"If you feel guilty about my parents, why not just tellwhere you had them buried?"
Gabrielle seemed caught off guard by my question, her hands trembling as she held the soup. "Claire, you're still
young. These burdens shouldn't fall on your shoulders. If you truly wish to pay your respects, how about | take
you and Claude to visit their grave after you're married? Would that be okay?"
"Did my parents’ death shake the Hart family that much? Or is there more to their death, so much so that there's
not even ashes left, not to mention a proper burial?" Tears welled in my eyes as | spoke, and | could see Gabrielle
avoiding my gaze.
So, it was true. The Hart family hadn't even bothered to retrieve my parents’ bodies, leaving the people who
saved Claude's life to be gone without leaving any trace in this world. "Claire..."
"Mrs. Hart, I'm just jesting. | won't ask anymore." | quickly smiled, realizing it wasn't the tto confront her, and
picked up the soup, saying, "I'll go deliver the soup to Claudy." She gently touched the bandage on my hand.
"Does it still hurt? Be more careful this time."

| nodded. There was something off about this soup, and | was curious to see what kind of surprise Gabrielle had
prepared this time.
Gabrielle said, "Here, Claire, drink this milk first."
Milk and soup again! It seemed she was playing the sold tricks.
"Okay." | obediently drank the milk.
She then hurriedly said, "It's getting late. | should head back. You take the soup to the study and don't give Kate
a chance. If it weren't for her accident, I'd have sent her packing already." She cast a stern glance at Kate before
leaving. But | knew it was all an act for my benefit.

If she despised someone from her heart, she'd cast them out, broken leg or not. Just like Claude, he wouldn't
believe | was dead, saying
he'd sendaway.
After Gabrielle left, | found Kate and said, "Claudy didn't have his soup tonight. Mrs. Hart taughthow to make
it and said it was his favorite."
Sitting on the couch quietly out of respect for Gabrielle, Kate suddenly got up and said, "Letdeliver it,
Claire."
"Why? | made it. Mrs. Hart said Claudy has loved this soup since he was young and even said his future wife
must know how to make it."
Kate clenched her teeth and said, "Claire, didn't you want to go hiking? I'll go with you. Leave the soup to me."
| scoffed, "I can go hiking by myself."

Kate said, "It's too dangerous to go alone. We'll be worried."
"Alright, then. Take the soup." | feigned innocence, handing over the soup, and she happily carried it off to the
study.
My body suddenly felt warm.
Gabrielle had tampered with the milk. And the antidote | got from Ronald last twas probably still in my
apartment. | needed to leave this place immediately.
I'd return the next day to see if Kate would get thrown out. After all, Claude was a traditionalist. He wouldn't
allow premarital relations. His pride wouldn't stand for being drugged, either.
Would this incident be an accident for Kate, or would it change Claude's view of her? | was somewhat eager to
find out.
But my body was getting hotter and uncontrollable. | started unbuttoning my collar. | couldn't stay there any
longer! | hailed a taxi and left the mansion.
