Alongside his anger, Orion felt a sharp pang of guilt. His parents had once suggested sending Hope to a welfare home, but he had wanted to keep her because he liked her as a sister. But what he had brought into their home wasn’t a sister, it was someone who could kill.
“Get out! Go far away. I never want to see you again!” he shouted, pushing her away when she tried to grab his sleeve. She fell to the ground, landing heavily.
Mrs. Watson stepped out of the kitchen holding a cake, and when she saw the scene, she started to go over to help Hope.
But before she could get too close, she heard Orion snap, “Stop pretending to be pitiful. You’re so fake and disgusting. You poisoned my sister, and you think I’d feel sorry for you?”
Mrs. Watson froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Poison?
She looked at Hope, unable to connect the idea of poisoning with this small child who barely came up to her waist. How could someone so young do something so cruel?
Then, out of the corner of her eye, Mrs. Watson spotted the cake on the table and remembered how Hope had been asking for sweets lately.
Suddenly, it all clicked into place. “Hope, so you didn’t really want sweets. You just wanted to get rid of me. And to think, I just thought you were a kid with a sweet tooth. I couldn’t understand why you didn’t eat much of the tarts I made yesterday!”
A cold sweat ran down her back. If Nina hadn’t caught Hope in the act, she would have continued baking, thinking Hope was just a child with innocent cravings.
Hope quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. She couldn’t take back what she had just let slip.
Nina didn’t respond to Hope. She kept her gaze fixed on Nash. “Then that’s what we’ll do. The Yorubaland embassy isn’t far from here. Even if she won’t speak, they can find her entry records. She came by plane, so they’ll have that information.”
The investigation might be a bit more complicated, but it was still better than keeping Hope here. Just the sight of her filled Nina with a deep sense of unease, and it hurt that she couldn’t do anything about it. That feeling was the hardest part to endure.
With a heavy thud, Hope dropped to her knees, the impact hard enough to bruise. But she didn’t care about the pain.
Desperately, she begged, “Please, let me stay. Don’t send me back. If you send me back, I’ll die. I really will.”
