In the bedroom, Cedrick had been waiting for quite some time, yet there was no sign of Gwendolyn coming upstairs with the box of medicine.

The lights were on downstairs, but no reply came.
Puzzled, Cedrick got out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and proceeded downstairs to investigate.
As he descended the staircase, his gaze fell on Gwendolyn right away. She was standing before a cupboard, holding a pack of cigarettes and examining it carefully.
One of the drawers on the cupboard was open, revealing its contents–packs and packs of cigarettes.

Cedrick fell silent as his Adam’s apple bobbed nervously. His eyelashes quivered while his brain churned at lightning speed.
“Penny for your thoughts, Ceddy?” Gwendolyn eyed him intently, a tempest hidden beneath her calm. exterior. Her tone was frigid as she added, “Perhaps you’re thinking of how to concoct a plausible excuse and pull the wool over my eyes?”
With a loud smack, she slapped the cigarette pack onto the coffee table furiously.
At that sudden loud noise, Cedrick instinctively fell to his knees.
