The bodyguard hesitated, whip poised in the air.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I nced at Andrew and added, “Stop beating her for now.


    I want to hear her out.


    ”


    Andrew looked uncertain but asked cautiously, “You aren’t going soft, are you?”


    I replied, my voice steely, “Of course not.


    I just want to be sure.


    If she truly poisoned Abby, I will kill her myself!”


    At my words, Andrew signaled for the bodyguards to step back.


    Debra’s POV:


    Regaining herposure, Nora forced a bitter smile and continued watching Abby.


    Seeing Abby sleep peacefully, she softened and whispered, “Thank God.


    Abby is okay.


    ”


    Hearing this sent a shiver down my spine.


    “You have poisoned Abby.


    How can you say she’s fine? Do you expect me to trust you?”


    Nora gave a sorrowful smile, furrowed her brow, and replied, “Believe it or not, I didn’t poison Abby.


    I would protect her, even at the cost of my own life.


    ”


    “Really?” I scoffed.


    I didn’t believe her one bit.


    “If I had intended to harm Abby, why would I have waited until now?”


    Nora said each word carefully, still looking tenderly at Abby.


    “I look after Abby every day.


    If I wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have survived this long.


    ”


    Looking into Nora’s eyes, filled with pain and despair, I found myself hesitating.


    Indeed, Nora had always cared for Abby well.


    I could sense her genuine affection for Abby, and I couldn’t see why she would harm Abby.


    What could have made her do that? What reason could she possibly have to poison a child only a few months old?


    I was both furious and confused.


    Part of me even wanted to let her exin herself.


    With a serious expression, I kept asking, “If you didn’t poison the baby’s milk powder, then who did?”


    Nora shook her head in despair.


    “I don’t know.


    Andrew had me confined in a dark dungeon for so long.


    I don’t know what happened.


    It’s my fault.


    If I had been there for Abby, she wouldn’t have been harmed.


    ”


    As she spoke, she knelt before me and bowed her head deeply to the floor.


    Soon, there was blood on her forehead.


    I was shocked and whispered, “Stop this.


    Calm down and just speak your mind.


    Hurting yourself won’t help anything.


    ”


    Realizing the coldness and anger in my voice, Nora paused ufortably and whispered, “I’m sorry.


    I got too carried away.


    I hope I didn’t scare the baby, did I?”


    Abby moved in my arms and let out a small groan.
