Chapter 104

“Dr. Geller, how’s the investigation going? Did you find anything?” Joseph called up Arthur.

“It was a computer technician’s error. We’ve already let that staff member go. To avoid causing alarm, we’ve already wrapped up the investigation.”

“Oh. Did you find out who was behind this?”

“Based on our investigation, no one was behind this. It was just a staff error. Dr. Hart, the patient’s family raised no objections to our investigation results. The case is now closed.”

After the call ended, Joseph grew more confused. He became more convinced that there was more to the story.

Joseph pulled out Lionel’s medical history records and went through them again. He realized the information wasn’t complete, so he went back to the hospital. He used Lionel’s checkup as a pretext to request more medical records.

Once he was home, he went through everything for another two hours. Finally, he spotted something unusual in a subtle detail in the data.

Lionel’s condition had taken a sharp turn for the worse overnight. He was in critical condition, yet it wasn’t enough to take his life.

“How could that be such a coincidence? What products could cause tumor metastasis?”

Joseph shifted his focus to drugs that could have triggered the reaction. Suddenly, it hit him-he recalled seeing a particular product in the toxicology data from Nonagon Chemical during his last review.

“Nonagon Chemical again? That’s one of Cora’s businesses. Could it really be her?

“Last time, that incident at the Jenton University Hospital dorm already ruined my reputation. And now this is happening at the Traditional Medicine Center? If I lose my place in the medical world, I’ll have no choice but to stay at home as a househusband, completely under her control.

“Cora, you’ve been cheating on me for years. You even had three kids with three different men. Even after the truth came out, you refused to admit it. And now you keep coming after me. Don’t push it too far!”
