Loving Mom 250

Chapter 250

Nate, for once, had a rare flash of clarity. “Sharon, just because you say it’s life-saving medicine doesn’t make it so. What if it’s poison? What if it actually hurts Kelly?”

He turned to Sharon, eyes sharp. “Why don’t you try it first? If it’s fine, then Kelly can take it.”

Without a word, Sharon retracted the pill.

A cold laugh slipped from her lips. “What is this, the Middle Ages? We’re still doing poison testing now? This is a society governed by law. Poisoning someone is a crime. Do you really think I’d kill her right in front of you?
