Millie's pallid countenance underwent a transient suspension. She had never
introduced such a component into her drink.
Bruce, his hands nestled in his pockets, radiated an air of icy restraint, his gaze
piercing and cool.
“A cursory exploration around the villa's periphery has affirmed the existence of a
tripterygium wilfordii near the pool's fringe. It would be prudent to eschew
cultivating such a noxious presence.”
The accessibility of such a venomous botanical specimen could feasibly be
manipulated by malicious hands.
Adjacent to the pool...
Millie retraced the footsteps and engagements of every individual prior to the
incident. It resurfaced in her recollection that Rhea had ventured towards the
poolside, lingering there momentarily.
It appeared that Rhea was the architect behind the extraction of the poisonous
pollen, with its pollen collected and surreptitiously deposited into the drink. A
calculated maneuver, anticipating her own urge for refreshment in place of
alcoholic indulgence.
Furthermore, not a single soul among the group harbored grievances or enmity
towards her, rendering her utterly incapable of conjuring a visage of the
malevolent architect behind this deed.
By the bedside, Marcus stood, his brows knitted in concentration, exuding a
chilliness that sent tremors cascading down observers’ spines.
Assuredly, the doctor placated him, “Mr. Thomas, there's no need for concern.
The toxins in Mrs. Thomas’ system have been purged completely, and a night of
repose will facilitate her convalescence.”
“Gratitude, doctor.” Upon receiving this proclamation, Marcus at last exhaled his
apprehensions
After the physicians departure, Bruce too elected not to prolong his presence,
descending the stairs with celerity.
Sealing the door, Marcus approached Millie, securing a seat by her side. Her
fragile demeanor bore down upon him, and within his gaze brewed a mélange of
resentment and distress.
“Millie, I apologize. I failed in safeguarding you.”
His hand extended, tenderly smoothing the tendrils of Millie’s hair, each motion
infused with the gentlest of caresses.
When Millie faltered, her affliction mirrored in her collapse, and his heart plunged
in tandem.
Each instance of Millie’s emotional oscillation between bliss and despair served
as a taut tether to his own nerves. Beyond a shadow of doubt, a covert architect
had orchestrated the infusion of the pollen into her Libation. Intuition naturally
guided his assessment towards a conceivable culprit, his gaze metamorphosing
into an even more intense conflagration of scrutiny.
