“Let me check. Is the wound severe?” Zachary reached out his hand to take off Cynthia’s mask.
Cynthia immediately avoided him while taking a few steps back. ”I’ve not taken out the needle. My look is terrible now. I don’t want to startle you.”
“It’s all right. No matter how your look becomes, you’re the prettiest in my eyes.” Zachary uttered gently, “Please let me have a look. If it’s serious, I’ll ask Raina to come to treat you right away.”
“There’s no need for that. Really. I look hideous now…” Cynthia shook her head insecurely while signing.
“Cynthia, please take it off and show it to Zachary.”
Taylor stepped toward her abruptly and swiftly took off her mask.
At that instant, everyone in the room was shocked upon seeing Cynthia’s face. They did not expect it would be so severe.
“How could this be?” Henry was befuddled. “Was the needle poisoned?”
Spencer took a closer look and said, “It must be.”
Cynthia lowered her head with embarrassment, covering her face with her hands.
“The Lindberg family expertise in poisons, and Danrique is a master in dealing with poison.” Taylor uttered emotionally, “First, they poisoned Ellie, and then they used a poisonous snake to bite Zachary. Now, they pierced Cynthia with a poisonous needle. This is outrageous!”
Spencer cut a side glance at him without saying anything.
“I didn’t know Charlotte had become so inhuman.” Henry was trembling incessantly with rage. “Zachary, do you see that? That woman can’t be trusted.”
“Does Mr. Blackwood mean this needle belongs to Charlotte?” Zachary observed Cynthia’s face. “I don’t recall she owns something like this. But Cynthia is the one who has always been using needles.”
“The needle is not Ms. Blackwood’s.”
