The next morning,I received a call from my assistant.
"Mrs.Lewis,the two boxes of medicine you asked me to send for testing have results.The one for internal use is a blood-damaging medicine.The doctor said that taking it during menstruation or postpartum can cause heavy bleeding."
As I expected,that bitch Wendy didn’t just want to steal my husband,my money and my child—she wanted my life too.
"What about the other one?"I asked.
"There are large amounts of penicillin in it."
I understood immediately.
The people close to me—including Wendy—knew I was allergic to penicillin.
If I had followed Wendy’s advice and applied that stuff,I could’ve ended up with swelling and ulceration in my lower body at best…or gone into shock and died at worst.
Wendy had a vicious heart.
Well,I wouldn’t hesitate to repay her in kind.
I planned to personally deal with that shameless couple in the ten days I had left before my confinement ended.
The nanny taking care of my child,a woman in her early forties named Jane,was a single mother.
Her ex-husband had borrowed a significant amount of high-interest loans in her name and after their divorce,the creditors came knocking,often surrounding her former company.Left with no choice,she switched careers to become a caregiver.All the money she earned through hard work each month went toward paying off the gambling debts.
"Mrs.Orgeta,may I ask why you kept me here alone?"Jane asked.
I handed a mini camera to Jane and got straight to the point."I want to make a deal with you.Help me collect evidence of Zack and Wendy's affair.Once it's done,I'll pay off your debts."
The dirty secrets of the new dad club on the top floor weren't a secret in the maternity center.
Wendy was a shrewd woman,charging high maternity fees to expectant mothers while enticing their husbands to seek pleasure on the top floor.All the expenses were added to our care fees,so no one suspected anything.
Jane had once witnessed Zack and Wendy's affair.She caught them in the parking lot late at night,engaging in a car sex act—showing no regard for me,even though I was enduring postnatal pain while in confinement.
Since it was a guest's private matter,Jane,though pitiful,had never tried to intervene.
"Once the job is done,I can help you find a high-paying job.I know you used to be an accountant and you don't need to be working as a caregiver in a place like this,"I said,taking out a thick stack of cash from my drawer.
"Here's a fifteen-thousand-dollar deposit.Once you get the evidence,I'll give you another thirty thousand."
The thirty thousand was exactly what Jane owed,including both the principal and interest on the high-interest loan.
"Don't worry,I'll make sure everything goes smoothly,"Jane said with confidence.She had long since looked down on Wendy's behavior and with such a high reward,she immediately decided to help me get revenge on the adulterous pair.
Jane was efficient and managed to successfully install the mini camera in the VIP room where Zack and Wendy often sneaked around before evening.
At nine o'clock that night,Zack arrived at the maternity center as usual.
The room I had booked was a luxurious three-bedroom suite and Zack made an excuse that I hadn't fully recovered after giving birth,so he slept in the adjacent guest room.
After taking a shower,he came to check on the baby first,then brought a glass of milk to me.
"The doctor said drinking milk before bed helps with sleep,"Zack said gently as he helped me fix my long hair,kissed my cheek and even carefully massaged my lower back.
I remained calm and composed."I heard from the maternity nurse that the baby had a rash today.Did you check on it?"
"Really?I'll go take a look later.You should drink your milk and rest first."
Without hesitation,I drank the entire glass of milk right in front of him."Go ahead."
"Alright."
As soon as he left,I rushed to the bathroom,stuck my fingers down my throat and vomited up the milk I had just drunk.I collected it in a cup and immediately sent a message to Jane,asking her to take it to the hospital for testing.
Unsurprisingly,the test results showed that the milk contained a large amount of sleeping pills.
