Chapter 11 What happened to him ?! my voice bellowed the moment I entered my sons hospital room .
I saw Beverly holding Lordes hand , crying as if she was the one in pain .
But instead of feeling a strange joy from seeing her there , instead of feeling that familiar warmth that reminded me of Chesca , all I felt was irritation .
Maybe if Hestias not making me stressed , I wont be pissed at her face.N Didnt I tell you to take care of him ? I said sharply .
She looked at me with swollen eyes , red nose , and trembling lips , clearly crying for hours .
Still , I felt no guilt .
I only asked her to take care of him .
It was easier than court work , yet she failed .
Lucian , he wanted to cook himself .
I only stepped out to answer a phone call .
I do not know how he found and consumed the poison , she explained .
I pushed her aside and touched Lordes forehead , burning hot .
His lips were pale , eyes sunken .
He looked just like Hestia did when she was hospitalized for poisoning .
I let out a deep breath.§ Poison .
I turned to Beverly .
Why is there poison in my house ? > Then I remembered what Hestia once said , she saw Beverly with a maid , talking about sneaking poison into the house for Lorde , I hadnt believed her .
My gamma would never harm the future alpha .
But why did we even have poison ? No pests , no rats .
Unless it wasnt meant for animals .
Tell me the truth , I began , my voice laced with threat .
Her eyes widened in fear .

She thought I would punish her right then and there .
But not yet .
Is it true what Hestia said before ? That you had something to do with the poison getting into my house ? } I saw the shock and panic cross her gentle face .
N no … she shook her head and avoided my eyes .
Why would I do that , Lucian ? I am your gamma .
You trust me , she said .
I sighed deeply , my jaw clenching in anger .
Then who else could it be ? Have you ever considered that maybe it was Hestia ? Maybe she planned this , so she could finally leave you , she said .
I was already about to turn around to speak to the doctor , but her words stopped me .
] What did you say ? I asked , my voice rising .
My blood pressure spiked .
Hestia had been difficult lately , causing the worst headache of my life .
But I never imagined shed risk her life to stir drama , let alone expose our son to poison .
No , she wasnt like that .
Beverly seemed to sense the change in my tone .
She sighed and fidgeted with her hands , the same way my late wife Chesca used to .
Well , who else could have brought poison into the house ? Hestia has the power to move freely in your home , Lucian .
And after she came back from the hospital , she did not wait .
She started her drama again .
And when you pushed her away , what did she do ? She left .
As if she could not wait to be gone , she said , shaking her head in disappointment .
My jaw tightened .

My vision darkened as her words stacked on top of one another .
I still refused to believe her .
But then she moved closer and added more fuel to the fire .
And now there is news about her seeing another man .
Not just any man , but one who also has a son .
Someone she often meets .
Do you not think it all makes sense now ? > Get out , I said tightly .
Even though I said it calmly , her body flinched .
But she did not argue .
She turned and quietly walked away .
!! I will get the doctor , she said under her breath before stepping out .
I sat heavily in the chair beside Lorde and took his hand .
It was cold .
My son had already been through so much trauma .
He lost Chesca while he was still a baby .
At three years old , he witnessed someone trying to break into the house during a thunderstorm to hurt his mother .
Since then , every time it rained and thundered , he would panic .
He would scream for her .
He would lash out .
And now this .
Mr.
Ducani , the doctor spoke behind me .

I did not look at him .
It is a good thing your son is safe now .
But we must be careful .
He should avoid food that contains high levels of toxins .
He should not take too many medicines either .
It may trigger the areas that were affected by the poison .
His heart has been weak since birth , correct ? That was the reason Hestia had always been so careful .
She never let him cry too much .
She avoided giving him sweets .
She did not allow him to participate in any activity that could exhaust him .
She knew how fragile he was .
Even though Lorde was not her biological son , she was the one who raised him .
There was no way I could believe she would put poison in our home and risk harming him .
But maybe that poison was not for Lorde .
Maybe it was for her .
If she was the one who brought it in , maybe she had no intention of staying .
Maybe she really wanted to divorce me .
Leave us .
And 10:38 AM maybe she had a reason .
Maybe she was already planning to be someone elses wife .
Someone elses mother .
Just like the man she was seen with in the news .
