After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 842

Chapter 842

"Miss Vita, you look familiar," Sylvia said as she took the orange Brayden offered her. The sweet and sour taste of the fruit filled her mouth.

"It seems like you've been spending time with Yasmin," Sylvia continued, curious about Vita's activities.

Vita nodded carefully and replied, "I had nothing to do during winter break, so I stayed with Mrs. Wright. We went out shopping for groceries occasionally."

"I see," Sylvia nodded before casually asking, "When did you buy the Abrus precatorius?"

"I think we bought it during the Graley Piano Competition," Vita quickly answered. "We thought it was just regular red beans at first! Who knew it was poisonous?"

"She probably didn't know either," Sylvia sighed. "But did you know?"

Vita's face grew tense as she stared at her feet and replied hesitantly, "I... I couldn't have known. I don't know much about flowers."

Just as she feared that Sylvia would catch on to something suspicious, she heard Sylvia's voice speak up in a soft and alluring tone. "It seems like you really didn't know."

The hospital room fell silent until Cody checked his watch and smiled kindly at everyone present.

"It's almost midnight now; why don't both of you go home?" he suggested to Franklin and Sylvia. "What are you doing sitting here in the hospital? Be good kids."

As soon as Cody finished speaking, Mrs. Wright's fingers twitched slightly while the instruments by her bedside beeped softly.

Sylvia stood up abruptly to look at Mrs. Wright lying on the bed, while everyone else followed suit quietly.
