Chapter 1351 "Logically speaking, you and Faye were right next to one another. Why was she poisoned and you're not?" added Nial curiously.
Charmine frowned. It was indeed strange how she was spared from the poison's aftermath and Faye was not.
Unless...
Charmine's eyes lit up as a thought came to her.
"Wait for me. I'm heading home!"
She rushed out urgently.
Eddie, seeing her rushing out and not wanting her to go alone, raced after her and drove her back home.
Upon returning to Violet Residence, Charmine put on disposable gloves and went into Fayeâs room to search around. About ten minutes later, she finally found the listening devices she found that Faye had removed.
"Why are you looking for this?" questioned Eddie.
"The flowers' poison wouldn't have caused such a severe reaction on Faye. Maybe this thing has poison on it, too,â theorized Charmine.
After all, Faye only brought the devices and flowers into her room, i Eddie gazed at Charmine, starstruck. She was that brilliant to have discovered the correlation! Still, was there poison on the listening devices, after all?
Terrified, he took eight steps back as he held his breath.
Charmine smiled. "Don't worry, it's sealed."
Eddie let out a sigh of relief. "Charmine, why are you going through so much for that heartless woman? She treated you so badly. Why don't you just leave her be?"
Charmine's eyes darkened. "She should be thankful that she's Frank's sister, or she'd be long dead by now."
Eddie was speechless.
"Okay, get some rest. I'm going to the hospital."
Charmine was about to go out when she recalled something. "Is Anthony not home yet?" she asked.
"Not yet."
Charmine frowned, wondering what Anthony was up to for the past two days. He always went out early and came home late.
Perhaps it was his work, so she did not meddle too much into it. 1 Charmine brought the sealed listening devices back to the hospital and handed them to Nial, saying, "Examine them. Find out if thereâs poison on the listening devices." "Okay."
Nial went into the lab room to run a series of tests, and it was half an hour later that he, at a loss for theory, looked at the report.
The listening devices had poison on them, and it was TUI!
TUI was a chronic poison. Should an individual sniff it daily, the poison would build up in their body and result in overall physical weight gain and rashes on the face. One would die in two years with no observable cause!
Still...
Nial squinted as he asked suspiciously, âThis isn't the same poison Faye was diagnosed with. This is a chronic one, but what was dealt against Faye was instant. The severity is different."
Charmine, who waited by the side, frowned. Was it that peculiar?
Was it not the poison from the listening devices?
How did Faye get poisoned, then?
It seemed like a stalemate once more.
Both Charmine and Nial studied the report repeatedly, and Nial even brought out the report of the poison found on the flowers.
As the night grew murky, everything grew misty. Finding himself on a deadend, Nial cluelessly handed the report to Charmine.
"Perhaps we should just give up and let Faye face retribution..."
After all, it was not a pity for someone like her to die.
Frank was her only boon.
Charmine knew that, too, but she went through the reports nonetheless.
What was the problem?
She saw the data.
[TUI...POLLEN.] [TUI...POLLEN.]
She abruptly turned to Nial. "I think I got it!"
