Chapter 11

Elise didn't see the missed calls until the next morning. She'd been up until late studying the files the night before and had fallen asleep face-down on the coffee table. Besides the missed calls, there were messages from Wanda. "Mrs. Holt, I went to Centrux Hospital yesterday to deliver food and found out Mr. Lucas has been vomiting and can't eat much. I cooked according to your recipe, but he barely touched it. He kept demanding the superhero meal. How do I make that?" Elise typed with her left hand. "That needs carving. There's no need to trouble yourself. Just cook the usual dishes but avoid the ingredients he hates. I've put a note on the fridge." Wanda replied quickly. She was holding her phone, waiting for Elise's reply, because someone was watching her with a tense expression beside her. "But Mr. Lucas keeps vomiting…" Elise replied, "He'll get used to it. It's not a stomach problem. He's just making trouble because he's not getting what he wants. Don't worry about it.
