Ethan was a nervous wreck at the moment. That car was his. He’d let Nina drive it. But Nina said it was too beat-up and handed it back to him.

His motorcycle was way too valuable to use every day, so he stuck to driving his car most of the time.

Why the hell would that toxic stuff end up in my car?’ Ethan thought, confused.

Nina’s eyes narrowed, and she said, “Looks like the person who poisoned grandma actually has a brain.”

Nina thought, ‘So they’re playing the framing game, huh? If it were anyone else, they’d totally buy that Ethan was the one behind it. But Ethan and I had each other’s backs since we were kids. I knew him better than anyone.

‘Ethan might seem all rough and carefree, but honestly, he couldn’t even watch the house staff kill a chicken, killing someone? No way.

‘Sometimes he’s sharp as a tack, other times he’s totally clueless. Hand him a knife and he wouldn’t even think about using it to kill someone.’

“You believe me?” Ethan asked.

Before Nina could say a word, Ethan suddenly started bawling. “Nina, you’re the best. Guess all that spoiling you got from me actually paid off.”

Nina shot him a look. “This dumb brother of mine,’ she thought, she couldn’t even be bothered with him.

Nina called in Felix and had him guard the garage, making sure no one got close. Then she headed to the temporary lab they’d cleared out for Paul and his team.

Paul and his team, together with doctors from all over Betrico, were working hard to extract traces of the poison from the

charm.

As soon as Nina stepped in, Oscar said, “Ms. Swanson, unless something unexpected happens, the poison’s ingredients are right here on this charm.”

They were only halfway through the extraction, but it was already almost certain.

Stone-faced, Nina walked over, took the charm from Oscar, and rolled up her sleeves to handle the extraction herself. In less than ten minutes, Nina got to her feet and said, “That’s enough, we can stop now.”

Oscar looked at her, puzzled. He asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I know what the poison is,” Nina said.

The three elders all stood up and asked, “What kind of poison is it?”

They asked, but inside, they were floored. ‘No wonder she’s the Miracle Doctor, We haven’t even finished the extraction, and she already knows what kind of poison it is,’ they thought.

“Heartbreak Grass and Thunder,Vine,” Nina said.

“But we ran tests. The poison Sarah was exposed to wasn’t just a simple mix of the two, was it?” Oscar asked, surprised.

“You used whole herbs, so the toxin is stronger and doesn’t match,” Nina said coldly. “This charm’s poison comes from partially extracted herbs, making it less toxic, so the symptoms differ.”

Nina squinted and said seriously, “With my grandma’s age, if the poison were any stronger, she’d be dead in an instant. But

since it’s only half as toxic, all it does is make her look like she’s got a regular cold.”

At first, Sarah’s symptoms were just like catching a cold, and that would stick around for about a week.

A91)

After seven days, things would suddenly get way worse, spreading all over her body. If Nina didn’t know how to treat Sarah, once things got bad, the Swansons would have no choice but to rush her to the hospital.

The doctors would run every test they could think of and end up saying it was some kind of viral infection. But the virus would move so fast, there’d be no way to save Sarah; she’d be gone in just two days.

But Nina did the math. It had been at most three days since Sarah was poisoned; her symptoms shouldn’t have gotten this bad so quickly. But now, after just three days, her condition was already this serious, so there’s only one explanation.

Someone must’ve hit Sarah with a second dose..

Nina’s whole body radiated a cold, deadly vibe, and Paul and the others were visibly startled. But in no time, Nina pulled back that dangerous energy and called Felix over.

“Ms. Swanson,” Flynn said respectfully.

“You and Ethan, go detain our driver right now,” Nina said coldly. “Keep him there. I’ll handle the questioning myself.”
