Dad fell to his knees, his hands trembling as he gathered the scattered documents.
At that moment, the healer who had performed the transplant stepped forward. “Indeed, Ms. Laila wasn’t the one who donated the kidney back then. She paid me a large sum to keep the truth hidden.”
She began to shake.
“As for the wolfsbane in Ms. Zora… that really wasn’t my doing!” she quavered. “Ms. Laila injected it into Ms. Zora herself. She asked me to do it, but I refused, I couldn’t bring myself to do something so cruel.”
“What did you just say?‘ Mom and Dad cried out in shock, staring at Laila in disbelief.
“You heard her,” Simon said coldly. “Zora was poisoned with wolfsbane six months ago by her dear sister. And she endured it all this time!”
He suddenly clutched his head, overcome with anguish. “Why didn’t I believe her? Why did I doubt her? I watched her grow weaker by the day, yet I thought she was just faking it just to get our attention.”
Jerking his head up, he pointed at Laila and bellowed, “To steal Zora’s credit, she dumped Zora at the edge of the forest after stealing her kidney. But all of you blindly believed her lies. You’re the ones who killed Zora!”
With undeniable proof and testimony, Laila’s lies finally unraveled completely. There was no way she could cover them up now.
