His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 353
"Poisoned?" Sophia was stunned and couldn't believe what she was hearing.
The doctor rattled off a bunch of medical terms she didn't quite understand.
Then he explained it again in layman's terms, and it finally clicked.
Caleb had been poisoned with a chronic toxin that was colorless and tasteless when dissolved in water. Small doses didn't cause any obvious symptoms, but prolonged ingestion would slowly damage his internal organs and eventually become fatal.
While Tessa was still in critical condition, Caleb had been rushed into the ER as well.
The hospital issued a critical condition notice. After Sophia signed it, she stood there in a daze.
Pieces started falling into place in her mind. She remembered how Caleb had been losing a lot of hair lately. She'd noticed it, of course.
But she didn't think much of it and just assumed it was age catching up to him. A lot of men around that age start going bald, some even ending up with those classic horseshoe patterns.
Then there was his dwindling appetite and the dark circles deepening under his eyes. He looked more drained as the days went by, hollowed out, even.
She had noticed it all but just didn't care.
Their marriage had been emotionally dead ever since his affair over two decades ago. The two of them had only kept up appearances over the years, and there was no real bond left between them.
Caleb had felt that something was wrong with his health.
Lately, work at the company had been overwhelming. Even though Ralph had handed over power to Stephen, he still held the title of chairman at Jacobson Corporation.
It was the family business, after all. As chairman, Caleb couldn't just ignore it.
Like Sophia, he chalked up the hair loss to aging. As for the insomnia, lack of appetite, and the pain that would come and go, he figured it was just stress and overwork.
He'd planned to go in for a full-body checkup once things calmed down at work. But his body gave out before he got the chance.
Caleb being poisoned was a big deal. Sophia immediately called Ralph and Rowena.
After the poisoning was confirmed, Sophia also went in for a check-up herself. Some of the tests came back quickly. But the blood work required fasting, and she had to wait until tomorrow morning for that.

Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
