Kathleen picked it up and looked at it, frowning slightly.
Ashley drank her hot milk and said with a smile, “I'm pregnant. It's been a month.”
Kathleen put down the results and sneered. “I can make a hundred copies of this crap, Ashley.”
She did not believe it was true.
Very casually, Ashley placed her hand in front of Kathleen with a smile. “Go on, check my pulse. See if I'm lying to you.”
Kathleen frowned.
Hesitantly, she put her fingers on Ashley's wrist.
After a while, Kathleen truly felt the pulse.
It indicated that she was in fact, pregnant.
Very slowly, she removed her hand.
“Kathleen, I'm not trying to agitate you here.” Ashley sounded contrite but she was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Without warning, Kathleen picked up the glass of water in front of her and splashed it onto Ashley's face.
“What are you doing!” Ashley screamed. “Have you gone mad?”
Everyone else in the cafe looked at them, unsure of what happened.
However, they recognized both parties at a glance.
Kathleen stood up and said coldly, “Ashley, before Samuel's accident, everyone knew that he proposed to me. What kind of coincidence could lead him to lose his memory and you being right there? Do you think I have no basis in suspecting that you had a hand in this? You know of our relationship, but you put in so much effort to seduce him. I've seen plenty of wh*res, but you're the one to take the crown here.”
Ashley looked at her indignantly. “Why do you say that to me? I can't use my arm because of Samuel!”
Kathleen said sarcastically, “Samuel nearly threw his life away for me. Do you think he will do the same for you?”
Ashley was put in the spot.
“Consider this an act of mercy. If you dare show up in front of me again, I'll completely destroy your other hand!” After saying that, Kathleen turned away.
Her face was pale like never before.
Test results could be used as deception, but there was no mistaking her pulse.
Kathleen went back to the office and tried to calm down.
She refused to be led by the nose due to Ashley's ministrations.
At this moment, Yadiel rushed in. “Dr. Johnson? Something has happened.”
Kathleen raised her head, her eyes red. “What's wrong?”
“Dr. Johnson, are you alright?” Yadiel seemed to be quite surprised.
Kathleen frowned. “What happened?”
“Old Mrs. Macari is hospitalized and is in critical condition,” Yadiel explained.
Kathleen stood up immediately. “We need to go there right now!”
Kathleen went to the hospital and found out that Diana was no longer in danger.
The doctor was explaining the diagnosis to both Wynnie and Calvin.
“We can confirm that Old Mrs. Macari was poisoned. Did she eat anything strange today?” asked the doctor.
“Just breakfast and lunch like we normally do. But we ate it too, and we're both fine,” replied Wynnie.
The doctor frowned. “Anything else?”
Wynnie hesitated for a moment. “That leaves us with the medicine.”
Kathleen was stunned.
Could her poisoning be linked to my
prescriptions?
“What medicine?” The doctor was surprised.
“Well...” Wynnie didn't know how to explain.
In fact, she believed in Kathleen, but...
“It’s a medicine I have prescribed,” said Kathleen as she walked over. “Old Mrs. Macari suffers from rheumatism and has been complaining about pain in her leg. I prescribed the medicine, and the staff had it sent over to the Macari family.”
Kathleen was not one to evade
responsibility.
If it was truly an issue with her medication, then she was going to take the blame for it.
“Mom has been drinking that medicine for several days, and it's been fine. I doubt it's the medicine.” Wynnie stepped in to defend Kathleen.
“I still think it’s best to have it tested,” said the doctor mildly. “It's necessary to confirm exactly what she was drugged with.”
