Chapter 41: And Why is That?

Ileus curled his fingers beneath her chin and tipped her head to look at him. "I agree. But Nyles had plenty of people to talk to, and you— you just had her." 

Anastasia's eyes darted between his. A heavy breath left her. That was the truth. She heavily depended upon Nyles for everything, especially after Iskra died. She was her eyes and ears as far as Vilinski was concerned. 

"So that brings me back to my doubt. Why did she attack me when I was doing nothing but trying to save you?"

Anastasia wanted to say that Nyles was probably acting like her guardian, but she became quiet. After all, it was Ileus who had helped her escape and he hadn't harmed her. At this point of time she was confused. She couldn't fathom who the hell poisoned her. Heck, at this point of time even Darla looked like a convincing candidate. "I really can't understand…" she sighed. Now she was too sleepy.
