They had to wait for Grant to wake up to find out the truth.
However, overwhelmed with resentment and grief, Roxanne was inconsolable.
While waiting for Grant to wake up, Roxanne noticed her mother's blissful smile in her parents' wedding photo, which was hanging on the wall in Grant's room. Instantly, tears started streaming down her face.
Just then, Lucian entered the room with some food for his wife. While she ate, he gently wiped her tears away with a piece of tissue.
Roxanne did not eat much due to a lack of appetite. When she was done, Lucian passed her a glass of water without insisting that she finish her food.
Fixing her gaze on Grant's face, Roxanne could not help but curse her father silently in her heart. If my mom was indeed poisoned to death by that homewrecker, you would be no different from a murderer!
After all, you were the one who brought her back.
You will have to pay for my mother's death!
A while later, the police arrived. They checked the surveillance recordings, took the statements of two housekeepers, and drew a blood sample from Grant to test in the laboratory.
They left after promising Lucian and Roxanne that, once the laboratory results were out, they would arrest Winnie at once.
At around eight in the evening, Roxanne performed another round of acupuncture on Grant. The medicine which was given to the man orally was also starting to take effect. Finally, he woke up after the poison in his body was neutralized.
After opening his eyes, Grant stared blankly at the ceiling without moving or talking.
The housekeepers quickly ran to the living room to inform Roxanne and Lucian that Grant had regained consciousness.
