Chapter 1066

Olivia nodded. “You’re right. Anyway, I’ll take the chicken soup to the hospital. That way, Hailey can enjoy it while it’s still warm.”
Rebecca reached out. “Let me help you, Olivia.”
Olivia shook her head. “It’s fine. I can do it myself. I don’t need your help.”
Rebecca let out a quiet sigh. Olivia wasn’t giving her any opportunity to poison the soup.
“What are you just standing there for? Go sit in the living room for a bit. I’ll be done soon,” Olivia said.
When she saw that the soup had already been served, Rebecca’s anxiety surged. If she didn’t act fast, this golden opportunity would slip right through her fingers.
The packet of poison powder still rested in her pocket.
“Olivia, I really want to do something for Hailey too. Please, let me help.”
With that, Rebecca reached out to grab the ladle from Olivia’s hand.
But before she could, Olivia shoved her aside. “I said I don’t need your help. Rebecca, you’re just getting in the way.”
Rebecca hesitated, unsure what to do next.
“Shit! Where did the thermos go? Why isn’t it here?” Olivia blurted out.
“Did you say the thermos is missing?” Rebecca echoed.
“Yeah, it was here just a moment ago,” Olivia replied, tapping her forehead. “Ah, I remember. I left it in the living room. Rebecca, could you grab it for me?”
Rebecca’s eyes lit up instantly. The opportunity she had long awaited was finally within her grasp.
“Okay, I’ll go get it.”
After stepping into the living room, Rebecca quickly spotted the pink thermos sitting on the coffee table.
“Did you find it?” Olivia shouted from the kitchen.
“Yes, I did! The lid’s a little dirty. I’ll wipe it with a tissue first.”
“Okay,” Olivia replied.
After opening the thermos, Rebecca wasted no time taking the packet from her pocket. She peeked over her shoulder careful not to draw attention.
In the kitchen, Olivia remained oblivious, absorbed in preparing the chicken soup. Without a second
thought Rebecca emptied the
powder into the thermos. Content”
Since there was already some water inside, the poison dissolved instantly. With no color or smell, it was impossible to detect.
Rebecca let out a sigh of relief. It was done. Tucked away in the thermos, the poison was ready to do its work.
She carried the thermos back into the kitchen and handed it to Olivia. “Here it is.”
“Okay, pass it over,” Olivia said, taking the thermos and carefully ladling the chicken soup inside.
“I’m bringing this to the hospital for Hailey.”
With that, she screwed the lid on tight.
At last, Rebecca felt the heavy weight lift from her chest. Her plan had succeeded.
So long as Olivia served Hailey the poisoned soup, Hailey wouldn’t live to see another day.
With her out of the picture, Rebecca could do as she pleased.
“Olivia, let me come with you to the hospital,” Rebecca insisted.
She wanted to witness Hailey’s final moments with her own eyes.
Olivia hesitated. “That’s probably not the best idea. Hailey’s already hanging by a thread. She really doesn’t want to see you.”
Rebecca clung to Olivia’s arm and said sweetly, “How about I just stay by the door? After all, the three of us have always been good friends just want to see how Hailey’s doing. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t cause any trouble.”
Olivia finally relented. “Fine. Let’s go to the hospital together.”
