The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1922

Chapter 1922 Twin Sister

She was executing her plan the other day in the kitchen, spiking the soup with a drug that would cause major damage to the nerves.

Sheba never thought that James would sneak into the kitchen for food in the middle of his study.

Thus, he witnessed what she was doing.

James was initially confused by what she was doing, so he asked her about it.

However, Sheba panicked. She tried to lie to James. Alas, James was a smart boy. He did not believe what she said, and he decided to tell his parents about it.

Sheba became frantic, and she quickly ran after him to stop him.

James was a child, after all. He thrashed in her grip and screamed. Sheba pinned him down, but he kicked her in response, making her stumble backward.

At that moment, Yennefer and Jones returned. That was how they watched Sheba lose her balance and fall into the deep well.

Perhaps Sheba had knocked her head on her way down and passed out, for she sunk without even getting the chance to scream.

Jones and Yennefer hastily tried to save her, but it took them forever and a day to get her out of the well.

By then, it was too late. Sheba was dead.

James never expected that to happen. His father beat him terribly despite how he tried to tell him again and again about what he saw. Ultimately, they found evidence of his aunt's attempted poisoning in the kitchen.

The loss of her sister and the revelation of Sheba's plan broke Yennefer. Her mental breakdown led to a terrible period of illness, and she was in a coma for half a month.

When Yennefer woke again, she was no longer quite the same.

The trauma made her manic.

She would act exactly like her younger sister, Sheba Thompson, whenever she was in one of her episodes.
