Chapter 796
The warmth in Cedrick's eyes dissipated at that very moment. They turned cold and deadly like the water in an abyss. "Is that what you want to hear?"
"No lies In front of the dead. Yes, that's what I want."
"Hah! Very well, then!" Cedrick guffawed in anger, no longer bargaining with Catelyn. "If this is what you want, then I’ll do as you wish."
Catelyn felt a chill and forced herself to stand firm." Thank you."
Cedrick was dying to know what she was thinking as he warned furiously, "Don't ever appear in front of me again, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
With that, Cedrick left without looking back. He swore that he would never take the initiative to find and please her like a simp anymore.
To be more precise, it was futile to ask her anything until the truth was made known.
As she watched Cedrick walking away, Catelyn clasped a hand over her mouth as she cried in agony, no longer able to hold back the sadness in her heart anymore. She could only bite the back of her hand forcefully, so as not to let the cry leak out to alarm him.
She did not know how long she had stayed in the cemetery by herself with her mind lost until Joanne came to find her.
It was Cedrick who told her she was here.
Catelyn returned an apologetic smile as if nothing had happened. 'Ì made you worry."
"What's important is that you're safe and sound. You didn't see how worried I was! You're not allowed to run away without informing me anymore! God knows I'm going crazy looking for you..." Joanne sighed in relief as she returned Catelyn's phone to her.
Catelyn unlocked her phone and found many missed calls, not only from Joanne and Miles but also from the hospital.
It had to be about the result of the drug test in the needle tube.
Joanne then drove Catelyn to the medical laboratory of the hospital.
The laboratory doctor called Catelyn into the office alone, took out the severed needle very seriously, and stared at her. "Ma'am, where did you get this thing?"
"My friend asked me to test it. Is there a problem?"
The doctor saw that she might not have any idea what the needle could cause and said, "We've tested the green liquid in it, and it's been confirmed that it is a potent poison. After being injected into the human body, it can cause a high degree of cerebral hypoxia in a short period that can lead to brain death."
'Cerebral hypoxia? Brain dead?' The combination of these words made Catelyn stunned. "Is this poison? Could the test result be wrong?"
"The laboratory report is here. If you don't believe me, you can see it for yourself. Young lady, this drug is very poisonous, so you have to be careful." The doctor
handed a stack of heavy reports to Catelyn with a shaky hand even though he was a doctor.
Seeing that Catelyn was in shock, Joanne pulled her aside and asked, "Where did you get this needle?"
"After my mother's accident, I went back to Ocean Path Residence to rest for a while, and I accidentally found it on the ground."
Fortunately, she had a terrible feeling about it and took it to the hospital for examination that night, otherwise, the truth of Stella’s accident would be untold forever.
