Because it's two interconnected stories you pretty much already knew what happened with the Apothecary though. As soon as its clear that it still exists today you also know it was never found out. Because of that I didn't feel the anxieties of being found out. But it was a good story and especially if you're dealing with a cheating husband I think you'd really enjoy this story.Moderate: Grief, Murder, Pedophilia, Pregnancy, Blood, Death, Death of parent, Medical content, Miscarriage, Suicidal thoughts, Child death, Infidelity, Suicide attempt, Toxic relationship, Vomit, and Sexual harassment
