“But, with my very own eyes, I saw you bring the medicine here to me.” Janet was utterly flummoxed.

Elizabeth then told her the whole story. “When I was about to leave, I ran into Rosa. I asked her why she hadn’t left yet. She said that the nurse asked her to send the medicine to you, but then she said Mr. Wesley had something urgent to talk to her about, so she had to leave. That’s why she asked me to bring you the medicine, so that she could go attend to her other engagement with Mr. Wesley.”

Elizabeth continued, “But are you certain that there is something wrong with the medicine?”

“My husband has had samples of it analyzed. The results came back and there is definitely a purgative agent in it,” Janet answered.

Elizabeth kept mum when she heard her response.

It was not until then that it dawned upon Janet. She said, “Rosa must have tampered with the medicine and asked you to deliver it to me. That way, she could place the blame squarely on you.”

Elizabeth still kept completely silent.

She was never a fan of people scheming against each other.

Janet noticed her lengthy silence so suddenly ventured a question, “Penny for your thoughts? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Elizabeth shook her head.
“But, with my very own eyes, I saw you bring the medicine here to me.” Janet was utterly flummoxed.
