Chapter 826 She Is Poisoned
After hearing this, Kayla laughed.
Instantly, the depressed feeling in her chest dispersed.
As she took the glass of iced lemon tea, she chuckled, "Does Emmeline know?"
Millay replied excitedly, "She will. Seeing how vexed Yunne was, I bet she would go back and complain to Miss Illington."
When Kayla heard that, she was even more thrilled.
However, when she thought of Emmeline's cold temper, her eyes dimmed again.
Would Emmeline care about such trifles?
Probably not. If she didn't know that Emmeline liked Jara, she might mistake Emmeline for an emotionless living corpse.
With this thought in mind, Kayla let out a cold snort.
So what if Emmeline liked Jara?
The two of them haven't got together.
As long as they were not together, she still had a chance. Besides, if Jara and Emmeline had no grudge, why didn't they reconcile with each other?
Why would he have to make use of herself to prove Emmeline's feelings toward him instead?
When she thought of this, her dimmed eyes shone with brilliance again.
As she snorted coldly, she took a sip of iced lemon tea.
Just as expected from the tea made from the lemon snatched from Emmeline, it tasted great.
After one sip, she felt that this was the best glass of iced lemon tea that she ever had.
It was sweet with a peculiar and fragrant taste.
Soon, Kayla finished her tea and licked the corner of her mouth. "They must have gone nuts, right? Let's go and watch the fun. Even if we can't do anything to her, it'll be a great pleasure for us to add fuel to the fire."
After that, Kayla put down the glass and stood up.
Upon hearing that, Millay was also excited.
Right away, she helped Kayla to prepare her stuff. For the sake of not losing dignity in front of Emmeline, Kayla would dress up appropriately at all times, even if she was just taking a stroll in the castle.
This time, it would be the same.
However, just as Millay picked up Kayla's handbag, she saw Kayla's expression change. With that, Kayla bent down.
Stunned, Millay quickly ran over and held Kayla.
"Miss Burke, are you okay?"
In an instant, Kayla's face turned pale, and her forehead was beaded with sweat.
Besides, she started to stammer as she spoke. After that, she reached out her trembling hand and grabbed Millay's arm.
At that moment, her clasp was so strong as if she was going to embed her entire palm into Millay's arm.
"My tummy hurts!"
She rasped those words in a weak tone.
Instantaneously, Millay panicked.
"Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? Calm down and have a seat first."
Right away, she helped Kayla to sit down, only to see Kayla's face turn from pale to red and the corners of her mouth turn dark.
At that time, Kayla felt as if a giant hand was grabbing her intestines and violently pulling them.
Due to the pain, she almost passed out. When Millay noticed the changes on her face, she realized the seriousness of the situation.
Immediately, she said, "Hold on! I'll call the doctor right away!"
After that, she rushed out.
Soon, the doctor arrived.
Aside from the doctor, Uncle Poick also rushed here after he was alarmed by Kayla's news.
By this time, Kayla had passed out from the pain.
As soon as the doctor saw her face, his expression turned serious. Right away, he began to examine and treat her.
Meanwhile, Emmeline also heard of the situation and came over to have a look. She saw that Kayla's room was crammed with people.
With that, she frowned.
At this time, Kayla was already lying in her bed while being treated by the doctor.
Then, when Uncle Poick turned his head and saw Emmeline, he quickly approached her.
"Miss Illington."
With her brows furrowed, Emmeline asked, "What happened?"
Looking tense, Uncle Poick replied in a low voice, "I am clueless too. I rushed here the moment I heard something happened, and they told me she was..."
After a short pause, he frowned and continued, "Poisoned."
"Poisoned?!"
Shocked, Emmeline exclaimed.
Looking at her, Uncle Poick nodded.
"Yes, she was poisoned. We haven't found out the specific reason, but the doctor is examining her right now, so I believe there will be a result soon."
Hearing that, Emmeline nodded.
Deep down, she had some doubts. Basically, in Jara's castle, the servants would inspect everything thoroughly. So, how could a poisoning take place?
Moreover, the victim was Kayla.
Although she didn't know much about Kayla, she knew Kayla was nothing but a bimbo that didn't pose any threat to anyone here.
Who would try to harm her?
Emmeline was puzzled, just like how everyone was.
However, things had happened, and it was no use to contemplate it.
Staring at Kayla, who was looking wan, Emmeline asked, "Can she be saved?"
To that, Uncle Poick nodded.
"The doctor says although the toxicity is strong, she will be fine because she gets treated early."
Upon hearing his words, Emmeline was relieved.
Actually, she disliked Kayla as Kayla would come up with schemes to provoke her.
However, she did not want to see another person die in front of her again.
After a moment of silence, she spoke, "You should inform Jara. He should know about this as soon as possible."
Strangely, she somehow felt that it wasn't a coincidence that Kayla was poisoned on such a special day today.
Most probably, the culprit was aiming at Jara.
Therefore, it was necessary to inform him.
To Emmeline's words, Uncle Poick nodded. "That was what I thought as well, but I was anxious just now, so it slipped my mind. I'll notify him right now."
After that, he went out to make a phone call.
In Kayla's room, Emmeline sat there for a while until the doctor informed her that there was no risk for the time being. Now, they just needed to move Kayla to the medical room and let her undergo gastric lavage. Knowing that Kayla would be fine, Emmeline left.
Back in the room, Emmeline kept frowning.
For some reason, the uneasiness in her heart was increasing.
Fortunately, not long after, she got some news from Uncle Poick.
She heard that Jara had known about this matter and was on his way back.
In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Emmeline. Even so, Uncle Poick still deliberately asked someone to inform her.
Obviously, he valued Emmeline very much.
In his heart, she was like the lady of the castle.
However, when Emmeline received the news, she didn't say anything.
It was as if she was not concerned about it.
