Both Fiona and Andrew heaved an internal sigh of relief when they heard their daughter was not kidnapped.
Still, they were furious, knowing that they could not escape the inevitable.
It was all Fane’s fault. Never mind that he did not like Sharon; he actually used crotons to swindle her and told her it was some slimming medicine. The poor girl was suffering from diarrhea, still.
“I’ll take my leave now, Sir.”
Luca gave a fist-and-palm salute before he swiftly left the scene. He knew Fane was a bodyguard and surmised he was a skilled fighter, so he went around finding other good fighters to recruit. Only then did he leave for the Drake family’s place of residence.
Joan internally sighed.
She had pretty much anticipated everything Fiona and the others had done.
However, she did not stand up for the sake of her son. She knew it was useless, even if she explained everything on his behalf.
Besides, she had the utmost faith that her son would not be so stupid as to feed Sharon crotons. Her son was not someone like that; he would not prank someone even if he did not like them.
“Oh, much better!”
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Sharon finally emerged from the toilet, cold sweat rolling down her forehead.
“Dear, how are you? Are you okay?”
Her parents immediately asked when they saw her come out, worry etched onto their expressions.
“I’m fine. I’m in good spirits, actually. I just sh*t a lot!”
Sure, Fane had some knowledge on how to treat bones after being on the battlefield for so many years as a military man, and he managed to heal Andrew’s leg. Nonetheless, that did not mean he was qualified to help Sharon lose weight.
Furthermore, healing a leg and losing weight were two completely different issues.
“That’s right! Fane definitely gave slimming pills. Mr. George, there’s a misunderstanding. Please let us go!” Xena reacted first as she cried out immediately.
All she wanted was to leave this place, and she would leave Middle Province at once. She would flourish wherever she went. Even if the head of the George family realized something was amiss afterward, it would be too late by then.
“I can’t let them go. I can’t verify if your body will have complications later! You were in the toilet for a long time just now. You must have eaten crotons. Look at you! You look so gaunt. I think you’ve gotten a little thinner!”
The head of the George family observed his daughter and noticed she had looked a bit thinner. His heart clenched at the sight.
