Evelyn’s POV:After Nathan said that, Grace remained on her knees and began speaking from where she sat.“I’ll tell you everything I know.”Her voice was small.I decided to ask her something.“What changed your mind?”When I asked, Grace looked up at me and said, “I was a servant of the Bennett family. I was able to serve the Bennetts for so long, and that was my pride. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were strict, but they cared about the staff. The staff got along well too, with Mr. Porter at the center of it all. That was my small source of pride.”After saying that, Grace lowered her gaze.“But Miss Dawson slipped into the tiny gap in my heart. Back when Miss Dawson came to the Bennett house, what I felt at that time was…”Grace looked up at me again.“Miss Carter, I was jealous of your beauty.”I was startled.“My beauty?”Grace’s face turned red, perhaps from shame.“Yes. I thought if I were beautiful like you, maybe a man would notice me too. Because we were close in age, I e

Evelyn’s POV:We all looked at one another.Sophie was here?After thinking for a moment, Nathan said, “Sophie is probably here to see me, so I’ll handle her. Mr. Porter, take everyone to another room.”Mr. Porter guided us to a separate room.“Nathan.”Lucas tossed something toward Nathan.Nathan caught it reflexively and looked at what was in his hand.“It’s a recorder. It records everything, and we’ll be able to hear the audio on our end at the same time.”Nathan slipped the pen-like device into his breast pocket.“Understood.”Then he took a small round case from his inner pocket, opened the lid, and applied the ointment beneath his nose.“I’ll see you later.”Nathan said that and turned to leave.Lucas spoke to his back.“If anything happens, we’ll come in. Don’t worry.”---Sophie’s POV:I had been uneasy because no one had been at the breakfast table, and because I had been feeling a little distance from Nathan lately.So I went straight to the Bennett house.

Evelyn’s POV:Nathan left the room with Mr. Porter supporting him.I frowned at the sweet, poisonous scent of Queen of Desire filling the room.“That smell is unbelievable.”Lucas laughed.“It really is. This is beyond perfume at this point. It’s practically chemical warfare.”After seeing how sick Nathan looked, I nodded too.“It really is.”Several members of the staff quickly entered the room carrying air purifiers.Watching them, a thought suddenly came to me.“Lucas, do you think we could neutralize Queen of Desire?”When I said that, Lucas looked at me in surprise, then fell into thought.“That would be an effective move.”We left the room and began walking together while I thought it through with him.“As long as the scent is there, Sophie probably won’t care whether it actually contains any useful ingredients.”Lucas laughed.“That’s true. She probably has no way of checking whether the active ingredients are really in it either.”Then I voiced something I had

Evelyn’s POV:Lucas administered the antidote he had formulated to both Grace and Nathan.I had never heard of a “perfume” that required medical treatment.That was exactly what made it so dangerous.When we left the room where the two of them were receiving their IVs, Lucas leaned against the hallway wall and spoke.“Early this morning.”He began talking.“Hm?”I looked at him.“Nora left the Parker estate.”I instinctively looked at Lucas.“Oh, she’s all right. Apparently, they told Sophie she was leaving to recover.”“That’s not what I’m asking. Is Nora okay?”Lucas smiled bitterly.“Now that she knows Sophie was involved in Ryan’s death, she wants to keep her distance from Sophie until she can sort through her feelings.”I understood how she felt.Her beloved son had been killed.That was a perfectly normal reaction.“Since this is a good opportunity, I had her come to the hospital.”That reminded me that we had once talked about having Nora examined too.“Just

Evelyn’s POV:Nathan and Grace finished their IVs.Both of them sat up.“How do you feel?” I asked.Nathan smiled.“I’m all right.”The strength had returned to Nathan’s eyes.Then what about Grace?I looked at her.Grace was shedding tears.As she received the IV, her vision must have cleared the way Nathan’s had.And now, all the terrible things Sophie had made her do, the things she had blindly believed in until now, were probably weighing down on her.“I received new information from a doctor I know. Let me examine you briefly.”With that, I examined Nathan’s appearance.According to Julian, the symptoms could include dark spots around the eyes, drooping eyelids, and distortion around the mouth.There seemed to be faint dark spots near Nathan’s eyes.“Nathan, can you move your mouth a little?”Nathan moved his mouth.As I watched, I asked, “Does it feel hard to move? Anything like that?”Nathan shook his head.“Not for now.”So for now, he was not showing sympt
