All Too Late novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184 His Ex Wife

The Yoeger residence was quieter than Kathleen had expected.

It seemed that no one from the Yoeger family had predicted that someone would intrude into their residence.

Even so, it was a good thing for her, for she could relax a little.

Kathleen managed to enter the residence easily.

She had ordered someone to map out the Yoeger residence’s building plan and mark which room Frances was sleeping in.

Because Frances had trouble walking, she was staying in the room on the first floor for convenience.

Kathleen found Frances’ room and gently opened the door.

There was only one nightlight turned on, and the room was still kind of dark.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Kathleen quietly walked into the room and closed the door.

In small, quiet footsteps, she sneaked over to Frances’ bed.

Kathleen took out a candle that was meant to lull a person to sleep. She was about to light it when she heard Frances speak. “Who are you?”

Kathleen paused in shock.

She put down the candle and looked at Frances. “I…”

“Do what you want,” Frances said as she closed her eyes.

Kathleen was at a loss for words.

“Old. Mrs. Yoeger, I’m Kathleen.” She bent down.

Frances opened her eyes once more to take a good look at Kathleen. “Oh, you’re that woman from the Macari family?”

“I’m Samuel’s ex-wife,” Kathleen answered. “But not anymore.”

Frances looked her dead in the eye. “A man who likes Nicolette is not a good person. I recommend you to give up as soon as possible.”

Kathleen was stunned momentarily. “Is it true that you are becoming senile, Old Mrs. Yoeger?”

“Who said that? They’re the ones becoming senile!” Frances said harshly. “Wait, who are you?”

Once again, Kathleen was rendered speechless.

Forget it. There must be something wrong with Old Mrs. Yoeger if she’s acting this way.

Kathleen lit the candle.

After Frances dozed off, Kathleen took out a silver needle and inserted it into Frances’s right hand.

She then took it out after a short while.

The end of the silver needle had turned black.

It seems that Old Mrs. Yoeger is really poisoned. It’s not because of Alzheimer’s disease.

Kathleen took out more silver needles and started treating Frances.

After thirty minutes, she took out all of the needles and found that all of them had turned black.

Kathleen furrowed her eyebrows.

Judging from the needles, Kathleen thought that Frances had been poisoned for more than a few days.

Moreover, it was a chronic poison.

Whoever that did this was very smart.

If that person had used a type of poison that would take effect quickly, it would be easy for others to diagnose that Frances had been poisoned.

However, since they had used a slow, chronic poison, it would be harder to detect.

It was fortunate that Kathleen thought that something was wrong and came to the Yoeger residence.

Or else…

Besides, Kathleen knew that Vanessa would stop them from coming to visit Frances.

If she hadn’t come that night, she probably would have never gotten the chance to see Frances anymore.

Kathleen looked down at Frances’ pale face while her eyes teared up.

Frances probably never expected that her own biological daughter would poison her.
