Someone had been poisoning Elijah for a long time, repeatedly!
Tarquin's breathing grew heavy, his lips pressed into a thin line as he asked, "Are you sure there's no mistake?"
Elysia stomped her foot in frustration, "No mistake at all!"
Tarquin was seething, a storm brewing in his eyes. Someone dared to poison Elijah right under his nose, and not just once but repeatedly and over a long period!
The audacity of that person!
And how foolish he had been!
He thought he had protected Elijah well, but what was the result?
Elijah had suffered greatly under his care!
He was failing as a father!
No wonder Elysia looked at him with a mix of pity, guilt, anger, and resentment when she brought the news.
Pity for Elijah, for the repeated harm done to him.
Anger at the perpetrator, furious at whoever was heartless enough to target a child in such a vile manner!
As for the guilt... he was momentarily at a loss for its reason.
But the resentment was definitely directed at him, blaming him for not keeping Elijah safe, for not detecting a single instance of the poisoning!
He deserved the blame!
He owed Elijah an apology!
Tarquin, consumed by anger and self-reproach, clenched his jaw, fighting to keep his raging emotions at bay, as he asked Elysia, "How did they manage it? Elijah undergoes regular check-ups, even Benjamin didn't notice anything out of the ordinary."
