Chapter 564 Murderer Resurfaced


    "It''s a very dangerous and rare kind of poison that can cause heart palpitation, whichter leads to a


    sudden cardiac arrest," Frank answered seriously. "It takes time for it to take effect, with an


    incubation period of around one or two days once it enters the human body."


    Ethan''s expression darkened. Frank didn''t know what was on his mind because Ethan kept silent.


    "Who owns the blood?" Frank asked again. "If it''s someone close to you, you''d better have a few


    more tests done. If the poison is still in their system, their life may still be in danger."

    "Keep the sample and the test results safe," Ethan said in a dangerously low voice.


    Frank didn''t ask any more questions. Judging from Ethan''s slightly trembling voice, he realized the


    gravity of the situation and fell silent. He hadn''t seen Ethan like this in a long time.


    Ethan hung up the phone without another word.


    Just then, he heard footstepsing from the stairs. J came downstairs wrapped in a nket.


    Just now, she saw how Ethan''s expression changed after receiving the phone call. She was a little


    worried, so she came out to check on him.


    After hanging up, Ethan stood there motionlessly, his eyes as dark as night. J looked at him


    worriedly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.


    "Honey, what''s wrong?" she asked with concern.


    Just now, she had heard the word "poison" from Ethan''s mouth.


    Ethan''s eyes widened as he slowly looked up at J by the stairs. He put on a faint smile and


    calmly walked over to her. He wrapped the nket around her more tightly and said in a gentle


    voice, "Let''s go to the hospitalter so that they can run more tests."


    "But I''m perfectly healthy," J protested. "Can you tell me what''s going on? Why''d you ask the


    doctor to take my blood sample?"


    Ethan looked at her and sighed. "I asked Frank to run tests on your blood. My mother died from a


    sudden cardiac arrest, and she had no prior history of heart disease. Before she died, she told me


    to be wary of Elissa. At the time, we were regarded as Elissa''s enemies. Although I was young back


    then, even I knew that she wanted to have me and my mother killed. One day, my mother was


    working outside when my neighbor suddenly rushed in to tell me that she had died on the street.


    The forensic experts and police did not find anything suspicious about her death and chalked it up


    to natural causes."


    "Do you think Elissa was behind your mother''s sudden death?"


    Ethan nodded grimly. "Yes. I''ve been secretly investigating the truth about my mother''s death all


    these years. So when I heard what the doctor said about your condition, I suspected that someone


    was trying to murder you and immediately called Frank over to have him test your blood. Sure


    enough, he told me that you had been poisoned."


    His tone grew more and more grave.


    "All these years, I had done everything in my power to find out how Elissa had my mother killed, but


    I never came close. I didn''t expect that someone had poisoned her to cause her sudden cardiac


    arrest. Nor did I expect that Elissa would try to do the exact same thing again after so many years."
