Belle immediately asked, "The diffuser was sent together with the sachet? Why didn't I see you using it before?""There wasn't a need to before.""There's a need now, though?""Yes.""Why?"Grayson didn't answer her. Instead, he placed the reed diffuser back onto the bedside table.Looking at the clock on the wall, Grayson furrowed his eyebrows. "It's already 6:00 pm?"Belle nodded. "What do you think? Meredith said you've been sleeping for the entire day and that she couldn't even wake you up. What kind of sedative is this? It wouldn't happen to be poison, would it?"Grayson glared at her and sat up. He wanted to go to the bathroom but could barely stand on his two feet. His heart was palpitating, and he felt dizzy. Belle quickly held him up when she saw that. "I think you're sick. You should call the miracle doctor and ask. There's no way a healthy person would wake up in this state," she said.Belle was well aware of his current condition. She just wanted to urge Grayson
Soon, Simon drove over. When he saw Belle, he quickly asked, "Are you okay, Ms. Walters? What happened?"Belle replied, "I'm fine. Nothing happened to me. It's Grayson.""Grayson? What happened to him?"Belle replied, "He got poisoned."Simon widened his eyes. "Poisoned? Is it serious?"Belle answered, "It's serious. However, it's not fatal."Simon's brows were knitted tightly. "Who poisoned him? Besides, he's such a careful person. Why would he get poisoned?"Belle said, "The scented sachet he uses contains deadly poison."Simon's eyes widened. "What did you say?"Belle didn't answer him.She didn't hide it from Simon. He was there when she saved Patrick. Simon already knew about her skills.Furthermore, Simon was compassionate. He regarded Grayson as his brother. He would keep this issue entirely confidential, sharing it with no one.Simon remained in a state of disbelief. "How is this possible? Grandma had examined the scented sachet previously. She would have unquesti
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Grayson was still lying in bed. When he saw Belle leading Simon inside, he was quite surprised. "Why did he come here?"Belle replied, "I asked him to come. I'm scared you'll die. You're so sick."Grayson pursed his lips. "You'll be happy if I die!"Belle replied, "What for? How am I going to get a divorce if you die? Even if you die, you can't die now."Pursing his lips, Grayson glared at her. "I'm fine," he told Simon.Simon looked serious. "Let me examine you.."Approximately ten minutes later, Simon followed Belle's instructions and remarked, "It doesn't seem to be a severe issue, but you should still consider taking some medication."Grayson shook his head. "No need. Dr. Cahill said that there's no need to take any medication."Belle rolled her eyes. She had a hunch that he might have been infatuated with the doctor, likely charmed by her beauty.Belle shot Simon a glance. Simon then began, "I'll give you some health supplements.
"M-Ms. Walters, what are you doing?" Simon asked with his eyes widened.However, Belle did not respond. She picked up Grayson's phone, grabbed his hand, and then used his fingerprint to unlock it.After that, she scrolled through his contacts. Belle soon found a contact saved as "Dr. Cahill"."The doctor who treated Grayson. It's Dr. Cahill, right?" she asked Simon.He nodded. "Yes, her last name is Cahill."Belle went through Grayson's contact list once more. There was only one "Dr. Cahill". Hence, it had to be her."Video call her," she instructed Simon."What?""Tell her Grayson had fainted suddenly. Then ask her what should you do," Belle continued. But Simon hesitated, "She doesn't know me, and I don't know her. This … " "You don't know her, but I'm sure she knows you."Since Lena had planned meticulously for so long, she must have looked into everyone around Grayson. Notably, Simon, as he was the person who would most likely discover her schemes. That was because h
Soon, Lena's voice came through the phone. "What's the matter?"Simon dared not tell her that Belle had knocked Grayson unconscious. So, he lied, "I don't know what happened, too. When Meredith called me over, he had passed out."She said he had been resting at home for the whole day. The entire house smells like herbs."Lena asked, "Have you examined him?""Yes, but I can't seem to find any issues. I know he has been using the scented sachets you gave to treat his insomnia," answered Simon. He continued, "He also mentioned that you changed to a new prescription. That's why I'm checking with you first. Then I'll take him to the hospital.""There's no need to take him to the hospital. It's a normal reaction," Lena replied. "The new medication is strong. He couldn't adapt to it right away. Besides, he's been ill for quite some time. "There are a lot of toxins in his body. His body will get used to it after he faints a few more times. After that, he'll be fine."Simon asked in
Soon, Belle found the footage from that day. She fast-forwarded the clip. Then she watched at double speed until she found a familiar figure. Belle immediately hit the pause button. The woman on the screen was none other than Lena. Lena had only briefly shown her face on camera moments ago. Despite that, Belle was certain the woman in the footage was her. She frowned as she stared at the screen. After observing for a while, Belle confirmed she did not know Lena. She played the video again. This time, she watched it at normal speed. Shortly after, she saw Robert entering the café. At the sight of Robert, Lena frowned. It was apparent she knew him. However, at that time, he did not see her. Then Grayson headed into the café. as well. He walked straight toward Lena. Immediately afterward, Belle entered. She approached Robert with a smile. After Grayson saw them, Lena noticed the duo, too. But suddenly, Lena's expression changed. She frowned, and her gaze was intense. Belle w
The most suitable approach to finding out Lena's real identity was to examine her DNA. After all, it was a genetic marker present in a person's blood from birth. No one could change that.But how could Belle obtain Lena's DNA?At the very least, she would need to meet the latter. Just as Belle was contemplating, her phone rang suddenly. She looked down and saw it was Dorothy calling. Belle was surprised. She hurriedly answered the phone. "Mrs. Jenkins Senior, are you done with your seclusion?"Dorothy chuckled before replying, "Yes, I've come out of seclusion. "The moment I'm out, I heard you've been looking for me daily. Haha!"Belle felt at ease after hearing Dorothy's gentle voice. The former had been very worried for the past few days. "I was concerned because you were in seclusion for so long. Besides, the Sylvester family … "Belle did not continue. Instead, she said, "Oh, by the way, I have something important to discuss with you. Where are you right now? I'll come
Just then, a loud boom of thunder echoed through the air.A lightning bolt cast light upon the woman's and Lena's faces. The woman looked pale as she clutched the baby girl in her arms. She wanted to turn back and run. However, behind her was a wall. It was a dead end. There was no way out behind her, and Lena was standing in front. The woman realized she could not escape. She stopped in her tracks and then turned to face Lena.The former's eyes were red-rimmed. "Why?" she questioned Lena.However, Lena did not say a word. She stepped on the puddles, closing into the woman. Between her fingers was a blade. It was sharp and gleamed with a chilling light. It seemed like the infant had sensed the danger. In an instant, she cried loudly. The woman lowered her head to look at the baby in the swaddle blanket. Her voice choked with tears as she comforted her child. Her tears, together with the raindrops, trickled down. Drop by drop, it fell onto the baby's tender face. As L
