Chapter 1722: Chapter 1822

I knew Andrew had saved Debra’s life.

Knowing how much she valued friendships, Debra wouldn’t easily fall out with Andrew.

Plus, nothing serious had happened between them last night.

I worried Debra might think I was intentionally against Andrew, and I feared Andrew might play the victim to drive us apart now that we were finally close again.

So, I smiled and explained, “After I went downstairs, Andrew’s car pulled up not long after.

I saw you had fainted in the passenger seat, and I was really worried.

I hurried upstairs with you and didn’t get a chance to talk to Andrew.

”

“I got it…” Debra nodded, deep in thought.

But it made me even more curious.

It seemed like there was more to the story.

This didn’t feel like last time when someone drugged Debra to harm her.

It felt different.

My face turned serious as I took her hand and asked, “What were you doing at Andrew’s manor yesterday? How did you end up getting drugged with something so strong?”

With a pale face, Debra asked nervously, “Is that drug really that strong? How does someone use that kind of drug?”

Seeing the nervous and scared look on her face, I couldn’t resist teasing her.

“Don’t you remember how excited you were last night?”

Her face turned bright red, and Debra shot me a playful glare.

“That’s not what I meant.

”

Feeling good, I decided to stop teasing her.

“Alright.

You don’t have to eat or inhale the drug.

Just a slight touch, and your skin absorbs it.

”

I lifted Debra’s wrist, pointing to the faint red mark.

“See? This is from when you came into contact with the drug.

”

Debra’s POV:

Caleb pointed to my right wrist, and I looked down to see a Light red mark.

I had been unconscious the day before and hadn’t noticed it.

Seeing the red mark, I immediately realized who had drugged me.

Only Caleb and Nora had touched my hand yesterday.

Furthermore, the drug took effect only after I had left the manor.

Therefore, the only possible person could be Nora, the same girl I had rescued from Shirley’s oppressive control.

I felt a swirl of emotions but still found it hard to believe.

Why would Nora betray me like this?

I had not only saved her life but had taken her in.

I trusted her immensely.

I even brought her to Andrew’s manor and entrusted her with Abby’s care.

But she betrayed me.

It was shocking!

The thought of what Nora might do to my daughter terrified me.

I needed to get Abby back by my side immediately.
