After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 55 - Poisoning Incident
55: Chapter 55 Poisoning Incident
55 -55 Poisoning Incident
Emily Parker took Mrs.
Carter to the hospital’s small garden to breathe fresh air, which slightly improved Mrs.
Carter’s complexion, but her expression was still full of worry.
Mrs.
Carter held Emily’s hand,
“Emily, I need to ask you a favor.
Please keep today’s medical report a secret for now.”
Emily was briefly stunned, but quickly understood Mrs.
Carter’s intentions.
The Carter Clan is one of the top conglomerates in the country.
If news of Mrs.
Carter, the president, being poisoned got out, it could negatively impact the Carter Clan’s stock prices.
Emily sighed,
“Mom, I can promise not to tell anyone else, but Carlos is your son, I have to tell him.
Otherwise, he’ll blame me later.”
Emily was about to inquire about Mrs.
Carter’s daily diet to find out why she was poisoned when she heard hurried footsteps.
It was Evan Palmer accompanied by several bodyguards, with Doctor Bennet following them.
Needless to say, it must have been Doctor Bennet who informed Evan.
Evan’s face was still unpleasant when he saw Emily.
He quickly moved to Mrs.
Carter’s side, pushing Emily aside, with an expression of profound grief,
“Caroline, I’ve heard about the medical report.
Rest assured, I will find out who poisoned you.
The priority is to find a way to treat you without further delay.”
Doctor Bennet also stood by, looking guilty,
“Mrs.
Carter, I notified Mr.
Palmer.
Indeed, it was negligence on our hospital’s part.
Although our People’s Hospital has advanced testing equipment, the test you did was for radioactive toxins, which our lab is not equipped to detect.
However, my teacher has contacts with an overseas lab, and he will surely find a way to treat you very soon.”
“Yes, I’ve already notified Doctor Reed to come to the villa immediately.
Don’t worry; whatever happens, I will be by your side.”
Evan grasped Mrs.
Carter’s hand tightly.
Seeing Evan’s deeply affectionate demeanor, Mrs.
Carter was moved, her eyes slightly teary, and she nodded.
Emily thought to herself that the poison in Mrs.
Carter wasn’t caused overnight but had accumulated over time.
The people around her were the most suspicious.
Emily’s first suspicion fell on Evan.
But she had no solid evidence to speak out just yet.
Emily decided not to voice her suspicions for the time being.
“Emily, you can go back now.”
Evan glanced at Emily next to him, his tone unfriendly.
Mrs.
Carter also nodded, signaling Emily to go back to work.
Doctor Bennet watched Emily leave, his eyes filled with a sinister look,
“No wonder Emily is so arrogant and bossy.
She’s an unmarried pregnant gold-digger who pressured Young Master Carter into marrying her.
But according to President Palmer, he doesn’t like Emily.
Pregnancy takes many months, and pregnant women are fragile.
One careless move could be fatal for both mother and child.”
Emily returned to the pharmacy, pondered for a moment, and was about to call Carlos when she realized she didn’t have his number and could only contact Oliver Ross.
Carlos immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed back to Cloud Lake Villa.
On the way back to the villa, Carlos felt agitated and sent a message to “Grandpa.”
After finishing her tasks, Emily heard the WeChat notification sound.
It was a message from “Old Master.”
Time: There’s something I don’t know if I should tell you.
Blue Sky: Just say it, we’re like family.
Time: A friend of mine has fallen seriously ill.
Blue Sky: There’s a cure for everything with today’s medical advancements, don’t worry too much.
Time: But this illness isn’t simple.
I’ve asked around, and no one in the domestic medical field can treat it; the only person who could have treated it reportedly died many years ago.
Blue Sky: That’s problematic.
Do you know the Ghost Doctor?
Time: You know about the Ghost Doctor too?
Blue Sky: I’ve just heard of him.
If you face any difficult issues, you might as well seek out the Ghost Doctor.
Besides, when someone is sick, they need more companionship.
If possible, spend more time with them.
Time: I will, and you too must take care of your health.
Carlos put down his phone, thinking that Grandpa didn’t know about his mother’s incident yet, and he didn’t plan to tell him to avoid worrying him.
But to his surprise, even Grandpa had heard of the Ghost Doctor.
He couldn’t help but think of that woman’s incredible bone-setting skills he witnessed one night; perhaps she really could help him.
Inside Cloud Lake Villa, Evan, in front of Mrs.
Carter, ordered a thorough investigation of all the food in Cloud Lake Villa and also inspected Mrs.
Carter’s daily necessities; no radioactive toxins were found.”
When Carlos arrived back, he overheard Evan and his friend, Doctor Reed, discussing the next treatment plan with Mrs.
Carter.
Mrs.
Carter was sitting on the sofa, still looking somewhat pale.
Evan, she had never doubted him; after more than twenty years of marriage, she trusted his character.
Doctor Reed suggested that Mrs.
Carter should move to his hospital for treatment.
Carlos quickly walked in.
