Luck Is Truly Real
Begging Ragnar Marshall for help is definitely not an option, but perhaps, she can speak to Beocca to help. She then determine to speak to Beocca when she gets to the training ground the following day.
She went into her room straight up but was surprised to see Ragnar Marshall and Chester together. She was stupefied that she didn’t know exactly what to say for the next one minute.
“Good evening, sir.”
“Mommy, welcome,” Chester said cheerfully. He had not fully recovered from his health yet and he had been dull in the past couple of days, Brigitta was surprised to see Chester acting cheerfully. He was on Ragnar Marshall’s lap which was very weird to her. Chester understood the expression on his mom’s face so he smiled and said, “I was hot, very hot so I managed to stand, while finding who I can tell, Mr. Ragnar saw me and came to my aid.”
“Oh… thank you so much, sir.” She said to Ragnar. But seeing Ragnar carry her baby comfortably in his arms shocks her still. “I’ve invited the doctor over.”
“In this late hour?” Brigitta was shocked.
Ragnar carried Chester from his lap and went ahead to place him on the bed, “be fine, little man.” Although his face was cold, the little one derives comfort in his gentle and caring tone.”
“I will. Thank you, sir.” Chester said. She watched as Ragnar walked out. Ragnar couldn’t help but wish he was the kids daddy.
Brigitta sighed and quickly walked up to Chester, “my jewel,” she examined his temperature and seeing that it was hot, she could only hope that the doctor comes as soon as possible. But for the main time, she went ahead and give Chester a cold shower.
Whereas, as soon as Ragnar walked out, he noticed someone walking swiftly to him. Who else could it be other than Cassie. Ragnar Marshall had decided not to employ any butler again. Cassie and Brigitta should do the cleaning and cooking on their own.
“Mr. Ragnar,” Cassie walked swiftly to him. At work, she had told Ragnar Marshall to escort her to her car and Ragnar had agreed, afterall, Ragnar had promised her a bit of his attention.
“My child has not been fine for the past three days, will you come to check on him,” she said. It’s not like her child is sick, it’s that she’s overly jealous that Ragnar Marshall was coming out of Brigitta’s room.
“I guess he’s about to die.” He said.
“About to die?” Cassie exclaimed in shock. That wasn’t the response she was expecting.
“I told you any baby I produce do not make it pass nine months. This is the ninth month so you better be prepared for his death,” Ragnar Marshall said and walked away.
“This man is truly a beast,” Cassie concluded. How can he talk about the death of ‘his’ own son like that? So if the son was actually his, he would have spoken in the same manner? Does he not have a heart at all?
Out of anger, Cassie went to the room that Brigitta’s children sleep. She placed her hand on the knob and wanted to open it, honestly, she just wished to knock all of her children to death. But there was no one else in the house that can put the blame on.
Even if she wants to kill those children, she mustn’t kill all of them. She can just kill one for now and she has to do it in the most unsuspecting way. She want to watch Brigitta cry her lungs out. She wants to see her in a miserable state.
When an idea popped up in her mind, she thought it was better than just acting irrational so she walked away.
The following morning, although Cassie was at her kitchen, cooking, she was secretly spying on Brigitta who was also in her kitchen, cooking. There are only three kitchens in the house, Brigitta was given one while Cassie was given the other. That way, everyone can easily avoid eachother.
As usual, Brigitta would prepare breakfast for her children before they go to school so she served today’s breakfast, it was just a tea and slice bread. After she had set it on her dinning table, she went to her children’s room to see if they are done dressing, cause only after they are fully dressed for school can they come to eat.
When Cassie saw that Brigitta had left the dinning room, she immediately pour a powder and soluble poison to one of the teas then she went back to her kitchen quickly.
Brigitta soon appeared with her kids. The five kids sat around the table as usual and began to eat. But Chester was still sick so he couldn’t really drink the tea before him.
When Brigitta noticed he was not eating, she spoke, “Chester, why are you not eating?”
“I don’t have appetite mom.” Chester replied.
This time, other children had already began to eat. Brigitta was also eating.
“Oh my dear child,” she said lovingly, “why don’t you just take a little of the tea?”
“No, mum. I don’t feel like…” Chester said.
“It’s okay. Are you sure you want to go to school today or will you rest?” She asked.
“I’ll go, I’ve missed my friend at school. It’s just that I won’t be able to use my drug this morning since I can’t take it on empty stomach.” Chester said.
“That’s fine. Just tell your teacher when you are hungry, she will inform me and I can tell her to get something for you, okay?” She said and Chester nodded.
After the other children were done eating, she lead them to where the school bus was and after seeing that they have entered, she walked away happily.
When Cassie noticed that Brigitta had gone, she immediately we went to the table but to her dissapointment, the very tea she poisoned wasn’t taken.
“‘Luck’ is truly real,” she mumbled to herself. But she left it there, perhaps, Brigitta would be foolish enough to come and take the tea. Then she walked away.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
