten everything. But she was told what to say. She was told how to react. And that is why it seems as if the medicine did not work. It worked perfectly. So rest assured that she does not remember anything, and she can never remember anything. Everything is just the way it is supposed to be. So you don’t worry yourself anymore.”

“Do not start to assure me,” Lily snapped as the nurse went back into her main shop and brought out a vial, handing it to Lily, who looked at it with confusion. “What am I to use this for?” she asked.

“You don’t need to ask me all that. You will find out for yourself. Nobody will tell you. When you realize that you are to feed her this medicine, you are to feed her this medicine, and even if she has any glimpse of remembering anything, she would forget instantly. She is not meant to remember anything, and I need it to stay that way. I don’t sell fake drugs, and I don't sell fake herbs either. So I want you to give her these drugs, and it would be confirmed that she does not have any memories of anything that happened,” the nurse explained.

Lily nodded instantly and collected the vial, turning to Beatrice, who was not wearing a confident smile. “I told you that the woman looks trustworthy. She did give us the real herbs,” Beatrice immediately muttered to Lily.

As they rushed toward the car, Lily stopped abruptly and turned around angrily to stare at Beatrice. “You don’t know what you’re saying. Do you really think I believe this woman? I don’t believe her, okay? I don’t believe anything she said. I’m just trying to act okay so she won’t think there’s something going on or I have something planned. I don’t believe her, and it will stay that way. I just want to make sure that Isabella doesn’t remember anything. I don’t even care what happens. I don’t care what she does. Isabella must not remember anything. That is just my rule, and I want you to keep it that way no matter what,” Lily snapped at Beatrice as she entered the car and immediately started it.

Meanwhile, Beatrice was just hoping and praying deep inside that Isabella did not remember anything. Or else, Beatrice knew she would bear the pain of anything that came for her. Anything that is done to her, she would just have to endure it and understand because she wouldn’t have another choice. That was her only option. 

As she watched Lily speed off, she knew that Lily was already cooking up another plan. She just hoped whatever Lily was concocting would not make her get caught. Because if Lily was caught, then there was no way Beatrice would escape it, as she was also Lily's accomplice at this moment due to the fact that Rachel had now ended everything with Lily. From the looks of it, this meant Beatrice would still be the only one held as Lily’s accomplice. 

Not even knowing where Lily was going, she just hoped that Isabella had really forgotten everything. Or else hell wouldn’t be able to hold the grudge and war between the both of them, all this just because of a man who could easily pick another woman over them and wouldn’t even hesitate to slam it in their faces that they were never his choice. Beatrice thought to herself as she continued to watch lily in her misery.
