….
Keira’s pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this. “What happened?”
“Mr. Olsen has been poisoned!”
The butler’s voice made Keira’s heart leap into her throat.
She looked urgently at Lewis, who asked, “What’s wrong?”
Keira took a deep breath. “Something’s happened to my dad.”
At these words, all of the Olsen brothers gathered around, and Ellis spoke first. “Let’s go home immediately!”
They hurried back home.
On the way, Keira frowned, pondering over something…
Lewis tried to comfort her. “Uncle Olsen will be alright!”
Keira tensed her jaw, “I know, but after all, he’s getting on in years…”
Keira had complex feelings toward Uncle Olsen.
She had always craved Taylor Olsen’s paternal love but never received a shred of it, which led Keira to despair. Eventually, she closed the door on her longing for a father’s love.
So, after acknowledging Uncle Olsen, she kept a respectful distance from him, as if they were father and daughter but more like the closest strangers.
She even seldom called Uncle Olsen “Dad”.
However, when she heard he was in trouble, a wave of panic surged within her.
Was the word “father” always this important to her?
Keira tensed her jaw.
She looked out of the window.
The group made their way home in a hurried procession.
Upon entering, they saw the Olsen family doctor already waiting in the living room.
Ellis immediately approached him, asking, “What happened? Why are you sitting here, not attending to him?”
The family doctor appeared dejected and said bluntly, “It’s not that I don’t want to treat him, but that I can’t…”
“What do you mean you can’t!”
Ellis grabbed hold of the doctor’s collar.
Keira, who was about to head toward Uncle Olsen’s bedroom, paused and turned to look at the family doctor as well.
She asked, “Is it because you don’t know what poison it is? We can do a blood test!”
The doctor said despondently, “It’s not that. The poison Mr. Olsen has been given is called Seven Days, meaning he can only survive seven days.”
Ellis said angrily, “Since you know what poison it is, why are you still standing around? Hurry up and save him!”
The doctor replied, “Mr. Ellis, besides that implication, the name also has another meaning.”
“What meaning?”
The doctor sighed. “This poison is concocted from seven of the deadliest poisons in the world, each with a different proportion, resulting in varying concoctions. The only way to create an antidote is to have similar proportions of the seven poisons, creating a delicate balance.”
Ellis was stunned.
James said, “Speak English! I don’t understand! What’s this Seven Days you talk about? If you know the poison, then help my uncle!”
Keira muttered, “What the doctor means is that he knows what the seven poisons in Seven Days are, and we probably have them at home, but now, we have no knowledge of the exact proportions of the poison that my dad took. We can’t even identify them from his blood…”
The doctor nodded. “I’m surprised Miss Olsen has heard of this poison. There’s another side effect: after one ingests the first dose if the second dose doesn’t provide the precise proportion that balances the seven poisons, then even the slightest discrepancy in the dosage of the second dose will bring immediate death!”
Keira clenched her jaw tightly.
In other words, they didn’t even have a chance to try and err.
If the dosage of the antidote were even slightly incorrect, her father would die!
Keira took a deep breath.
Ellis immediately asked, “So, we must find the exact formula of the poison? Or rather, we need to find the poisoner and get the formula of the poison to ensure Uncle Olsen’s safety?”
The family doctor nodded. “That’s right.”
Ellis looked at Keira and slowly released the doctor.
That was beyond the scope of a doctor’s duties; from now on, it was their battlefield.
Whoever came up with using Seven Days must be an expert in medical science… an expert in medical science… Keira suddenly remembered that Ellis had once been diagnosed with azoospermia, and everyone in the medical field had helped conceal it, not daring to tell him the truth.
In the world of traditional Creran medicine, medicine, and poison were intrinsically linked!
Therefore, the poisoner was the same person who caused trouble at the hospital back then, that was… Fox!!
Vera seemed so frantic at the engagement banquet in the Martin family, and Keira didn’t expect she would deliver a heavy blow!
The purpose of using Seven Days was to control them and make them obediently comply!
Keira took a deep breath and turned to Ellis. “I’m going to check on Dad first.”
She turned and went upstairs.
Upon entering the room, she saw Jenkins and the butler. The butler’s tears streamed down his face as he looked at Uncle Olsen, who lay there with his eyes closed.
Keira immediately went in. After examining Uncle Olsen, she found that his condition was very stable, and he looked as if he were asleep.
A group of people also followed after her.
Ellis’s voice was somewhat choked up as he looked to the family doctor. “How is Uncle doing now?”
The family doctor sighed. “These seven poisons counteract each other’s toxicity; if seven doses of the same strength are taken at the same time, it would be equivalent to a Premium Tonic Pill. Now, the toxins are dispersed throughout Mr. Olsen’s body, and if no antidote is administered within seven days, he will pass away in his sleep. At least it won’t be too painful.”
The family doctor couldn’t help but say, “Who exactly are these people? It feels like the poison they used on Mr. Olsen is quite gentle.”
At this comment, James immediately cursed angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? My uncle is about to be poisoned to death, and you call that gentle?”
The doctor continued. “This poison is indeed very gentle. Generally, enemies wouldn’t be willing to use this poison because it’s incredibly expensive. Each of these rare ingredients is a treasure in the world; gathering all seven to create this poison would cost at least several million… I sense some goodwill from the other side.”
This made Keira frown.
Vera seemed very cruel and extreme. She treated old Mr. Martin with complete disrespect. She didn’t seem to care about anyone else at all.
What was she planning to do now?
As Keira thought this over, her phone rang
Keira immediately picked it up, and an electronic voice came through from the other side – it was Fox. “Rabbit, you surely wouldn’t want your father to just die like this, right?”
Keira immediately said, “Vera, tell me, what exactly do you want?”
“I want you to suffer the consequences! Do you know where the antidote for this poison is?”
Keira was stunned.
The other side continued, “That’s right, at the Martin family! I took the poison from the Martin family, so naturally, the antidote is there too! You and Lewis teamed up today to deceive old Mr. Martin, so tell me, when the DNA test results come out, and old Mr. Martin finds out you’re not his granddaughter, what do you think he’ll do?”
Keira’s face darkened, “Vera!”
Vera let out a cold laugh, “Regretting it now, are you? Did you think that ruining my banquet today would just be the end of it?”
