This was the Shaw family’s own hospital. The doctor quickly approached Mr. Shaw and said, “Mr. Shaw, Madam Shaw’s condition is not a recurrence of an old illness but rather poisoning.”

“Poisoning?” Mr. Shaw’s face changed dramatically.

The expressions on Frank’s and my faces also darkened.

Grandma hadn’t gone anywhere these past few days. She had just stayed at the Shaw family’s residence waiting for results.

And now, she had been poisoned at the Shaw family’s residence…

“What k

kind of poison is it? What is Grandma’s current condition?” asked Frank.

“It’s still being tested. For now, we can only confirm that it is toxic and will rapidly damage the nervous system and liver and kidneys,” the doctor replied. “Moreover, according to the senior experts in the lab, if the antidote is administered within half an hour, it shouldn’t cause major issues. But Madam Shaw is already beyond that time frame. Although she was brought here in time and there’s no immediate threat to her life, she remains unconscious, and it’s hard to say when she will wake up…”

I clenched my fists tightly.

Such a vicious method.

I shifted my gaze to Bethany. Before I could speak, she preemptively shouted with glaring eyes, Charlotte, did you poison her? Grandma was so good to you, how could you be so heartless…”

Smack!

I slapped her hard across the face. “You know better than anyone who benefits from Grandma being poisoned!”

It could only be her!

She had probably known my identity for some time.

Today’s poisoning was meant to wait for a result.

If Frank hadn’t been prepared, and the report from the Smith family’s hospital had successfully deceived Grandma, she might have administered the antidote without anyone noticing.

But things didn’t go that way, so…

The poison took effect.

“How dare you hit me? Do you really think you’re the young lady of the Shaw family?”

Bethany covered her face, her teeth gritted as she lunged at me. I grabbed her arm and threw her aside!

I sneered. “Am I treating myself as the Shaw family’s daughter, or are you?”

“Charlotte!” Madam Shaw, seeing the slap mark on Bethany’s face, glared at me with anger. “Have you lost your mind? If it weren’t for Frank, you’d have been dead a hundred times over!”

At that moment, I truly doubted the authenticity of the paternity report more than anyone else.

I

Is this the kind of person who was supposed to be my real mother?

This world really was quite surroal.

Frank pulled me behind him, his demeanor relaxed as he chuckled softly, though his voice carried a hint of hostility. “The Shaw family is truly rotten to the core,

With that, he turned to me and said, “Let’s go. We’ll go see Grandma.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t want to linger with them any longer.

As Frank spoke, they didn’t stop us from entering the ward.

As the doctor said, Grandma was still unconscious.

After staying there for a while, Frank said we should leave for a meal.

Once we were in the elevator, I said, “We’re just going to leave like this? What if something happens to Grandma again…”

“It won’t happen.” Frank explained, “Although on the surface, Mr. Shaw manages the family business, the actual owner of the assets has always been Grandma. She is also passionate about charity and often talked about donating most of the family’s wealth. Later, she made a will, but no one knows its contents. So, at least until the will’s contents are clarified, no one would dare let Grandma come to harm.”

In other words, any misstep could potentially jeopardize most of the family’s wealth.

I pressed my lips together, summoning my courage and asked, “I really am Lily, right?”
