Chapter 262 Peculiarities
Caleb sent me back to the hospital before he quickly rushed over to check on Leonard. Meanwhile, I went to Julian’s office. He was having a snack as he read documents.
“You’re back.” Julian glanced at me, seemingly checking that I was okay before he continued. to read his documents. He was alone in the office. So, I showed him the sweat–drenched tablet.
“Can y
you check this out and tell me what it is?”
Julian disdainfully pulled out a tissue and said, “Put it here.”
I did as I was told. He frowned and examined it. Then, he sniffed before he shook his head. “I can’t tell what it is.”
“Can you send it for a test?”
“Sure thing. Who’s taking this?” Julian wrapped the tablet and left it on his table.
Car doubts
“Amelia fed this medication to Leonard. She said it’s a pain medication, but I have my about what it is.” It might’ve been my hunch or the weird feeling Amelia gave me. I couldn’t shake the feeling that the tablet was the heart of the problem.
Then, Julian took the tablet and examined it again. “It’s crudely made and doesn’t have a logo. I truly can’t tell what it is. It feels like some small workshop made it. I’ll look into it on your behalf. What’s going on with Leonard?”
“I think he’s rediscovering his memories.” I briefly recounted what happened earlier and told Julian about Amelia’s strange behaviors. His expression had all but grown much more grim,
“It could be a hallucinogen. I think I recall hearing that some of the psychiatrists overseas. used these forbidden medications. On the surface, it seemed to alleviate the patient’s condition, when in fact it served to get them hooked onto the medications.
“Let’s wait for the test result. I can’t be certain of it.”
“What should I do, then?” I was a little concerned. Leonard was still in the hospital. Would he lose his mind if he kept taking this medication?
Julian pushed his glass and rose to his feet. “Go back, and let me handle this. My mentor went away to the college for class. I’ll ask him to help check on Leonard, and I’ll find someone to keep an eye on the hospital.”
All of a sudden, an unusual grin crept up on Julian’s face. It made my heart skip a beat. He very rarely smiled. If he did, nothing good could come out of it.
I went back to my ward, but I was still worried. So, I hurriedly gave Jill a call and told her about Julian’s odd behavior. However, she wasn’t surprised in the least.
“That guy’s a mad scientist. He’s all for conducting peculiar research, and he might very well

intend to use Leonard’s data as the basis of his research.
“Rest easy. The Pope family’s hospital won’t let him have his way. There are security cameras operating 24/7.”
I felt slightly easier, now that I have support from both Julian and Jill. The last thing I expected was for Amelia to be so daring that she’d pull off her heinous plan in the hospital.
Amelia might not have been able to tamper with the medications, but she could do something else.
Amelia posed herself as Leonard’s girlfriend and had free access to Leonard’s ward.
