Chapter 87 Poison

Wasn’t it clear enough? He couldn’t even explain why Ursala had slipped into a coma.

It seemed like this one was beyond him.

“Let me handle this.”

Amelia strode directly to Ursala’s bedside without any courtesy. She pushed Gianna aside and prepared to take Ursala’s pulse herself.

That abrupt action immediately enraged Gianna, who had been standing there.

Her pretty expression darkened, and her sharp tongue came out.

“Really, Amelia? You don’t even know the basics of medicine, so quit acting like you do. What, you think touching her wrist will tell you something?”

The longer Gianna went on, the harsher she sounded. “Even the family doctor couldn’t figure it out, and now you’re pretending to be a doctor. Who are you trying to fool?

“I know you’ve never cared for Grandma, but don’t use her condition as your stage.”

Her words hit like a slap.

Several clueless brothers standing nearby chimed in.

“Yeah, Amelia, stop pretending you know everything. Grandma’s health isn’t a game!”

“Even the doctor’s at a loss. You really think you can outdo him?”

“Just because you once found someone to help Aunt Thea doesn’t make you some miracle worker!”

When the brothers finished, Emery and Raymond also spoke up.

“Amelia, step aside and let the doctor do his job!”

“Stop showing off. Why can’t you act more like Gianna, who truly cares for Grandma, instead of putting on a show?”

Amelia ignored all the ridicule and insults. Her entire focus was on Ursala..

Her eyes stayed calm as she gently pressed her fingers against Ursala’s wrist, concentrating on the rhythm. The noise around her faded into nothing.

Secing Amelia act like she didn’t exist only made Gianna angrier.

She reached out, trying to drag Amelia away from the bed.

“Move! Stop this nonsense. Just because Grandma can’t respond doesn’t mean you can do whatever you like.”

Right as Gianna’s hand was about to grab Amelia, Thea finally cut in, “Enough! Let Amelia do it.”

She thought smugly, I covered my tracks so well. No way this fool could prove anything. Even if she suspects, she’ll never link it back to me.

“Let me ask you. Did you check for rare herbs? Did you consider Grandma’s meals, or whether something in her surroundings could be harmful?”

The doctor froze, at a loss, and shook his head. “I’m a doctor, not an investigator. I can’t think of every angle. The tests showed no sign of poisoning.”

This girl is absurd, he thought. Nothing like her sister; she’s always suspicious, always overanalyzing.

What does she think this is, some kind of mystery drama?

Amelia folded her arms. “If you can’t see it, that’s your shortcoming. This poison would never appear in a standard test.”
