Chapter 91

Clive had lost his appetite for food. With a dark expression on his face, he got up. "I must find out who sneaked

in here!"

Losing a poison of that type was no laughing matter.

If the person who stole the poison were to use it with malicious intentions, it would be almost impossible for

anyone to detect and avoid that potent, colorless, and odorless poison. Before he left the room, Clive cast a

glance at Felicia and reminded her. "Licia, you need to be careful."

Felicia nodded.

Clive strode out of the pharmacy. He was reminded that Roberta, who was waiting outside, had been injured

when he walked past her.

He cto a halt. "You haven't changed the dressing for today, right? Once I've settled surgent matters,

you can cand look for me. I'll help you change it." "Thank you, Great-grandpa."

Roberta beamed.

If it had been before, she would have been really happy to hear Clive expressing his concern, for her like this.

However... It was too late now. It was all too late now. After Clive left, Felicia cout of the pharmacy.

Roberta commented in a gentle voice, "Aunt Felicia, the weather's nice today. Why don't we head outside to the

garden? I've baked a cake and made a few desserts. Would you like to try them?" Felicia stared at Roberta, trying

to read the expression on her face.

Unfortunately, nothing in particular stood out.

Roberta looked very much like her usual self. The only thing different was that she was not smiling as much and

looked a bit tired. The corners of her eyes were slightly red.

It seemed like she might have cried just a while ago.

Felicia took her up on the offer. "Sure!"

She wanted to see how long Roberta was going to keep up with this act.

Felicia closed the door to the pharmacy and followed Roberta to the garden.

Several plates of desserts and sliced fruits were served on a stone table in the garden. There were also two

glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.

There was a brief flash of contempt in Felicia's eyes when she saw the two glasses of orange

juice.

If her prediction was right, one of the two drinks was spiked.

Felicia fell behind slightly on purpose to see what Roberta would do.

Roberta behaved as if she had not noticed anything and sat on the seat on the right. She naturally took the glass

of orange juice to the right and placed it before her. Meanwhile, Felicia sat opposite her. She stared at the

desserts and the remaining glass of orange juice, which Roberta moved closer to her, without touching them.

Roberta lifted her gaze and looked in the sun's direction. She squinted her eyes against the strong sunlight.

However, she smiled faintly. "Aunt Felicia, the weather is so lovely today." Felicia remained silent.

Roberta did not seem to mind the lack of response. She went on talking as if she suddenly had the urge to share

her stories.

"When | was younger, | thought | was the happiest child in the world. My mom was always gentle to me, whereas

my dad was always very caring and thoughtful.

"One day, a woman barged into our house and claimed that my dad was her husband. She

yanked at my mom's hair and called her a slut and a mistress.

"I had no idea what a mistress meant at first. It wasn't until later on when people started callingthe daughter

of a mistress and an illegitimate child...

'My classmates mocked and ridiculedbehind my back. Our neighbors left their rubbish in

front of our door.

"No matter how frequently we moved houses, people would always find us and splash paint onto our front door.

They would even print photos of my mom andon flyers and distribute them on the streets.

"At spoint, my mom started having mental issues. Before she was admitted to a mental hospital, my mom

found my dad and managed to get the Walsh family to takein. She said she did that for my sake. Yet, my

mom was so... so naive! She had no idea how hard life was forwhen | stayed with the Walsh family."

Roberta chuckled bitterly. Her eyes were red, but she tried her best to hold back her tears.

"The caring and thoughtful dad in my memories was no longer the sperson | knew. He was so different to

the point that I could hardly recognize him "

She looked at Felicia and mockingly continued, "You already know what happened next, Aunt

Chaoperat

Felicia.

"With the excuse of sendingaway to study abroad, Talia had her men selloff to the people in that village.

| tried escaping many times, but those men always managed to captureagain." Each time, a darker and

more sinister hell awaited her back at the village.

"The day | met you happened to be my birthday as well. | prayed to the heavens, hoping that they'd save me.

You appeared at that very moment."
