"we don't know who did this to her lady Marie doesn't eat or drink outside".Brandon said his palms were already sweaty.
"How can you be so sure Brandon".lady Martha said.
"he is a mummy's boy let's not forget".Ellis said mockingly.
"Ellis don't make matters worse".Draco said
"look even if she did it, it was tasted first". Brandon said.
"lady Marie won't forgive us,if we disfigure her face".Beth said in disapproval they knew lady Marie was obsessed with her looks.
"But it's to keep her safe".Timothy said.
"That's too cruel is there no other way out herb man".lord mattews said
"No this type of poison looks dangerous,it's not from this part,I haven't seen anything like this before,if we burn her face she might die". the herb man said.
"look we have to find a way to solve this she is suffering".Brandon said.
"Brandon am really tired I need to rest".Ellis said.
"I will take my leave now I might be needed at the hospital".Bruce said smiling.
"you are not leaving until we find a solution". Brandon said.
"who do you think you are to stop me".Bruce said.
"don't test my patience bruce".Brandon said.
"Brandon if anything happens to me, you know what your mother can do to you".Bruce said.
"mother is currently sick so I am the next in command".Brandon said angrily.
"Brandon is the cause of mother's condition he wants to eliminate her so he takes over everything".Ellis said.
"wow Brandon, mother hasn't died yet you are already claiming rights".Draco said.
"look you all will listen to me or else ........".Brandon said.
"I knew he was a sly fox".Ellis said.
"Is there anyone here who doesn't want lady Marie dead except from lord Matthew, please let's all be real".Beth said.
"Guys I am having a bad headache can you just shut up".thaniel said calmly. then the medicine man used a big leaf to cover lady Marie's face.
"this should help but we need to find the person or else she will die".the herbs man said.
"Wake up light we have to bathe".flair said as she tapped me.
"It's still early".I grumbled.
"Yes it's we have only one bathroom,please I have work to do".flair said.
"okay fine".I said as I stood up.it was raining heavily
"looks like you are still cold and you will have to bathe cold water".flair said.
"I will manage".I said and yawned.
"let's go".she said and I followed her to the backyard. I was so shocked to see the bathroom it was built with wood,it had no roof and it was old. she opened it and we entered.it was small and dirty.
"The person cleaning the bathroom yesterday had no time but she will do it today now hurry up".flair said as she removed her clothes.I couldn't even see properly.
"okay".I said in shock. we bathed, went back to the room, changed.then I lied down.
"Iight I am going to work now".she said. the rain had already stopped.
"okay do you want me do anything for you".I said.
"No don't worry about it,you just rest".she said.
"No I want to help".I said.
"Fine I have been assigned to harvest all the apples".she said.
"okay I will help you out bye".I said and she left.
I woke up later but I was still cold and went to the where the apple trees were. they were much than expected.
"good afternoon my name is Emily".she said she looked really tired and worn out but she was older than me.
"I am light".I said.
"I know take this we don't want another death".she said as she handed me a container.
"Thank you taste it first".I said,I had trust issues.she drank it.
"I must say you are too smart for your age anyways Lady Marie is currently sick,you should go and see your mother-in-law".she said smiling.
"Really that's so bad,I am not going she doesn't want to see me".I said I was trying to control my joy my plan worked.
"Fine I will see you around".Emily said and left. I drank the medicine,it was so bitter after a while I sat down.
"how are you coping".flair said as she came.
"I still have six more trees".I said.
"you know you didn't have to do this".she said as she sat beside me.
"l want to help".I said.
"Emily gave you medicine".flair said as she looked at the empty container.
"Yes and I don't like her".I said.
"she means well ,lady Marie is unwell the family didn't eat breakfast or lunch".flair said.
"is that serious".I said and then she laughed.
"You are a very good actress, there is so much tension in the house they said that it's either a poison or curse".she said.
"I feel really bad for her".I said mockingly.
"Serves her right,but light do you intend to kill her".flair whispered.
"No I don't but I will torture her partner".I said. we both laughed.
"you know I am so happy, Infact everyone is happy that Marie is suffering she has ruined our lives it's only fair that she suffers too". flair said.
"I will avenge Annette's death and the death of innocent people I will make her pay".I said.
"I am in full support,if you need my help I will be there please don't hesitate I want to help".flair said.
"look flair,I don't want to put you in danger".I said.
"We are in battle already, danger is inevitable so don't hesitate".flair said.
"okay fine let's continue with this"I said as I stood up.
"look am really hungry,do you want us to starve to death".Ellis complained.
"Ellis mother is unwell we haven't gotten a solution and you are thinking about food how inconsiderate can you be".Brandon said.
"Brandon we have been here since this morning,I was disturbed from my beauty sleep......"
"Ellis must you be so selfish all the time".Draco said.
"Draco don't do that ever again we have been thinking since morning this is 5pm yet no solution and I am hungry".Ellis said.
"Ellis please stop this ,how can you be so indifferent about your mother's condition". lady Martha said.
"you of all people should be happy,you were always jealous of her".Ellis said mockingly.
"we might not be close sisters but I wouldn't be happy if anything happens to her".lady Martha said.
"Caring sister indeed stop with this act of yours".Ellis said.
"you know what you are just frustrated". lady Martha said.
"mum please stop embarrassing yourself be responsible for once". Beth said.
"Wow your daughter is embarrassed because of your behaviour".Ellis said mockingly.
"Ellis not another word from you,look mother's condition isn't getting better we have to act fast".Brandon said worriedly.
"look we don't have much time left".the herbs man said calmly.
"Who could have done this".lord Matthew said.
"I don't know mother has so many enemies". Brandon said
"so you now agree".Ellis said with sarcasm.
"I think the person must be in the family but how did the person do it because I have checked all her face and skin products there is no poison in it".the herbs man said.
"I don't know mother never allows anyone in her room if she isn't around".Brandon said.
"We need some one that's is not from here, maybe the person can help".the herbs man said.
"Thaniel your wife might be able to help".lady Martha said.
"But mother ousted her from the house". Draco said.
"tell Dylan to get her mother isn't feeling well".brandon said and Draco left.
I was on my way to the store house when Dylan stopped me.
"Your attention is needed in the house". he said.
"As you can see I am very busy".I said calmly.
"lady Marie is sick, we might need your help "Dylan said.
"Well Dylan I have to drop this at the store house first before coming".I said.
"look we don't have time let's just go".he did
"fine"......
