"Bree!" Niall rushed to her side to pick her up. "Get up!" She breathed out and helped her stand on her feet. Bree was shaking like a leaf. Heat was rising up her body and her face was flushed red.
"The p— poison… Dawn made me eat the pasta. I— I don't know why she did that. Did she come to know that there was poison in it?" Bree said in a confused tone. She looked baffled. "Or was this just a chance?"
"Forget about that bitch Bree. You need to relax hon," said Niall as she escorted her out of the bathroom. Together they went to her room, which was located close by.
Bree was so pale that Niall was extremely worried. So she immediately fetched ice-cold water for her. Bree sat on the bed with her back resting on the propped up pillows. The girl who haunted her nightmares of never letting her win had returned. When she had heard that Silver House wanted to hold a tournament there, she had hoped that Dawn wouldn't come, but she showed her face.
Niall watched her face. "Jason is on his way with medicine. Just keep hanging there," she said with concern and poured in more water for her. She saw that her bed sheet was stained now. "You should change into new pants once you feel better and I am getting a pad for you." She got up to do the needful.
After Helena had been sent to the jail, Jason had to disappear. He knew that if he stayed, Helena would eventually crack and his name would also be dragged in the court. He had done so many dirty deeds for Helena including plotting murders that he was sure that they would put him behind the bars. Since he was a neotide, he could easily escape from the prison, but what if they shot at him or worse sentenced him to death by poison. So he vanished from the scene the moment Helena was caught. And the only place he could go was at Niall's.
Niall had come to the Wyatt Golf Course for a job ever since she had been asked never to meet Jason by none other than Helena.
The necklace incident in the jewelry store had irked Lily Wyatt to the extent that she had asked Helena to never let Niall come near them. Though Jason did show on the outside that he had cut off his ties with Niall, he had continued to meet her.
By the time Niall was out of the Wyatt Family, she had quite a few pieces of jewelry that she had managed to siphon off from their jewelry store. She had been using the money by selling it to take care of her family and Jason after he had to hide.
Everything happened because of one bitch—Dawn.
Niall had met Bree in the golf course for the job and over the course of time they came to know about their common hatred for Dawn. Obviously Bree gave the job to Niall immediately. She was now working as her assistant to overlook the maintenance of the greens. When she came to know about the tournament, the three of them—Bree, Jason and Niall—plotted on how to make Dawn suffer. They had one plan after the other to make sure that she went home harmed physically and emotionally.
Their first plan failed miserably with Bree eating the poison intended for Dawn. But how did she find that there was poison in the food?
Niall searched for a pair of clean pants for Bree and brought a pad for her to use. She helped her change and gave her another glass of water. It was important that the poison flushed out of her body.
As soon as Jason had heard that Bree had eaten, he had run to the pharmacy to get the antidote. Since he needed a prescription to get one, he had to steal it by knocking the owner unconscious. He returned to her room as soon as possible and handed the antidote to Niall.
Immediately, Niall took the vial, withdrew the antidote in the syringe and injected it in Bree's arms.
Bree closed her eyes. Her body was sweating and she thought that this was her last. But the antidote started working and she felt better, though her face was deathly pale and her stomach was still aching. When she opened her eyes, she asked, "What do we do now?"
"Have you called Lily Wyatt?" asked Jason. He was gritting his teeth.
"Yes, I have," Bree replied weakly. "I am waiting for her. She should be here any time soon."
"Good!" said Jason. "Her hatred for Dawn Wyatt is going to be our strength." He gazed at Bree closely. "Do you think you can go back in there and fill in Lily's ears more? We need to make this as impactful as possible."
"Of course I can go!" Bree was never more determined. She would make sure that Lily's hatred would show in front of the crowd. "I will tell her that Dawn poisoned me intentionally. It will irk her more."
"Good plan. Tell her that now on the phone," Niall suggested.
"Not a bad idea!" said Bree. Even though she was feeling like shit, she called Lily Wyatt again and told her that Dawn tried to poison her, but she was fine thanks to one of the staff. Bree hadn't revealed to Lily that Niall and Jason were living with her for two months now.
Once she finished talking, she had a twinkle in her eyes.
"What did Lily say?" asked Niall eagerly.
"She said that she is coming there and would be here in another fifteen minutes," Bree replied with a faint smile.
"Awesome!" Jason scoffed. "Now we will see how Dawn deals with the woman like her Grandmother."
"But you look so pale Bree that I think I should apply some makeup on you," said Niall.
"Ah! Okay," Bree said. Niall was very thoughtful and she liked her.
Bree was out of the room fifteen minutes later while Niall sneaked out to the kitchen. As for Jason, he didn't dare to go out of the room with them.
Bree walked to the parking area and waited for Lily Wyatt. The emcee of the tournament was announcing results, which Daryn and Dawn were distributing. The function was about to get over soon and Bree was getting impatient. Why wasn't Lily coming any faster?
It was another twenty minutes and the emcee asked Daryn Silver to give his vote of thanks.
Bree thumped the fist of her right hand in her left palm. She looked at the watch irritably. She shook her head and was about to leave when she saw a sedan pulling in the parking area. She sprinted to the car and opened the door for Lily. "Good afternoon, Ma'am!" she said with a pinched expression. "The function is getting over. We have to hurry if you want to meet Dawn."
Lily Wyatt stepped out of the car. Wearing a grey skirt with a matching shirt, she was carrying a stick with her for support. Her face was cold and she looked frail. "Where is Dawn?" she asked in an emotionless voice.
