Loving Mom 249

Chapter 249

Sharon had even called Wendy over to help.

The moment Wendy found out that Sharon was making the “life-saving medicine” for Kelly, her interest piqued immediately. With a gleeful lack of decency, she boiled the herbs using her footbath water, and even spat into the mixture a few times for good measure.

Matty, not to be outdone, somehow got his hands on rat droppings and added them to the pot.

Sharon tossed in a few cockroaches, ground everything into powder, and shaped it into pills.

The herbs themselves were nothing special-common enough that they couldn’t cure a disease, but harmless enough not to kill anyone either.

Then, as if remembering something, Sharon changed the subject. “But Mr. Malcolm has already prepared the first round of medication. We can give it to Kelly now.”

She glanced at Nate and Carter. “I need to head to the clinic later. Want to come with me?”

Nate had just been thinking how perfect it would be to share the good news of Sharon and Carter’s impending divorce with Kelly. So he agreed without hesitation.

Carter considered it for a few seconds, then gave a slight nod.

At the clinic, Kelly listlessly sorted through the shelves of medicinal herbs, her gaze drifting repeatedly to the door, a quiet tension in her posture. Her eyes held a nervous eagerness.
