Isabelle lip's trembled.

She got caught! Brother Kalen noticed!

"I'm out! I don't want to spend any more time on stupid things like this!"

Isabelle screamed and ran out of the room. Anyone can see that it was a runaway.

Kalen, who was watching Isabelle's back, covered his face with both hands.

"Isabelle..."

After a while, he took a deep breath and lifted his face.

"What on earth is mixed with tea leaves for that reason?"

"This."

Kanna quietly raised her finger. Dry leaves scattered on the tabletop.

"Most of the leaves are stiffly spread, but if you look closely, you'll see tea leaves rolled into rounds here. The color is a bit darker."

"I can't tell the difference."

"I guess so."

Dry tea leaves are similar in color and shape, making it difficult to tell them apart.

"This is a red bean flower. A bud, to be exact."

However, it was not for Kanna, who had worked with numerous medical herbs.

This was a medical material that was also used in Korea, and I had touched it dozens of times and hundreds of times.

"The red bean flower tree has almost no scent from the beginning, so you never notice it just by smelling it. I wonder if I could drink it myself like Lucy did."

"Is it poisonous?"

"No, it's an herb."

Kalen's eyes widened. Herbal medicine?

But if it's herb, why did Lucy become that way? Why did Isabelle run away until her fell out?

"Instead, when ingested in large quantities, it becomes poisonous. So, it is a drug that must be prescribed by a doctor."

Poison weed. Kalen's face turned red at the words that came out of Kanna's mouth.

"Is it a dangerous poisonous weed?"

"Actually, it's not that dangerous. Poisoning can cause stomach pain, diarrhea, or something like that."

"Lucy has a hemorrhage."

Anger dripped from Kalen's voice.

"Vomiting, convulsions, seizures, difficulty breathing. It's not like a mild stomach ache, is it?"

"It's because it has ingredients that contradict the medicine I prescribed."

The red bean flower is a medical herb if used well, and a mildly poisonous herb if used incorrectly. However,

"The decoction Lucy is taking now contains a medical ingredient called licorice. When the red bean flower meets licorice, the toxicity is multiplied."

That's why she became so severely addicted.

"I don't think the person who panned this thing would have known that it would grow this far. I guess they just wanted to hurt Lucy a little bit."

Silence fell once again at those words. Kanna continued quietly.

"Perhaps it is because of me. If Lucy continues to get sick, it's like I can't keep the contract. If that happen, I have to leave this house."

"..."

Someone who hates me being in this house must have doing this. Things are more serious than I thought, so you must be shaking by now."

Kanna didn't say the name. There was no speculative remark.
