Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 

Susan was momentarily stunned and wanted to say something more. 

But seeing Ben’s resolute demeanor, she sighed and said no more. 

Whatever the consequences, she was ready to face them with Ben. 

If the king and queen of the Tonico were really unreasonable, they could not sit still and wait for death. 

Thinking of this, Susan naturally did not have a good impression of Alexander and Judith. 

At that moment, a doctor hurried in. 

“Mr. Landor, the test results are in,” he whispered to Ben. “There was something else mixed in with the nutrient 

solution.” 

Ben’s expression darkened, about to discuss the matter elsewhere. 

But Susan stopped him. 

“What happened, Ben?” Susan asked.. 

“It’s nothing, Susan. You should rest,” Ben replied. 

Susan watched him quietly. 

Ben felt a little helpless under her gaze. After a long time, he sighed and sat back down. “If you have something to say, just say it.” 

The doctor hesitated, glancing at Susan, then said, “Mrs. Landor, the test results are back. The nutrient solution that the nurse at Appolis Hospital was about to administer to you had been tampered with. It contained an additive that, once introduced into your bloodstream, especially considering your recent blood donation, would have rapidly deteriorated your health. Given your weakened state, the chance of fatality was…” 

The doctor paused and said, “Over ninety percent.” 

Ninety percent!

Ben gripped Susan’s hand tightly. 

If he had arrived a minute later, even if it was just a minute. 

He might never see Susan again in his life. 

Susan, however, remained calm. 

It was ridiculous. 

It seemed almost natural that her biological father would want her dead. 

Susan reassured Ben and said, “Don’t worry. Nothing happened, did it?” 

Ben didn’t respond, just held Susan’s hand tighter. 

Susan held his hand.

But her grip was weak, relying on Ben’s strength to maintain the hold. 

Susan looked at the doctor calmly. “Did the nurse say anything after the results were out?” 

The doctor shook his head. “Mr. Landor instructed me to inform him first. I haven’t been updated on the nurse’s situation.‘ 

Susan lowered her gaze. “No need to ask, really,” 

Both Susan and Ben were well aware that Carl was behind everything. 

Both she and Ben knew very well in their hearts. 

“Susan, Ben said softly, “Rest here for a bit. I need to take care of this matter.” 

The incident where Susan nearly lost her life couldn’t just end like this. 

“Ben.” Susan didn’t try to stop him, knowing she couldn’t. Instead, she gently said, “I know you’re angry, but remember, I’m still here and fine. I want to spend a long, happy life with you.” 

In essence, she was urging him not to do anything irreversible in a fit of anger.

Ben’s gaze softened, and he gently touched Susan’s hair. “Don’t worry.” 

After ensuring Susan was comfortably tucked in, he left the room. 

Susan watched him leave, worry flickering in her eyes. 

If Ben had been the one endangered, she doubted she could have remained calm either. 

Yet, they were dealing with the top figures of Tonico. 

Susan sighed deeply. 

Things had already come to this point! 

Even if they were high–ranking officials, they couldn’t just stand idly by and be attacked. 

She just hoped Ben would be cautious. 

Outside the emergency room. 

Yana was no longer in danger but was still in labor. 

Everyone was waiting anxiously. 

But Carl was visibly more unsettled than before. 

He couldn’t stop thinking about the nurse who had been temporarily detained, and cold sweat formed on his forehead. 

Despite having made some arrangements. 

However, there was no telling if the nurse would implicate him. 

If she did expose him, he would be ruined. 

Unable to keep calm in his usual spot, Carl fidgeted restlessly. 

Jane, unaware of what had transpired, glanced at him curiously. “What’s wrong?”

Chapter 268 

Carl hadn’t shared his actions against Susan with anyone, so Jane genuinely didn’t know. 

As Jane questioned him, the others also cast strange glances at Carl. 

Carl quickly replied, “Nothing, just… nervous about Yana’s critical moment in childbirth.” 

“Yes, I’m very nervous too,” Jane said. 

Alexander gave Carl a knowing look, his gaze deepening. 

Carl hadn’t been this nervous even when Yana’s condition was at its most dangerous.. 

Now that the doctors had said Yana was mostly out of danger, his sudden anxiety seemed out of place. 

F 

It seemed not right. 

Alexander held his suspicions in check, not voicing them just yet. 

As Carl was consumed by unease, a nurse came out pushing a bed. 

“Nurse! How’s Yana doing?” Jane rushed forward first. 

On the bed, Yana, now conscious, was pale but had a tiny baby by her side. 

The nurse said, “Congratulations! It’s a boy, and both mother and child are safe.” 

The mother and son were safe. 

Hearing the words, tears fell from Jane’s eyes in relief. 

Thank goodness. 

The mother and son were safe. 

“Thank goodness, they’re safe.” Judith and Alexander also felt reassured. 

The corners of Yana’s mouth curled up, and she was just about to an 

Ben followed them, calm and composed. 

Cold sweat broke out on Carl’s forehead. 

Ben! 

He must have uncovered something. 

Had the nurse implicated him? 

He felt doomed. 

He was done for. 

Carl’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the floor. 

His dramatic reaction drew everyone’s attention.
