Now pregnant with Wesley’s child, she’d married the eldest son of the Wilkinson family.
Her life was nothing short of a reversal.
He showed no expression. “Leave now if you dislike it here.”
Patience wasn’t his virtue.
Larissa bit her lip, not daring to speak further.
Noah was eating nearby with Cecilia by his side. Fang Tian sat on Noah’s other side, the little girl’s eyes filled with clear and innocent light.
“Miss Cecilia, is this your son?”
Cecilia gave her a gentle smile. “Yes.”
“He’s so adorable, and so well–behaved.”
“Do you like children, Miss Fang?”
Fang Tian nodded vigorously. “I love kids! Actually, I work as a preschool teacher.”
Her smile was as sweet as her name.
Cecilia thought highly of her.
The two chatted casually.
After finishing his meal, Noah wanted to y outside. Fang Tian

immediately volunteered to apany him.
Cecilia gave a few instructions before letting them go.
About five minutester, Fang Tian returned with Noah.
Noah still had a lollipop in his mouth.
Assuming Fang Tian had given it to him, Cecilia didn’t pay much attention. But the next second, Noah suddenly copsed on the ground.
“Noah!”
Cecilia gasped, nearly sliding off her chair as she knelt to lift Noah.
“Noah, wake up.”
Noah’s eyes remained tightly shut, his face turning ashen.
Unconscious.
At the hospital, Noah was rushed into the emergency room.
Cecilia’s legs gave way, and Luciano helped her into a chair.
Soon, a doctor emerged asking, “The child’s been poisoned. What did he eat?”
Cecilia’s vision darkened. “Poisoned?”
She’d eaten almost everything Noah had. How could it be poison?
“It was a lollipop.”
Cecilia sprang up, frantic. “He ate a lollipop.”
She turned to Fang Tian, her tone sharp. “Miss Fang, where did Noah

get that lollipop?”
Fang Tian’s face paled, tears welling in her eyes.
“Uncle Wesley gave it to him.”
“What Uncle Wesley?”
“I went to the restroom. When I came back, he had a lollipop. Noah said Uncle Wesley gave it to him,” the girl stammered urgently.
Eldridge gritted his teeth. “Wesley. How vile–poisoning a child!”
Cecilia swayed, nearly copsing.
Wesley gave Noah the lollipop that poisoned him.
Johan frowned. “We’re only guessing it’s the lollipop. Nothing’s confirmed.”
Larissa chimed in coldly, “Exactly. Who knows what else he sneaked? Served him right.”
Luciano called his men to find the lollipop and bring it to the hospital.
Test results confirmed the lollipop was poisoned.
Cecilia dug her nails deep into her palm, voice trembling with fury. “Call the police. Now.”
She would make whoever hurt Noah pay. Dearly.
Fortunately, the poison on that lollipop wasn’t lethal, and Noah was out of danger.
Cecilia had kept vigil most of the night.
She’d just stood to stretch when a woman’s shrill voice echoed down

the hallway, “Where’s Cecilia? Get out here!”
It was Amelia.
Not wanting to disturb Noah, Cecilia stepped out.
Her expression was icy, utterly devoid of warmth as she faced Amelia.
Amelia swung without warning, her palm cracking against Cecilia’s cheek. “Cecilia! How dare you frame Wesley!”
Luciano blocked Amelia’s path, his tone frigid. “Whether it’s a frame job or not, the police will determine.”
Amelia pointed a trembling finger at Cecilia, spitting venom. “Our Wesley donated bone marrow to save Noah’s life! Why would he harm the boy? You’ve clearly found someone better and now you’re
trampling all over Wesley’s sincerity!”
Just hours earlier, Wesley had been escorted away by police.
Though hiswyer arrived swiftly, the scandal remained.
For Amelia, whose reputation meant everything, this humiliation was unbearable.
Cecilia turned to re–enter the room, dismissing the confrontation. “The investigation will reveal the truth.”
Amelia’s chest heaved with rage. “You heartless viper! That son of yours deserved to die!”
Wesley was her lifelong pride and hope,
And now Cecilia had thrown him behind bars.
She was unraveling.

Cecilia suddenly turned around and stared fiercely at Amelia, “What did you say?”
Amelia spat venomously, “I said Noah is a jinx, he deserved to die. Wesley shouldn’t have saved him back then, that ungrateful wretch. Just die already.”
Cecilia trembled with rage. She walked up to Amelia in a few steps, her eyes sharp as knives.
“Fine, then I’ll tell you, I won’t let Wesley off. I’m going to make him pay.”
“Just wait for him to be ruined.”
Amelia clutched her chest, almost fainting.
“You little bitch, how dare you.”
Cecilia had already entered the ward, her chest aching with anger, tears streaming down.
She had just reported that someone poisoned him, and the police found Wesley and took him away. That’s why Amelia said those vicious things.
Wasn’t she afraid that all this woulde back to bite her son?
Luciano came in, looking heartbroken at the frail Noah on the hospital bed. Heforted Cecilia.
