He didn’t use gestures and my heart jolted in shock. I couldn’t let him discover that I had regained my hearing. At least, not now.
I quickly suppressed all my emotions, lowered my head and rubbed my stomach.
Jeremy let out a long sigh of relief. "I thought you could hear me for a moment. That scared me."
He pushed the glass of milk toward me again, his tone pressing but his face feigning concern. "Come on, drink it quickly. Stop wasting time."
Left with no choice, I slowly drank the drugged milk under his watchful eyes. Only when I finished did he leave the bedroom, looking satisfied.
The moment he was gone, I rushed to the bathroom. Desperately, I stuck my fingers down my throat.
After several bouts of retching and tears, I finally managed to vomit up the milk.
I wiped my face, composed myself and returned to bed, pretending to be fast asleep.

Jeremy smirked smugly. "Of course. I doubled the dosage, just to be safe."
They flirted openly beside me for a while before Jeremy impatiently grabbed his keys. "Let’s go, we’ll book a room."
