Chapter 45

• Chloe woke up with a lingering sense of anxiety, a feeling that she had grown accustomed to over the past few days. Her mind was preoccupied with the ongoing trial of Emily, who had been remanded in house arrest for attempting to poison her. As she walked to Janet's garden, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her.
• Janet was overjoyed to see Chloe and welcomed her with open arms. "My dear, how I have missed you!" she exclaimed as she hugged her tightly. Chloe smiled and reciprocated the hug. "I've missed you too, Janet," she replied.
• Janet asked Chloe how she could be of service, but Chloe told her that she was her friend now, and she didn't need to act like her servant. Janet was surprised but pleased to hear this, and she smiled warmly at Chloe.
