You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 190

Irene already had doubts about Margaret's sudden kindness, and now the suspicion in her heart was growing bigger and bigger. Was Margaret deliberately trying to confuse her so that she would be less on her guard and then she would find a chance to harm her?

Although the idea was a little unbelievable, she did not dare to risk her baby's life. She smiled faintly and said, "Alright, I like to add some milk into the bird's nest. I'll go add some and then eat it."

As she spoke, she turned around and entered the room as Loraine followed behind her. After only just a few steps, Irene turned around and stopped her, "Oh, I've forgotten one thing. Last time, when Mrs. Myers brought Eden back, he was greatly frightened. He was always afraid to see you two. You'd better not go in and let him see you. Otherwise, he would cry."

Loraine stopped walking and asked awkwardly, "He's even afraid of me?"

"Yes, ever since he came back from the hospital that day, he has been saying that the two women are so mean. If they dare to bully him again in the future, I'll have to call the police to come and arrest them."

Those words were partly true. Eden had just said that the police would have to arrest Margaret, but he did not mention Loraine. However, when Irene saw Loraine's embarrassed expression, she eased her hatred and just lied to her.

Loraine felt even more embarrassed, "Alright, I'll wait for you here."

Irene smiled at her and turned around to walk into the house.

When she returned into the house, Thomas looked at the thermos in her hand and asked, "What is it? Who sent it?"

"Uncle, this is the bird's nest that Margaret asked Loraine to send me," Irene put the thermos on the tea table.

Thomas was shocked, "She really did send you the bird's nest? How could Lily have guessed so accurately? Could there really be something wrong with the bird's nest?"

Irene glanced at Eden, who was sitting on the ground and playing with the toy car. She motioned for Thomas to follow her into the kitchen and told him about Loraine's strange attitude earlier.

Thomas's face darkened, "If that's the case, then there must be something wrong with it. You'd better not eat it." "Don't worry, I won't," Irene said as she opened the lid of the thermos. She glanced inside and bore a strange expression on her face.

More than half of the thermos was filled with the bird's nest. The color of the soup was orange red, and there was a fragrance that was different from the ones she had eaten before.

"Weird, why is the bird's nest so red? It's impossible for it to be in this color!" After marrying Edric, Irene had eaten a lot of nutritious food in order to have children. Moreover, the Myers family was rich, so those premium foods were like daily meals. Although the bird's nest was precious, Irene had eaten it many times, and she knew that something was wrong with it at first glance.

Thomas leaned forward to take a look. Then, he picked up the thermos and sniffed it. His expression changed drastically, "There's a smell of saffron in this bird's nest."

"What?! Saffron?!"

"That's right," Thomas took a fork and stirred the contents. He picked up a thin, orange object and said solemnly, "Look, this must be the saffron. The person who cooked the bird's nest was not careful enough, and she did not pick out all the saffron and left one behind." Irene took a deep breath. She knew that Thomas often read medical books for Eden's illness. These days especially, he even studied Chinese herbal medicine every day. It was not surprising that he knew about saffron. She had suspected that Margaret would do something to the bird's nest, but she did not expect that she would put saffron in it. It was known that saffron would cause miscarriage. If Margaret had done so, wouldn't it be harmful to the child in her stomach?

Thinking of the consequences of eating the bird's nest, Irene trembled, "This old witch is so vicious! She even tries to harm my child."

"I think there's something wrong here. She clearly knows that your baby is Edric's, and Eden is waiting for the baby's umbilical cord blood to save his life. Why should she harm you?" Thomas was calmer than Irene and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Irene gritted her teeth and said, "She must hate me for breaking her leg, and Edric had refused to listen to her as well. That's why she wants to harm me."

Thomas shook his head, "I don't think she would do that. Eden and the child in your stomach are both her grandchildren. No matter how vicious she is, she won't do anything to hurt them."

However, Irene disagreed, "For Margaret, the baby in Lily that b*tch, is also her grandchild She has always liked her. Now, the b*tch is even pregnant with twins. To her, they are more important than Eden and my baby."

"No, she loves having grandchildren so much. No matter who gives birth to her grandchildren, as long as they are related to her family, she would still care for them. I think there's something wrong here. You just said that she sent someone to bring it here. Who is it?"

"It's her caretaker, Loraine. I told her to wait in the garden."

Thomas raised his eyebrows, "Could it be the caretaker who did this?"

"No way, I have nothing against Loraine. Why would she want to harm me? Even if she did, it would definitely be Margaret who gave her the orders."

In the past few years in the Myers family, Irene had always been polite to Loraine. She thought that she had never offended her and that Loraine would not harm her back. However, Loraine had been a caretaker in the Myers family for many years and had always been obedient towards Margaret. If Margaret had ordered her to do this, she would not dare to disobey.

Thomas pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you poke around Loraine and see what she has to say?"

"Okay, I'll go ask her now," Irene thought that Thomas's words were reasonable. She quickly packed up the thermos and held onto it, wanting to leave, but then Thomas stopped her.

"Wait a minute. Pour some out and keep it as evidence. Take out the piece of saffron and show it to her."

Irene understood that Thomas was afraid that Margaret would not admit it when they confronted her. She hurriedly took a bowl, poured some bird's nest into it, and kept it before leaving.

Walking out of the living room door, Irene saw Loraine looking anxiously into the room. She became even more annoyed. She walked up to her in a few steps and put the thermos in her arms. She said sternly, "Loraine, take a good look at what's inside. How dare you bring it for me to eat."
