A visit to her doctor seems to confirm plans to poison her. She tells the medical man about her night mares, and premonition that someone is out to kill her.
Jealousy and fear boils. After a perceived poisoning attempt, Lucia is missing, and a mess of blood is found on her sheets. Will Gil and her sister be blamed for murder? Time passes, but with no corpse the matter drops.
