GoodNovelChapter 266 Chapter 266 A moan escapedbefore I could stop it.
I didn't look up. I couldn't bear to see the satisfaction that would undoubtedly be spread across his face.
I tore through the rest like I hadn't eaten in days-which, technically I hadn't. Not properly. Not since I found out I was pregnant.
Then I grabbed the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a long, greedy gulp.
The tea was ice-cold perfection. The lavender hit first. It was soft and floral. And then the honey, rich and smooth. It slid down my throat and cooled my insides like spring rain.
My senses were reeling. The pain in my head dulled. The ache in my limbs eased just a little.

For a moment, the world felt still and even safer. The roaring hunger insidequieted. I leaned back, letting the soft hum of the drink settle in my veins.
But then- A strange warmth began to spread beneath my skin. It wasn't comfort or relief.
It was something else.
My stomach lurched in a way that madeblink twice. My throat felt too dry, and my head suddenly light.
I frowned.
I guess that's what I get for eating too fast like I stole the food. Besides, I hadn't eaten like that in days. My body wasn't used to food.
But the dizziness didn't go away. It worsened.
The room began to shift subtly. The edges of the table blurred.
Kester was still standing a few feet away, arms crossed over his chest with an unreadable expression.
"Something wrong, baby?" he asked ever so calmly.
"Uh... No. I guess I ate too fast." I replied, brushing it off and moving on to the question I've wanted to ask him for sdays now. I sincerely needed to hear what he had to say about what Melissa had told me. Maybe it would heal up swounds he had unknowingly carved in my heart.
"Kester..." I called, swallowing the strange taste rising in my throat. What happened to your therapist?" He didn't flinch.
Eleven years ago, tontinued in a shaky voice, "Did you threaten her to leave the country?" He tilted his head. There was no flicker of guilt or hesitation in his eyes. Just pure honesty.

"She left, didn't she?' 1 whispered, almost letting out a smile and a sigh of relief.
"No," he said in a low, cold, detached voice. "I killed her." Tstopped.
I stared at him, waiting for the rest of the sentence. Waiting for the hugh and then the "just kidding" that would follow.
I waited for the denial. But it never came.
"Kester..." I choked out. "You... You what?" I asked, but he didn't respond. He just stood with his arms still folded, his eyes dead. But before I could speak further, the world tilted violently.
My knees buckled, and I stumbled backward. My spine hit the edge of the mattress, and I collapsed onto the bed like a puppet with its strings sliced clean through.
"What I tried to sit up, but my arms wouldn't obey. "What did you don' whispered barely able to form the words. His face appeared above me, "Don't fight it, baby. It's tto take you home." And then, it all went blank.
