The milk Tessa Caldwell gave to Nora Harrow indeed contained sleeping pills.
After Nora Harrow fell asleep, she quietly packed a few clothes, took some money and documents, and left home, boarding the after-midnight train to the neighboring Q City.
Sitting on the train, her gaze kept wandering around, feeling like everything was bound to be noticed by Faye. Without a doubt, Faye had someone watching her, and any moment now, he would have someone take her back.
Yet all her journey was calm and smooth.
But Tessa was even more anxious; even after getting off the train and arriving in Q City, she remained on edge, fearing Faye might suddenly appear or his men might come out of nowhere and take her back.
But a day had passed, the wedding was over, and neither Faye nor his people had shown up.
She wondered if Faye hadn't found her or had completely given up on her. Either way, it meant she was free for the time being.
There was no joy, nor any guilt.
