Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1211
“Damien is quite knowledgeable about poison. He’s the one who discovered that Monica was poisoned. Maybe Monica was suffering from the same poison as Nina. As long as we know what poison it is, there must be something we can about it.”
“What if the poison is different? Why can we be sure though?”
“Sheep, don’t be silly. The doctor has analyzed Nina’s blood. We can just ask him to do the same for Monica’s blood to find out if they’re the same.”
“You’re right. That’s a good idea.”
Sophia immediately turned to Kyle and said, “Kai, please order for people to draw Monica’s blood for analysis now. As long as we know what kind of poison it is, we can ask Damien to treat it accordingly.”
“Grandma, it’s not going to be that easy. Even if it’s the same poison, we have to know which kind of poison and its mechanism to be able to develop an antidote. Anyway, I will send someone to do the analysis.”
After Kyle had left, Sophia let out a heavy sigh. “God bless Nina. Just take both Jonathan and my lives should it please the Gods above. This is not Nina’s fault, to begin with. She should not have suffered for us!”
Jonathan’s face turned grim. If he had known the repercussions of his actions, he would not have done it in the first place.
I should be the one to suffer the karma of my own actions. Why is Nina suffering on my behalf instead?
“Nina, I am so sorry! I have failed you!”
“Dad, what’s past is past. You should not have done it in the past when you knew that it would come biting back at you.”
“Your father has no idea that this day would come. He wouldn’t have done what he did if he already knew that this would happen, so quit blaming him. Do you think he’s not already in agony for what happened? He’s hoping that he is the one poisoned instead of Nina, okay? Did you know that he promised Monica that he would apologize to Sam at his grave? It was Monica who rejected your father’s offer.”
Davin parted his lips in an attempt to say something. However, in the end, he said nothing and merely let out a heavy sigh.
Upon analysis, the doctor confirmed that Nina and Monica were suffering from the same poison.
After Kyle knew about this, he immediately ordered the Hidden Masters to find out how Monica was poisoned, as well as the type of poison.
“Yes, Mr. Seet. We will get to the bottom of this right away.”
Nina regained consciousness at night. Other than her sallow face, there was nothing abnormal about her. As a matter of fact, she did not realize that she was poisoned.
Everyone in the family had a tacit understanding to not divulge the fact to her. However, they were heartbroken to see her pale face.
“Nina, what would you like to eat? I’ll make some for you.”
Nina was stumped. After a moment, she mumbled, “I’m craving for some Beef Wellington.”
“Sure. It’ll be ready in just a moment.”
“Thank you, Maya.”
“You’re welcome.”
Maya padded toward the kitchen while Sheila and Sophia left behind to chat with Nina. Bemused, Nina asked, “Grandma, Aunt Sheila, it’s already so late. Isn’t it about time you guys head back to the Seet Residence?”
Sophia was stumped.
Then, Sheila reached out to hold Nina’s hands. “Look, Nina. The Imperial Garden is really great. Plus, your father and mother aren’t home either. Your grandma and I are really bored living there all alone. Could you let us stay at the Imperial Garden?”
Sheila and Sophia wanted to stay as they were worried about Nina’s condition. If they stayed close to her, they would be able to attend to her should anything happen.
Nina was amused by her coy manner and almost burst into a chuckle. She lifted her head and looked at Davin, “Uncle Davin, are you willing to let Aunt Sheila stay here?”
“Of course. I’m going to get a few days off if she’s staying here. Otherwise…” She will keep pestering me to give her a child. Davin decided to keep the last sentence to himself.
Sheila glared at the man. “What do you mean, Davin? Do you think I’m a nuisance?”
