The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 425

"We're not sure yet." Susan could fully understand Julian's anxiety and could not help but respond softly, "Mom drank her Chinese medicine just now, then suddenly vomited blood and fainted when she was just about to go take a nap."

"Chinese medicine?" Julian said keenly. "Where's the residue of the medicine that mom just took?"

"I've gotten someone to send the residue here for examination," Susan replied immediately. "But mom has been drinking this medicine for many years, so there shouldn't be a problem."

"Other than this medicine, did mom eat anything else?” Julian asked.

"No,” Susan answered. "The medicine was taken before the meal, so mom didn't get the chance to eat anything else."

Julian's pupils constricted suddenly. "No matter what, we have to wait for the result of the examination first."

Julian stared at the tightly-closed emergency room, and his body could not help but stiffen slightly.

He thought about a lot of things at that moment.

He remembered that when he was young, his father had passed away at a young age and his mother had worked so hard to retain the company.

He remembered that she had given up her pride and gone out begging for help from one company to another.

He remembered that she had worked so hard on her plans for many years, just to hand over Lanyard Construction to him as a whole.

Madam Shaw might have done many unkind or nasty things, but as a mother, she had done her best for him.

If Madam Shaw were to disappear from this world completely someday...

Julian’s hands could not help but clench into fists.

Susan gazed at Julian in distress, then quietly stretched her hand out and wrapped it around his fists.

"Julian, mom will be fine." Susan consoled him gently.

Julian responded softly, but his gaze never shifted away from the door of the emergency room.

After some time, a nurse walked out of the room in a hurry.

"How's she?" Julian rushed over at once.

The nurse said quickly, "The result is already out. It was poison. There are still some toxins in Madam Shaw’s stomach, so we are performing an urgent gastric lavage. However, she was delivered here in time, so she is basically now out of danger." "Poison?" Sheer coldness beamed out of Julian’s eyes."

Any idea on what the poison was?”

"It was arsenic!" the nurse replied. "Arsenic is highly toxic, and it’s too dangerous to be consumed orally. Fortunately, the dose of the arsenic was not large, and Madam Shaw was brought here in time. However, Madam Shaw is old, so she may not be able to fully recover after the detoxification. Thus, as family members, you must take good care of her."

Arsenic!

When the nurse went back into the emergency room, a glaring cold ray flashed in Julian's eyes.

Somebody had extended their claws into his family! His mother had just come over to Skyking City, so she had never had any feuds with anyone there. Why would she suddenly become a target?

If she had been taken to the hospital a bit later, Julian could not imagine what the consequences would have been.

"Arsenic? Why was there arsenic at home?" Susan frowned. She was completely puzzled.

Julian squinted, and his voice was cold. "Arsenic will naturally not appear by itself."

If he found out who on earth was behind his mother’s incident... Julian's eyes became gloomier.

After a while, Willa came to the hospital with the lab assistant.

Willa said with a worried tone, "Mr. Shaw, Susie, how's Madam Shaw? The test result just came out, and there were traces of arsenic in the Chinese medicine!
