Chapter 207: Why not?
Luna anxiously waited for a reply but instead, the phone vibrated with an incoming call. She answered it right away.
"What are you saying? What do you mean the meds aren’t working anymore?" A deep male voice asked in a perfect German accent.
"Lanni stopped taking those tablets long ago. Their effect must have worn out already. Lanni has started to regain her memory. She might even have remembered things she shouldn’t." Luna couldn’t hide the worry in her voice. "How are things on your side?"
There was the sound of what must be the man pouring something into a glass, probably wine. He took his time and gulped a loud swig then brought his attention back to the almost impatient Luna. "My side isn’t safe." He enunciated every syllable like he was declaring a verdict that would determine the life or death of someone—which he sure was. "Lanni cannot come back here. She will die. The old man hates her to the core and will want to kill her as soon as he sees her. And trust me, she will surely want to come if she recovered her memory."
"You’re not helping." Luna hung up with an eyeroll. So what if Lanni couldn’t go back? Now what? The man only knew to scare her and in the end, she would still be the one to come up with a strategy. There was no use talking to him.
She gripped the phone and sunk into thought. The last time she thought Lanni might recover her memory, she had prevented that from happening by swapping her medicine with almost identical drugs that she had used up all her connections to find. As for how she managed to swap it, she simply had to walk into Li Yuming’s villa when she was not there.
She didn’t have to say a word and everyone assumed that she was Lanni. That was also how she had dropped Lanni warning notes months ago, before she resorted to sending text messages.
As for the drugs, Lanni must have grown resistance to them. Of course she would have. At least five months had passed since she stopped taking them and according to the person who gave them to her, the effect could only last for six months at the very most. Of course, at the very most meant it could be much sooner than six months.
But that was not important. What was bugging her right now was that she couldn’t possibly use the same method.If Lanni were to take more of those tablets, who knew how they would affect her. Besides, she had no prescription so there was nothing for her to swap to begin with.
