Chapter 4

Dahlia gave her a cold look, then directly pulled out a bottle of very strong insecticide and sprayed it toward Camilla.

Camilla shouted while running everywhere. “Dahlia, what are you doing?!”

Dahlia continued chasing her while repeatedly spraying the insecticide.

Camilla was forced into a corner with nowhere left to run, so she hurriedly asked Caspian for help. “Uncle, please save me!”

Caspian had only just finished preparing breakfast.

He put down the bowls and dishes, his expression darkening as he unhappily said, “Enough already. Stop making a scene. Come and eat breakfast.”

Camilla quickly ran over to him, tears almost coming out, while her face showed sadness. “Uncle, Dahlia sprayed me with insecticide everywhere. Th-this… how can I still eat now? If she doesn’t like me staying here, she can tell me directly. There’s no need to use such awful methods.”

Caspian stepped aside twice, just enough to block Dahlia and Camilla from facing each other.

He looked up at Dahlia. “Dahlia, do you have anything to say?”

Dahlia set the insecticide down, her expression looking pure. “I saw red marks covering Camilla’s skin. They should be mosquito bites. Husband, you already know I hate those little insects the most. Every time I see them, I can’t stop myself from wanting to kill them.”

As she spoke, she was about to cry, looking like she could break down anytime. “Sorry, I don’t want to become like this either. But I honestly can’t control myself.”

Camilla wanted to continue talking, but Caspian gave her a look.

“Camilla, go back inside, change your clothes, and then come out for breakfast.”

He moved nearer and held Dahlia in his arms, softly calming her down. “Wife, no one’s blaming you. Everything’s okay.”

He picked up the pills from the table drawer. “Wife, take this medicine before you eat breakfast. You lost control of your feelings earlier. It must be because you did not take your medicine this morning.”

Dahlia looked at the medicine but stayed still.

Caspian watched her carefully. “What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?”

“Wife, you need to listen and take your medicine on time. Earlier, I already helped you and made Camilla embarrassed.”

“You need to live peacefully with Camilla. If you continue making problems, it will become troublesome. Wife, you are the Holmes family’s wife. You should understand the situation and stop always giving me trouble.”

Dahlia only smiled and stayed quiet. She reached for the medicine and swallowed it right away.

Only then did Caspian smile happily and pat her head gently.

Yesterday, Dahlia found out by chance that something was wrong with the pills, so she asked her assistant to make another set of tablets with the same color.

Before Caspian came back, she had already switched all the medicine inside the house. The tablets she took earlier were only vitamins.

As for the real pills, they had already been sent to the research institute and were being checked.

Camilla had already changed her clothes and walked out, then returned to the dining table for breakfast.

Camilla and Caspian kept talking, speaking only about small secrets that only they understood.

Camilla placed food onto Caspian’s plate while looking at him with tempting eyes.

Beneath the table, Caspian’s leg had already slid under Camilla’s skirt.

Dahlia only ignored the two people sitting across from her and quietly finished her breakfast.

Caspian noticed how quiet Dahlia looked, and he slightly felt that something was not right.

Before he could think more about it, a call from the company made him leave.

Dahlia faced the other way, warmed a cup of milk for herself, then returned upstairs to her room, fully ignoring Camilla inside the house.

When evening came, her bedroom door was suddenly slammed open with a loud bang.

Caspian stayed by the entrance with an angry face, trying to hold back his rising anger. “Dahlia, I know you have severe depression and cannot control your feelings. But you still should not use my absence to treat Camilla so badly like this!”
