Simone glanced at Chester before speaking, hesitating whether to say it in front of him or not. Tina guessed what she meant. She said, "It's okay; my dad knows that something's off with my mom. Simone, just say what you have to say."
Simone nodded, "Chester has talisman poison in his body." She explained what talisman poison was.
Tina's expression turned ugly, "How could she be so ruthless? She must want my dad to get sick, then use it as an excuse to take care of him and ask me for money." She also remembered something, "No wonder every time her family had financial problems, my dad would fall ill. She would come to the hospital to show her concern and take the opportunity to extort money from us."
At that time, she thought as long as her biological mother could take good care of her dad and make him happy, she went along with her antics despite her disgust. But when she found out this was the truth, it enraged her.
Chester sighed, "It's my fault for involving you." If it weren't for his daughter, there were times when he didn't want to live anymore. He had long since expected nothing from his wife. That woman was not only selfish but also heartless. But in order to prevent his daughter from being caught in the middle and facing difficulties, he pretended to still care about his wife. After all, his wife was his daughter's biological mother, while he was just a stepfather. His family had all passed away long ago, so he cherished this rare father-daughter bond.
Tina's eyes turned red, "No, we are the ones who have involved you." Then she looked at Simone and asked with a pleading tone, "Simone, can you cure the talisman poison in my dad's body?"
Simone replied, "Yes. I need to first see how deep the talisman poison is in Chester's body before I can determine the method to cure it."
Tina's face lit up with excitement, "That's great. Please take a look at my dad."
Simone nodded and walked over. With Chester's permission, she placed her fingers on his wrist. She used her spiritual energy to investigate. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and frowned. "Chester, the talisman poison is very severe. It seems like you have been continuously affected for over twenty years. Before getting married, did you suddenly experience heart palpitations or fainting spells? But when you went to the hospital for a check-up, there was no problem?"
Chester's surprise deepened, "That's true. When I first met Tina's mom, it happened twice. At that time, she accompanied me to the hospital for the check-up and comforted me. So that's why it left a deep impression on me."
His expression changed, "Could it be that, at that time, she had already given me this poisoned water to drink? After we had a good impression of each other during the blind date, she would always make all kinds of sweet stuff for us to enjoy. I asked her to drink it, too, but she refused. She said she specially made it for me and wanted me to finish it to show appreciation for her effort."
