Wendy eyed Jessica suspiciously her gaze sharp Also I haven t even made the antidote yet so how did you wake upon your own

WendyturnedhergazetowardHorace.”IfIhadpoisonedyou,Iwould’vemadesureyoustayedunconscious,butyouwokeuponyour own.Mr.Larson,something’sdefinitelyoffaboutthispoisoning.Youshouldreallylookintoitmorecarefully.”
Horace studied Jessica intently his eyes deep and unreadable

Wendy glanced at him her tone measured I suspects he poisoned herself
Horace slips tightened into a thin line

Wendy nodded Thankyou Mr Larson
