Skyler didn’t say anything more, just urged her to drink the medicine first.

Since there was no way to avoid it, Celeste had no choice but to force herself to drink the medicine, holding her breath and chugging it down.

She said sarcastically, “Does Mr. Reed enjoy watching people use the restroom?”
