Chapter 174 - 173 The Medicine Box is Missing (5)
Ling Chuxia remembered that the medicine box had been kicked under the sofa. She walked closer to the sofa, squatted down directly, slightly lowered her head, and glanced under the sofa but didn’t see the medicine box!
Ling Chuxia’s eyebrows knitted tightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Why couldn’t she see the medicine box? It was clearly under this sofa!
Ling Chuxia looked under the other sofas in the room but did not find any trace of the medicine box. The medicine box was here; it couldn’t possibly have vanished into thin air. Could someone have picked it up?
In this house, besides her, only Shi Che and Sister Hua were left. If Sister Hua had picked it up, that might be fine, but if Shi Che had picked it up...
Ling Chuxia’s dark pupils suddenly constricted, and a hint of tension slowly spread in her eyes. She abruptly stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Sister Hua was warming up breakfast. Seeing Ling Chuxia approaching quickly, she thought Chuxia was hungry and quickly said, "Young Madam, just one more minute and breakfast will be ready."
Ling Chuxia didn’t bother to reply to Sister Hua. She took a step forward, and her voice, though restrained, still carried a slightly tense tone, "Sister Hua, the medicine box under the sofa—have you seen it?"
Ling Chuxia’s sudden question surprised Sister Hua. She frowned in confusion, "What medicine box?"
Seeing Sister Hua’s expression, Chuxia already felt uneasy. She swallowed hard and slowly opened her mouth, clarifying word by word, "It’s a box of vitamins. I accidentally dropped it under the sofa yesterday. Have you seen it?"
Confusion deepened in Sister Hua’s eyes. She thought for a moment then shook her head, replying, "I didn’t notice it."
