The three others stood agape.
“Thaddeus, it’s been twenty years, where could you get the evidence?!” Evadne seized the man’s hand.
Thaddeus interlaced his fingers with hers, his voice hoarse and deep, “Remember when I told you I went to track down that maid who used to work for my mom?”
The woman nodded obediently.
“People often have a premonition when disaster looms. Before Elspeth met her end; the maid seemed to sense danger. Gordon sent someone caught her in time, and then, well, I had to resort to certain measures.”
Thaddeus took a deep breath and continued, “In a state of sheer panic, to save her son, she revealed some truths, things not even mentioned in that recording, the real truth.”
He was innately good–hearted. If it hadn’t been a dire necessity, why would he use a kid’s life as a leverage to coerce, to threaten, to become a merciless fiend?
Evadne believed that even if the maid had remained obstinate, Thaddeus would not have harmed her son. He couldn’t do it. If he had, how would he be any different from Avery?
“My mom was killed by Elspeth. It was Elspeth who poisoned her with her own hands,” Thaddeus’s eyes were rimmed with red, struggling to contain the surging waves of hatred, making his hand, held tightly by Evadne, as cold as a block of ice.
“Poisoned with her own hands?!” Arnold and Aaron were so shocked their faces stiffened.
Gordon swayed as if he had been struck by a heavy blow! Evadne’s throat tightened, the air seemed thin, and her chest felt crushed by a massive stone.
Anyone else would have gone mad, but because Thaddeus had not, the calmer he remained, the more her heart ached.
“Mr. Abernathy, what in the world happened then?” Aaron pressed urgently.
“The maid confessed that she had indeed followed Elspeth’s orders to switch out my mom’s depression medication, but she replaced it with harmless vitamins that wouldn’t be fatal. However, during that time, maybe Elspeth sensed my mom and Frederic’s relationship thawing. Afraid of complications, she switched the harmless pills with a poison. Taken in small doses daily, it would accumulate and cause a heart attack, sudden death,” Thad’s broad shoulders trembled as he uttered each word, each syllable laced with ice and bone–deep hatred.
Tears welled up in Evadne’s eyes, her soft hand gently stroking his back.
“How did the maid know all these details?” Arnold, the prosecutor, eager for information, questioned.
“She saw it.”
