My Heart only Beats for You

Tremaine frowned at his grandmother's words.

He spoke in a low but stern voice, "Grandma, before we find out what happened, don't make any rash judgements."

Madam Quartley raised her voice and said to Qiana, "Qiana, tell Tremaine what happened. Yesseca gave Montez a bag and cookies and that's why Montez is sick now, right?"

Qiana bit her lip. She looked like she was being put in a very difficult position.

Seeing Qiana's expression, Madam Quartley became madder.

She wondered how gullible and naive Qiana could be. Her naivety was maddening.

It just so happened that such a kind-hearted woman had met a vicious woman like Yesseca!

"Qiana, didn't you hear what I said?" Madam Quartley raised her voice again.

Qiana was a little startled.

Only then did she speak, "Mr. Tremaine, Miss Cowell came to Montez today and gave him a bag of cookies because she heard that he enjoyed it. She said that she baked the cookies. I was there and I even thanked her."

"I knew that Montez really wanted to eat the cookies so I gave him some after dinner. He then slept afterwards and woke up in the middle of the night with a fever and diarrhea."

"Qiana!" Madam Quartley was exasperated. "What else can I say to make you understand? Did you forget what happened last time? Yesseca gave Montez cookies the last time and Montez had diarrhea as well. How can you let Montez have the cookies again? Are you even looking out for your own son?"

Hearing Madam Quartley's words, Qiana almost cried.

Her eyes were red as she said, "Madam Quartley, Miss Cowell baked the cookies so I figured there wouldn't be any problem. Miss Cowell didn't just give the cookies to Montez, but also the servants. How would I know that it would make Montez sick? Maybe Montez's immune system is a little weak which is why he got sick."

Madam Quartley was infuriated by Qiana's words.

She felt that Qiana was too kind to the point that she was making a fool out of herself.

"The doctors have tested that the cookies were contaminated. How could Montez be sick because of himself?"

"I..." Qiana looked like she was about to cry.
