Knowing that Pedro cared about Kathryn, Clarissa reassured him, “Don’t worry, this medicine won’t harm her. It will just make her sleep for a few days. Even when she wakes up, she’ll be weak for a week or two. I would never harm my only daughter.”

Pedro took the packet of powder, slipped it into his pocket, and said to Clarissa, “Madam, I’ve taken the medicine, but I can’t guarantee the young lady will take it.”
