Le''s endearingly sweet words satisfied Melissa. The pleasure radiated from the olddy''s face as

she nced at Sheryl sternly, and then shifted her gaze back to Le. "That''s really nice of you, Le. If
you hadn''te to visit me, I might still have a headache. You''re the first person that has ever been so
gracious and good to me. Unfortunately, someone only seeds in upsetting me," she said with a sigh.
Melissa''s insulting words towards Sheryl brought much delight to Le, who was more than happy to
see Sheryl get bullied.
In response to Melissa''s rude words, Sheryl simply smiled.
Sheryl''s response disappointed Melissa. She then pointed to the tea in front of Le and said, "Here,
Sheryl made it for you. Please have some tea. I hope you''ll like it."
Le''s heart jolted. The moment she feared the most finally arrived.
After spending several years in prison, she finally learned how to cherish life. At this point, she was
more scared of death than ever before. However, to put Sheryl down, she was forced to drug herself.
She wasn''t sure if she had made the right decision.
''Is it really a good idea to put my life in the hands of others? I mean, what if she fails to send me to the
hospital to get immediate treatment?'' She hesitated for a second.
Melissa noticed the hesitant look on her face. With a smile, she urged, "Le, I got the tea as a present
from one of my good old friendsst year. This tea is difficult to find. Please, try it."
Terrified as she was, Le proceeded to drink the tea.
Later, the two women switched the topic, leaving Sheryl standing there in silence. As a result, she sat
down and watched them quietly.
About half an hourter, Le''s face turned as pale as a white sheet. Her forehead was covered in
beads of sweats; swaying from side to side, she fell down on the couch.
"Aunt Melissa, hurry up! Please, send me to the hospital..." Le said in a weak tone, her face
distorting in pain. The only thing Le could think about, was that she couldn''t die like this. ''I must get
through this somehow. I don''t want to die, '' she told herself.
Melissa giggled on the inside, as she knew that the drug was taking effect. However, she didn''t show it
on her face. She then shouted, pretending as though she was worried, "Le, what''s wrong? Did you
have anything bad to eat?"
Sheryl was startled by the scene disyed in front of her. ''She was fine a minute ago. Howe she
suddenly got sick? Is she faking an illness?'' she wondered with arched eyebrows.
She moved closer to Le and reached out her hand to touch her forehead. However, before she could
touch Le, Melissa interrupted, hitting her hand away. The olddy hollered at Sheryl, "You must have
put something in the tea! Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been poisoned."
''What? Le was poisoned?'' Sheryl''s eyes widened in shock.
Sheryl didn''t even suspect that Le was poisoned. Melissa''s statement left her in immediate panic.
''If Melissa is right, then she needs to be sent to the hospital right this second. Otherwise, her life will be
in grave danger.''
At the thought of this, Sheryl ran towards the table and grabbed her cellphone. She called their
chauffeur and asked him to wait for her at the gate of Dream Garden.
As she ended the call, she dashed back to the couch where Le was lying helplessly. With a panic-
stricken expression, she said to Melissa, "Mom, we need to take Le to the emergency room at the
hospital immediately, before it''s toote."
Upon hearing this, Melissa realized that she forgot something. ''Oh, wait...I remember now. Le told
me to send her to the hospital the moment she loses consciousness or her life will be in danger.
There''s a possibility that she might die!'' she reflected.
Suddenly, a horrible thought dawned upon her.
''If Le dies, I can simply ce all the me on Sheryl. That way, Sheryl would be sentenced to death,
or at least be put behind bars for the rest of her life which is what she deserves. That way, she will
never have the chance to step into my house ever again...''
Melissa was ovee with excitement. The next second, she was caught in an infinite state of
apprehension.
''Although I really hate Sheryl, Le is innocent. She has been good to me, and I already nned for
her to be my future daughter-inw.
No, I can''t do this. I can''t let Le just die, '' she decided.
"You''re right, Sheryl. We need to take her to the hospital right now," Melissa replied in a serious tone.
Sheryl and Melissa worked together to pick Le up from the couch. Sheryl then carried Le to the
gate and Melissa followed.
Walking towards the gate, the chauffeur had just arrived in time. Spotting the threeing his way, he
hurried out of the car, opened the door and sprinted towards Sheryl to help her. He didn''t dare to ask
what happened. He just held Le up with his hands and put her in the back seat of the car. Turning to
Melissa and Sheryl, he waited for their next instruction.
"To the hospital," Sheryl said as she opened the door of the passenger seat. Before she got into the
car, she turned around and said to Melissa, "Mom, please don''t worry about Le. I''ll let you know
when she wakes up."
Examining the extent of the trouble she had caused, Melissa panicked. Hence, she only managed to
nod at Sheryl.
Watching the car speed away, Melissa felt her legs turning numb. She reached out her hand to grab a
hold of the wall.
"Come on, Le, you can''t die now. If something happens to you, I will never forgive myself..." Melissa
muttered. She was extremely agitated. All of a sudden, Nancy''s voice reached her ears.
"Mrs. Lu, what''s wrong? Did something happen?"
Watching the scene from afar, while Nancy was busy gardening in the back yard, she heard the car
drive away. Exiting the gate, she found Melissa standing by herself and muttering in a panic.
''Why did she say that she''d never be able to forgive herself?'' Nancy wondered. She thought that
Melissa was acting rather strange than usual.
Taken by great surprise, Melissa red at the maid fiercely and scolded, "What the hell is wrong with
you? You scared the living life out of me!"
"Oh, I''m so sorry, Mrs. Lu. I called you several times but you didn''t answer me," Nancy apologized.
"Uh...Where did Sher and Miss Zhang go?" she inquired as she looked around, noticing that there was
no sign of anyone else at home.
"Le drank some tea and got poisoned. Both you and Sheryl will be in big trouble if Le doesn''t wake
up," Melissa warned with a stern, dark look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Nancy was astonished and terrified. ''Wait...Howe I''m involved in this?
The tea was poisoned? That''s impossible. I was in the kitchen the whole time to prepare the tea and
didn''t leave it until it was served. No one even had the chance to touch it.
Besides, how did Melissa know that the tea had been poisoned? She isn''t a doctor. How could she
possibly make the assumption that Miss Zhang was poisoned?'' the maid thought doubtfully.
Interrupting her train of thought, she then saw the ferocious look in Melissa''s eyes and didn''t have the
nerve to blurt out her doubts. As a result, she lowered her head and moved aside.
''When Sheryles back, we''ll get to the bottom of what happened. I hope Le will pull through this, ''
she prayed.
In the Lu family''s residence
Melissa had made her way to her bedroom. She couldn''t stop thinking about what she had done, as
she paced back and forth anxiously.
At this point, she was extremely scared. Since Le had been carried into the car, her heart kept
beating fast.
''This time the stakes are way too high. If Le dies in the hospital, the problem will be elevated, '' she
thought.
Melissa never wanted to hurt Sheryl. All she wanted, was for Sheryl to propose a divorce to Charles so
that she didn''t have to be faced with seeing her every day. However, she had never thought that she
would have to sacrifice a person''s life at the expense of achieving her goal.
''I hope Le will make it. More importantly, I hope I manage to kick Sheryl out of my house this time, ''
she pondered whilst praying.
