The moment with Danna reading alongside Jerrold unexpectedly surfaced in Lilah's thoughts.
She pondered whether it was related to Danna.
An idea struck her. What if the mango fragrance was in Danna's perfume?
Or could it be that Danna had passed Jerrold a snack, ensuring no one caught on?
Since Jerrold got here, Absolon and Danna had been spending the most time with him. Lilah pondered over these possibilities.
“Dad, someone probably messed with your clothes," Lilah suggested.
“What?” Karol scoffed. “Lilah, are you delusional? Are you joking? Jerrold is part of our family. Who would harm him?"
“Shut up!" Absolon's sharp retort silenced her.
Karol was left speechless, stunned by Absolon's outburst.
She felt a twinge of jealousy gnawing at her.
Why did Absolon always treat this bitch so nicely but barely noticed her?
"Could you explain further what you meant?" Absolon turned toward Lilah, his eyes meeting hers.
"Dad, can the doctor take a look at your clothes?" Lilah's voice held a gentle tone, tinged with caution.
She was also concerned that Absolon might be upset.
However, Absolon didn't hesitate to agree, saying, "Don't worry. If you have any suspicions about anyone or anything, feel free to investigate. Jerrold has been through a lot, and we need to get to the bottom of this."
Lilah was relieved, and exhaled deeply, feeling grateful toward him.
With a serious expression, the family doctor carefully examined Absolon's clothes, and then shook his head.
Lilah's heart dropped as suspicion settled squarely on Danna's clothes. She worried that the stubborn Danna would refuse their attempts to inspect her clothes.
“Mom, please, can you work with us?" Absolon said just then.
Karol shot up from her seat, her tone tinged with disbelief. “Dad, seriously? How can you even think Grandma did something? She's been with me all day. It doesn't make sense."
"We're not accusing Grandma. We just need to check her clothes."
Lilah replied calmly. "Dad's clothes have been cleared, and only."
“You're just trying to embarrass me!" Danna‘'s voice rose with indignation.
"Mom, it's just a routine check. We're not trying to upset you,"
