"Oh, my little troublemaker, you can''t go around bumping into things, she murmured, gently cing him back on the cushions.
Her fingers tightened around her phone as she anxiously waited for a response.
Momentster, a message popped up. "Everything regarding your son''s studies in Montara has been arranged. You won''t have to worry about tuition or living expenses. Just do as I say?
Nancy exhaled quietly, a flicker of guilt crossing her face as she nced at Jasper.
"Milk ... drink milk," Jasper mumbled, stretching out his tiny hands, asking for milk.
Nancy quickly stood up to fetch it, seizing the moment to slip a small pill from her pocket. But as she held it, hesitation gripped her, and she remained frozen for a long while.
Just as she was about to drop it in, the butler''s voice echoed from outside. "Are you Ms. Faye? Mrs. Yeager told me to bring you in to y with your brother if you arrived."
"Thank you," Connor said politely, expressing his gratitude to the butler before guiding Faye into the living
room.
Faye hesitated near the doorway, peeking inside at Jasper, who was perched on the sofa.
A hint of unease filled her eyes-she worried that her brother might not ept her. Even more than that, she feared that Kelly and Zev would treat her the way her parents had, casting her aside now that they had another child.
"Come in," Connor urged gently. "Didn''t you want to see Kelly?"
Connor studied Faye with curiosity.
Since Kelly was nowhere to be found, Faye had no choice but to let Connor lead her to the vi where she was staying.
After a brief hesitation, she finally stepped into the living room.
"Kelly called my dad earlier and said something urgent came up this afternoon, so
we came over to look after Jasper," Connor exined to Nancy.
A wave of guilt washed over Nancy-she had fumbled at thest moment, and instead ofnding in the milk, the pill had slipped into the trash.
Nancy quickly shoved the remaining pills back into her pocket. "Alright, alright, you two keep Jasperpany."
Faye''s eyes flickered toward Nancy''s pocket, but she remained silent and simply walked over, crouching down in front of Jasper.
She didn''t speak-just stared at him.

A thought crept into her mind, one she had entertained more times than she could count–if her brother were to fall and never wake up, would Daddy and Mommy finally love her the way they used to?
But he was so little... she just couldn''t bring herself to do it.
Even so, every time she so much as looked at him, Grandma would scold her harshly, ordering her to stay away. She was called a jinx and used of having bad intentions.
If her brother cried, it was her fault.
If he so much as bumped into something, Grandma would say she had hit him on purpose...
"Faye!" Jasper pped his hands excitedly.
Like a little ball of sunshine, he was always smiling-maybe he really had inherited Zev''s shamelessly carefree nature.
Faye reached out and deliberately tried to snatch the toy from Jasper''s hand. His cheerful grin was too bright, too blinding.
Jasper hesitated for a moment, ncing at Faye. Thinking that Faye should like the toy, he happily handed over the rest of them without hesitation.
Faye stared at the toys in her hands, murmuring under her breath, "Why isn''t he crying?"
"Hm?" Connor didn''t quite catch what she said as he busied himself with Jasper, holding a small carton of milk for his little nephew.
"If it were my brother and I took his toy, he''d be crying and running to snitch on me by now," Faye whispered.
Connor nced at Jasper. "He''s such a good kid."
Hearing the praise, Jasper beamed, pping his chubby hands in delight. With great effort, he tugged arge cardboard box over and pushed it toward Faye. "Faye... for you."
Since she liked the toys, he wanted her to have them all.
Faye huffed, turning her head away with a proud tilt. "I don''t want your toys."
With that, Faye sprang to her feet and dashed away.
But just as she reached the doorway, she hesitated, ncing back at Nancy,
Guilt flickered across her face as she kept wiping the table, unsure if Faye had caught her slipping the pill into her pocket earlier.
"I''m starving. Is there anything to eat?" Faye asked.
Nancy smiled and nodded. "Alright, alright, I''ll fetch you something to eat."
As she headed off to prepare the food, Faye leaned close and murmured something to Connor.

Jumping to his feet, he hurried toward the kitchen but stumbled along the way, identally bumping into Nancy.
"Oh, Connor, you nearly knocked me over!" Nancy eximed with a startledugh, the sudden jolt causing cookies and bread to tumble onto the floor.
Connor quickly crouched down to help her gather the fallen treats, using the moment to discreetly slip the medicine from her pocket.
From her spot near the sofa, Faye watched, blinking at Connor.
Connor smirked, lifted an eyebrow, and casually swiped a piece of bread before jogging over to join Faye for a snack.
"Nancy, we will take Jasper to y in the yard."
The two children carefully carried Jasper out to the yard.
Nancy, feeling uneasy, quickly called after them, "Be careful! Don''t let Jasper get hurt."
Once outside, Faye lowered her voice and asked, "Did you see what kind of medicine it was?"
Connor nced around to make sure no one was watching before pulling out the packet. Flipping it over, he read thebel on the back-Diazepam ...
Faye''s eyes widened as she stared at the pills. "I know this medicine! My daddy told me it''s a sedative, something people take when they can''t sleep." She frowned, her voice dropping to a whisper. "That''s so weird... When I walked in earlier, I saw the nanny trying to slip one of these into Jasper''s milk.”
