"Don't drink the tea, my lady!" Adela shouted and grabbed the cup resulting in its content spilling into the floor.
Laura's brows furrowed in confusion. "But why?" she looked at the servant with a questioning glance, then looked at the healer.
The healer maintained her silence letting Adela do the talking.
Adela dropped on the floor on bended knees. "I'm so sorry, my lady. Please forgive me, the tea that you are about to drink is poisonous, it will kill the fetus inside your womb!" she said, her eyes swarmed with tears.
Laura's eyes widened in shock. She looked at the old woman who is avoiding her gaze. "Grandma, is it true that the tea is poisoned? That it's meant to kill my baby inside my tummy?" she asked, her chest felt heavy due to horror.
