Chapter 59
On a weekend morning. Flora was awakened by an early call from Ray-
She almost answered it before realizing it was from a backup phone. So she quickly lowered her voice.
With a raspy voice, she answered, “Hello?”
“Séraphine, please come quickly! I don’t know what happened, but Aisha has had another episode.”
Flora paused, then hurriedly replied. Til be right there.”
When she arrived in a ruch, Connor and Ray were them, along with several members of the Brimer family.
Ray looked anxious. “Séraphine, how could Alsha suddenly fall ill again?”
“Did she not take her medication on time?” Flora spoke softly, her gaze sweeping over the members of the Brimmer family.
Yvonne was the first to react negatively, stomping her feet. “Why are you looking at us like that! We didn’t do anything. Don’t try to pin this on us. I swear if anything happens to Aisha, Il accuse you of intentional homicide and have you locked up for life!
“Shut up.” Ray scolded, his eyes darkening with anger.
Aisha had been improving these past few days. It had been a long while since her last episode, proving Séraphine’s renowned skills were not unfounded
“Why are you yelling at me. After you met Aisha, she fell ill, and it’s all because of you. She must hate you now.”
The accusation caused Ray’s heart to clench, pain piercing him like needles: All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Enough from you!” This time, it was Paul who spoke, his demeanor vastly different from before.
After Séraphine had left the last time, he had made inquiries. The results were surprising.
His expression softened with respect when he looked at Flora, also tinged with a hint of fear.
Séraphine was not someone they could afford to provoke. Their previous attitude towards Séraphine could be described as nothing short of terrible.
“Séraphine, my daughter has been spoiled by me. Please don’t take it to heart‘
Yvonne was incredulous, unable to believe her father was being so respectful towards this person.
Flora had a good idea of what was going on.
The sounds of Aisha’s painful moans filtered from the room, but Flora could tell they were stronger than before. She was not in immediate danger,
“If you know she’s been overindulged, then it’s time for a change” Flora stated calmly.
She pulled out several spices from her bag. “These are needed shortly, would Miss Yvonne kindly grind them into a powder for me?
“This is a job for a servant. You’re humiliating me.” Yvonne said angrily.
“It seems you’re not entirely foolish” Flora smirked in amusement, her words laced with mockery
The insult was blatant, challenging Yvonne on what she could actually do about it
Everyone present understood that Flora intended to teach Yvonne a lesson.
Aisha’s life was hanging in the balance, and any delay could be dangerous.
Paul glanced at Flora, then at Connor and Ray.
The message was clear. They were already showing him respect by their patience.
Take the spices down and grind them into powder Paul said to Yvonne.
It was time for his daughter to temper her temperament. Her current attitude was bound to bring her trouble someday.
Having Séraphine ask her to grind the spices was a light punishment. With Séraphine’s capabilities and status, she could find a hundred ways to make Yvonne beg for mercy.
Yvonne was extremely displeased, even her father was siding with this person. Still, she was smart enough to know that arguing further would not benefit her.
There would be other opportunities to deal with this a ground the spices.
rdo, She could ask someone to do it for her. After all, no one would know who
“Beck” Connor’s voice was calm, slow, and authoritative, “Stay with Miss Brimer and see if she needs any help.”
Flora almost laughed out loud. Flors thought to herself. “That’s my man. You really do understand me.”
