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.

Kaylee quickly got up, “I’m meeting a friend for shopping, Mom. Can you give me a ride?”

Liam and Celeste escorted them to the door. Before leaving, Skyler didn’t forget to remind Celeste, “Celeste, remember to take your belongings and don’t forget about what I said.”

He stood behind her, looking thoughtful as he watched her.

When she realized that her miserable state was all because of him, Celeste was too angry to calm down.

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