Nina gently helped Sarah onto the bed and checked her pulse. Within seconds, Nina’s brows furrowed in concern.

Sarah didn’t catch the look on Nina’s face. She took Nina’s hand in hers and said softly, “Nina…”

Sarah’s words pulled Nina back to reality.

She could already guess what Sarah wanted to say, so she replied “Making the Mercer family go under was never my intention.”

Sarah was taken aback for a second, and then smiled warmly. “You really do always read my mind.”

Sarah leaned back against the pillows and said softly, “I’m not blaming you, it’s just…”

Nina’s brows drew together. “Grandma, I know how to handle things. You don’t need to worry about me. The Swanson family can’t have a marriage alliance with the Mercer family.

“Even if Ryan hadn’t made a move, I’d make sure the Mercer family wouldn’t stick around for long.”

Sarah was stunned. “You…”

She somehow felt that when Nina said those words, her whole aura changed.

Nina radiated the aura of a true power player. Even without Ryan’s help, she was absolutely sure she could bring down the Mercer family.

Nina paused for a moment, and then said, “The Mercer family isn’t just tangled up in murder cases. There’s a whole lot of dirty business going on, too.

“The evidence is airtight, and the authorities have already set their sights on them. The thing is, the Mercer family’s web of connections is huge. Taking them down would drag a bunch of people into the fallout.”

Nina left the rest unsaid.

But Sarah was stunned. She shot upright in bed. “You mean… Martin…”

Nina didn’t answer directly. “Whether Martin lives or dies, it doesn’t matter to me. You care about the Swanson family, and I’ll protect it for you.

“Grandma, some things are better left unsaid. Just focus on living well. I’ll keep the Swanson family safe for you.”

Sarah was quiet for a long while before suddenly looking up at Nina. “This is the kind of stuff that’s supposed to be top secret. How come you know all this?”

Nina didn’t say a word.

Sarah paused, her face shifting. “Alright, I won’t ask anymore, and you don’t have to tell me. I’ll just pretend you never said anything. Nina, just promise me one thing. Keep yourself safe.”

Nina nodded, letting the topic drop. She switched gears. “Grandina, are you feeling unwell?”

Sarah smiled. “Just old age catching up with me, nothing serious

She’d started feeling a bit off a couple of days ago. It wasn’t anything major, just trouble sleeping. She kept having weird dreams, and she was always tired, couldn’t really get her energy Hack.

She thought it was just a cold from waking up a lot at night, so she didn’t pay much attention. But things got worse today, so

she went to see a doctor and got some meds.

But she hadn’t even taken the medicine yet. Vivian kept putting off and dragging things out until now.

Nina’s brows knitted together, her expression darkening. She talked to Sarah every day, so if Sarah wasn’t feeling well, she’d have picked up on it immediately.

But the past couple of days, she hadn’t noticed anything off. Downstairs, she’d already sensed something was wrong with Sarah, even though she looked perfectly normal.

But just now, when Nina checked Sarah’s pulse, she realized it was worse than she thought.

The pulse was weird, like it was just a normal sickness, but at the same time, it felt like poisoning. She couldn’t figure out what kind of poison it was.

Nina’s brows knitted tighter. Scarlet was a poison expert, and Nia had picked up almost all her tricks. Nina’s skills with poison actually outmatched her medical abilities.

But she couldn’t even tell for sure if Sarah was poisoned or just sick.

Nina hesitated, and then asked, “Grandma, have you come into contact with anything unusual lately? Or have you eaten anything strange?”
