"Well... I just recalled that," Mrs. Taylor gave Marcus an apologetic look. "I asked Jones to buy it. It was intended to poison rats... I don't know how it got in my dinner. Nothing bad happen, how about just let it go?" Mr. Taylor said to Marcus in a low voice.

Laura took her hand away from Mrs. Taylor and stepped back. "Mrs. Taylor, you've made a mistake. I am the victim. What qualifications do you have to forgive someone who wants to hurt me for me?"
