Chapter 120 Something Isn't Right

Natalie looked over to where the small sachet was hanging from. Smiling, she took it down and gently placed it by Estella's pillow. "It's here. Go on and fall asleep with the fragrance around you." It was meant to calm the mind and soothe nerves. Estella clutched the sachet close and quickly drifted to slumber to Natalie's gentle bedtime story. Natalie affectionately left a kiss on her forehead, tucked the blanket snugly around her, and tiptoed out of the room after switching off the lights. She didn't know that the seemingly harmless sachet had already been tampered with. Hidden within were several kinds of herbs that, if used over time, could damage the nerves. While they released a soothing fragrance, they were, in fact, harmful. As they only carried a faint scent and Natalie hadn't brought it close to her nose, she didn't realize something was off. Clarissa's trap had been laid in silence. She would push all the blame to Natalie the moment Estella showed signs of discomfort.
