Chapter 828 Coincidence Between Them
With that, Millay comforted her, "Actually, Mr. Holland is worried about you too. Once he knew you were poisoned, he ordered a thorough investigation across the entire castle!"
Even so, Kayla did not chime in with her this time.
Deep down, Kayla knew that Jara wasn't doing this for her.
That was because it was obvious that the culprit was going after Emmeline.
As for herself, she just happened to take the bullet after snatching the lemon from Emmeline.
If he really cared about her, he would've stayed by her side until she woke up.
Besides, in her room, there was no one else except Millay. Not even Uncle Poick was here.
For the first time, she found that her room—which she used to think was small—was so spacious.
In fact, it was so big and empty that it saddened her.
However, she managed to conceal her grief well.
Then, she turned to Millay and assured, "I'm fine, so you may stop crying now. Instead, can you bring me some food? I'm hungry."
Upon hearing this, Millay nodded. "Okay, I'll be right back."
After that, Millay brought her a bowl of plain oatmeal. As Kayla had just undergone gastric lavage, she could only eat something plain and light.
Although Kayla was not from a rich and powerful family, she was considered well off. So, she hadn't eaten such plain oatmeal before.
Seeing that, she couldn't help but frown. However, after a thought flashed through her mind, she started to dig in.
In the meantime, on the other side.
Since lunch, Emmeline had been sitting in her room.
In this poisoning incident, she knew that the culprit was initially targeting her.
Although her life was at stake, she was still as relaxed as usual.
Besides, she still went on with her life as if nothing had happened.
As a result, the other servants in the castle started to think that she was insane.
Despite that, Emmeline knew very well that she was perfectly normal.
She was just a little surprised. Before that, she thought that the other party would lie low, but they had lurked into the castle and tried to harm her.
With that, she had a few questions on her mind.
Firstly, there were two groups of people who wanted to harm her. Which group was the one who plotted this move?
Next, what means did they used to poison the drink? Was there a person who was working with them?
After this incident, Jara checked the surveillance camera.
Nevertheless, there were too many people in the kitchen. Other than Lilly, a few kitchen helpers had approached the food ingredients section.
Moreover, the culprit could've poisoned the other ingredients and stuffs other than lemon.
He or she could've applied arsenic to the knife used to cut the lemon, juice squeezer, or tea leaves, and so on. After all, it would result in the same effect.
Therefore, it was hard to investigate this incident.
As for her accident, it wasn't easy to investigate as well.
She hadn't even found the murderer, so how could she tell who was trying to take her life?
Even so, she had found some clues from this incident.
After all, even a healthy person like Kayla nearly lost her life after having arsenic.
As for Emmeline, she was heavily injured, so she definitely could not survive gastric lavage. From this point, she guessed that the culprit was very likely to be the first group of people who knock her down with their car last time. They were the only ones who were eager to kill her.
As for the second group of people, it was obvious that they wanted to capture her alive.
Although it had been so long, Emmeline still didn't know who that group of people was.
However, it didn't matter. Since they couldn't hold themselves back from harming her, they would reveal themselves sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Emmeline finally felt at ease. Then, she asked Yunne to bring her to Jara.
After contemplating for quite some time, she realized that it was better to work with Jara.
If the poisoning didn't take place today, she could still proceed with her original plan.
But now, the other side had taken action. If she went out alone, they would definitely be dubious.
After all, everyone knew that the Festival of Lights was a celebration where couples went out for a date.
By that time, the streets would be full of couples. At first, when Jara left the castle this morning, she thought she could fool them into thinking that Jara was busy, which was why he didn't come along with her.
In this way, it was reasonable for her to go out alone.
However, Jara had returned to the castle. If she went out without him, then her reason would no longer be believable.
After all, if the two of them were in a relationship, Jara would definitely accompany her.
It wouldn't make sense if he let her go out alone on such a special day.
Therefore, she really needed his cooperation to put on a perfect show with her.
However, to Emmeline's surprise, Jara was already standing at the passageway between Tower B and the main building.
At that moment, he was expressionless.
It was as if Kayla's poisoning was not important to him at all.
For a while, Emmeline fell into a dilemma. However, in the end, she thought that she should focus on the important stuff.
Since she had decided to forget about those unnecessary affections, there was no need for her to have a cold war with him.
Thus, she pushed her wheelchair forward and approached him magnanimously. "Jara, I would like to speak with you."
Clearly, Jara's appearance was not a pure coincidence.
After responding with a nod, he uttered, "Well, I also have something to tell you."
It seemed like the two of them happened to have the same thought.
Meanwhile, Yunne, who had been watching this scene from behind, sighed inwardly.
She thought that Kayla should see how well Jara and Emmeline interlinked with each other.
Besides, the rest of the people around them seemed to be redundant.
Yunne had a keen eye. Hence, when Jara appeared, she silently retreated to the side and let Emmeline have some time with him alone.
With that, Jara walked to Emmeline's back and pushed her wheelchair.
On the other hand, Emmeline was immersed in her thoughts.
When would her weak body completely recover?
According to Doctor Cooke, there were still two months left.
In two months, she could've accomplished a lot of things.
In fact, if it weren't for her current condition, she wouldn't stay in the castle and go through all kinds of unfair situations.
According to her personality, she might have left a long time ago. Then, regardless of anything, she would attack all her enemies and put an end to them.
But now, she couldn't.
She couldn't be willful, not because she was afraid of death. If she really died, who would avenge Keira?
In fact, she was living at the expense of Keira's life.
Because of her, her only relative and her most beloved younger sister had died miserably during her most beautiful years.
