Chapter 827 Who Poisoned Her?
Chapter 827 Who Poisoned Her?
Felix quickly returned to the castle. He rushed back in just half an hour after he got the news.
In the infirmary, the doctor had given Bella some proper treatments, so she was not in a critical
condition anymore.
The test result had come out.
But it took everyone by surprise.
Queeny was also there when the doctor announced the result. Ella had brought her there in a
wheelchair.
Queeny didn't look at Felix. The two didn't even make eye contact. They just waited quietly for the
result.
The doctor looked rather apprehensive when he walked out of the infirmary.
He then said, "Here is the test result. It was white arsenic."
What?
White arsenic?
Everyone was astounded.
Felix and Queeny both puckered their brows.
Next, the doctor looked at Katy, who was standing on the side, and inquired, "Has Miss Collins had
soup or anything like that today?"
Katy was taken aback. She then nodded and said, "Yes. She had some cereal from the kitchen. Why?"
The doctor held up a report with a grim look on his face.
"It was in the cereal. This is the toxic substance report. You should read this."
Before Katy could react, Felix snatched the report over.
His face darkened as soon as he took a glance at it.
Then, as if something just occurred to Ella, who was standing behind Queeny, turned pale at once.
Katy was still making explanations in a fluster.
"How can it be? I brought the cereal from the kitchen myself to Miss Collins. No one else had touched
it. How could it be poisonous?"
Right after she said this, she spun around to stare at Gina, the cook, who had been summoned here as
well.
"I know! It must be you! You put the poison in it, didn't you?"
As soon as she shouted, everyone turned to look at Gina.
Katy said in a shrill voice, "You're holding a grudge against Miss Collins because of what happened
yesterday. So you poisoned her to get back at her. How could you be so evil?"
After saying that, she actually swooped on Gina, trying to hit her.
Yet, with so many people watching them, how could she really get to Gina?
Felix snarled, "Enough!"
At once, some servants went up and stopped Katy.
Felix locked his somber eyes on Gina and questioned, "You made the cereal?"
Gina was thunderstruck. She never thought the cereal she made would be poisonous.
Waving her hand in a panic, she stuttered, "No, no, I didn't. It's true that I made the cereal, but I didn't
poison it. I swear to God. Though I don't like Miss Collins, she is a guest here after all. I'm just a cook
working here. How could I have the nerve to poison her?"
Katy contradicted in a high-pitched voice, "Who else could it be then? Among all these people here,
you're the only one who bears a grudge against her and had access to the food."
Gina never thought she would be in such deep trouble one day.
She felt she was really unlucky these days. Just yesterday, she was wrongly accused of stealing some
ingredients. Now, she had been framed for poisoning Bella.
Talk about her bad luck!
All of a sudden, her eyes lit up as if enlightenment had struck her.
"Oh, I remember. It was not made for Miss Collins in the first place. If I really wanted to poison her, I
should have put the poison in her lunch instead of the cereal. How could I foresee that she wanted to
have cereal today?"
The others were all stupefied after they heard this. They didn't understand what she meant.
At this moment, Ella stepped forward.
She said solemnly, "I can testify for her. I asked her this morning to make the cereal for Miss Horton.
But when I went to fetch the cereal after it was made, Katy came in and took it away."
After a pause, she looked back at Katy and said with a poker face, "Therefore, Gina can't be the
murderer. The suspect should be Katy, who seized that bowl of cereal from me."
Katy was shocked by the accusation.
She never thought things would take such a sharp turn.
She screamed, "No! Nonsense! I'm not a murderer! Miss Collins has been so nice to me. Why would I
want to hurt her?"
Then, she suddenly cottoned on and turned to gawk at Queeny.
"That's to say, the poison was not for Miss Collins. The one that was supposed to be poisoned is you!"
Almost everyone had long understood what had happened. Yet, Katy was kind of slow on this.
Felix's face grew stern.
He gazed at Katy with a stony face. A long while later, he called, "Ford!"
Ford came up to him from behind and replied respectfully, "Boss."
"Go find out who was in that kitchen recently and who did it. Question everyone in the castle
thoroughly. We must find out who did this!"
Realizing the gravity of this matter, Ford quickly answered, "Yes, sir!"
After that, the crowd dispersed.
With Donald's assistance, Ford began to question the maids and guards in the castle one by one.
Now that everyone was leaving, Queeny asked Ella to wheel her back to her room.
So far, one thing was certain. Someone wanted to poison her. Because of this, she and Ella were the
only two who were not suspected in this castle.
Queeny slowly headed to her room in the wheelchair.
What she didn't know was that a deep and conflicted gaze was following her from behind.
Bella didn't wake up until the afternoon.
After being poisoned and the gastric lavage, she now looked very pallid as if she had been sick for a
long time.
When Bella saw Katy sitting by her bed, she asked, "What happened?"
Katy was still sobbing. She looked up as soon as she heard Bella's voice.
The next second, her eyes revealed surprise and delight.
"Miss Collins, you're up!"
Bella was still in a trance.
Moments later, she came to her senses and asked, "What's going on?"
Katy quickly told her what happened today blow by blow.
Bella fell silent after she heard her recount.
Still weeping a little, Katy said, "Miss Collins, I thought, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again."
Bella forced a smile. She was no longer as lofty as she usually was. At this time, she even seemed
approachable and welcoming.
In a soft voice, she said, "You're the only one who still cares about me. Who else in this castle would
mind if I'm alive or dead?novelbin
These words took Katy by surprise.
Seeing the desolation in Bella's eyes, she suddenly felt she was rather unfamiliar with this woman.
"Is she still the upbeat Bella Collins I know?"
