Chapter 1843
The bodyguard hesitated, whip poised in the air.
I glanced at Andrew and added, “Stop beating her for now.
I want to hear her out.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
”
Andrew looked uncertain but asked cautiously, “You aren’t going soft, are you?”
I replied, my voice steely, “Of course not.
I just want to be sure.
If she truly poisoned Abby, I will kill her myself!”
At my words, Andrew signaled for the bodyguards to step back.
Debra’s POV:
Regaining her composure, Nora forced a bitter smile and continued watching Abby.
Seeing Abby sleep peacefully, she softened and whispered, “Thank God.
Abby is okay.
”
Hearing this sent a shiver down my spine.
“You have poisoned Abby.
How can you say she’s fine? Do you expect me to trust you?”
Nora gave a sorrowful smile, furrowed her brow, and replied, “Believe it or not, I didn’t poison Abby.
I would protect her, even at the cost of my own life.
”
“Really?” I scoffed.
I didn’t believe her one bit.
“If I had intended to harm Abby, why would I have waited until now?”
Nora said each word carefully, still looking tenderly at Abby.
“I look after Abby every day.
If I wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have survived this long.
”
Looking into Nora’s eyes, filled with pain and despair, I found myself hesitating.
Indeed, Nora had always cared for Abby well.
I could sense her genuine affection for Abby, and I couldn’t see why she would harm Abby.
What could have made her do that? What reason could she possibly have to poison a child only a few months old?
I was both furious and confused.
Part of me even wanted to let her explain herself.
With a serious expression, I kept asking, “If you didn’t poison the baby’s milk powder, then who did?”
Nora shook her head in despair.
“I don’t know.
Andrew had me confined in a dark dungeon for so long.
I don’t know what happened.
It’s my fault.
If I had been there for Abby, she wouldn’t have been harmed.
”
As she spoke, she knelt before me and bowed her head deeply to the floor.
Soon, there was blood on her forehead.
I was shocked and whispered, “Stop this.
Calm down and just speak your mind.
Hurting yourself won’t help anything.
”
Realizing the coldness and anger in my voice, Nora paused uncomfortably and whispered, “I’m sorry.
I got too carried away.
I hope I didn’t scare the baby, did I?”
Abby moved in my arms and let out a small groan.
