Katy couldn’t help but ask gingerly, “Don’t be so negative. Mr. Bissel cares a lot about you. After he learned you got poisoned, he ordered his men to question everyone in the castle.”
However, this time, Bella did not concur with her.
She thought to herself, “Felix isn’t doing this for me.”
“The poison was clearly prepared for Queeny.”
“I snatched her cereal so she dodged a bullet.”
“If Felix really cared about me, why wasn’t he here waiting for me to wake up?”
Katy was the only one in the room looking after her. Even Donald was not there to help.
For the first time, Bella felt this room that she always thought was not large enough had suddenly become too spacious.
As she saw the empty room, her heart was empty, too.
Nonetheless, she smartly covered up her despondency and dolefulness.
She then turned to Katy and said, “I’m fine. Don’t cry. I’m a little hungry. Can you go to the kitchen and bring me some food?”
Katy nodded and said, “I’m on it.”
Yet, because Bella was too weak to have regular food. Thus, Katy cooked some bland porridge and brought it upstairs.
Bella might not be a real princess, but she had grown up in a well-loaded family. She had never had such tasteless porridge.
Seeing the bowl of porridge, she frowned. But then, as if something occurred to her, she gave in and began to eat the porridge.
As for Queeny, she had been staying in her room after lunch.
She had understood that the poison was for her.
Surprisingly, she acted as if this was not her concern anyway. Though she clearly knew that someone attempted to kill her, she still seemed as cool and collected as always.
Her life was not perturbed by this incident at all.
Noticing this, the other servants in the castle all began to suspect if there was something wrong with her.
Yet, Queeny knew very well that she was perfectly fine.
She was just a little taken aback. She had thought that her enemies wouldn’t take action. However, they did. And they even sneaked into the castle to make this move.
Now she had two questions.
First, since there were two forces that tried to harm her last time, which one did it this time?
Second, how did they do it?
After Bella was poisoned at noon, Felix immediately checked the surveillance footage.
. Other than Gina, the cook, several others had also been in the kitchen.
Come to think of it, whoever did this might not have to put the poison in the kitchen.
He or she could just put it in the bowl that held the cereal, or the water.
In that case, the clue led to nowhere.
As for the first question, it was even harder to figure it out.
The person who did this had not been found yet. How could they know who on earth wanted her dead so bad?
Nevertheless, Queeny had learned something useful from this incident.
The white arsenic was deadly toxic. Even Bella, who was healthy, almost died after taking the poison.
Queeny was still injured. Her body certainly couldn’t withstand being poisoned, let alone a stomach pump. Hence, it was likely to be the first force, the one who hit her with a car. They look like they would use such simple and brutal means to kill her.
The second force, on the other hand, clearly wanted to catch her alive.
