Chapter 981 Put The Scissors Down

Laura was afraid to look closer. She turned and ran downstairs. In a few seconds, she was in the courtyard, sweating and panting.

"My Lord, Young Master, there's something wrong with Lady Victoria! She committed suicide by taking sleeping pills!" she gasped.

James started panicking when he heard these words.

"What? What are you talking about? How could this happen? You're supposed to stay by her side 24 hours a day!" he yelled.

"I...I don't know. Lady Victoria said that she was thirsty, so I went to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. When I got back, I saw her just lying unconscious on the bed," Laura explained.

Then, remembering the most important detail, she added, "She swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. I found the empty bottle in her hand."

"Let's go upstairs and take a look," Linda suggested. Then, she told the servants to look after Little Tomato and Little Potato before rejoining Charles, Violet, and James.

Linda didn't believe that Victoria would put an end to herself. Besides, overdosing on sleeping pills was a painful way to die. 'Wait a minute, did she buy into those lies from TV shows?

Some TV shows show that overdosing on sleeping pills is a painless way to commit suicide. But that's not true. Anyway, I don't think Victoria is so foolish. She is just a spoiled crybaby.

She won't really put herself in danger, ' Linda thought as she walked to Victoria's room.

When she entered, she saw Victoria lying on the bed.

"Victoria! Are you okay? Don't scare me like this!" James yelled.

He immediately rushed over to Victoria. Victoria was lying still with a pale face.

Linda took a closer look as well.

"Did she take a lot of sleeping pills? I think we need to get her to the hospital.

We have to get her stomach pumped," Linda said to Laura, keeping her eyes on Victoria.

"I don't know. I was in the kitchen when Lady Victoria took these pills," Laura replied.

"But you said that she swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills, didn't you?" Linda asked.

"I said those words because I found an empty bottle in her hand," Laura said in a low voice.

"Oh, I see. Well, if she swallowed an entire bottle of sleepi

he ring to the left and a small marble shot out.

Although the marble was small, it was heavy enough to shoot down the scissors in Victoria's hand.

Victoria's finger was scraped in the process."Ouch!" she shouted, slumping down onto the floor and looking at her wound.

She sat on the floor, looking as though she was about to cry. The dragon ring made her feel even more upset because she had known this ring since her childhood.

She had once imagined that the dragon ring would belong to her someday, but she was wrong. This ring had never belonged to her and could never belong to her. Charles had given this treasure to Linda.

"Linda, why did you do that? Why did you stop me? I don't want to live at all anymore," Victoria said. Her eyes welled up with tears of sadness, as if she was being bullied by Linda.

Linda shook her head helplessly when she heard Victoria's words. 'Oh, come on. Just save it. I don't care at all if you live or die. But if you really want to kill yourself, do it somewhere else. I don't want to see your body, it will make me sick. Committing suicide is just a trick of yours. But you can't threaten me with it, ' she thought.

However, she didn't say all these words out loud. James and Violet were here, and she didn't want to fight with Victoria in front of them.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

I won't stop you the next time you want to kill yourself. Are you happy now?" Linda asked, shrugging her shoulders.
