Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 259

Marcus took deep breaths to calm himself. 'It's okay. You talked to people who assured you no one would notice the poison in the bottle, ' Marcus reassured himself.

His mind continued to race, 'Grandpa's heart isn't what it used to be anyway and he could die anytime. So Grandpa's state is normal for his condition. But how did the doctor know there was something wrong with the infusion bottle?'

It's impossible!

Impossible, ' Marcus debated with himself. He couldn't figure out how the doctor knew there was a problem with the bottle.

"Doctor, what's wrong? What's going on? Did something happen? Please tell me,"

Edmund asked with his eyes on the doctor. His eyebrows were knotted in confusion while he was waiting for the doctor to give him answers.

"Mr. Edmund, it seems like somebody added a foreign substance in one of the infusion bottles. I suspect that's the reason why Mr. Nicholas' heart weakened significantly overnight. I checked Mr. Nicholas' condition last night and his was doing well. His heart may be weak but that's still not a reason for it to reach this condition now," the doctor explained.

Actually the doctor was baffled about what happened. He took his notepad to write and handed the paper to the nurse. "Get me these medicines immediately!" The nurse nodded and left the room in a run.

When he saw the doctor write on his notepad and the nurse scramble out of the room, the hairs on the back of Edmund's neck shot up. 'What is going on?'

He craned his neck to glare at Marcus. If the doctor wasn't in the room with them, he would have lashed out right then and there.

Marcus avoided Edmund's glare and kept his eyes on the floor. "Calm down, Father. It wasn't me. I was in the hall during the night. I didn't even enter Grandpa's room," Marcus lied. "If someone wanted to poison Grandpa, it wasn't me!" Marcus squealed at his father.

He cursed to himself, 'This was supposed to be foolproof. No one was supposed to find out. Damn!'

But a thought popped into his head and calmed him down.

'As long as the poison is in the old man's body, he will never wake up.

Then my plan still worked. And my goal also accomplished.

And even if the doctor found that there was poison in the bottle, they can't prove it was done by me. No one saw me add the poison anyway, '

Marcus reassured himself. He took a deep breath and put a smile on his face.

This was a military hospital. And the people who worked here worked for Nicholas. Marcus didn't dare ask any of them to help him. He couldn't risk being betrayed by one of them.

A few minutes later, the nurse returned to the room with the doctor's request.

She had brought back all the infusion bottles used last night and gave them to the doctor.

The doctor took all the bottles from the nurse and turned to Edmund, "I'm taking all these bottles to the lab to check if they were tampered with." Edmund nodded and the doctor left.

Because of Nicholas' special status in the hospital, anything that needed to be done for him was done urgently. The doctor was back in no time with the results.

"Mr. Edmund, unfortunately, my guess was indeed correct. Someone did add poison in the infusion bottle between eleven o'clock last night and one o'clock this morning," the doctor told Edmund. "Who could have done this?" Edmund asked. The doctor shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, we can't determine who did it. But we do have information about the poison, including its name and what it will do to its victim." The doctor handed the lab results to Edmund.

The doctor scanned the room from the corner of his eye. He leaned in closer to Edmund and said, "Mr. Edmund, I strongly believe that the person who poisoned Mr. Nicholas is still here in this hospital." "I'm afraid the hospital can no longer help you in that manner. I suggest we call the police to handle it," the doctor suggested.

Edmund scanned the document in his hand but he wasn't retaining any of it in his mind. He was still stunned but he needed to be strong for his father.

Edmund finally acknowledged the doctor and said, "Doctor, don't call the police. This involves my family's business and I need to handle this myself. Please do everything in your power to save my father."

Edmund requested after his mind cleared.

This might be a grave matter but this was a scandal that could destroy their family. The public couldn't know about this.

If the news got out that Nicholas was poisoned by his own family, it would be fatal for the reputation of the Ans.
