Stephanie stared at Ella, completely shocked. She couldn’t believe Ella would do something like this.

Seeing Ella break down, Stephanie knew she couldn’t just sit there and ignore it. She had to figure out what was going on.

Ella’s situation was completely different from Allison’s. Asking about Allison was out of respect. But with Ella, if Stephanie didn’t get to the bottom of this, she had a bad feeling that she wouldn’t be able to take Ella with her.

“Hey, stop crying for a second. Tell me what happened. Come on,” Stephanie said, trying to stay calm.

‘Almost killed Lorenzo? If Ella’s telling the truth, this is worse than I thought, Stephanie thought.

Ella was crying so hard that she could barely breathe, her words coming out in broken sobs as she told the whole story from last night.

She explained that she needed to change Lorenzo’s bandages and give him some medicine. She was mixing the meds and pouring water, and the internal and external medicines looked similar. In the end, she mixed them up.

Stephanie looked at her and said, “Mixed them up? That’s not the end of the world, right? Just the wrong medicine.”

Ella sniffled. “He took the external medicine, the one for the wounds. It’s pretty strong.”

When she said “strong,” it was clear how serious the situation was. That made everything feel a lot more dangerous.

Stephanie listened to the whole story and just stared at Ella, speechless. “This is so stupid,‘ she thought.

Ella wiped her tears. “Am I really that dumb?”

Stephanie nodded silently. Seeing Ella cry like that made her not want to be harsh, but she still asked, “What happened after that? There wasn’t any serious damage, right?”

Ella was still alive, so Lorenzo must’ve been okay in the end. If something serious had happened, the people around Lorenzo wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

Ella sniffled again. “In the end, it was fine. Just a scare. But I was terrified. His people looked like they were ready to eat me alive.”

At this point, Bernard had already gone to find Lorenzo. If he had heard Ella say this, he might’ve said, “I haven’t even gotten mad at her yet. If she’s this scared without me raising my voice, what would happen if I actually did?”

Stephanie chuckled. “Yeah, if it were me, I’d probably want to eat you alive, too.”

Lorenzo was just hurt, but Ella almost took his life.
