Chapter 8 - The True Guardian
"I noticed she only grew sleepy after drinking the evening milk prepared by Sabrina," Grace explained, walking over to Lily and kneeling beside her. "I couldn't make an official charge without hard evidence, so I spent the last three months secretly documenting every dosage and gathering lab samples."
Ethan knelt beside Grace, his eyes filled with profound gratitude and emotional relief. He wrapped his strong arms around little Lily, holding his niece tightly against his chest as tears finally broke past his composure.
"I failed to protect you, sweetie," Ethan whispered into Lily's hair, his voice cracking with emotion. "I brought a monster into our home because I was too blind to see."
Lily shook her head gently. She reached out her small hand and touched Ethan's cheek, then pointed directly at Grace. "Grace kept me safe, Uncle Ethan. She told me to stay brave until she found the truth."
