Day Forty-Seven...
~~*****~~
"What proof?" The private nurse questioned her with a challenge. But deep inside, she was already anxious. She didn't know what kind of evidence Abigail would be presenting to the group.
But as long as Abigail couldn't present concrete proof, she would deny the accusation. If she would keep her mouth shut regarding Madam Lu's involvent, she knew that her employer got her back. She won't betray Madam Lu. She could even bla this on soone or Abigail, herself. The nurse was quick to think of an alternative move.
anwhile, Abigail moved to her chair and picked up the folder. She showed the docunt to Madam Priyanshi who was standing next to her.
"Auntie, I had those pills examined. Grandpa, rember yesterday? I knocked your dicine down so that you won't be fed by those pills. I picked them up and brought them to the dical facility owned by Nathan. We have them checked regarding the components of the dicine." Abigail started to narrate what happened yesterday.
"Grandpa, this nurse is in collusion with soone to make you sick."
"Oh my God, Abigail! You are such an actress. What kind of drama you are cooking this ti?" Amara insulted her. She didn't get why Abigail was making such a ruckus tonight.
"Amara, keep quiet. Let's listen to Abigail's explanation!" Old Master Yan reprimanded Amara for butting in.
anwhile, Madam Lu felt so tense already. Her fingers were sweating and she was uneasy in her seat. 'Damn it! What should I do? I hope my na will not be ntioned here.'
Madam Priyanshi read the report. She didn't understand it so she passed it to their family doctor. The doctor gasped and was surprised when he saw the report.
"The report says that the pills are pseudo... or in layman's terms, fake. This pill cannot treat the cause of the symptoms or speed recovery of the patient." The doctor inford them. Then he gazed at the nurse with a deep frown on his face. "Why did you do this? You have been giving my patient... the wrong dicine? No wonder his condition didn't improve even a little!"
The doctor despised such an evil sche. He thought it was his fault that his patient couldn't get better.
"I don't know where did she get that. She is slandering . I have nothing to do with these dicines!" Nurse Mae feigned innocence.
They darted their gaze back and forth between Abigail and Nurse Mae. So were not convinced about Abigail's accusation. They also worried that Abigail would try to put the bla on them. Who wanted to harm the Patriarch?!
Abigail rolled her eyes skyward. She was not yet done with the revelation. She picked up a recorder from her pocket and started to play it in front of everyone. Two female voices were heard. And everyone recognized who were the people talking to each other in the recorder. It was a conversation between Nurse Mae and Madam Lu.
[ Nurse Mae: "Madam Lu, why did you summon here?" ]
[ Madam Lu: "We have a change of plan. That woman will be staying in the mansion starting tomorrow. Be careful around her. She might notice sothing. Furthermore, monitor her every move and report it to ." ]
.....
Abigail continued playing the recorder. Madam Lu and Nurse Mae were shaken when they heard their own voices. How could that be possible?!
When Madam Lu recovered from her shock, she dashed forward, snatching the recorder from Abigail.
"What is the aning of this? Why do you have my voice?" Madam Lu masked her guilt with her anger. She would never admit that she was the one in the recording!
"Brother! Don't believe her. She just wants to ruin . This is fake!" Madam Lu turned to her brother, asking for his help.
"Are you mad at because I accused you of being the third party in the relationship between Nadia and Richard?" Madam Lu wanted to play a victim here as she feigned innocence.
Old Master Yan was staring at her with an indescribable expression. They couldn't figure out what he was thinking at this mont.
Nurse Mae didn't know what to do anymore. No one would believe her especially now that they heard the recordings.
'Damn it! This woman ca prepared tonight!' Nurse Mae and Madam Lu were cursing Abigail in their minds.
"You can examine the recordings. I can't fake the voices there." Abigail nonchalantly said. "I can give everyone a copy. You can send it to the expert to analyze it."
"I'll sue you for this! I'll sue you!" Madam Lu burst out, pointing her finger at Abigail. Her husband ca over to hold her. It was so embarrassing to see his wife acting like a mad woman.
No one among the Yan Family spoke up to defend or support Madam Lu. She kept ntioning the law.
It did not take long before Nathan made a grand entrance into the dining hall. It was a grand entrance because he was escorted by several n in uniform. He brought the cops.
His arrival diverted everyone's attention. Madam Priyanshi approached them.
"What is the aning of this? Why did you bring the police here?" Madam Priyanshi asked Nathan.
But the officer-in-charge answered Madam Priyanshi's question on Nathan's behalf.
"Madam Patel, we are here to invite Madam Lu to our precinct..."
"Huh? Why ?! You should bring this woman! Instead of ! She is the one slandering !!!" Madam Lu's voice was so loud as she yelled at the police officer. She couldn't believe that this was happening.
"We are also here to arrest Nurse Mae. We received a complaint against her. And regarding Madam Lu... we have a warrant arrest for her for inciting the murder attempt of Miss Abigail Scarlett. We caught the culprit and he confessed that Madam Lu hired him to kill Abigail Scarlett."
"WHAT?!" Madam Lu's face turned pale. She felt like her soul left the earth when she heard that. "No way! No way! This can't be happening!"
"Honey! Brother! Priyanshi... please listen to . Don't let them arrest . They will kill !" Her panic-stricken voice echoed in the entire dining hall.
Amara and her father didn't know how they would react. Even the mbers of the Yan Family were shocked by this turn of events.
"If you didn't do anything wrong, then you have nothing to be afraid of. If you are falsely accused then the truth will co out. Go with them!" Old Master Yan finally spoke up. His voice was as cold as the winter snow. He even avoided looking at his younger sister.
The police imdiately captured Nurse Mae and escorted Madam Lu. Amara and Madam Lu's husband just followed them. He made sure to call their best attorney who would defend Madam Lu.
When the family of three left together with the police, the dining hall was engulfed by deafening silence. This was one hellish night for the Yan Family. The revelation was very shocking!
Madam Priyanshi and Old Master Yan didn't know what to say to Abigail. Even Abigail was clueless about the police and the arrest warrant against Madam Lu.
"Is it true? Madam Lu is the mastermind behind my accident?" Abigail asked Nathan.
"Yes. We got the culprit. He was handed to the police. He confessed to his cri."
