Chapter 1987
Jared's sudden closeness had Nicole's heart fluttering faster than usual. She took a while to process what he had said. When she did, her pupils dilated. "What are the results?"
Nicole did not expect him to tell her this information. His speedy resolution of the situation was commendable. She could tell there was something odd with Mr. Riddle Sr.'s medicine. However, she needed to identify the exact issue using professional laboratory tests to curate a remedy to the case.
Jared's eyes darkened, and his voice revealed a hint of coldness. Mr.
Riddle Sr.'s medicine is specially formulated. There were toxic ingredients added to the original nutrient neurovascular formulation. It was hard to detect the toxic ingredient and with prolonged use..."
"Chronic poisoning. Something that couldn't be detected medically." Nicole instantly understood. Her eyes turned cold. If Mr. Riddle Sr.
continued the prescription, he would die of organ failure, and no one would have discovered the poison.
"That's right," Jared replied solemnly.
Nicole bit her lip, wondering, 'Who could it be? Who could be so ruthless?'
The family members of the Riddle family crossed her mind, but she did not dare dwell on it. Only the Riddle family knew about her grandfather's condition, so only they could have the opportunity and motive to act. But Mr. Riddle Sr. was their father, and Nicole could not imagine who would do such a thing.
As if Jared read her thoughts, he gently held her hand and said, "I have sent Janus to investigate that doctor."
"Grandpa's doctor." Nicole nodded slightly, knowing this was the only lead.
Mr. Riddle Sr.'s health had been under the care of a personal doctor for the last few years. Despite his declining health, the butler pointed out that the doctor had not advised stopping the prescription. That seemed suspicious in and of itself.
