But because he was sleeping, he wasn’t aggressive at all.
He was frowning. Perhaps he had a bad dream.
Sandra’s heart softened.
She gently placed her hand on his furrowed brow.
Wesley stopped frowning at once.
It was silent in the car.
Drowsiness slowly overpowered Sandra.
It was the first time she had slept soundly since coming down from the mountain.
By the time she woke up, they were already back at the villa.
Wesley was reading a book while she lay on the small bed.
Karen knocked on the door and came in with a bowl of soup.
“Mrs. Cooper, this is for you.”
With that, she placed the soup next to Sandra.
Sandra hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, and now she was really hungry.
She picked up the soup and sniffed it, but immediately frowned.
Karen urged,
“Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Cooper asked the kitchen to prepare this especially for you.”
Wesley paused, turning the page.
But then he thought of something and continued reading.
Sandra, holding the soup, suddenly smiled.
Karen, who had just been slapped by her in the morning, had a bad feeling.
Sandra sighed.
“Karen, you were just too worried about Mr. Cooper this morning. I shouldn’t have slapped you.”
Karen was surprised by her apology and felt a bit flattered.
“Mrs… Mrs. Cooper, I…”
“Consider this soup as my apology.”
Sandra interrupted and handed the soup to her.
Karen immediately stepped back and waved her hand.
“Mrs. Cooper, you are too kind. It was my fault this morning, so it was appropriate for you to slap me. You don’t need to apologize to me.”
Sandra frowned. “I sincerely apologize to you. If you don’t take the soup, does it mean you don’t forgive me?” Her voice was not loud, but it was bone-chillingly cold.
Karen’s heart trembled, and she quickly took the soup.
Sandra grinned.
“Come on.”
Karen’s face turned pale. She even trembled.
“Mrs… Mrs. Cooper, I…”
“What?” Sandra stared at her.
Her smiling face sent a chill down Karen’s spine. Without further hesitation, Karen guzzled down the soup. Then she quickly left.
Wesley put down the book and asked, “Is there something wrong with the soup?”
Sandra didn’t answer directly.
“This place is dangerous.”
Wesley remained silent.
Just then, Leo knocked on the door.
“Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cooper, Karen went to the bathroom to vomit,” he whispered.
Wesley wasn’t surprised at all, as if he had already anticipated it.
However, when he looked at Sandra, there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes. “Poison?” Wesley asked.
Sandra looked at him teasingly.
“Not exactly. If I have it, I’ll just vomit, have diarrhea, and feel weak.”
After a pause, she burst out laughing.
“But if you have it, it might kill you directly.”
Leo and Wesley exchanged glances.
It was so close.
Those people had plotted against Wesley before, leaving him unconscious for three years.
Now they had come again.
“I’ll send her to the police,” Leo said.
Sandra didn’t stop him but reminded him.
“This soup can’t test positive for poison.”
Leo fell into silence. Then, they didn’t have to bother calling the police.
Wesley’s face turned cold, and a chill emanated from his body.
Leo immediately said, “I’ll go and investigate who Karen is working for.”
Wesley didn’t say a word.
Leo naturally wouldn’t alert the enemy.
After all, they already knew that Karen was a traitor. If they drove her away, the enemy would send another spy, which would make things worse.
Sandra smiled.
The Cooper family was more interesting than the Hill family.
She wouldn’t be bored this year.
After Leo left, she got up and walked to the desk, extending her hand.
Wesley frowned. “What are you doing?”
“Checking your pulse,” Sandra said naturally, then couldn’t help but taunt.
“Let me check if your condition got worse after your visit to the Cooper Mansion.”
Wesley gritted his teeth.
Sandra rested her fingers on his wrist and felt his pulse. “Don’t be angry. It’s bad for your body.”
Wesley became even angrier.
Sandra suddenly frowned, her face turning gloomy.
Yesterday she had indeed saved Wesley, but she had only woken him up.
But now…
His organs were damaged to varying degrees.
Of course, this was because he had been injected with various drugs that he couldn’t quickly metabolize.
However, it would cause Wesley suffering in the future.
“Your future will be exciting,” Sandra teased, but her words carried a hint of concern.
Wesley’s mouth twitched.
Exciting?
What did she mean?
Suddenly, Leo returned.
“Mr. Cooper, Mr. Kyle Hill sent someone to pick up Mrs. Cooper.”
Kyle had already gone to the Cooper Mansion before. Why was he so persistent?
Wesley turned his indifferent gaze toward Sandra again.
There must be hidden reasons.
Sandra, however, remained indifferent.
“Leo, won’t you call the police to report a home invasion?”
Leo was surprised by Sandra’s heartlessness toward her brother.
Wesley ordered, “Leo, do as she says.”
Leo could only comply and leave.
Sandra ate two apples as if nothing had happened.
She felt a bit tired.
Then she laid down on the bed to rest.
After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Wesley. “You’d better get some sleep. You probably won’t have time to rest tonight.”
How could Wesley believe that?
