“If you had never intended to harm Ellie, why did you mix her medicine with poison and feed it to her?”
Charlotte questioned her.
“That wasn’t poison, rather it was a type of medicine which only made her feel unwell,
temporarily,” Cynthia explained anxiously, ”If it were poison, I would not be able to make her well again
so quickly…”
As she spoke, Cynthia crawled up to Zachary’s feet, crying while making signs. “Zachary, I have saved
you before. Please forgive me for this once. As for Ellie, if not for me, something really bad could have
happened to her.”
“That was only because they took the medicine given by Ms. Lindberg.”
Lupine was furious…
“After Mr. Nacht was poisoned by snake venom, Ms. Lindberg immediately fed him her life-saving potion
so he would not suffer any ill effects at all. As long as he recuperated for a period of time, the snake
venom would naturally be ejected from his body.
“After that, Ms. Lindberg sneaked into the hospital without telling anyone and fed Ellie the potion as well.
That was how she recovered so quickly. In order not to be discovered, we rushed over to the South Sea
Hotel. Coincidentally, you arrived to treat Ellie making everyone think that you were the one who healed
her. That was ridiculous. If you could heal her, why couldn’t you heal yourself? If I am not mistaken, there
is still poison on your silver needle, isn’t it?”
As she spoke, Lupine took of Cynthia’s mask. Sure enough, one side of Cynthia’s face was so infected
that it was horrifying to see.
“Oh, my goodness! Cynthia…”
Taylor was anxious and worried when he saw Cynthia this way. Yesterday, the infection was only the size
of a pea. Today, it had spread to cover her face.
“You can’t live by committing sins.” Zachary looked at Cynthia coldly, “When you try harming others, you
harm yourself. This is your fate!”
“This is all?” Charlotte’s fists cracked as she clenched them tight. “It’s horrible enough she had harmed
me so badly. Is this punishment enough for harming my daughter as well?”
“I had no intention of hurting Ellie. It was just you!”
Cynthia glared at Charlotte with utter hatred in her eyes, gesticulating with intense emotion…
“We are both women. Why should I be the replaceable stand-in? I’ve done so much for the Nacht family.
In order to please them, I’ve lowered myself to the level of soil; yet, Zachary has not even looked at me
properly even once. As for you…? You go on and on to antagonize him; yet, he likes you so much. Your
family and the Nachts are sworn enemies, so you should not have come back. In fact, you should have
died two years ago. Then, I would have been Mrs. Nacht by now, and the three children would call me
Mommy. We would be one happy family…”
“Stop dreaming!” Zachary interrupted her impatiently, “Even if she didn’t come back, I won’t marry you.
“Two years ago, when she had that mishap, I had already decided never to marry again. “If I ever get
married, the bride can only be Charlotte!”
Hearing this, Charlotte’s trembled slightly. Zachary has said it under such circumstances and in front of
so many people. He has to be sincere.
She was very moved…
“Since you love her so much, why did you let me impersonate her two years ago?” Cynthia asked in a
choked voice, ”I was just an unloved daughter of a wealthy family, living in humiliation in a world of my
own.
“Overnight, I was made Mrs. Nacht, adored and respected by everyone. Everywhere I went, relatives
surrounded me and put me on a pedestal.
“Furthermore, from the time I was fifteen years old, I had started admiring you. In my dreams and
fantasies, I wished to marry you many times. I really thought my dreams had come true.
“However, it was all just a falsehood.
“Since you never liked me or admired me, why did you give me hope? ”Then, you pushed me to fall from
heaven into hell with your own hands. ”Why?”
