Molly did not realize that she had revealed a secret at all. She argued, "We didn't just investigate the tea but also the sapphire jewelry. All of them have runes drawn on them. Hugo said that it's no big deal if the runes are just on objects, but they can be fatal if ingested."
Joseph keenly grasped the main point. "You guys investigated it?"
"Yes, we did."
"Who is Hugo?"
"Hugo is Hugo! He's the Little Flame Team's-" Before she could finish her words, Molly finally realized what had happened. She covered her mouth tightly with a trace of horror in her eyes.
She had almost confessed everything?
Molly sneaked a peek at Lucille, who was lying on the bed. Seeing that she did not react, Molly figured that she had not heard what Molly had just said.
Molly closed her mouth tightly. Even if Joseph were to try to bribe her with two trucks of candy again, she would refuse to say a word.
In the end, Molly simply ran away and said, "If your wife wakes up, remember to tell me!"
