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.
Andrew looked uncertain but asked cautiously, You arent 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.
Debras 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 shes fine? Do you expect me to trust you?
Nora gave a sorrowful smile, furrowed her brow, and replied, Believe it or not, I didnt poison Abby. I would protect her, even at the cost of my own life.
Really? I scoffed. I didnt 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 wouldnt have survived this long.

Looking into Noras 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 couldnt 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 didnt poison the babys milk powder, then who did?
Nora shook her head in despair. I dont know. Andrew had me confined in a dark dungeon for so long. I dont know what happened. Its my fault. If I had been there for Abby, she wouldnt 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 wont help anything.
Realizing the coldness and anger in my voice, Nora paused uncomfortably and whispered, Im sorry. I got too carried away. I hope I didnt scare the baby, did I?
Abby moved in my arms and let out a small groan.
