Chapter 360 Groggy
As soon as Abigail found out that the mushrooms were from Cloudgrove, she knew there was a
problem.
Moreover, it was mushroom season.
“Take me to that doctor!” Abigail’s tone suddenly became stern.
Analise was startled and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Old Mr. Graham has been poisoned, and his condition is very serious. He’s still in the hospital.
undergoing stomachvage surgery, and his life is hanging by a thread. If we don’t investigate this now,
we’ll be doomed when Sean returns from abroad.” Abigail grabbed Analise’s hand and dragged her
along.
“But I ate the mushrooms, and I’m perfectly fine. Could it have been a misunderstanding? Analise’s
eyes widened with fear.
“You ate the first batch she gave to you while you gave Old Mr. Graham the second batch. I’m sure
there is a difference,” Abigail exined hurriedly.
“No, I split it into two portions for the second batch. I ate some and sent some to Colby. There’s really
nothing wrong with it. If it were poisoned, I’d be in the hospital by now, right? Besides, the mushrooms
they gave me aren’t poisonous,” Analise exined in a panic.
“There’s no time for all this discussion, Grandma. I need to talk to the doctor to get more details,
alright?” Abigail insisted.
Analise fell silent at that.
When they arrived at themunal area, Abigail managed to find Dr. Zena.
Dr. Zena had provided Análise with edible mushrooms known as Chicken Polypore, which were non-
toxic. To prove her innocence, Dr. Zena gave Abigail the remaining Chicken Polypore she had not
consumed for further testing.
Analise had already finished eating all the Chicken Polypore she received, leaving only the ones from
Dr. Zena.
If the poisoning was indeed rted to consuming mushrooms, it was likely that the tampering urred
during the delivery process.
In that case, even Sean might find it difficult to find out what happened.
Tracking down a tampering incident in the vast sea of daily deliveries across a state would be an
extremely challenging task.

Back at home, Abigail ced the Chicken Polypore on the coffee table and asked her
grandmother, “Which courierpany did you use to deliver the Chicken Polypores? I will try to
contact them.”
“I haven’t done anything wrong, and Sean knows my character.” Analise gripped Abigail’s hand and
tried to exin herself.
With a bitter smile, Abigail muttered, “Who can say for sure when his grandfather’s life is at stake?”
Back then, she divorced Sean because of her grandmother. Now that something happened to Sean’s
grandfather, she couldn’t expect him to understand their situation.
“I’ll go to the hospital while you check with the courier station outside themunal area.” Analise
grew increasingly despondent.
“Don’t go to the hospital and just stay at home. The situation is not as simple as we initially thought.
Staying home for the time being is the best option, got it?” Abigail advised her grandmother.
Analise immediately understood the implied message in her words.
After running around for an entire afternoon, Abigail still couldn’t find anything helpful.
When the sky turned dark, she took theb results for the Chicken Polypore and encountered
Cameron, who had been waiting for her at the entrance of their neighborhood.
“Mr. Graham will arrive in Pendorf at 4.00AM tomorrow,” Cameron informed Abigail. His rxed
demeanor from before had given way to a more serious one.
Abigail nodded in response but remained silent.
“Old Mr. Graham’s condition is not looking good. This incident has caused damage to multiple organs,
and he is still under emergency treatment,” Cameron continued, his eyes lowered.
Abigail’s eyes widened slightly. “I’m truly sorry for this. My grandmother did send Chicken Polypore to
Old Mr. Graham, but the package was definitely switched during the delivery.”
“I can’t say for sure without evidence, but I will try to persuade Mr. Graham to run an investigation. I’d
still advise you to be prepared, though. Xavien told me that yourck of exnation has disappointed
him. He might not be as forgiving as before,” Cameronmented, scratching his head.
He hadn’t expected the situation to develop this far without any warning.
“I understand that it involves his grandfather’s life, but I will also find a way to clear my grandmother’s
name,” Abigail replied and prepared to leave.

She knew that her grandmother must be worried after she left for the entire afternoon.”
Cameron silently watched Abigail’s retreating figure and sighed involuntarily.
Miss Quinn is still unaware of how thoroughly disappointed Mr. Graham is.
At 5.00AM, Sean arrived at the hospital.

damaged would only be revealed when he woke up.
Entering the ward, Sean noticed Kelly sitting in front of the bed, nodding off from exhaustion.
Lina was lying in the adjacent hospital bed, receiving an IV drip, and the only one taking care of the two
elderly patients was Kelly.
Hearing the sound, she immediately woke up and turned her head to look at Sean. She promptly stood
up and exined, “My brother asked me to stay back and take care of them.”
“Xavien, please escort Miss Hagl back to the hotel, Sean instructed without much boration.
There was no way he didn’t harbor any suspicions about Kelly, no matter how caring she seemed to be
for his grandparents. He remained unfazed even after witnessing everything around him.
Xavien approached Kelly and politely said, “This way, please, Miss Hagl.”
Without uttering another word, she simply stood up and walked toward Xavien with a groggy
expression.
When Sean approached his grandfather, he felt a sense of unfathomable sadness.
Just then, a loud thud came from the door.
Sean furrowed his brows and looked over to see that Kelly had bumped into the door. She was holding
her forehead but didn’t utter a singleint. Smiling awkwardly, she quickly caught up with Xavien.
