One Meet By Chance

Chapter 458 Food Poisoning

"Knock, knock, knock." Teresa stretched out her hand and knocked on Harris's door. Both Harris and Lydia turned to Teresa at the same time.

"Oh, it's Teresa. Come on in."

Lydia waved at Teresa, but Harris just snorted and turned his head to the other side. He didn't want to see Teresa at all.

"Dad, you haven't eaten much tonight. I asked the kitchen to make egg custard for you. You should eat some. I put it here. You two can continue talking."

Teresa smiled and turned around to leave. Seeing her receding figure and the steaming egg custard in front of them, Lydia raised her head, pouted and looked at Harris with grievance.

"Uncle Harris, did Teresa hear what we said just now? She won't think too much, will she?"

"Well, I'm just telling the truth. She can think whatever she likes."

Harris's face was full of disdain. In fact, Teresa hadn't gone far yet. She turned her head slightly. No wonder her dad and Uncle Gavin asked her to be careful of Lydia before.

Her skill of pretending to be pitiful and cute was not popular for a long time. If it weren't for her face, Harris wouldn't have been attracted by her appearance.

How dare she tell her "come on in"? This was the Shen Family. As a guest here, did she really take it as her own home?

And she was treated as an outsider. Although she hated Enrique, she didn't hate everyone here, especially her father, who was nice to her. However, since the appearance of Lydia, their family seemed to have fallen into a strange atmosphere.

After Teresa returned to her room, Enrique had already taken a shower. Leaning against the desk, he was looking at something. When Teresa came in, he turned his head.

"Where have you been?"

"Dad hasn't eaten much tonight. I asked the kitchen to make egg custard for him."

Enrique looked at Teresa carefully, trying to find something on her face, but it seemed that there was really nothing. Was she too good at camouflage or he was the only one she was against and hated in this family?

"Are you ready for tomorrow's dress? If you are not ready, I'll take you to buy some clothes tomorrow when I'm free."

"No, thanks. I already have one."

Enrique turned his head and didn't look at Teresa anymore. Teresa went to the bathroom to take a shower and dry her hair. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she heard a quick knock on the door. When Teresa opened the door, it was Mandy's anxious face outside.

"Mr. Ryan, Mrs. Teresa, something's wrong. Mr. Harris keeps vomiting."

With a stride, Enrique pushed Teresa away and walked towards Harris's room. At the same time, Teresa frowned and had a bad feeling.

In the evening, only she sent egg custard to him. So? She also ran quickly towards Harris's room.

At this moment, Harris was lying on the bed. There was still a smell of egg custard in the room, but it was unpleasant to smell. With tearful eyes, Lydia was sitting in a wheelchair, looking very helpless. Seeing that Enrique was coming, she reached out and grabbed his hand.

"Enrique, Uncle Harris he..."

"It's okay. I'm here."

As soon as Teresa arrived, she heard the words of Enrique. She sneered in her heart. When Teresa looked at the weak Harris on the bed, her face darkened and she walked forward.

"Father, are you okay?"

"Get out. You vicious woman."

Harris took the teacup beside him and threw it at Teresa. Fortunately, he vomited much just now and did not have too much strength left. The teacup only hit Teresa, and the tea water in it wet her shins. She smiled bitterly and silently retreated. If she didn't go out, she was afraid that Harris would be more and more unstable.

"Dad, are you going to the hospital?"

Harris waved his hand. His stomach was aching. It seemed that it didn't matter now.

"Have you called Dr. Liang?"

Dr. Liang, their Shen Family's doctor. Mandy nodded. She had called Dr. Liang when Harris was not feeling well. Now he was probably on the way. As expected, Dr. Liang came ten minutes later with a medicine box.

"What's wrong?"

Dr. Liang asked about the situation and had a check-up. Then he took out a yellow pill from the medicine box.

This yellow pill were sold in ordinary pharmacies. This kind of pill seemed very cheap, and it was effective in clearing heat and detoxifying. Harris took the medicine and slowly fell asleep.

Everyone left Harris's room. Teresa stood outside the door with an anxious look on her face. Without looking at her, Enrique turned to the family doctor. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Mr. Harris was poisoned. I checked the rest of the food he ate just now. Except for the slightly poisoned herbs juice in the egg custard, there was nothing else in any other thing."

"You mean the egg custard is poisonous? But the egg custard is..."

Lydia wanted to say something, but she suddenly stopped. She looked at Teresa in disbelief. Teresa sneered, 'Well, it's really a good plan, but unfortunately, what poison is it? I can't know any herbs at all. My major is jewelry design, okay?'

Speaking of the knowledge about herbs, didn't Lydia, who always said that she came from the countryside, have a greater suspicion? What's more, she put down the egg custard and went out, leaving only Lydia and Harris in the room.

"Please stay here tonight."

"No problem."

"Mandy, prepare a guest room for Dr. Liang."

At eleven o'clock, Teresa and Enrique went back to their room. Teresa was even ready to be punished. No matter what happened, she thought she should bear it. She was so careless and she didn't listen to Uncle Gavin's advice. In this way, it was impossible for her to go back to Gu Family temporarily.

If she went back to Gu Family at this time, she would probably know the news that she poisoned Harris when she came back. She'll get this unwarranted charge.

She would never take the responsibility for what she didn't do. She had to find it out. Anyway, she was quite sure who had done it. It was a simple matter for her to gather the evidence.

She waited for a long time, but Enrique didn't do anything to her, nor did he beat, scold or threaten her. She looked at him in disbelief, but saw him lying on the bed and looking at her. Enrique reached out his hand and patted the position beside him to Teresa.

Her heart sank. What she feared most was to be treated in this way by Enrique. There would be a banquet tomorrow. She slowly moved to the bed and sat down.

Lying on the bed, she could feel the breath of Enrique. She closed her eyes slowly, waiting for a violent storm. However, Enrique didn't do anything and she heard his even breathing.
