Chapter 4 - Ch.4:"As beautiful as letal"

"According to the letter, I came here the night of Leyla's 21st birthday;

If my guess is correct, the voices she thought she heard were those of the two men from yesterday ,and i'm sure they are the ones who killed her."

"Since the assassination didn't took place ,THIS MEANS, I've come back a few minutes before it happen.

Moreover, they were sent here with a sum of money as reward....

...

..I'll have to investigate "who" ordered the hit."

"OK!! , first i have to discover the cause of this strange disease that afflicts my body."

---A little while later-----

After a few minutes the servant returned with a tray.

"Miss Leyla, I brought you your medicine.":Amélie

"m-me. .dic.. ine?"

"Yes, the medicine that the doctor has prescribed you to take for the pain":Amélie

"E-excu..se me Am..élie, I.. have.. a me.m..or.y la..pse, w..ho .is i.t tha..t has.. take..n car.e.. to hire... me do...wn a d..octor"

"*Ah!*it was your mother, Marchioness Yvonne":Amélie

Um?... how strange, from the story it did not seem that the Marchioness was so thoughtful to hire a doctor for her daughter...I have a bad feeling.

I can't trust them ,it's better if i check this "medicine" first.

"All...ri..ght, lea..ve .it..th..ere"

I asked Amélie to leave the tray on the table; once followed the order she left the room.

Let's see *sniff**sniff**sniff*

OH GOSH,IT SMELLS ORRIBLE!! What is this stuff?!

The color of the drink was a green similar to the mud of a swamp.

"I will never drink it!..

*uhm?* there's something inside..."

.....

.....

.....

"AH! THIS IS AN OLEANDRO1 PETAL!!! , AND ALSO THE SMELL MATCHES!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! THEY WERE KILLING HER SLOWLY!!"

*sob*thank God all those years of medical school came in handy.

IF my "mother" is the one who wants me dead...I can't reveal the truth...I'll play along.

"I must find a way to get rid of this poisonous concoction before Amélie returns."

So, I began searching the room.

----Some time after------

....

....

"*AH!* found it!"

I poured the liquid out the window.

Amélie almost discovered me.

"Miss Layla, what are you doing by the window?": Amélie

"Ha! ,ehm..... ,i'm loo...king.. at the... gar..den,the..re a..re s.o .m.an.y. pre...tty fl...owers"

"Do you want me to send the gardener to pick you some flowers?": Amélie

"No!... no.. neve..r..mind"

"Amélie,who..picke..d th..e flowe...rs in ..the ..v..ase?"

"*Uhm?*How strange, we don't have this kind of flower at the villa":Amélie

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Uhm*..maybe was Leyla's doing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah! right...I almost forgot, I came to tell you that your mother, the Marchioness Yvonne de Leroy, wants to see you in her studio":Amélie

"EH?!?!... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

Shocked by the news and unable to freely move my body Amélie helped me to get ready ,and in less than 10 minutes I was ready to go and meet my" mother"...
