LIFE AFTER PRISON - Season 4 Episode 61

“I see. It’s a slow-acting poison that takes a long time to kick in but is extremely deadly. Have I got that right?” Sheila sighed lamentably. “I didn’t expect Lena to be that sort of person. Our family has always treated her very well, and she has worked many years for us.”

Severin smiled and said, “Lena looks like an honest person, and she wouldn’t have understood. what she had been doing. She must’ve placed the incense under someone else’s instruction, and now that I’ve rid you of your poison, Lena will very likely meet the person who told her to do it. We just need to follow her to find out who’s the true culprit!”

Zachariah gave Severin an enthusiastic thumbs up. “You truly are amazing, Mister Severin. I am fully convinced by your abilities, for you have a perceptive mind in addition to your excellent medical skills. You have my utmost admiration.”

Sheila finally had a realization. “Now I understand why Lena panicked and had such at frightened look when you yelled at her earlier. She wouldn’t have reacted like that if she did not do anything wrong! Now that I think about it, something is off about her reaction earlier!”

“Mister Severin, when you say that, do you mean that the poison from the wooden chair will only be effective if mixed with the incense that Lena lights in my room every night? Will I be able to keep the chair and just avoid lighting any incense?” Zachariah said.

He remembered Lena telling him a few months ago that there was a kind of incense that would. help him sleep, hence the reason she recommended it to Zachariah. He did not think too much. about it at the time, and he did feel a noticeable improvement in the quality of sleep after using it for a period. As a result, he continued to use it until the present day. Had it not been. for Severin’s help, he might well have died suddenly without ever knowing the cause of his death.

Severin smiled wryly when he heard Zachariah’s words. “Are you that reluctant to part you’re your wooden chair? I understand that it’s a rare piece of workmanship that you cherish deeply, since the material is good and the carvings are detailed too. Unfortunately, you cannot use that wooden chair anymore. Take it out and burn it, and make sure to do it in the courtyard in front of everyone, especially Lena!”

“I understand,” Zachariah said with a nod.

“The incense won’t hurt you if the chair’s gone. You can continue to use it if you like!” Severin then added.

“Not a chance! I’m traumatized by that incense now, and I wouldn’t dare to use it again!” Zachariah smiled bitterly.

“Alright, I’m almost done here, so I should be heading home. Call me if there’s anything else you might need!” Severin then prepared to leave.

“Sheila, could you please send Mister Severin off?” Zachariah immediately said.

“Sure thing!” Sheila was overjoyed of course. Though Zachariah still did not want her to marry Severin, it was obvious that his attitude toward Severin had improved tremendously. With time, she believed that Zachariah would eventually accept Severin.

Sheila followed Severin with her hands behind her back and she peeked at Severin’s handsome profile from time to time as he walked out with her “Thanks, savior! I wouldn’t know what to do today if you weren’t around!”
