The Silent Wife

Chapter 48
As Rachel retrieved the envelope from Jefferey’s hands, she noticed that it was thin and virtually weightless
Can I look at it? she asked, looking curiously at him.
It was strange that he was handing her something that even Amber hadn’t seen before.
Yet, he nodded his head in the affirmative. “You’re my daughter. Whatever belongs to the Hudson Family also belongs to you. Why wouldn’t you be able to open it?”
With that, Rachel carefully opened the envelope in front of him and pulled out a yellowing piece of paper with delicate rows of writing in between red lines.
Valerian, passionflower, hops…
There was nothing special about this piece of paper. Wasn’t it simply the formula for the Hudson Pharmaceutical’s sleeping pills? The ingredients listed on the paper were exactly the same as those listed on their medicine boxes.
Perhaps that was the only strange thing-the contents were exactly the same, with no listed dosages on this piece of paper.
As Rachel was pondering the matter, Jefferey spoke urgently, “Well, Rae, do you remember anything?”
She shook her head.
Of course she didn’t remember anything. She had been lying to him from the get-go.
“Look at it carefully.” He seemed a bit impatient. “Didn’t you say your mother had you memorize the medicine’s dosages? Try to remember it.”
Upon hearing his words, she finally understood what he meant.
It was obvious that Jefferey had a list of ingredients but none of the required dosages.
Yet, the sleeping pills were Hudson Pharmaceuticals’ top-selling product. Its production had never stopped all these years. How did they manage to produce it if he didn’t have the precise dosages?
All of a sudden, Rachel’s heart sank.
Dad, how did my mom die? she asked.
The sudden question caused his expression to stiffen. “I thought I told you she died in a car accident. Why? Did your grandmother say something?”
