Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 511
At Solomon’s question, Finley’s first instinct was to look at Larissa, to gauge her reaction.
He had been torn the entire way to the Palmer estate, and even more so since she had arrived.
Should he really testify against his own sister? Would she see it as yet another betrayal?
But if he didn’t, he might lose his only chance at getting the antidote.
Seeing him staring, Larissa’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Why are you looking at me? Solomon is the one who asked you a question.”
Her dismissive attitude was another dagger to Finley’s heart. He knew this would disappoint her yet again, but he desperately wanted to be free of the poison. The agony he felt each time it flared up was unbearable.
Even if testifying against her was a betrayal, he felt he had no other choice. It wasn’t that he wanted to hurt her.
Finley clenched his fists, his mind a battlefield of conflicting emotions. Finally, he made his decision.
“Mr. Palmer,” he said, addressing Zoltan, “Miss Palmer is not lying. My sister did poison her. It’s an undetectable poison. I tried to tell my own grandfather about it, but because there was no proof, he didn’t believe me. But now, with Miss Palmer as a fellow victim, I felt I had to come forward and testify on her behalf.”
He didn’t dare to look at Larissa as he spoke.
Actually, he needn’t have worried. Larissa had no interest in looking at him. She had never trusted him in the first place.
If she had held onto even a sliver of hope for him, this moment would have shattered it. “Finley,” she said, her tone still laced with ridicule, “do you have any proof this time? For all we know, you and Faith are just colluding to slander me.”
Before Finley could respond, Faith pulled out her phone. “Grandpa, I have videos of what happens every time it acts up. Look, why would I joke about my own health? I was in so much pain.”
Finley hesitated for a moment before taking out his own phone. “Mr. Palmer, I had my mother record a video as well. Even though the doctors can’t identify the poison, the pain is real.”
Zoltan only took the phone his granddaughter offered. So Finley dejectedly put his
away.
Chapter 511
After watching the video and confirming that his granddaughter’s agony was likely not an act, Zoltan returned the phone to her. He then turned to Larissa, his expression serious. “Larissa,
is it true?”
Before Larissa could answer, Faith burst into tears. “Grandpa, would I lie to you? I don’t want to press charges against Larissa. I just want the antidote. If I don’t get it, the pain will kill me.”
She then shot Finley a meaningful look.
Finley quickly chimed in. “Mr. Palmer, when the poison takes hold, the pain is unbearable. If it weren’t for the anesthesia, I don’t think I could have survived.”
“Grandpa, you have to help me,” Faith pleaded, her voice choked with tears. “If she doesn’t give me the antidote, Larissa will torture me to death.”
Larissa was about to deny everything again when Haskell gently patted her hand.
“I’ll handle this,” he murmured, then turned to Faith with a serene smile. “So you took videos. What a coincidence. I took one too.”
