Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1240
So…it was really caused by that bowl of clam chowder.
“But the purpose of the poison was not to kill her.“ Dr. Yves looked at the medical records, narrowing her eyes as she said, “There was only a small amount of poison in her bloodstream, it’s not enough to make her ill immediately. But it will accumulate in the body, and once it reaches a certain level of concentration, it will erupt. And when it does, the patient will die, even the best doctors in the world can’t provide a cure.“
With that, she flipped open the old lady’s medical records. “Just like this patient, even with the help of all of the best doctors, they’ll only be able to suppress the symptoms, the moment there’s relapse, the patient might die.“
Luna was stunned. A moment later, she said hoarsely, “So…the poison that was used on Courtney, and the one Granny Lynch was poisoned with…is the same type of poison?“
“Yeah.“ The doctor sighed, “Courtney’s situation was an accident, she ate too many fruits in the morning and afternoon, so a large amount of vitamin c accumulated in her body, once it reacts with the poison, it will expedite the rate at which the poison accumulates, heightening its symptoms, that’s why she will fall sick immediately after inhaling the poison. But luckily, she was sent to the hospital in time, she’ll be fine.“
Then, the doctor lif ted her head and glanced at Luna. ”Did Courtney get on the wrong side of anyone?”
Luna remained quiet but felt a chill on her back. Aura prepared the bowl of clam chowder for her, and she, unlike Courtney, was not in the habit of eating a large number of fruits. So , if she too drank the clam chowder, she would not exhibit any symptoms, nor would she suspect that she had been poisoned. After some time, sooner or later, she might end up exactly like Granny Lynch…
”It looks like Granny Lynch’s relapse was also because she was poisoned again.”
Suddenly, the doctor’s words pulled Luna’s thoughts back to reality. She lifted her head, stared at the doctor in front of her dazedly, and said, ”You mean… Granny’s relapse was because she was poisoned?”
”Yeah.” Janet looked at the medical records in front of her, her gaze deep and unfathomable. ”Previously, even though she would suffer some of the symptoms from time to time , it progressed slowly, and didn’t cause much damage. This time , since she suffered a relapse in the afternoon, a few hours later at night, w e almost lost her… ”
As she spoke, the doctor lif ted her head and looked at Luna. ”Did she meet anyone special in the afternoon yesterday?”
Luna frowned and was about to say something when she was suddenly reminded of Adrian Lynch and Celia Giles. She hurriedly pulled up the page for yesterday’s news. The time was clearly stated in the article. Adrian and Celia left the press conference at 11 a.m. Even though the medical records showed that Granny Lynch was admitted into the hospital at…12 p.m. At 12 p.m., Aura was still crying and complaining at the press conference about how Neil was tortured. A cold gust of air rushed from the soles of her feet up to the top of her head.
She remembered how the old lady looked so weak and frail that morning when she begged Joshua and her to forgive Michael. No one would expect that Celia and Adrian would go so far as to physically harm the old lady just to save their son from jail!
How can someone do that to his own mother, even if it was to save his son?
Returning from the hospital, Luna did not even know how to inform Joshua about this. Even though she knew full well that Joshua was very disappointed in Adrian as his father. But she also knew very well that deep down, Joshua was still hopeful that there was a hint of goodness in his father. But if he found out that the old lady might not make it this time and the culprit was Adrian…
Walking along the little alley outside Blue Bay Villa, Luna felt as if her whole mind was in a mess.
”Alright, sis, I know.”
Suddenly, a woman’s familiar voice drifted into her ears, it was Aura. Luna frowned and immediately found a dark corner to hide in.
In the distance, Aura pressed her phone to her ear as she walked, her voice drifting closer and closer. ” How would she find out? After she’s dead, not just the Lynn family, even Joshua will be mine, what are you afraid of? Don’t worry, six years ago, I could trick her into suspecting Joshua tried to kill her. Now, six years later, I can also kill her, while harboring hatred for Joshua.”
