The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1118

"Nina," called Aurelia as she strolled over with a curious lilt in her voice, "Where on earth did you snag that chocolate from? You claimed it was from the resort's gift shop, didn't you?"

With a mischievous grin spreading across her face, Nina confessed, "I fibbed to Mira yesterday, just to tease her for her sweet tooth." With that, she scampered off, fearful of further questioning that might betray her little secret.

Aurelia always sensed something peculiar about Nina, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

When Mira heard whispers that the chocolate might be tainted, she was petrified and wailed uncontrollably at the prospect of a hospital visit, fearing it might be poison. After all, she had a close brush with death once before due to poisoning.

"Am I going to die? I don't wanna die," Mira sobbed inconsolably.

Fredric was sweating bullets as he tried to console her. "Easy there, you're not going anywhere. You're fit as a fiddle right now, aren't you?"

Stomping her foot in frustration, Nina blurted out, "I bought the chocolate from the convenience store, and I ate it too. How could it possibly be poisoned? Those two must have gotten sick from something else."

The chopper arrived in no time, and Fredric whisked the kids away to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

Thankfully, the kids were given a clean bill of health.

Soon after, the police department rang up with good news. The chocolate was poison-free after their lab analysis.

When Mira bounced back, she was as lively as ever. "Ha-ha, I'm fine! I'm not gonna kick the bucket!"

Aurelia ruffled Mira's hair lovingly, "Our Mira's got the luck of the Irish. Nothing's going to happen to you when we're all here to watch over you."

Grinning from ear to ear, Mira said, "If that chocolate was really poisoned, it must've been the green stuff. Lucky I didn't eat any."

She still harbored a tiny grudge for missing out on the green chocolate from the day before.

Words spoken without intent could still strike a chord with the listener. Aurelia pricked up at the mention of green chocolate. She recalled the chocolate Nina handed those two people under the palm trees was indeed green. And the one she retrieved from Mira was green too.
