Chapter 707 Drugged With Laxatives.
“Remember, she’s just a guest who has feelings for your dad. Even if she becomes your stepmother and takes my place, you can’t drug people behind their backs!”
“This is not what an honest person would do!” Cherise scolded Soren sternly. It was clear that she was truly angry. What infuriated her was not her son’s attempt to defend her, but rather his decision to drug
Rowena.
He was only five years old! She couldn’t let him think it was acceptable to use any means necessary when dealing with people he didn’t like!
“Mommy…” Soren hung his head in shame, finally realizing his mistake. He pursed his lips, and his soft voice was filled with tears. “I won’t do it again.”
Cherise bit her lip. She felt sympathy when she saw her son’s disappointed expression. She walked over and embraced Soren. “I know you had good intentions, but Soren, there are better ways to protect the people you care about. You can’t recklessly use any means necessary. Do you understand?”
“Yes…” Soren didn’t fully understand, but he nodded. I will never secretly put laxatives in other people’s
water again…”
“Good.” Cherise sighed with relief and reached out to pat Soren’s head, but her hand suddenly froze. “Did you just say… you put… laxatives in that gla*s of water?”
“Yes.” Soren pouted. “Uncle Zach said he needed the laxatives for his constipation, and you brought them back from the hospital for him. Then, Uncle Zach said they were really effective… so I took a few secretly…”
Cherise was completely shocked. What kind of child was she raising? He even stole Zachary’s laxatives?
“Tell me honestly. What else have you taken from Uncle Zach behind my back?”
“A lot…” Soren pursed his lips. He looked up innocently and changed the subject. “Mommy, has that lady started having diarrhea after drinking the water with laxatives? Do you want to… get some anti-diarrhea medicine for her?”
Cherise snapped back to reality after her son’s reminder. Laxatives didn’t work immediately, so Rowena wouldn’t have a reaction right after drinking the water. She glanced at her watch. It was about time for the drug to take effect.
She took a deep breath and let her son leave. Then, she retrieved a pack of anti-diarrhea medicine from the first-aid kit and slipped it into her pocket before entering the guest room.
In the guest room, Rowena was still pretending to be unconscious in her wheelchair.
It was common knowledge that laxatives only affected the digestive system. They caused diarrhea but did not affect the cranial nerves. In other words, no one would faint from taking laxatives. Even if they did, it would only be due to exhaustion after experiencing diarrhea.
Therefore, Cherise knew that Rowena had seen the white particles in the transparent gla*s of water. Rowena had intentionally drunk it and was pretending to be unconscious.
After all, she wanted to gain sympathy and make Damien believe that the people in his house were

manipulative. But she probably didn’t expect… to be drugged with a powerful laxative.
As soon as Cherise entered the room, a loud gurgle echoed through the room.
Ursula furrowed her brow as she wiped away her tears. “What’s that noise?”
“It’s me Cherise quickly interjected. “I didn’t have lunch, and I’m a bit hungry now, so my stomach growled. I hope you don’t mind, Ms. Ursula.”
Upon hearing Cherise’s explanation, Ursula rolled her eyes in annoyance. “All you can think about is food at a time like this!”
