Chapter 60 It’s All Your Fault
Elias remained silent.
“Is there any difference between saying that and not saying it at all?”
Samantha looked carnestly at Elias and said. “The difference is, if I don’t say it, you won’t know how much I love Finley. But if I do, then you’ll know.”
Elias was left speechless. “You’re right, I won’t argue with that. Of course, I can’t argue anyway. But Samantha, considering how well you treat Finley, let me remind you; don’t test poison with your body. Otherwise, if you die later, no one will be able to save you.”
Samantha was speechless.
“Are you cursing me?”
I am clearly showing concern for her, but why does it turn into me cursing her in her mind?
At this moment, Elias didn’t want to engage with Samantha further. After examining Finley’s body, he advised Samantha, Finley’s current condition is very poor. To prevent another outbreak of the poison in his body, my advice to you is not to agitate him for the time being Otherwise, if he starts coughing up blood again because of your agitation, don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand.”
I wouldn’t agitate him.
I would only protect him.
I hope that he can live well.
So, I will always protect him.
And I won’t let anyone harm him.
After listening to Elias’s words, Samantha nodded at him. As Elias was about to leave, Samantha coughed twice, covering her mouth. Seeing her pale complexion, Elias said, “I’ll prepare the antidote for you and bring it over.”
Samantha nodded and continued to stay by Finley’s side.
With a gentle expression on her face, she raised her hand and placed it on Finley’s face. Seeing the blood on his lips, Samantha got up and went to the bathroom. She fetched a basin of water and gently wiped Finley’s face.
Outside the door, Daphne listened to the entire conversation between Samantha and Elias.
When Elias came out, Daphne quickly pulled him aside and asked, “What kind of poison was Mrs. Dean talking about when she mentioned testing it on herself?”
Looking at the hand gripping his arm tightly, Elias withdrew his arm from Daphne’s grasp before speaking, “Did you hear everything just now?”
Daphne nodded. “I wanted to see what happened to Mr. Dean, but I heard Mrs. Dean saying that she was testing poison on herself for Mr. Dean. Elias, tell me what’s going on?”
Elias down the medical kit in his hand and sighed. Then, he told Daphne everything he had guessed. After hearing it all, Daphne’s eyes filled with a hint of pity. “Such a good wife. I just don’t understand why Mr. Dean keeps pushing her away time and time again.”
Why?
Isn’t it obvious?
Elias said, “This is because Finley knows his time is running out; he doesn’t want to delay Samantha. That’s why he’s trying to drive her away from him. I can understand his psychological struggle of wanting to love but being afraid to love.”
After listening to Elias’s words, Daphne frowned in disdain. “What’s the use of your understanding? Mr. Dean is on the brink of death. Your antidote has been in development for so long and still hasn’t been formulated. If you could have developed the antidote earlier, maybe Mr. Dean wouldn’t have ended up like this with Mrs. Dean.”
So in the end, is it my fault?
I am not the one who poisoned Finley. Isn’t she blaming the wrong person?
