Although she had been lying in the hospital bed the entire time, Celeste had already informed her that Hogan was looking into the matter for her.

Hogan glanced at Celeste and nodded. “Your sudden contractions were caused by the cake you ate from that shop.”

“That man injected some herbal medicine into your slice of cake. The herbs aren’t harmful to most people, but for someone who’s pregnant, they can easily cause contractions and, in more serious cases, might even lead to a miscarriage.”

“I've just questioned him. He claims Celeste was the one who gave him the herbal extract and instructed him to inject it into your cake.”

Hearing this, Amara instinctively looked at Celeste.

Celeste’s eyes flew wide open and she shot up from her chair.

“What did you say? You’re accusing me of telling him to drug Amara’s cake? I never did that! Why would you say such a thing?”

She was so panicked that her voice was trembling.

The owner of the dessert shop cast a glance at Celeste and said, “It was you. You gave me the herbal medicine ahead of time and told me to keep watch at the entrance. You said that when the woman in the photo came in to buy a cake, I should inject the medicine into her slice.”

“You even gave me a photo—of this woman right here.”

As he finished speaking, the shop owner pointed at Amara.

Celeste was stunned. “That’s ridiculous! How could I possibly do such a thing? Sure, I asked Amara to meet up today, but she was the one who chose the place...”

She turned to Amara and said, “You were the one who suggested meeting at that dessert shop, right? I didn’t pick the spot—I’d never even been there before.”
