Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1240

So...it was really caused by that bowl of clam chowder.

"But the purpose of the poison was not to kill her.” Dr. Yves looked at the medical records, narrowing her eyes as she said, "There was only a small amount of poison in her bloodstream, it's not enough to make her ill immediately. But it will accumulate in the body, and once it reaches a certain level of concentration, it will erupt. And when it does, the patient will die, even the best doctors in the world can't provide a cure." 1

With that, she flipped open the old lady's medical records, "dust like this patient, even with the help of all of the best doctors, they’ll only be able to suppress the symptoms, the moment there’s relapse, the patient might die.”

After some time, sooner or later, she might end up exactly like Granny Lynch...

"It looks like Granny Lynch’s relapse was also because she was poisoned again."

Suddenly, the doctor's words pulled Luna’s thoughts back to reality. She lifted her head, stared at the doctor in front of her dazedly, and said, “You mean... Granny's relapse was because she was poisoned?"

"Yeah." Janet looked at the medical records in front of her, her gaze deep and unfathomable. "Previously, even though she would suffer some of the symptoms from time to time, it progressed slowly, and didn't cause much damage. This time, since she suffered a relapse in the afternoon, a few hours later at night, we almost lost her..."
