After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 623

“Natalie, just tell me what happens when someone takes that drug. Is Ethan going to be okay? It’s not going to... kill him, right?” Sophia’s voice shook as panic took over. The idea that she could accidentally kill her own brother was too much. She felt the blood drain from her face.

At this point, Natalie stopped pretending. “It’s an aphrodisiac. It messes with people’s heads, makes them lose control.”

Sophia’s eyes widened. “Wait, you mean... that kind of drug?” Her voice climbed. “Natalie, why didn’t you tell me exactly what it was? You said it would just embarrass Isabella, not... kill anyone!”

Natalie sounded so casual. “If Isabella had taken it, she would have completely lost it and thrown herself at any guy nearby. That would be humiliating enough, right? Reporters would have snapped photos, she’d be all over the news, and her reputation would be ruined. I didn’t tell you every detail because I figured you’d chicken out if you knew what it really did.”

Sophia’s mind spun. “Natalie, you’ve set me up. What if Ethan ends up with Isabella because of this? Instead of splitting them apart, we might have pushed them closer.”

Natalie didn’t seem fazed. “Just take Ethan to the hospital as soon as you can. Tell me which one so I can meet you there. But don’t tell anyone else about what happened. If your family finds out you tried to drug someone, your mom will kill you.”

She was trying to scare Sophia into silence.

Natalie kept going. “When anyone asks, just insist there was something wrong with the drinks at Isabella’s shop. Say someone must have slipped something into the coffee.”

Sophia hesitated. “Will that even work? Would anyone really believe it? Isabella’s café just opened. She’d never risk her business like that.”
