The Luna Queen's Rebirth (Ellie and Dominic) novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273

“Do you believe it?” I asked.

Dominic shrugged. “I think, if you really want someone, it doesn’t matter what you eat. You’ll still want them.”

I blushed a little, despite my best efforts not to, at the meaningful look in his eyes. We fell silent after that for a few moments. I swirled my drink in my glass and looked around, watching as the singer moved to the piano and began to play a simple, quiet melody.

Just then, my phone buzzed in my purse. I peeked inside to see Sarah’s name lighting up the screen.

“Who’s that?” Dominic asked, leaning over.

Immediately, my mind went to the test regarding the knife. I grabbed my purse and quickly stood. “No one. I’ll be right back.”

Before he could respond, I shimmied out of the booth and hurried toward the bathrooms. There was a line, so stopping off to the side in the narrow, dimly lit hallway, I pulled out my phone and answered.

“Hello?”

“Ellie,” Sarah’s voice came through. “You busy?”

“Not really. What’s up?”

“I finished testing that knife you gave me.” She paused, and I straightened a little, preparing myself. “There was no wolfsbane toxin on it. There was nothing, actually. It’s just a knife.”

I bit my lip, thinking about that. In my past life, it was not the stab wound that took my life, but the toxin. Back then, I’d thought that the toxin was applied to the knife by the assassin. But then, in this life, he’d seemed so confused when I brought it up. Like he’d never even heard of it before.

Now, I knew there was a reason for that.

The assassin hadn’t applied the toxin to the knife. Which meant that it was very likely the toxin had been administered after the wound in my past life.

But… how? And by whom?

“Ellie?” Sarah’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “You still there?”

“Uh… Yeah.” I blinked and leaned against the wall. “I’m just… thinking.”
