Chapter 1350
Vicky remained worried. âAre you sure?â
Isabella nodded. âMister Hart is far stronger than ordinary people, which is why whoever tried to
hypnotize and brainwash him failed. He wouldnât have survived until now if he was that easily
provoked.â
Vickyâs heart sank. âDoctor Yelmon, what do you mean that someone tried to brainwash him?â
âI donât know the details, but when I checked his body at the time, I found traces of medications being
used on himâ¦â Isabella paused. âMy senior mentioned that he was poisoned.â
A bitter look emerged on Vickyâs face. âHas his poison⦠been eradicated?â
âAt the time, Mister Hartâs condition was hardly great.
Shortly after the detoxification, he injured himself all over again, and his injuries were so severe that the
toxins in his body almost relapsed,â Isabella explained.
Vicky paled. âRelapsed? Can the toxins that have been removed resurface?â
Isabella clarified, âThe removal of chronic poisons requires a gradual process. Even with a special
antidote, the toxins in his body wonât disappear instantly. The antidote can ensure that he lives, but
complete elimination takes time.â
âSo, nowâ¦â
âRest assured, Mister Hartâs body has been cleansed of toxins with my seniorâs help.â
Vicky sighed in relief but then remembered what Isabella had said earlier. âIsabella, you mentioned that
the poison he was exposed to was a chronic poison, correct?â
âThatâs what my senior said.â
Vicky narrowed her eyes. âHow long does it take for this poison to take effect if itâs not administered
continuously?â
Isabella shook her head. âWho said chronic poisons must be administered continuously to take effect?â
Vicky was confused. âIsnât that the case?â
Isabella knew Vicky did not understand medicine, so she patiently explained, âSome powerful poisons
only need to be administered once. Theyâll take effect when the time comes and are called chronic
poisons. The kind of chronic poison you understand has long been outdated. Continuously
administering poison risks being discovered. Moreover, this type of chronic poison has many variables,
and if the victim happens to undergo a medical examination due to an accident, itâs easy to detect.â
âSo⦠When was this poison administered? Did you discover the answer to that at the time?â Vicky
asked.
âOf course.â Isabellaâs face showed a hint of pride. âMy senior is the most formidable expert in
detoxification among us. No type of poison can escape his scrutiny.â
Vicky frowned. âIsabella, can you tell me when the poison was administered?â
It had been five years, and Isabella needed some time to remember. Eventually, she said, âJudging
from the time Mister Hart was brought in front of us by Theodore, it shouldâve beenâ¦about half a year.â
Vicky asked a few more questions and managed to roughly calculate the time Tyler was poisoned. If
Isabellaâs account was accurate, Tyler must have been poisoned around the time when he was first
brought back to the Hart family.
At that time, she briefly regained her freedom and thought she had broken up with Tyler for good.
However, not long after, Tyler escaped and kidnapped her. During that period, they were alone together
and did not come into contact with others. It seemed as though no one else could have had the chance
to poison him.
Realization dawned on Vicky, and she asked, âDoes this poison cause significant harm to the body?â
Isabella hesitated for a moment, but seeing the genuine concern in Vickyâs eyes, she decided not to
hide anything.â The harm to the body isnât significant, but it has a considerable impact on the mind.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWhen this poison takes effect, the body experiences excruciating pain. Even the most determined
individual cannot bear such suffering.â
