'Gurgle.' The sound reverberated in the room once again.
Cherise chuckled somewhat sheepishly. "Ms. Ursula, it's not that I'm hungry. It's just a natural bodily response that I can't control."
Upon hearing Cherise's explanation, Damien furrowed his brows slightly and looked at her tenderly. "Why don't you go downstairs and grab something to eat? I'll ask Jacob to come and examine Rowena."
"Are you allowing her to leave and eat?" Ursula raised her brows furiously. "She hasn't explained why she told her son to drug my sister!"
Cherise found it amusing. She looked at Ursula indifferently. "I told him?"
"Of course!" Ursula retorted icily. "Mr. Lenoir's son would never misbehave. You're his mother, and you must have influenced him! How could a five-year-old child think of drugging someone? An adult must have put this idea in his head!"
Cherise raised her brows. She admired Ursula's incredible ability to change her stance. Ursula never spared Cherise's children and would berate and curse them in her presence. However, Ursula was now claiming that Cherise's son was innocent and it was all her fault in front of Damien.
"I simply asked my son some questions." Cherise's brows furrowed slightly. Her voice was calm and aloof. "My son said he just crushed up an effervescent Vitamin C tablet that I usually give him and put it in Ms. Rowena's glass."
Ursula was taken aback. "Vitamin C tablets?!" She pointed at Cherise and started berating her. "Then why did my sister faint after drinking the water? This is clearly poison!"
"Heh. Are you trying to cover up the crime you instructed your son to commit? You made him drug my sister, but now you're claiming that the substance in the water was a Vitamin C tablet?!" Ursula's voice was shrill and piercing. "How dare you call yourself a proficient doctor? You're a murderer!"
