Premonition (4)

Flynn looked at his sisters then at Xiehan who was wondering why he wouldn't let Han Xichen check on him. "Can I have a word with my sisters?"

"I'll be outside." He nodded and pressed a reassuring kiss on Lanni's cheek before leaving.

"Are you okay, Luna?" Flynn asked. "It might be triggering to you."

"Nothing is more triggering than you hiding such news from us." She glared at him.

He reclined back on the pillows. "Han Xichen poisoned me." He sighed.

"What?" Lanni muttered under her breath, finally understanding things she thought didn't make sense in the past. Why would Flynn be so obedient to Han Xichen if he hated him so much?

"He would give me an antidote every week to weaken the poison. He is the only one who had it so if I ever disobeyed him, he would let the poison take effect. It was agonising." He swallowed.
