He inquired, âDo you suspect there might be an issue with the milk powder this time?â
Zenia nodded in agreement.
Kyson narrowed his eyes and said, âNot only has Colby consumed this brand of milk powder, but Destinee has as well.
You suspect thereâs an issue with this new can⦠but Colby has only consumed milk powder from old cans.
It doesnât add up.
â
Zenia, perplexed, scratched her head.
She realized Kyson was correct and felt confused.
Kyson then retrieved the childrenâs food bags, placing the two types of milk powder in separate bags and labeling them as ânew milk powderâ and âold milk powderâ.
âNow that we have these doubts, we must identify the source.
Iâll send these samples to a professional agency for detailed analysis, and Iâll inform Nathan and Lucinda.
â
He then carefully tucked the two samples of milk powder into his suit pocket.
Just as he was about to leave the N&L Fairy Land, Zenia stopped him.
âDestinee hasnât yet had the chance to try the milk.
Should I give her the new milk powder?â
âLetâs not rush.
Soothe Destinee for now.
Iâll visit Nathan and bring back two cans of new milk powder that Colby had in the hospital along with some mild medicine.
That should be safe,â he advised.
Zenia nodded.
âThank you, Mr.
Shaw.
â
Kyson nodded back and then departed from the Payne familyâs home.
He quickly relayed the information about the milk powder to Nathan.
Nathan, always prompt, directed the professional testing division of the National Security Bureau to analyze the two milk powder samples.
That evening, Nathan received the test results.
At that time, Lucinda, Nathan, and Kyson gathered in the hospitalâs waiting room.
Colby was already asleep, and to avoid disturbing the child, they chose a quiet spot to discuss their concerns.
Nurses were caring for Colby in his VIP ward, with officers from the National Security Bureau stationed at the door for safety.
âWhat are the results? Tell me,â Kyson urged, his heart racing at the sight of Nathanâs stern expression.
A chilly glint shone from Nathanâs deep eyes.
Though it wasnât directed at Kyson, the tension it created filled the room.
âThe tests show the new milk powder is safe.
The problem lies with the old milk powder-it contains hormones that arenât suitable for infants.
Occasional consumption might be harmless, but long-term use could weaken a babyâs immune system, leading to serious illness or even sudden death,â Nathan explained.
Kyson, infuriated, stood up and began to pace.
His normally calm face was etched with rage.
âWho would do such a thing? Itâs despicable! They didnât spare even the young children.
How could they use hormones to harm the babies? No wonder Colby has been growing increasingly listless and losing his appetite.
â
Lucinda gripped her dress with a grave expression, yet confusion lingered.
âIf the old milk powder is contaminated, why is Destinee fine while Colby becomes ill, even though they drink the same milk every day?â
Nathan responded, ââDestineeâs body is stronger than Colbyâs.
Her immune system is more resilient, which might be why she hasnât shown obvious symptoms.
