“Mr. Lynch, after the preliminary diagnosis, they are showing signs of being poisoned.”When the family doctor came, he checked up on Granny Lynch and observed the two children. His conclusion was, “Even if they were not poisoned, they must have eaten food that produced toxins. Their symptoms were a reaction to food poisoning.”Joshua furrowed his brows tightly.Poisoned? Food that produced toxins? How did this happen? Fiona and Luna made the meal together. Although Fiona was not great at cooking, Luna was a pro. How could such a thing happen?“This is according to my diagnosis. I have already called an ambulance over, but it’s the suburbs, so we might have to wait a while.”Then, the doctor looked at the feast on the dining table. “Were you having dinner just now?”Joshua nodded. “Yes.”“Then, let me use the time to check the food on the table.”The doctor sighed and took the first aid kit next to the table. “It would be best if I could find out what the poison was.”Fiona’
“But all this while, Granny had been telling me that you’re a good person. She said that know how to take good care of others! How could you…poisoned Granny Lynch!”Joshua frowned hard at Fiona’s words. He swept Luna a cold glance. “You’re the one that made this dish, right?”Luna sneered, “It was me.”Joshua closed his eyes. He secretly clenched his fist.“Fiona’s right. Although Granny did not used to like you, throughout this time, she had always been thinking about the good you do! How could you…”Before Joshua could finish his sentence, the ambulance arrived. Granny Lynch, Nigel, and Nellie were placed into the ambulance. Joshua was worried so he planned to follow them to the hospital.“I’ll come along.” Fiona worriedly bit her lips. Tears kept falling. “Granny Lynch is already so old. She must be extremely uncomfortable.”Then, she could not help but look at Luna. “How could you be so cruel?”Although Fiona did not know why Granny Lynch would be in pain even though she di
“Yes.”Facing Joshua’s stunned expressions, the doctor cleared his throat. “Granny Lynch has been taken to the toilet with the help of the nurses. Although it was laxative, she had been constipated recently. I guess it’s a blessing in disguise.“As for Nigel and Nellie, they did not consume any laxatives. Perhaps they consumed cold things during the afternoon which caused them to have a tummy ache. I’ve already prescribed them some medicine.”The doctor sighed, “But, Mr. Lynch, although it’s only a scare, the food at home has truly been poisoned. You have to carefully investigate this matter.“Also, Granny Lynch can’t consume too many drugs like laxatives.”Then, the doctor closed his file, turned, and left.Joshua furrowed his brows while looking at the doctor leaving. After a while, he turned around. Behind him, Fiona was sitting on the bench with teary eyes. She sobbed while wiping her tears away.“Thank goodness, thank goodness that Granny Lynch only had laxatives. If she at
Joshua could not understand why Luna wanted to go up against such an old person! “Maybe…it was not Granny Lynch who offended Ms. Luna, it was me.”Just when Joshua was clutching Luna’s neck questioning her, Fiona, who had been sitting on the chair in the distance, wiped her tears and stood up.Tears were still in her eyes. She sobbed and looked at Joshua and Luna. “Ms. Luna must have known that Granny Lynch and I did not see eye to eye, so she tried to hurt Granny Lynch and framed it on me.”Fiona cried until her eyes were reddened. “After all, in the entire Orchard Manor, only I would have the motive to hurt Granny…” The more Fiona spoke the more aggrieved she was. She sobbed until her entire body started twitching.Luna was being pinned against the wall by Joshua. She could not help but smile.“Ms. Blake, your act of accusing me is done to perfection. Such great acting skills. It’s a pity you’re not in the entertainment industry!”“Luna!” Joshua’s expressions darkened instant
The atmosphere in the corridor froze.Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. His gaze was complicated.He remembered that when they reached Orchard Manor that evening, Nellie insisted on letting Granny Lynch drink the lemon iced tea, which was made for Fiona because it has more words than herbal tea.Thus…The laxatives were laced in the beverage meant for Fiona? Joshua was not only the one that was shocked. Fiona too. She bit her lips and glared at Luna. “So, from the beginning, you laced the beverage, wanting to give me diarrhea!”Luna laughed. She turned to look at Fiona coldly. “Why? Can’t I? How many times have you schemed against me all this while, Ms. Blake?”Luna crossed her arms around her chest. Her tone was arrogant. “Last night, My friend John got hurt because he stopped you from killing yourself. You did not even thank him, yet Mr. Lynch had the audacity to threaten us, saying if anything were to happen to you, he would not forgive us.“Yet the next day, yo
Fiona wanted to see what evidence Luna could produce when Lucas brought the phone over! 10 minutes later, Lucas rushed over with a few cups of beverages, the phone, and the phone stand.Although Joshua only asked for two beverages, when he took them, he noticed that Nigel’s and Nellie’s beverages were not finished yet and it was placed together, so he simply took them together.The doctor took the beverages to check upon them. In the end, he only brought the lemon iced tea out.“Mr. Lynch, only this cup has been laced with laxatives. From the results, the ingredients were matched with the ones Granny Lynch consumed.“As for the other three cups, there is nothing. Especially in the herbal tea. Not only has it not been drugged, but it was also added with many vitamins good for the elderly.”Then, the doctor stuffed the results in Joshua’s hand, turned, and left.Clutching the results, Joshua furrowed his brows a little.Fiona went over to have a look. Then she loudly reprimanded
Joshua ignored Fiona.He immediately snatched Luna’s phone away and played the video on the phone once again.The video recorded it clearly. Fiona, who kept saying she was allergic to shrimps, not only went near them, but she also ate one.She even poisoned that dish! Joshua squinted his eyes furiously. He turned to look at Fiona with an expression dangerously darkened. “Fiona, how do you explain yourself?”He threw the phone at Fiona. “I want to hear what you can come up with.”The phone hit Fiona and fell to the ground. Fiona still had Joshua’s coat when she said she was cold earlier. She bit her lips and violently trembled. “Joshua, I…”“Ms. Blake.” Luna smiled and warned her, “You better explain properly. Don’t think that just because you delete the video everything would be alright. Do you really think I would be as dumb as you to record everything with only a video?”Luna gracefully took a few pin-hole cameras from the phone stand. “I still have a lot of evidence here.
She did not understand why Joshua liked Fiona so much. It was as if he owed Fiona his life. He treated Fiona as even more important than his life.Looking at the scene before her, Luna thought that she was pathetic. She took such a huge effort to expose Fiona for her true colors. In the end, it could not compare to Fiona passing out.Luna gripped the phone as if she was gripping her lonely heart. Even if she managed to get hold of the most important evidence, so what? Even if she proved that Fiona had malicious intentions, so what? In Joshua’s heart, Fiona was the most important one! The most important person! No matter how hard she tried, she could not move Fiona’s position in his heart.At that thought, Fiona closed her eyes and smiled bitterly.When she came out from the hospital, it was raining heavily. Luna did not hail a taxi. She walked alone under the heavy rain. In the rain, she inexplicably thought back to the day she found out she was pregnant, also at the sa
