Neil, fraught with worry, demanded sternly, “What’s going on? Why did Grandma faint again?”

“Shut up!” Katelyn snapped, rushing to Carol’s side.

She carefully checked Carol’s condition and became visibly upset. How could this happen again?

Carol’s condition had deteriorated significantly, her vital signs plummeting swiftly, echoing the earlier symptoms of poisoning. Was it possible she had been poisoned again?

“Prepare for emergency treatment immediately!” Katelyn ordered, her hands trembling yet firm as she ushered Carol towards the operating room without a second’s delay.

This operation proved even more daunting than the last. Previously, Katelyn had confirmed that Carol’s fainting was due to poisoning. But this time—

The operation stretched on for four and a half hours, leaving Katelyn’s surgical gown drenched in sweat. When she finally saw the stable readings, she exhaled a deep sigh of relief.

Her eyes then sharpened, a fierce anger flickering within them.

Carol was now in a VIP ward, under continuous watch by the security and medical team. Neil and she were present as well. Yet, despite their vigilance, Carol had suffered harm twice under their watch.

After the operation, Carol was moved out of the surgery room. Neil, standing at the door, wore a somber look.

His gaze fixed on Katelyn, Neil demanded an explanation. “You need to tell me why Grandma is going through this again.”

Katelyn’s eyes snapped sharply toward Neil. She hadn’t even started questioning him, yet he was already demanding answers.

“How is the investigation into the previous poisoning proceeding? Any findings?” Katelyn asked, her suspicion mounting. She had a strong feeling that the same individual was behind both incidents. After all, only they and the hospital staff had access to Carol’s ward.

Neil, his eyes shadowed, reclined in his wheelchair. “No results have surfaced yet.”

“And Lise? Where might she be?” Katelyn’s anger intensified. She couldn’t think of anyone else to suspect other than Lise.

Neil grasped Katelyn’s implication and responded promptly, “Lise couldn’t possibly want to harm Grandma. She has no motive.”

“Then who else could be responsible?” Katelyn’s fists clenched, her eyes filled with animosity. Her aura turned cold and daunting, causing even Neil’s pupils to shrink.

Was she displaying the commanding presence of a top physician?

“Remember, your grandmother is a major hindrance to Lise’s marriage into the Wheeler family. Should anything happen…” Katelyn let her words trail off, the unspoken threat hanging in the air.

Neil’s expression grew sterner. After a brief pause, he maintained his trust in Lise. “Lise is kind and innocent. How could she be capable of such an act?” Content originally comes from find·novel·net
