Mr. Ford Is Jealous

Chapter 945

"Oleander is extremely poisonous. A human or animal that consumes its flower, root, leaf, or seed might die from poisoning." Stella widened her eyes in surprise.

"That bad?" She thought that the oleander's poison would cause an allergy or something at most, but little did she expectthat it was actually so toxic. Zeta nodded.

"It's no joke. The entire oleander plant is poisonous. If you accidentally break the branches and touch the sap, for instance, it will paralyze your skin. Burning the branches, on the other hand, produces toxic gases..."

"It sounds very dangerous," Stella said.

"The prettier they are, the more dangerous they become." Zeta smiled and advised, "You're a novice, so don't pick this one. There are other plants to look at."

"Why don't you recommend one?"

"Sure." Zeta looked around and chose one.

"This is Serissa japonica, also known as snow rose. What do you think?" She recommended the flower and explained, "When snowrose blooms, its white flowers are as dense as the snow. That's why it's called the snowrose, a miniature bonsai. You can put it in front of a clean window. It'll be beautiful." Stella looked at it for a few moments and liked the plant too.

"Thank you for the beautiful plants," she said, subconsciously looking at the oleander a few times. A subtle emotion flashed in her eyes. Zeta did not notice the glint in Stella's eyes.

Having thought that Stella was merely curious, she told her more about the Oleander plant.

"If you have small animals or a small child at home, try not to choose such bonsai. They might just accidentally eat it."

"Oleander is four times more poisonous than a king cobra's venom. Just a single leaf can kill a baby." Stella's hand trembled, and her face changed.

"How about an adult?"

"As long as the dose is enough, it can be fatal to adults. It's also a quick-acting poison, so be careful!" Stella nodded and managed a ghost of a smile.

"It's such a dangerous thing. I'd better not raise it..."

"But it has great medicinal value," Zeta persuaded with a smile.

"Ordinary people really shouldn't raise this plant. Accidents may happen." Stella nodded and took a few more glances. She looked at the fiery red flowers with empty eyes. Stella thought maybe her life would stay this way forever. As long as Weston was alive, she could never be free.

As long as he was alive... Stella couldn't understand why those terrible thoughts flooded her mind. She felt like there was a gigantic tug-a war between two personas inside her, with the black fog that formed over her heart looking like an unfamiliar woman. The woman had the same face as her but seemed more vicious and evil.

"What's the use of holding back? Hasn't Weston hurt you enough over the years?"

"You're such a coward! A loser! A woman has to be hard hearted to make things happen!"

"If you don't take action, you'll get killed sooner or later!"

"Stella, kill him!" The woman who looked just like her suddenly twisted her face.

"Kill him! You'll be free! "Think about it! Remember Guinevere? She killed you because you were pregnant! For people like them, human life doesn't matter!

"Do you think Weston is any different from her? "Other people's lives don't matter to him!

"He'll only threaten you with Roger! "Why are you so soft-hearted to such a man?"

"Kill him..."

"Kill him!" The voice kept reverberating in her ear like a ghost whispering to her. However, it was then that she heard another calm and compassionate voice. "Do you want to become an executioner? Weston might be hateful, but he never wanted your life..."

"What about your dead baby?!" the black fog screamed.

"Who'll pay for your baby's life?" Stella jolted awake a took a step back in fear.

"I..."

Then, she bumped into someone on her back. She turned around to meet Weston's eyes, and cold sweat instantly seeped down her back.
