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 involvement, she knew that her employer got her back. She won't betray Madam Lu. She could even blame this on someone or Abigail, herself. The nurse was quick to think of an alternative move.
Meanwhile, Abigail moved to her chair and picked up the folder. She showed the document to Madam Priyanshi who was standing next to her.
"Auntie, I had those pills examined. Grandpa, remember yesterday? I knocked your medicine down so that you won't be fed by those pills. I picked them up and brought them to the medical facility owned by Nathan. We have them checked regarding the components of the medicine." Abigail started to narrate what happened yesterday.
"Grandpa, this nurse is in collusion with someone to make you sick."
"Oh my God, Abigail! You are such an actress. What kind of drama you are cooking this time?" 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.
Meanwhile, 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 name will not be mentioned 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 informed 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 medicine? No wonder his condition didn't improve even a little!"
The doctor despised such an evil scheme. 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 me. I have nothing to do with these medicines!" Nurse Mae feigned innocence.
No one among the Yan Family spoke up to defend or support Madam Lu. She kept mentioning 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 men in uniform. He brought the cops.
His arrival diverted everyone's attention. Madam Priyanshi approached them.
"What is the meaning 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 me?! You should bring this woman! Instead of me! She is the one slandering me!!!" 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 me. Don't let them arrest me. They will kill me!" Her panic-stricken voice echoed in the entire dining hall.
Amara and her father didn't know how they would react. Even the members 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 come 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 immediately 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 crime."
