Chapter 570

Leaning on Sumner for support, Lindsey exited the doctor’s office without a word.

“Linds, what’s all this about the weight-loss pills the doctor mentioned?” Sumner asked, full of concern.

He knew Lindsey wasn’t the person who’d do anything to make the trainees lose weight.

Besides, Xiomara wasn’t even a trainee in the company; she was an average employee.

“Sumner, I’ll fill you in on the details later.

Right now, there’s something urgent I need to check.

Could you please get in touch with Xiomara’s family for me?” Lindsey requested urgently.

“Of course,” Sumner responded, nodding promptly.

Grateful for his assistance, Lindsey quickly forwarded Xiomara’s family contact information to him.

Without wasting any more time, Lindsey rushed to that medical research institute.

En route, she noticed Xiomara’s incident had already blown up online.

Public sentiment quickly turned against Lindsey, with negative comments flooding social media.

“Have you lost your conscience, Lindsey?” One comment read.

“How could you ask your trainee to take low-quality weight-loss pills for a quick fix? Is your thirst for success so great that you ignore human life?” another accused.

“The moment she gained a bit of fame, she started exploiting her artists.

I hope her unethical company shuts down soon!” Wrote another person.

Lindsey switched off her phone, choosing to ignore the online vitriol.

It was crucial for her to remain composed and not panic.

Half an hour later, she was waiting outside the medical research institute.

She had called Leonel earlier to escort her into his office.

No sooner had Lindsey entered the room than she burst out with her query.

“Xiomara took the weight-loss pills you gave me, and she suddenly started foaming at the mouth and had to be rushed to the ICU.

Are there any known side effects of this medication?”

Sitting across from her, Leonel responded calmly, “That medicine has undergone a series of clinical trials recently, with no significant side effects reported.

In fact, we’re going to launch it in the market soon.

”

“Then, why did Xiomara…” Lindsey began, only to be interrupted.

“Are you sure she didn’t take any other pills?” Leonel asked, his eyebrows arching in curiosity.

His question left Lindsey deep in contemplation.

Lindsey pondered it carefully.

When Xiomara collapsed and was swiftly transported to the hospital, the reporters swarmed in like bees to honey, bombarding her with queries about the weight-loss pills the moment they laid eyes on her.

However, Lindsey remembered that she had privately provided Xiomara with the weight-loss drugs.

The mystery remained: How did the reporters catch wind of this unless someone had preemptively leaked the information, foreseeing this entire scenario?

“Could Xiomara’s medication have been tampered with?” Lindsey raised her eyebrows, fixing her gaze on Leonel in wide-eyed astonishment.

Resting his chin on his hand, Leonel said, “It’s still possible.
