Chapter 32
President Axel asked about the whereabouts of Larry Tom. He wants to see his body either dead or alive. But Larry’s body has not been found yet” Caden Diego said.
Caden Diego told them how Santiago had threatened him. Santiago had told him that If ever he finds out his daughter was behind the actions that Sent Aurora to Prison, they were going to have him to contend with.
Eve Diego felt a cold shiver run through her spine. Though they had left no clue behind, She only hoped that Larry Tom was courteous enough. Santiago would likely have wanted to ask Larry Tom’s wife some questions; she had to find a way of sending Larry’s family away as soon as possible.
When sergeant Lulu resumed back to work, she told them about a friend of Aurora who came to visit her and she refused her from seeing Aurora.
She brought food for Aurora saying her mother prepared it specially for her. She gave it to Aurora long before taking her to confinement.
She omitted the fact that she was the one that ate it. She can’t possibly say it, if she doesn’t want to lose her job.
If she had known that the food was drugged, she wouldn’t have eaten it. That woman called Aurora must have stepped on a few toes then.
She was in prison and yet, a so-called friend sent her food that was poisoned. But she had foolishly taken her place of pain and torture.
She almost lost her life. The doctor had told her that the drug she took was meant for inducement of abortion and asked her why she took it knowing well she was not pregnant.
He told her it almost ruptured her uterus and had already led to uterine bleeding. If it were not for the quick medical intervention, it could lead to death.
She looked stupid when the doctor reprimanded her and yet she couldn’t say how it really went.
Santiago couldn’t sleep. He was mad at himself. He sat on his balcony and smoked. The last time he saw Aurora was when he entered the car to accompany his mother to the hospital.
He remembered now that Aurora’s eyes looked like she was pleading. He had always read her feelings and understood whatever she meant by a mere blink of the eyes, But why did he fail to understand the message she was trying to pass across? His anger had blindfolded him and had made him act irrationally.
He must find those scum who kidnapped Millie Logan and her son and make them cough out the truth.
Every street had a surveillance camera. He must track them and make them pay for their part in the plot against Aurora.
When Eve Diego and her mother were alone, Tola Diego asked her daughter if everything went as planned.
Eve nodded and said she was smart enough not to use her regular number when communicating with Larry and didn’t pay him from her bank account.
She used the company’s account, used for transactions to pay him. She assured her mother saying except Larry testified against them, no one can discover the truth. And as for Larry, he was far away from Florence City.
“I just hope Palmer doesn’t guess I sent those flowers to her,” Tola Diego said. The flowers were sent by an anonymous person. Tola had known a long time ago that Palmer was allergic to perfume, especially those containing balsam.
She sprayed the perfume on the flower and sent it to Palmer before they arrived at the party.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
That perfume that Palmer inhaled was the cause of the allergic reaction she felt and not poison.
Santiago was still smoking on the balcony when he sent a message to a certain person…
