Emily got on a taxi, reported the address of the Reed family, and leaned against the car window, the pain in her head stabbing her from time to time.
When she arrived at the Reed family, she knelt down as soon as she entered.
"Mother-in-law! Im sorry!" She said while kowtowing, and the sound was so loud that it made peoples hearts ache.
"What are you doing, Emily?" Evelyn hurriedly helped Emily up.
"I killed your husband!" Emilys hair was messy, her eyes were moist, and her eyes were full of apology and regret.
Evelyns heart trembled when she heard this sentence, and her old eyes gradually became moist. She couldnt believe that the child she once trusted so much had killed the person she loved the most in half of her life.
"It was me... who put honey in my father-in-laws tea..." Emily looked at the disappointment and pain in her mother-in-laws eyes, and it was as painful as a needle pricking her heart.
Losing the taste of a loved one, how could Emily not understand, all the habits of two people become one person to bear, especially for an old person who has lived with her partner for many years, it is even more painful.
Since her parents died in a car accident last year, the most loving people to her were her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now she did such a thing.
Emily always felt that she was the most pitiful, being tortured to death by the person she loved the most, only to find out that she was the one who tortured the people closest to her, and she was indeed as despicable as Nathan said, not even as good as an animal.
"So it was you who poisoned the old man?" Evelyn said this sentence in a low voice, a sigh of helplessness, a sigh of disappointment to the depths of the abyss.
Evelyns whisper made Emilys heart smash to the ground, and it shattered into a thousand pieces of slag.
"Mother-in-law! Its not like this! I didnt know the honey was poisonous at the time, that honey was given to me by Grace... She said she originally wanted to kill me, but I took it to give it to my father-in-law to drink..." Emily panicked and grabbed Evelyns sleeve.
"Emily, I believed you, but you came back and said it was you who poisoned the old man, and now you say its not, which sentence should I believe? You said it was Grace who poisoned, what evidence do you have?" Evelyn patted away Emilys hand and pointed out the most critical point.
Emily choked, indeed, there is only what Grace said to her now.
"Mother-in-law, I dont have evidence now, but I——"
"Forget it, when Nathan comes back, we will go to see your sister." With that, Evelyn turned and went upstairs. After receiving too much information, Evelyn felt her head was about to explode.
Her most beloved child personally served the poisoned tea to her partner, but she told her that the actual poisoner was someone else, and even the object of the poison was a mistake. Evelyns mind is very confused now.
Sitting by the bed, she stroked the old photo of Mr. Reed, and her sight was blurred by tears, "Old man, if you have a soul in heaven, please send a dream to tell me the truth... Im old, I cant toss around... We are all women, why hurt each other..."
Emily hugged herself and sat on the ground by the sofa.
She hated, she hated that she believed all the sweet words, she hated that her sister was ruthless, and she hated that she knew all the truth but had no ability to prove her innocence.
When Nathan comes back, whats the use of waiting for him to come back, he wont believe what I say, what should I do. After a lot of tossing, Emily was physically exhausted and dozed off.
In the evening, Nathan received a call from his mother saying that there was something important to go home, and he specially asked to bring Grace.
He hurried back and opened the door, but saw Emily sitting on the ground.
"You bitch, how do you still have the face to stay in my house?" Nathans face was iron-green.
