Chapter 1743: Chapter 1843

The bodyguard hesitated, whip poised in the air.

I glanced at Andrew and added, “Stop beating her for now.

I want to hear her out.

”

Andrew looked uncertain but asked cautiously, “You aren’t going soft, are you?”

I replied, my voice steely, “Of course not.

I just want to be sure.

If she truly poisoned Abby, I will kill her myself!”

At my words, Andrew signaled for the bodyguards to step back.

Debra’s POV:

Regaining her composure, Nora forced a bitter smile and continued watching Abby.

Seeing Abby sleep peacefully, she softened and whispered, “Thank God.

Abby is okay.

”

Hearing this sent a shiver down my spine.

“You have poisoned Abby.

How can you say she’s fine? Do you expect me to trust you?”

Nora gave a sorrowful smile, furrowed her brow, and replied, “Believe it or not, I didn’t poison Abby.

I would protect her, even at the cost of my own life.

”

“Really?” I scoffed.

I didn’t believe her one bit.

“If I had intended to harm Abby, why would I have waited until now?”

Nora said each word carefully, still looking tenderly at Abby.

“I look after Abby every day.

If I wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have survived this long.

”

Looking into Nora’s eyes, filled with pain and despair, I found myself hesitating.

Indeed, Nora had always cared for Abby well.

I could sense her genuine affection for Abby, and I couldn’t see why she would harm Abby.

What could have made her do that? What reason could she possibly have to poison a child only a few months old?

I was both furious and confused.

Part of me even wanted to let her explain herself.

With a serious expression, I kept asking, “If you didn’t poison the baby’s milk powder, then who did?”

Nora shook her head in despair.

“I don’t know.

Andrew had me confined in a dark dungeon for so long.

I don’t know what happened.

It’s my fault.

If I had been there for Abby, she wouldn’t have been harmed.

”

As she spoke, she knelt before me and bowed her head deeply to the floor.

Soon, there was blood on her forehead.

I was shocked and whispered, “Stop this.

Calm down and just speak your mind.

Hurting yourself won’t help anything.

”

Realizing the coldness and anger in my voice, Nora paused uncomfortably and whispered, “I’m sorry.

I got too carried away.

I hope I didn’t scare the baby, did I?”

Abby moved in my arms and let out a small groan.
