Chapter 527 [Bonus Chapter] Fed Her Poison(Chapter Preview)

"Do not forget how we made too many wrong decisions before being together."

'Yes, go on Leo. Go and leave this empire in search of the girl who had no relationship with you so that i get the chance to snatch everyone you ever felt affinity too.' Hannah who was hiding behind the door and looking at the lovey dovey scene of both of them smirked as she knew she was succeeding more easily than she had thought.

She noticed how Leo kissed Evan tenderly on her forehead and hugged her softly as if he was afraid of hurting his child that was in her womb and her eyes burned with hatred.

She hated how they still had the time to enjoy these precious moments when she had made sure to bring chaos to the whole palace.

How could they still smile and love each other when she had sown the seeds of discord that deep.

Whenever she looked at smiling face of Evan she felt like worms were crawling all over her body.

She leaned on the door as her eyes burnt with hatred and her hands clenched into a tight fist.

Just when she was about to turn to peek again, she felt his eyes snapped open and looked straight at her.

She felt her heart leapt out of her ribcage at that instant but she held herself.

"What is it?" he asked in a cold voice as he saw a new maid peeking at them when she trembled.

"I.. I was sent to serve the medicinal soup to the lady by my new master, physician Herbert." as the words left her mouth, his pressing aura instantly cooled down.

"You are his new apprentice?" he asked with a raised brow as he knew how the old man was of conservative thinking. Who would have thought that he would take a girl to teach his knowledge when he never found someone worthy enough to teach medicine to him.

"Well.. I am trying to convince him. For now, I am working as a maid in general." keeping her head lowered the girl smiled awkwardly when Leo nodded his head.

"At least he is acknowledging your presence. Keep up the hard work. I am sure you will be successful in your goal.`` His tone was encouraging, even Evan nodded as she tried to sit up while staring at the soup.

When the eyes of the girl sparkled. 'Of course, no matter who is standing in my way. I would make sure to win and achieve my goal. But who would have thought that you would pray for your own demise, Leo! And here I thought that you would be a wise and cunning person.' she hid her expressions that were full of disdain in the pretense of bowing her head in front of them.

"It has an awful smell." Evan covered her nose instantly as the soup came closer to her and hid her face in the chest of Leo who rubbed her back soothingly.

"I.. the medicine had affected the quality of the soup my lady. But it is good for your health, my lady." She persuaded the woman. What was with her? Mostly she takes the medicine no matter how bitter it was!

Then why was she throwing a tantrum today? Could it be that she knew what was in the medicine! No! It was just her sixth sense talking but she knew how to tame a woman like her.

"It is all for your baby, my lady. You should try to endure." she added as she picked up the spout from the tray and brought it closer to Leo instead of Evan.

"I am sure the lady would drink it if it was given by my lord." yes! Give her poison from your own hands Leo so that the whole world knows she has made a mistake choosing you.

You are nothing but a cold hearted monster who knows nothing but slaughter.

Leo nodded as he took the medicine from her hands and took a spoon out of it. He blew air on it to cool it down as he felt the awful smell too but did not react.

"Evan, come here and take your medicine, my love." he called her in an endearing tone that she blushed.

He hardly called her so in front of everyone that she flushed but could not say no this time. With a defeated look on her face, she took a sip of the medicine but made a bitter face as it went through her throat.

"It also tasted awful." he rubbed her back soothingly again as he continued to feed her the soup when Hannah nodded and left the room with a triumphed smile on her face.

"Yes, Leo. Keep feeding her like that, I will reach my goal earlier than I thought." she whispered softly with a vicious expression on her face as she walked back to the kitchen.

"Lord Ethan is asking for his meal." she announced when the maids looked at her with a wary look on their face but she did not care.

She was going to be the mistress of the house soon. Why would she care if the maids did not like her.

Soon, she would throw all of them out of the house anyway. With that thought, she scoffed and picked up the tray that was served for Ethan and walked out of the kitchen with her head raised high.

She was so angry when he had brought her into the palace as a maid but who would have thought that it was the solution to all her problems.

If she would have been announced as his lover, would she have access to all the palace and to the rooms of others this easily.

Now she was free to do whatever she wanted with no one to ask her questions.

She hummed an old folk song as she continued to walk towards his room but just as she was about to reach the door, she looked around and mixed powder in his soup too with a bright smile on her face while her eyes filled with craziness.
