Chapter 1845
Debra seemed conflicted, then asked, “I want to join you, can I?”
“No,” I replied firmly, not considering it.
Her expression fell slightly.
Sighing, I explained helplessly, “Abby has just been through an ordeal.
She needs your comfort to feel secure and rest well.
”
Understanding my point, Debra’s expression softened with compassion.
“Okay, I’ll stay and care for her.
”
She gazed affectionately at Abby.
I thanked her, stroking her hair.
After a pause, Debra expressed her concern.
“Please, don’t be harsh with Nora during the interrogation.
She has suffered a lot.
”
I sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation, and reassured her quietly.
“I promise, as long as Nora cooperates, I won’t harm her.
”
Relieved by my assurance, Debra relaxed.
I helped her settle in with our daughter, then left the room quietly.
Upon closing the door, my demeanor changed as I noticed Andrew waiting in the corridor, a serious air between us.
Caleb’s POV:
I frowned, walked over, and asked coldly, “What happened? Why are you here?”
Andrew’s expression was grim.
He said nothing but met my gaze with seriousness.
My irritation grew.
“Was it Nora who poisoned Abby?”
Andrew confirmed without hesitation.
“Yes.
In the past half-month, Nora is the only one from the witch clan who purchased that poison.
”
“Don’t you have enough evidence? Why haven’t you convicted her then?”
I demanded, my anger rising.
Andrew sighed awkwardly.
“The problem is, while we have evidence, we lack a witness.
No matter how I press her, Nora won’t reveal why she harmed Abby.
