Chapter 236 Poisoning
“Aylin, I brought Abby over to play with you. She says you’re beautiful and wants to get to know you better,” Sariah said with a smile, leading Abby towards her.
Aylin didn’t bother giving Sariah a look, and spoke to Abby in a relatively gentle tone, “Abby, is that so?”
Abby took Sariah’s words to heart, nodding and agreeing with everything Sariah said.
“Yes!”
Sariah laughed warmly and affectionately patted Abby’s head, “See, she likes you so much now. That’s how a family should be. Aylin, I was wrong before, but now let’s take care of Abby together and deepen our bond with her, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Aylin could hardly contain her laughter.
Pulling Abby into an emotional appeal, this hopelessly foolish woman, could she really be Aylin’s cousin?
Sariah, however, couldn’t detect the deep sarcasm hidden in Aylin’s eyes. She turned her head, blinked, and gave Abby a subtle signal.
She hinted to her to proceed according to plan.
Although Abby is timid, she is extremely clever and quick-witted, grasping things instantly.
She tilted her adorable little face upwards and said softly, “Aylin, I noticed your lips seem a bit dry. Would you like Abby to pour you a glass of water?”
This child has been deceived, and the ignorant are innocent. Aylin wouldn’t be so petty as to hold a grudge against a child.
“Go ahead, the kitchen is on the left.”
Aylin pointed the way for the little one, and Abby conscientiously carried the glass, trotting all the way to the kitchen.
Pour water, add medicine, serve water.
This is Sariah’s plan.
In reality, she didn’t want it to be like this. Aylin was so beautiful and provided her with food and entertainment. However, if she didn’t act this way, Aylin would lock her up.
Taking out the small paper packet from her pocket, she found the white medicinal powder that Sariah had given her inside.
Before leaving, Sariah grabbed her and repeatedly urged, “Success or failure hinges on this moment. Whether we can escape Aylin’s clutches and live in a big house or be confined to a terrifying basement depends on you!
Make sure no one’s around, then pour all the laxative powder in! It’s just a laxative, so it won’t cause any harm. After you’re done, stuff the wrapper into your pocket, got it?
Otherwise, if you end up locked in the dark room, no one will be able to save you!”
She doesn’t want to be locked in a small, dark room.
Abby’s small round face was tightly drawn, one hand clutching a paper bag while the other was ready to grab the thermos of boiling water on the table.
However, the countertop was designed for adults, and for Abby, a third-grader, it was simply too high.
She strained to stand on her tiptoes.
After several attempts, her little chubby hand finally touched the handle. However, her hands and feet were too short, so she could only barely reach it. The thermos was placed too far inside.
She extended her pinky finger, attempting to hook the kettle out, but unexpectedly exerted too much force. The entire kettle toppled over, spilling hot water everywhere!
Abby’s brain couldn’t react in time, and she couldn’t dodge. The hot water splashed directly onto her face!
The child was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, amidst a flash of lightning and a spark of fire, a graceful figure dashed in with a speed so swift that it left no time to cover one’s ears.
When Abby opened her eyes again, the anticipated pain from the burn didn’t come. Instead, she found herself nestled in a warm and fragrant embrace.
It’s so comfortable, like a mother’s embrace, making one reluctant to leave.
Upon looking up, Aylin was staring at her with concern, “Are you alright?”
It had been a long time since someone had held Abby like this, showing such care and concern. She blinked, feeling a mix of emotions – a tinge of sadness, yet a warmth in her heart.
Abby remained silent, so Aylin carefully examined the child to make sure she wasn’t injured before letting her go.
“I just forgot to mention, the kitchen countertop at my place is quite high, so you won’t be able to pour water. Don’t bother trying.”
After finishing her sentence, Aylin turned around and said, “I have something to do upstairs, you should leave now.”
Sariah watched Aylin walk away, her heart racing as she hurried over to assess the situation. Upon seeing the mess on the ground, she couldn’t help but give Abby an annoyed glance.
Upon hearing that Aylin was leaving, she quickly spoke up, “Aylin, are you going upstairs already? Don’t you want to chat a bit longer?”
“What’s there to talk about?”
Aylin turned her head coldly, “Sariah, listen carefully. We have never had any sisterly bond, not in the past, not now, and certainly not in the future.”
Sariah’s smile faltered a bit, “Aylin, why are you suddenly saying this-”
Aylin looked at her coldly and said, “I’m the kind of person who holds grudges. I remember every single thing others have done to wrong me. Don’t think I can’t see through your little schemes!”
For a moment, her gaze fell upon Abby again.
“Take her away, immediately.”
The smile on Sariah’s face had completely frozen.
What did Aylin find out?
Impossible!
“Moreover.”
Aylin stopped in her tracks, causing Sariah to shudder. The woman then extended her delicate fingers, pointing at the painting on the table, which was already adorned with blooming flowers.
“You promised to wash my feet for me, but you haven’t done it for quite a few days now, right?
This flower was picked by John yesterday, and it’s past its prime now. Go to the garden and pick a bunch of fresh, vibrant ones. Arrange them nicely before you leave, and then I won’t make a fuss about it.”
Speaking so bluntly in front of Abby was undoubtedly a slap in Sariah’s face, but Aylin’s tone was so natural, as if she was simply giving orders to an ordinary maid in their household.
Sariah clenched her fists tightly in anger, almost grinding her teeth to pieces!
This despicable person!
After Aylin finished speaking, she slowly went upstairs, lifting her skirt.
It was just a simple act of climbing the stairs, yet she managed to make it graceful and captivating, her movements enchanting. Sariah couldn’t help but watch with eyes filled with envy, as if they were about to shoot out flames.
Abby’s bright, expressive eyes were fixed on Aylin’s retreating figure, but this time, they no longer held fear or timidity.
It is extremely intricate and profound, and one can’t help but read it with greatseriousness.
As soon as Aylin left, Sariah started venting to Abby, her hair standing on end with anger. “Did you see that? Did you see that? She bullies me like this every day, treating me like a servant, making me wash
her feet, and forcing me to work like an ox and a horse for her!”
Abby blinked her big eyes, returning to her well-behaved and flawless appearance.
Sariah snatched the medicine bag from her hands and personally dissolved the colorless and tasteless powder in water. “Abby, I am counting on you. Here, take this glass of water upstairs.”
Although it was said to be a laxative, what she actually gave was poison!
Abby blinked her eyes, “But didn’t Aylin tell us to leave?”
Sariah frowned, displeased, “So if she tells you to leave, you just leave? Next time, if she tries to hit you, are you not going to dodge and just let her hit you?
You can’t just listen to everything she says, you know? How else are we going to defeat her?”
After she finished speaking, she placed the cup in the girl’s hand and patted her head. “Be good, Abby. Go on, I believe in you!”.
“Okay…” Abby pursed her lips and nodded silently.
As she walked in, a pendant hung around her neck. Sariah reached out, pressing the back of the pendant, and then gave her a gentle push. NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Go ahead, and don’t forget what I’ve told you!
