After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Never Suspected Her

She had originally planned to keep Wyatt Jacobs alive until Liam Grant returned, hoping she could use him to eliminate Wyatt.

But as things stood, Wyatt Jacobs was a liability.

She hadn’t expected Wyatt Jacobs to know about the "City of Zombie" in Keldorn.

Fortunately, he hadn’t revealed it to anyone yet.

Early morning.

A new figure appeared in the small courtyard, but it was one no one could see.

Treasure’s ears perked up, and it stood.

It sniffed a familiar scent, tilting its head in confusion.

Then, as if it understood something, it wagged its tail and returned to its doghouse...

「Inside the Enforcement Bureau.」

A staff member pushed a food cart, making their usual delivery rounds.

Nina Jacobs, still invisible, stood by a door.

As the staff member delivered the meal, she dripped a few drops of a potion into a bowl of porridge...

...

That morning, the treatment room at the base hospital was bustling with activity.

Healers were taking turns treating a poisoned inmate.

But the numbers on the monitor were far from encouraging.

"His condition is still deteriorating. The poison is too potent; the healing technique is most likely useless."

A male doctor in a white coat said, shaking his head.

"Doctor Lynch, is there really no other way?"

"He’s still awaiting trial. Can’t you just keep him alive for a few more days?"

York was already drenched in sweat.

An inmate awaiting trial had been poisoned. This was the Enforcement Bureau’s problem.

"He’s already confessed and signed the papers anyway. It’ll be fine, right?"

Sherry Renner said reassuringly from the side.

"Just be quiet!"

"I’m just asking if he can be kept alive for a few more days!"

York asked again, his voice strained with anxiety.

The doctor shook his head. "We’ve tried everything. I’m very sorry."

"Nina! You’re here."

Seeing her arrive, Sherry Renner quickly waved her over.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "How is he?"

Someone from the Enforcement Bureau had just notified her to come to the hospital. They said Wyatt Jacobs wasn’t going to make it and wanted to see her one last time.

In truth, Nina Jacobs hadn’t wanted to come.

She had been using her Five Senses Enhancement to monitor the situation from a floor above.

She already knew Wyatt Jacobs was beyond saving.

It was the same poison she had taken from the Ice Ability User, Dariel Young, during the mission to rescue Holden Shaw.

She hadn’t been sure of the poison’s efficacy and had planned to return to finish the job after her Invisibility Potion wore off.

But now, it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary.

"Sigh... The doctor says he’s not going to make it,"

Sherry Renner replied, shaking her head.

"It’s you?"

The doctor in the white coat removed his mask, his face lighting up with pleasant surprise as he looked at Nina Jacobs.

"You’re... Doctor Lynch?"

Nina Jacobs almost didn’t recognize him.

Back in Hawthorne Village in City J, it was Easton Lynch who had treated Wayne Warner and prescribed two types of medicine for them.

"You two know each other?"

Sherry Renner asked curiously.

"Yes. Miss Jacobs saved me and the people I was traveling with back then. She saved all of us,"

Easton Lynch replied.

"So, this Miss Jacobs is quite the good Samaritan."

A voice spoke up from behind them.

Nina Jacobs’s heart skipped a beat. ’It’s Heath Chandler.’

’Why is he here?’

Though she was worried, Nina Jacobs composed her features into a suitable expression.

"And you are?"

She looked at Heath Chandler. Several others stood behind him.

Including Adrian Shaw.

"He is Ian Chandler’s father, Heath Chandler."

"We came to check on Wyatt Jacobs’s condition,"

Adrian Shaw explained.

"Mr. Chandler, you know my cousin?" Nina asked deliberately.

"I wouldn’t say I know him. I’m just curious as to why he was poisoned."

"The last person to see him yesterday was you, wasn’t it?"

Heath Chandler had originally planned to visit Wyatt Jacobs in a couple of days.

He hadn’t expected Wyatt Jacobs to be poisoned so soon after his arrival.

According to his information, the last person to see Wyatt Jacobs before the incident was Nina Jacobs.

Heath Chandler didn’t know Nina Jacobs, but when he voiced his suspicion, he found everyone around him giving him strange looks.

"Sir, Miss Jacobs risked her life to save over a hundred of us."

"I’m certain she would never do something like this!"

Easton Lynch said.

’Does he suspect me?’ 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
