Chapter 141
Isabella’s eyes widened in shock.
She understood in an instant. Serena had known from the very beginning that she had drugged the toast!
Serena had discovered it long ago!
But Serena had deliberately used her parents to force her to eat that breakfast herself!
Serena had set a trap from the start, waiting for Isabella to walk right into it!
That hick was just too vicious!
Serena knew what Isabella was thinking just by looking at her expression.
It was clear that Isabella didn’t think this was her fault at all.
She had put a powerful laxative in both the toast and the fried egg, and had likely increased the dosage, hoping to give Serena diarrhea until she collapsed from dehydration.
With a dose like that, she would be stuck on the toilet for at least three days.
Even getting her stomach pumped at the hospital wouldn’t do much good.
Isabella was about to go through hell.
Of course, she had to endure the laxative she’d prepared herself.
Serena lifted her gaze, shot a sideways glance at Isabella, and curved her lips into a smirk. Without another word, she turned and walked away.
“You p>
Isabella’s vision swam with rage. She lunged forward, wanting to stop Serena from seeing Nicholas Blackwood.
But she had barely taken a single step.
A churning, agonizing pain suddenly ripped through her.
Her insides felt like they were being twisted into knots, and the pain drained all the color from her face.
A powerful sensation rushed downwards p>
Isabella immediately clutched her stomach and clamped her legs together.
“Isabella,” Catherine said with a frown after Serena had left. “What did Serena mean just now? What was that about you provoking Brianna into having an attack? Are you responsible for Brianna’s heart condition p>
Isabella’s face was grim, sweat beading on her forehead from the pain. She stammered, trying to explain, “No, no… Mom, it was a misunderstanding p>
Before she could finish her sentence, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. In that moment, she cast aside all her poise and elegance as a high-society lady.
She bolted, stumbling towards the bathroom.
Soon, a series of blood-curdling screams echoed from within.
She had finally begun to thoroughly “enjoy” the extra-strength laxative she had so carefully prepared for Serena.
She was trapped in a living hell, an agony worse than death!
Starlight Royal Medical Center.
Serena and Nicholas arrived at Brianna’s hospital room.
They pushed the door open and went inside.
Nathan was sitting by the bedside, cutting freshly peeled apple slices for the young girl in the bed.
Serena’s gaze fell on the hospital bed.
A sweet and lovely-looking girl was propped up against the headboard, idly poking
at the apple with a toothpick, her long lashes drooping. She seemed listless.
Serena knew that after a genet
But judging by her complexion,
recovery and taking the
heart stabilizing pill she had given her, the girl had made a full recovery.
Her current lack of energy was probably just boredom from being cooped up in the hospital for too long.
Upon hearing the noise, the girl’s head snapped up. When she saw Serena, her bright, clear eyes lit up instantly. “Serena p>
She excitedly threw off the covers, about to get out of bed. “Serena, you really came p>
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy there, you little menace, don’t move! You’ve got all these tubes hooked up to you. I one of them comes loose you’ll be stuck in here even longer!” Nathan* quickly put down the fruit knife and held the girl down.
The girl pushed at him forcefully. “What’s there to be afraid of when Serena is here p>
Nathan retorted, “Miss Lancaster can’t pull you back from death’s door every single time! Just stay put, if only to make things easier for her p>
The girl instantly quieted down.
She ignored Nathan and, blinking her sparkling eyes gave Serena a sweet smile Serena, Horgot to introduce myself! I’m Brianna. Thank you for saving my neck, again and again p>
