Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1266
Nellie continued clutching her throat as she cried out to Nigel, “Quick, help Great -Granny get the water out! “
Nigel froze for a moment, then shook his head. “It’s no use anymore…“
Great-Granny had been using this jug and glass for almost a year, and Celia was the one who had prepared the water for her during this time. If Celia had intended to poison her…then this day would not have been the first day.
“What are you talking about, Joshua?“ Celia, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, could not help but frown upon hearing this. She tossed the photos in her hand onto the coffee table and stared a t Joshua with an accusatory expression. “We’ve been living in peace all this while, and I was just pouring Granny Lynch and the children some water out of kindness. How could you accuse me of poisoning them as soon as you drip some paint into the water?“
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, then proffered the medicine to her. “Aunty Celia, let me introduce you to this. This is a drug testing substance that was provided to me by a famous doctor abroad. It’s formulated specially to detect the kind of poison that was given to Granny Lynch by the Landry family many years ago.“
With that, he poured a glass of water from the water dispenser machine next to him and put a drop of the poison testing substance into it.
However, the water did not change color at all.
The color drained from Celia’s face as she stiffened.
However, she still did not want to admit the truth. “ Who knows if this is the same substance that you put inside Granny Lynch and Nellie’s glass? Don’t think that you can scare me with some color-changing paint! “
“That’s right.“ Michael scoffed and chimed in, “I don’t even know where you got this paint. Didn’t Luna put a few drops of this into the soup last night? The color was much darker than the color of the water just now.
“When I saw the greenish hue, I thought it was some special condiment, but there was no taste to the soup at all.
“If this paint can really detect poison, then why am I fine right now? it’s already been 24 hours since I drank that entire bowl of soup.“
Adrian immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this. He said in a shaky voice, “Michael! You…you drank the soup that Luna poured a drug-testing substance into?“
Michael glanced at Adrian and Celia, who were as pale as ghosts, and said, “Why are you so worried? I’m fine.“
“What do you mean, you’re fine?“
It was clear that Michael had drunk the soup that Aura had poisoned.
Celia was agitated by this and immediately dragged Michael out of the room. “Come! Go to the hospital with me! “
“I’m fine, really! “
“You’re fine now, but this is a slow-acting poison. It’ll only take effect when it’s achieved a certain concentration in your body after a while! How can I be sure that the poison won’t take effect inside you without undergoing a checkup? l’ll be worried sick! “ Celia cried and brought Michael out of the room.
Their voices grew further and further away. The entire living room fell into silence.
As soon as Adrian lifted his head, he met Granny Lynch’s furious gaze.
He let out an awkward cough and said, “Um, I’ll go check on Michael, too.“ With that, he tried to escape.
However, Nigel stood up and blocked his path. “ Granddad, it seems like you’ve known all about the poison that Grandma Celia put into the water all along. Don’t you think you should stay and explain what your entire family is trying to do to Great- Granny and Daddy?“
