Marriage With A Evil Heart

Seeing the reading on the thermometer, tears immediately welled up in my eyes. I blamed myself incessantly for involving Charles in all of this. He was still so little, and I felt like such an inadequate mother.

“No, we have to go to the hospital!” I said to Robert. “Hurry to the hospital!”

Both Sherry and I bent down simultaneously to pick up the child, but we collided. My vision darkened, and my body swayed.

Robert quickly steadied me, saying coldly, “Let Sherry go with me! Your health is not good; don’t make things worse for yourself! It’s already chaotic enough!”

Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately wrapped Charles in a thin blanket and cradled him in her arms. Her triumphant expression was almost insufferable.

I looked at her in a daze, feeling a sense of reluctance.

Robert reassured me, “Go back to your room and rest. With me here, everything will be fine. We’ll be back soon!”

“But I…” I wanted to say something more, but they had already walked out in a hurry.

I had no choice but to follow them, constantly giving instructions. I followed them to the stairs, watching the two of them rush out. My heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Charles’s illness was all because of me, and as a mother, I didn’t even have the strength to take care of him.

As I watched the door close, I returned to the room feeling lost. Looking out of the window, I watched Robert’s car swiftly leaving, smiling wryly. In their eyes, I must be incredibly weak now.

Before I could recover from self-blame, my hidden phone vibrated. I took out my phone and glanced at it. It was a file sent by Scarlette.

But with just one glance, I felt like lightning had struck me.

Multiple organ weakness, elevated levels of various heavy metals in the body, moderate poisoning. Further aggravation could lead to organ failure, and severe cases could result in immediate death.

These words were chilling to me.

For someone involved in the medical equipment business like me, these terms were all too familiar. I clenched my hands and couldn’t believe my eyes. No wonder my body was so weak; it turned out that I was just a step away from death.

At this moment, Scarlett’s message came in again, and I immediately initiated a video call. Scarlett looked at me on the screen with a serious expression. “Daisy, have you seen the results? Actually, I’m not surprised by this outcome at all.”

“I am surprised!” I gritted my teeth, feeling an overwhelming pain.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

We remained silent for a while before Scarlett spoke gently, “Don’t worry. I’ve talked to the hospital director, and he has prepared a detailed treatment plan. They’ve also sourced detoxifying drugs from abroad, and it should arrive in a few days. If the effect is not good, they’ll consider blood dialysis. Daisy, there will always be a solution. I believe you will recover soon! Don’t worry!”

Her words brought tears to my eyes. “I must survive and personally settle this score!”

“By the way, the hospital director conducted further analysis on that bag of medicine and found that some ingredients are not medicinal herbs at all. To be precise, it’s a rare chemical agent. He mentioned that it can only be obtained from the black market.”

“The black market?” I exclaimed, looking at Scarlett in astonishment.

Scarlett nodded. “Yes, only the black market. It’s a slow-acting poison. This type of agent is colorless and tasteless, making it difficult to detect when added to food. In small doses, it’s virtually impossible to discover. However, prolonged intake causes significant harm to the body, eroding organs until they fail. The cause of death becomes unclear. So, during our initial analysis, we didn’t find any issues. This should have been added after the medicine was brewed, and it indicates that Sherry is definitely involved. She prepared the medicine, and she delivered it!”

“But she doesn’t have the ability or resources to find such a thing on the black market!” I said, each word deliberate, involuntary shivering.
