CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 817

To test whether Helena was lying, Suzy put on a concerned expression and grabbed her wrist.

"You don’t look too well. Let me check and see what’s going on."

Feeling her pulse, Suzy quickly realized that Helena’s condition wasn’t as simple as a common cold.

Her system was completely out of balance—her digestion was off, and something wasn’t right.

"How long have you been feeling like this?"

"For days," Helena muttered weakly.

"At first, it was just diarrhea, like I ate something bad. It lasted for several days—at its worst, I was running to the bathroom over ten times a day.

"It got so bad I started questioning my existence. But when I finally went to the hospital, they couldn’t find anything wrong. The medicine didn’t help either.

"After days of that, I finally started feeling a little better today. But now it feels like I’m coming down with a cold—dizzy, lightheaded, my ears hurt…

"Honestly, I just feel terrible all over."

From the way she described it, she was definitely poisoned.

Suzy’s brows furrowed. "When the diarrhea first started, had you been at home the whole time, or did you go out?"

"I went out that day. I had plans with some friends, so I left early in the morning and didn’t get back until late," Helena answered truthfully.

"At first, I didn’t think much of it. I figured I just ate too much or have too many different types of foods.

"You know how it is when women get together—it’s all about eating and chatting.

"And that day, we really indulged. We ate a lot."

"Are you sure you can trust those friends of yours?"

At Suzy’s question, Helena’s expression darkened.
