Chapter 87 - Toxicology Report
"So how did you both meet?" Zane asked April.
April set down her glass and responded, "I was going to ask you the same. But I will answer first, Dean was my noisy neighbour that flashed me one morning. Your turn."
"Wait! What, clarify that, please? You never mentioned that before." Aarna laughed as she questioned her friend.
"I didn't flash you, I was wearing a towel around my waist after I had just got out of the shower." Dean quickly answered before April could pollute the truth further, he was slowly seeing different sides of her and found her teasing refreshing.
"Yea sure whatever excuse you want to give." April teased Dean then turned to Aarna, "He did it on purpose. Now you both tell me your story."
Aarna glanced at Zane to see if he wanted to answer or if she should, giving her a nod she answered for them, "We met online and spoke all day every day for months and although this is only our second time meeting I feel its fate."
Zane nodded, "I don't know how much I can give you or if it's enough. But if you are willing to give me a second chance I will make it up to you."
"Just you is enough, I don't need or want anything else," Aarna answered before she realised what she had said, she blushed she really needed to remember that other people were listening before she opened her mouth.
Aarna turned to Dean next, "So what will happen to the man in the restaurant? I didn't mean to hear you on the phone earlier. I am just worried he will come after April."
April wasn't worried though, she had been through enough in both lifetimes to prepare for anything that came her way. She was ready and prepared for this war, she didn't start it but she would finish it.
Dean frowned, "I wish you had of phoned me or given me a heads up. What if something had of happened?" He dreaded to think if she was as still as gullible as she seemed in her past life. He remembered in his past life that she had taken him into her home and even allowed him to sleep in her bed as she slept soundly in the next room.
"I had everything under control. I am no longer waiting on a hero, I saved myself a long time ago. I just want a weirdo like you to go on adventures with. That's it." April smiled she knew there was a risk but that was exactly why she had brought Aarna along with her, Dean wouldn't allow her to risk herself. But how would she set up the masterminds if she didn't allow them to show her their plan?
"I know you are strong but next time… no let there be no next time. Just keep me informed okay." Dean asked. He didn't want her to take risks and carry the burden alone. He had enemies and so did she, they both needed to work together not separately.
"Okay deal. I don't want to see that face again. You look like I took away your favourite car. Anyway if I didn't go into that room I wouldn't have seen who set it all up." April answered.
"Who was it?" Aarna quickly asked.
"Sophie and Lucy, my step sister. I don't know how they know each other but the fact they worked together to harm me I won't let them go." Sophie had been friendly, to begin with, but April had noticed a small change in her behaviour and comments. What she thought was maybe jealousy or office politics turned out to be a lot darker. She knew her step sister would start to sabotage her as she was too quiet but she didn't expect the two to work together.
"Why would they set you up with a man like that?" Aarna asked.
April glanced at Dean, she wasn't sure if he would run a mile if he knew to what extent her step mother and sister would go to harm her. Some people were truly evil no matter how many lives they lived so in this life and her past life they had only shown her their worst side. She could only keep her soft heart for those closest to her, the rest didn't deserve her warmth and care.
"Well, whatever the reason we can deal with both of them," Dean answered for April when he noticed her lost in thought and hoped her heart wouldn't sway because of family ties.
"They have everything and yet cannot leave me alone to just live my life. I will handle them both, Sophie I don't really care about but my step sister I have to deal with her properly." April admitted.
Zane spoke next, he took out a letter from his suit inside pocket and handed it to April, "This is the toxicology report for the medication you gave me. I had met with Dean to discuss the results when Aarna had phoned me asking for help."
April took the report and opened it up, she scanned the paper her eyebrows furrowing at the results, and she looked at Zane again, "I'm sorry I don't understand all this."
"Don't be sorry many wouldn't understand a medical report, but basically the tablets your father is taking are very harmful especially when taken together and they certainly are not herbal. If taken over a long period his body will begin to deteriorate, it would start with headaches and lead to much worse but I won't scare you further. Do you have a plan?" Zane enquired.
Zane was used to power struggles in established and high class society but April wasn't in that category and yet her family was so vicious to her and her own father. After he found out the results he contacted Dean to meet in person, he wanted to help the little bunny. He even had a plan of his own.
