I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

At her age, it was clear that Gramma Sterling would not be having menstrual periods; something was definitely wrong.

Meredith quickly declared, “Take her to the hospital.”

Stella, panicking, fumbled around.

Gramma Sterling was in agony, her stomach pains so severe she felt the urge to use the bathroom.

Meredith instructed the butler to bring the car around, while Stella supported Gramma Sterling to the restroom.

Upon entering the restroom, they discovered, indeed, there was blood, and not a small amount.

Between the bleeding, diarrhea, and vomiting, both Meredith and Stella were terrified.

What could possibly be wrong with Gramma Sterling, or what had she eaten to cause such distress?

After Gramma Sterling finished in the restroom, Meredith drove her to the hospital herself, accompanied by the Ravenwood butler, Mrs. Wooten, and Stella.

On the way to the hospital, Stella called Julian: “Julian, mom’s had an accident; she’s having diarrhea and bleeding. We’re on our way to the hospital now…”

Gramma Sterling, weak, leaned on Stella, while Mrs. Wooten also offered support to keep her seated.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

The group rushed Gramma Sterling into the emergency ward, where the attending physician immediately attended to her.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Blood tests, urine tests, a CT scan…

Meredith stayed by her side, and the emergency results came back quickly, within half an hour.

The doctor asked, “Has the patient eaten anything unusual?”

Meredith recalled, “My grandmother had some powdered milk, some soup…”

She detailed the lunch and any fruits Meredith had mentioned.

“What’s going on, doctor? Why is my grandmother bleeding? I hope it’s nothing serious,” Meredith inquired.

While Gramma Sterling rested in the hospital room, Meredith discussed the findings with the doctor.

The doctor glanced at Meredith’s belly and revealed, “Preliminary tests show traces of abortion drug in her blood. Has she been exposed to such medication?”

Hearing about the abortion drug, Meredith broke into a cold sweat. “That’s impossible, my grandmother is over eighty, how could she be taking such medication? Could there be some mistake? We don’t have such things at home.”

The doctor confidently affirmed, “The tests are correct. This substance can cause severe repercussions if ingested by a pregnant woman, and in others, it may cause bleeding, diarrhea, and vomiting. Given your grandmother’s age, her reaction could be more severe.”

In disbelief, Meredith left the doctor’s office and asked Stella, “Did grandmother eat anything at home?”

“She didn’t eat anything. She mentioned her lack of appetite in the morning, and we rushed here without eating,” Stella replied. “What did the doctor say? Was it something she ate?”

Now on an IV drip, Gramma Sterling lay on the hospital bed, weak but somewhat relieved from the medication.

Meredith was increasingly alarmed. If Gramma Sterling hadn’t eaten anything at Ravenwood, it meant she must have consumed something with the abortive agent at her place.

Who could have administered such a drug, and in which food was it hiding?

Meredith was particularly shaken, knowing she had also consumed some of the same food items.

Pondering over this, she touched her stomach; fortunately, she felt no adverse effects, suggesting she hadn’t ingested the tainted item.

The only difference in their meals was the powdered milk. Justin had delivered it to Gramma Sterling, which she ate, but Meredith did not.

Considering the severity, Meredith left no stone unturned.

She didn’t respond directly to Stella but instructed Mrs. Wooten, “Mrs. Wooten, please bring the powdered milk Gramma had, as well as the soup and fruits we had at lunch, to the hospital for testing.”

“Right away,” Mrs. Wooten agreed, equally anxious, having been a long-time employee of the Sterling family.

After Mrs. Wooten left, Meredith stepped outside to call Terrence Sterling, containing her fear, “Terrence, come to the hospital. Something terrible has happened. Someone is trying to hurt our baby.”
