Chapter 827 Who Poisoned Her?
30 minutes after Jara got the news, he arrived at the castle.
Meanwhile, Kayla had undergone gastric lavage in the medical room and survived the critical stage for now.
Through examination, the doctor had determined the type of the poison.
However, this result could bring shock to everyone.
When the doctor was about to announce the medical results, Emmeline and Yunne arrived.
That time, she avoided looking at Jara, and they didn't have any eye contact. Instead, they just quietly waited there for the result.
Moments later, the doctor came out of the medical room, looking serious.
Then, he announced in a deep voice, "The result is out, and it shows that she was poisoned by arsenic."
What?
Arsenic?
Everyone was shocked.
At the same time, Jara's and Emmeline's brows were tightly furrowed.
After that, the doctor looked at Millay and asked, "Did Miss Burke drank any lemon beverages today?"
Upon hearing that, Millay was stunned for a while before she responded with a nod, "Yes, I made her a glass of iced lemon tea today. Is there anything wrong about it?"
With a tense expression, the doctor handed her the report.
"I have detected arsenic from the lemon zest in her stomach. Here is the toxicology report. You may check it out."
Before Millay could react, Jara snatched the report.
After he read the report, his face darkened.
Meanwhile, Yunne suddenly thought of something, and her face changed.
As for Millay, she was still explaining anxiously.
"How could it be? I made that tea myself. Besides, other than me and Miss Burke, no one else touched it. How could it be poisonous?"
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Lilly, who was also being called here.
"It's you, isn't it?!"
At once, everyone turned to Lilly.
Then, Millay screeched, "You hated Miss Burke for blaming you yesterday, so you tried to kill her by adding poison to the lemon! How dare you! You wicked woman!"
After that, she charged at Lilly.
However, there were so many people here, and no one would let her hit Lilly.
"Enough!" Jara growled.
Right away, someone came forward to stop Millay.
Looking at Lilly gloomily, Jara asked, "You are the one who organized the food ingredients, right?"
At this moment, Lilly was also stunned. It didn't occur to her that something like this would happen.
With that, she anxiously waved her hands as she explained, "I didn't. Although I was the one who organized the food ingredients, I swear with my conscience that I didn't poison any of them. I dislike Miss Burke, but she's still your guest, whereas I'm just a cook here. Why would I harm her?"
Upon hearing this, Millay cried, "Who else could it be but you? You're the only one who has a grudge with Miss Burke! Besides, you are in the kitchen for the whole time!"
Lilly never thought that she would be involved in this kind of situation.
For the past two days, she was extremely unlucky. Not only was she being framed for stealing the vodka, but she was also being framed for attempted murder.
It was as if she had angered the heavens. All sorts of bad things came to her at once.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes sparkled.
"Oh, by the way, there was only one lemon left this morning, and I was actually reserving it for Miss Illington. If I were to poison Miss Burke, I would put arsenic into her lunch instead. Why would I poison the lemon? It was not like I could predict that she was craving iced lemon tea this morning."
After hearing what she said, everyone was confused, as if they didn't understand what she meant.
Instantaneously, Yunne came forward.
Then, she spoke in a deep voice, "I can testify. This morning, I knew there was one lemon left. However, I wanted to make a glass of lemonade for Miss Illington, so I asked Lilly to keep it for me before I left for my errands. Unfortunately, when I returned to the kitchen again, it was already in Millay's hands."
She paused for a while before she turned to look at Millay expressionlessly. "So instead of Lilly, Millay is more likely to be the murderer."
Upon hearing this, Millay was dumbstruck.
Never did she expect that things would turn out this way.
At once, she shrieked, "Nonsense! Why would I hurt a person who treats me well?"
After that, something came into her mind, and she looked at Emmeline in disbelief.
"Wait, so that means... the poison is meant for you, not Miss Burke."
In fact, everyone had realized it earlier than her.
At that moment, Jara's face turned darker.
For a while, he looked at Millay coldly before he called, "Quan!"
Immediately, Quan came forward from Jara's back and bowed to him respectfully.
"Find out who frequent the kitchen recently and carefully inspect all the people who have been to the kitchen today. We must find out the culprit behind this!"
When Quan saw Jara's reaction, his heart skipped a beat. Then, he quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Holland!"
Later, the crowd dispersed.
With Uncle Poick's help, Quan began to inspect the servants and security guards in the castle.
On the other hand, seeing that everyone had left, Emmeline asked Yunne to bring her back to her room.
Since everyone knew that the culprit intended to poison Emmeline, she and Yunne were cleared of suspicion.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Emmeline moved in the direction of her room.
At that moment, she didn't notice that someone was staring at her from behind with a deep and complicated gaze.
In the afternoon, Kayla woke up.
After being poisoned and treated, she looked extra pale than usual, as if she had suffered from a serious illness.
Lying in her bed, she looked at Millay, who was still sobbing at the edge of the bed, and asked, "What happened to me?"
When Millay heard Kayla's voice, she immediately raised her head.
The next second, her eyes were glimmering with joy.
"Miss Burke, you're finally awake!"
Hearing that, Kayla was confused.
It took her a while to recover her senses. "What's going on?"
Then, Millay told her the whole situation in detail.
After listening to Millay's explanation, Kayla fell silent.
In a low voice, Millay sobbed, "Do you know how scared I was? I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again for the rest of my life."
To that, Kayla forced a smile. At this moment, she was no longer high and mighty. Instead, she became rather approachable.
"You're the only one who cares about me. In this castle, no one else would concern about my life except than you," she uttered.
Upon hearing that, Millay was stunned.
When she saw the desolation in Kayla's eyes, she felt unfamiliar.
Was Kayla still the high-spirited woman that she knew?
