“If you won’t drink it, I will. I haven’t had fish maw in years, and I’ve been craving it. Grandma’s so biased–she only has the cook make it for you, never for me!”

Grace shot her youngest grandson a re.

How could hepare himself to Lily? Girls were more precious than boys, and Lily was carrying her great–granddaughter. Of course she had to make sure Lily ate well, drank well, and stayed happy.

“Hey…”

Ivan wasn’t actuallypeting with Lily–he was just greedy. The Luke family’s cooks had skill beyondpare. The broth was fraAshton, so good he wanted another bowl. If only they’d add cumin, it would be perfect. He’d even suggested it once, but the cooks had only looked at him withplicated eyes and ignored him. That had hurt.

Renee bit her lip until it nearly bled.

In the blink of an eye, the broth was gone, swallowed by Ivan. Her perfect n shattered. Rage twisted inside her; she nearly lost control of her face.

Half–lowering hershes, she forced herself to breathe deep, again and again, until she smoothed her features back into a mask of warmth and brightness.

“Renee, you should

go

back.”

When she still showed no intention of leaving, Grace turned to the butler. “Samson, have a driver take Renee home.” fn0b7a Discover more novels at fι?dnοvel/fn0b7a

“Yes, ma’am.”

Samson took out his phone, just as Ivan clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.

“My stomach–ah, it hurts so bad! Am I poisoned? Why does it hurt so much? Maybe I didn’t finish in the bathroom. I need to… squat again!”

The words were crude enough to ruin anyone’s appetite.

Henry waved a hand, disgusted. “Go, quickly. Don’t talk about filth at the table.”

Ivan had had stomach aches before. Usually a trip to the toilet fixed everything.

But this time the pain hit harder, deeper, like his gut was being torn apart.

He staggered out of the bathroom minutester, pale as paper, drenched in sweat, then copsed to the floor.

“Help me up! It still hurts, I can’t stand. I didn’t eat anything bad, iso /iwhy is this happening?”

Cold sweat poured from him until he looked like he’d been hauled out of a river.

At first, the elders had thought it was another of his false rms. But now, watching his body twist in agony, they realized this was no joke.

James caught him before he hit the ground, supporting him firmly. “Ivan, hold on. I’ll get you to the hospital right now.”

“It hurts so much–I’ve never felt pain like this. I might not make it…”

Henry’s eyes reddened. “Nonsense! Stop with the unlucky words. Go with your brother to the hospital and quit talking like that!”

“I can’t… I can’t even stand. Grandpa, Grandma… you might really have to bury your grandson…”

Ivan, ever the optimist, didn’t want to say it—but the pain felt like his insides were rotting.

“Ivan, stay with me!”

James’s eyes were bloodshot now too. When Ivan’s body began to seize, James bent low, heaved him onto his back, and charged for the door.

Halfway there he turned to nc. “Dad, I think there’s something wrong with that fish maw. Have it tested.”

Yes–something was wrong with that broth.

At those words, Renee nearly copsed.

The drug she’d used to induce miscarriage was dangerously potent. She had no idea what effect it would have on a man.

But she forced herself calm. Even if the broth was proven tainted, suspicion would fall on the cooks. Not her.

Still, uncase wed at her chest. She wanted to flee, but leaving now would look too suspicious. When the Lukes went rushing to the hospital, she climbed into one of the cars, following them.

James had already phoned ahead. Doctors were waiting outside.

The moment they arrived, the medics rushed forward, whisking the unconscious Ivan into the emergency ward.

Lily, pale with shock, followed them in.
