Chapter 605
Vera South’s expression froze instantly, then she realized something, her face suddenly changed: “You are deceiving me p>
Keira Olsen sneered: “If we hadn’t staged this play, we would never have known you were in cahoots with Fox! Vera, your conspiracy within a conspiracy, one link leading to another, is truly impressive p>
Vera South took a deep breath, staring fixedly at Keira Olsen, her face as pale as paper: “Rabbit, I never expected you to be so cunning as to see through the plot between me and Fox! You are absolutely shameless p>
Keira Olsen didn’t say anything more and left directly with Lewis Horton.
The two headed to the Martin family and relayed Vera’s words to old Mr. Martin, who was shocked and immediately took them to where he stored his medicines.
There, they found a safe.
Old Mr. Martin opened it and saw inside many colorful little medicine bottles.
Old Mr. Martin explained, “These contain Seven Days; to differentiate each type of poison, it is stored in different bottles. Each contains the same amount of medication, but it’s not mixed evenly, so the amount of poison ingested in one half is uncertain, and you must use the other half to antidote p>
As he spoke, he pulled out a white little bottle, opened it, and discovered, “This bottle has indeed been tampered with p>
He directly opened the white bottle and found it was indeed half empty.
His expression changed instantaneously: “How could this medicine bottle be opened? This… this is impossible p>
Keira Olsen looked towards his safe: “Grandfather, what material is this cabinet made out of p>
“Aluminum alloy, with current technology levels, it is impossible to open without cutting. But I check the safe every day because what it holds inside is too valuable. There has never been any sign of it being forcibly opened p>
Keira Olsen walked around the safe, then looked towards Lewis Horton.
Lewis Horton explained, “This is a mechanical combination lock. If it was electronic, even the toughest locks could be hacked, but with a mechanical lock you must remember the combination otherwise it requires violent cutting. Hence, anyone tampering with it would only be someone who knew the combination p>
Old Mr. Martin suddenly spoke, “This is impossible… I am the only person who knows the password. Although Vera lives in my house, she has never been allowed near this room… Come to think of it, the only person who could have tampered with the poison seems to be me p>
With that, he shivered and looked directly at Keira Olsen: “Thank God you were cautious and noticed something was off, otherwise if something happened to your father, I really wouldn’t be able to explain myself even with a hundred mouths p>
At such a time, the Martins and Olsens would have to settle things!
As for Keira Olsen, stuck in the middle… a tough choice indeed!
He handed the white medicine bottle to Keira Olsen and then said, “I will investigate who in the family can enter my room at will p>
His bedroom obviously had no surveillance installed.
But those who could enter his bedroom were few.
Keira Olsen simply nodded: “Thank goodness nothing happened p>
If it weren’t for suddenly feeling that something was off, feeling like everything was going too smoothly, and if she had administered the medicine to Uncle Olsen, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Keira Olsen took the medicine, nodded at old Mr. Martin, and then she and Lewis Horton quickly left and headed back to the Olsen family home.
Once they were upstairs, she finally took out the antidote and fed it to Uncle Olsen p>
She watched Uncle Olsen anxiously p>
Lewis Horton noticed her nervousness and reassured, “Don’t worry, this is definitely the real antidote p>
Keira Olsen asked, “Why p>
Lewis Horton replied, “Because only if this is the true antidote can it later be framed on your grandfather, leaving the Olsen family and you with nothing to say p>
Hearing this, Keira Olsen silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet Uncle Olsen still showed no signs of waking up, which made Keira Olsen nervously pace back and forth in his bedroom.
That night, she couldn’t sleep at all, directly asking the family doctor, “Why hasn’t my father woken up yet p>
The family doctor replied, “This poison, if consumed by a healthy person, would wake them up very quickly, serving as a tonic. But if the body is compromised, it will act as a medical treatment. Your father sleeping so soundly indicates his body is being nourished by the medication p>
With a sigh, he added, “I’ve been with your father for over thirty years now. After your mother left him, he was so racked with guilt, he threw himself into work as if trying to forget your mother, which wore down his health… Now, this can be considered a blessing, like nourishment p>
Keira Olsen, hearing this, couldn’t help but look at Uncle Olsen.
Her mother Jodie South, having been involved with him and even having a child, was it like with her grandmother, solely for the inheritance of the South Family?
She pursed her lips and sighed deeply.
If that was true, could her father accept it?
Did Jodie South ever love her father?
Her grandfather could let go because, after losing her grandmother, he married someone else and has lived a happy and peaceful life.
But Uncle Olsen, having never remarried… could he let go?
Just as Keira Olsen thought this, Uncle Olsen, who had been motionless in the hospital bed, suddenly started coughing.
She immediately tensed and looked over, just in time to see Uncle Olsen react. He clutched his chest, suddenly turned to his side, and spit out a mouthful of black blood p>
Keira Olsen’s pupils dilated, and she screamed, “Dad p>
Frantically and in a panic, she turned to the family doctor, “Doctor, Doctor! Please, check on my dad p>
