Chapter 1846

About an hour later, Cordell emerged with the examination report in his hand.

The look on his face was even more serious than before.

Stella’s pulse quickened, a rush of anxiety flooding her senses.

Bella, her nerves frayed, blurted out, “Have the test results arrived? Is there anything concerning?”

Cordell furrowed his brow, directing his inquiry to Bella.

“Is this medication truly prescribed by your family physician? Could it have come from another source?”

Bella pondered for a moment, and then shook her head definitively.

“No, it’s impossible.

Only my daughter and I have access to this medication.

”

“In that case, it’s indeed peculiar,” Cordell remarked, his voice weighed down with concern.

Bella’s voice wavered with uncertainty.

“Is there something wrong?”

“We’ve discovered illicit substances in the medication.

Prolonged use can lead to mental health issues,” Cordell answered, his tone somber.

“What? How is that possible?” Stella exclaimed, her disbelief palpable.

“Are you sure?”

She remembered that Elizabeth had complete trust in this family doctor.

Why would he jeopardize Bella’s well-being? What good would it do to him to hurt Bella?

Bella echoed Stella’s disbelief.

“How could this happen?”

Cordell handed her the report, his expression grave.

“Take a look for yourself.

”

Bella examined the report, her mind reeling.

“Could there be a mistake? I trust the doctor implicitly.

”

Shaking his head, Cordell replied, “I’ve double-checked the results multiple times.

If you doubt it, we can seek another opinion, but the outcome will likely be the same.

”

Overwhelmed, Bella collapsed, her faith shattered by the grim truth.

Stella rushed to Bella’s side, fearing she might faint from the shock.

“Bella, don’t dwell on it too much.

Now that we know what’s causing the symptoms, we can find a solution.

Cordell will know what to do.

”

Bella’s voice trembled with disbelief.

“It can’t be.

How could this happen? How could there be anything wrong with the medication?”

She couldn’t comprehend who would sabotage her health.

If it was the family doctor, why now? He had ample opportunities to tamper with the medication before.

An unsettling thought crossed Bella’s mind, but she pushed it away, unwilling to entertain it further.

The dizziness returned, leaving her incapacitated.
