Hanson narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at April.
April gave him a slight nod, indicating that he had checked this room, and no one would be able to spy on them.
Only then did Hanson massage his temple and drag Vania up from the hospital bed. "That's enough. They are long gone. Stop your acting."
Vania instantly stopped wailing and instead regarded every one with a bright grin. "What do you think? My acting is brilliant, isn't it?"
Hanson nodded in agreement, although his mind was saying something else. Her acting was brilliant, albeit a little too exaggerated, but he did not dare to criticize her. So, he turned his focus to Lily.
"What's going on?"
James answered, "It's Lilith. She poisoned her, so we outwitted her with her trick."
"Lilith," Hanson snarled viciously. "How did you guys find out?"
Jack snorted derisively before he commented, "She wrapped the poison in the shape of candy and gave it to Lily. Thankfully, Lily's highly skilled in medicine and immediately noticed that the candy was laced with poison. She gave us the look, and we instantly acted out the play."
It was fortunate that Lily knew medicine… Otherwise, he couldn't bear to think about the consequences.
The rest of his children were also filled with righteous fury. "Daddy, that woman is vile! We can't let her off the hook so easily."
"That's right!" Morales and Morgan were equally indignant. "How dare she hurt Lily!"
"This is outrageous!" Jude was even more furious because the same people had poisoned him the other day.
It was Lily's turn this time, which would only mean there would be a next time. What would happen then? Maybe all his siblings would be poisoned one day.
The children were also frustrated because they were still young and couldn't go up against adults. Otherwise, they would find the bad guys and beat the crap out of them.
Hanson reassured the children, "Don't worry, kids. I noted every action they took. I'll make them pay for what they have done to you."
The children knew that they needed to remain calm. It would likely affect the whole situation if they acted rashly and unwisely. Hence, they nodded obediently. "Okay, got it."
"Good." Hanson ruffled their hair gently in comfort and then asked Lily with concern, "Are you sure your body is fine?"
"Don't worry, Daddy. I'm fine."
Nevertheless, Hanson was still worried. The poison was so noxious that it gave him creeps whenever he thought about it. Thus, he turned to April and urged, "You'd better check on her one more time. Make sure she's excellent."
"Relax." April chuckled. "Take my word for it. She's fine, but don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her for the next few days. What are you planning?"
Hanson was confident that Eddie was behind this scheme because one could only make this poison in his laboratory. Furthermore, Eddie was blatantly provoking him by using this exact poison.
"Do you think it is the end of it?" Vania snorted and looked at April. "There's even more scandalous news that you don't know yet."
April didn't understand what Vania was implying, and he inquired, "What news?"
"Do you want to make a guess?"
April recalled the recent news in the entertainment circle, but he didn't remember seeing anything unique or bizarre, especially related to Hanson. "Give me some hints, okay?"
Vania smiled mysteriously. "I bet you won't be able to guess. So, I suppose I'd better tell you."
"Hurry up!" April pressed for answers.
"Yvonne and Eddie teamed up. How about that, hm? I did say you wouldn't be able to tell." Vania shrugged nonchalantly as she couldn't help but think that she had been in a gossipy mood for quite a while now.
