Lucian's eyes grew wide at her words. He tried accessing her expression hoping whatever he heard was a mistake, but the seriousness in her orbs broke his hope.
Letting go do her hand, he watched her stand up and take a step away from the bed. He could see the cloud of doubts brewing in her eyes and the way she kept looking at him made his blood run dry.

"Did you mix something in my food?" he asked with a deep voice.
He remembered Ariana taking her time bringing the food to the bed. He didn't doubt her that time but now when he connected those dots he came to realize that his passing out surely has to do something with her delay.
