Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

"Yeah, Mr. Charrington, you and Mrs. Charrington should stay abroad for now. This poison is really strange; symptoms suddenly appear. Some families are still seeking medical help, unsure if they’ve been poisoned." Nathan could not help but sigh. He did not know how many people had been poisoned.

"Is everything alright in the Charrington Manor?"

David hadn’t called the Charrington Manor recently and was a little worried about his grandfather.

Nathan said, "Mr. Charrington, the first thing I did was to go to the Charrington Manor. There’s nothing wrong with Mr. Logan Charrington. It’s just that all the major families were poisoned except for us. I wonder what the mastermind is trying to do."

"Keep an eye on it. I’ll go back as soon as possible," said David.

The call ended and David did not speak for a long time. "Did something happen?" Danielle felt a little uneasy. She only heard the phone call saying something about being poisoned.

"Patrick, track down this butler according to the portrait." David glanced at the killer who was trembling in fear. "Kill them all."

David thought, ’These assassins aren’t a big threat, but I won’t give them a chance to escape and regroup. I can’t leave any security risks for Danielle; no one caught by me can get out alive.

Nathan replied, "Yes."

David turned around and held Danielle’s hand as he walked out. Behind him, there were wails and pleas for mercy. The smell of blood spread throughout the entire basement. It was obvious what was going on inside.

"Danielle, things have been unstable in Soufield recently, with poisonings affecting all the major families, including your family. All of your older brothers have been affected; only Mike, who wasn’t at home, is safe," said David. It was obvious that Darling family was hiding the fact that Danielle’s brothers had been poisoned. He did not want her to worry, but this matter could not be hidden from her, so he chose to tell her.

"What? Were my brothers poisoned? What about my parents? Are they okay?" Danielle asked anxiously.

David replied, "There’s nothing wrong with them at the moment. The symptoms appeared suddenly in those affected. Most people aren’t even aware that it’s poisoning. It was Nathan who figured it out."

When Nathan said that, David had already deduced that those people had been poisoned. It was impossible for so many people to have the same symptoms for no reason.

"I’ll call my parents and ask." Danielle took out her phone and called Vivian.

"Mom, are my brothers in the hospital? Are they okay?" As soon as Vivian picked up, Danielle hurriedly asked.

Vivian said, "Danielle, so you’ve known that. Your brothers are at home. The doctor can’t tell anything. Austin deduced that he might have been poisoned, but he’s not sure yet."

The Darling family was discussing the illness in the study. When Danielle called, Vivian put the phone on speaker so that everyone could hear it.

Danielle told Vivian, "Mom, describe the symptoms of my brothers."

Joseph spoke up, "Danielle, I’m Joseph. In the first few days, my body was very tired. Occasionally, I would have a headache. Recently, my bones have also hurt a little. Sometimes, I would faint."

Danielle had a general idea of the type of poison involved. It had a short incubation period, caused severe pain throughout the body when it struck, and led to respiratory difficulties in later stages. She needed to hurry back to her country.

She said, "Joseph, I’ll get my friend to send the antidote home first. It can delay the poison. I’ll go back as soon as possible. I’ll help you cure the poison when I get back. Also, you have to pay attention to the servants at home recently."

This type of poison could only have been administered by someone close to the family. She needed to quickly identify and expose the person lurking within her household.

"Danielle, why don’t you stay overseas for a while?
