But my husband clenched his fists, and the veins on his arm bulged.
I had never seen him like this before.
His eyes were dim, and he spoke with some difficulty,
"She is dead."
2.
My baby was gone, and my mother-in-law was dead.
After a while, I still couldn't accept this fact.
I asked him what exactly happened.
He said the police initially judged it as an accident, because there was only my mother-in-law at home at that time.
On the day of my car accident, my mother-in-law died of poisoning in the warehouse at home. Surprisingly, the cause was dry ice that I had stored at home to use on stage.
"The police said more than that. The autopsy report also mentioned cyanide poisoning. The investigation found that there was an excessive amount of cyanide in the chia seeds that you and my mother used.
But don't worry. The hospital has already checked. The amount you ingested is relatively small, so there is no major problem."
My husband's words made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Is this... an accident?"
"No, that's not right! Why didn't your mother escape? Dry ice will produce a lot of smoke!"
I voiced my doubts in my heart.
