Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 839

“What’s happening? Why would they have seizures all of a sudden? They were all fine before they went out.”

The moment Jonathan got back, he saw the three children lying down neatly in the nursery. He was hopping mad!

Kira was so frightened that she got down on her knees.

“Granduncle, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken them out for dessert. The desserts must have been too cooling for the children, but I didn’t know they couldn’t take it. I’m so sorry.”

Tears were flowing down her face as she apologized. She even started to kowtow to Jonathan as a gesture of her remorse.

Before Jonathan could respond, Sasha, who was attending to the children, stood up.

“It has nothing to do with cooling desserts. Old Mr. Jadeson, I think you should arrest the boss of the dessert shop. These children have been poisoned.”

“Poisoned?”

Everyone froze.

As for Jonathan, his face looked thunderous!

“Say again! How?”

“The dessert they consumed was made with tapioca flour and sea buckthorn. There is nothing wrong with the combination of these two ingredients. However, he added lychees afterward. The combination of the three ingredients can cause a sudden high fever in children and subsequently, seizures.”

Sasha proceeded to share her findings.

At the same time, she had brought back the ingredients from the dessert shop in order to convince the old man.

When Jonathan saw that, a fierce, murderous aura shot out from his eyes!

Kira was paralyzed with fear.

Poisoned?

That can’t be true. Aunt Jasmine had said nothing of that sort.

All she wanted me to do was to bring the children to that street and have them tainted with bad luck. How in the world did it become a case of poisoning?

Kira was petrified. “No, it’s not like that. Granduncle, I-I don’t know anything about this. I really don’t…”

“We will know soon. By the way, Old Mr. Jadeson, if the owner of the dessert shop denies it, you can do a check on the desserts that he has done in the past. Ms. Woods has mentioned that this was his signature dessert.”

“You-”

Right there and then, Kira could no longer refute anymore, and her face had turned pale.

Since it was a signature dessert, then it must have been served before.

However, none of the other children had encountered such a reaction after consuming the desserts. If they had, the business of that shop would not be thriving.

Why then has it happened this time around?

There can only be one explanation. Either Kira or the pastry chef is lying.

Jonathan immediately sent his men out.

More than ten minutes later, his bodyguards informed him that the dessert shop was already closed, and the pastry chef had taken his own life.
