Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39
The doctor continued, “Some leftover food was flushed out of Young Master Gregory’s stomach earlier and we found that it was mixed with some drugs. That kind of drug is extremely unique. There is no problem in taking it alone, but if it is mixed with liquids such as juice, milk, or soup, it will secrete toxic substances. Of course, as the amount of the drug ingested by the young master is not very large combined with the quick treatment, there will be no major damage. However, a heavy dosage of this drug will most probably damage his intestines, leading to dire consequences.”
Hearing this, Stefania was at once furious. “Drug? How did he even ingest the drug?”
Nicholas’ expression was even darker to the point where it was terrifying. His gaze was so icy that it froze on the spot and his voice sounded like it was coming from the depths of hell as he asked, “Andrew, who brought the juice to Greg this afternoon?”
Andrew was trembling while his heart threatened to leap out of his throat. That juice was squeezed from fruits by himself, so there was naturally no problem with it. As for the person who sent it… His timid gaze turned toward Roselle.
Roselle felt terrified; if she waited for Andrew to point her out, it would be the same as an accusation. Hence, she immediately stood up and said indifferently, “Nicholas, I sent Greg the juice, but I swear | didn’t do anything to him.”
Yana quickly spoke up to help her daughter. “Nicholas, Roselle likes children and you know that. She has brought so many gifts to Greg, so how could she have drugged him?”
Then, her eyes eagerly turned to Stefania. “Stefania, you know Roselle’s character well. No matter who it was who harmed Greg, it can never be Roselle.”
Stefania didn’t say anything. Since this matter had concerned her precious grandson, she would not jump to conclusions.
Nicholas ignored Yana but instead turned to Roselle. “Miss Gingham, why did you bring Greg juice?”
Roselle’s face changed slightly, but she tried to keep her voice as calm as possible as she answered, “Nicholas, please don’t think too much. Miss Reinhart was teaching Gregory again at that time, so I just helped Andrew to bring them the juice. This way, I could check out Greg’s learning progress. However, when I entered the room, there was only Miss Reinhart in it. At that time, I had a few words with her and asked her to concentrate on teaching Gregory. After that, because the class had to continue, I left the room.”
After Roselle coolly said this, it was clear what she meant. These words clearly hinted that the suspect who had drugged Gregory was. Tessa!
Hearing that, Yana narrowed her eyes. In a sharp voice, she commented, “I knew it. How could Miss Reinhart, an outsider, treat Gregory so well for no reason? It turns out that she has bad intentions! Stefania, this matter is about Greg, so you can’t just let it go! That woman is so cruel that she could bear to harm a child. It really shows how dark her heart is. You can’t let such a person stay by Greg’s side anymore!”
Stefania’s face darkened and her expression became extremely ugly. She only had just one precious grandson and she already felt agonized at the little boy’s minor discomfort from time to time. This time, something terrible almost happened to Gregory, so she felt even more heartache and anger. No matter who the culprit was, she would make them pay the price when she discovered who the mastermind was.
Then, Stefania looked anxiously at Nicholas and asked in a cold voice, “Nicholas, what’s up with that teacher? Before you brought her over, didn’t you check her information? Is this woman’s background bad?”
