Chapter 178: Chapter 178

My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 178 Betrayal Cynthia talked with Lynn for a while, and Mrs. Kirby returned with a thermos, “Mrs. Green. Mrs. Smith. Here’s the Funch “You go have lunch. I’ll take care of mom.” Cynthia took the thermos and sald to Mrs. Kirby with a smile.

She nodded and wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.

Mrs. Kirby looked at Cynthia, who was already serving the meal, and she left.

Sitting at the dining table, Lynn took the bowl Cynthia handed over and said with concern, “There is some food I have to avoid because of my health. So the hunch is quite simple. Will it not be nutritious enough for you?”

“It’s okay!” Cynthia smiled, “Mrs. Lewis has been cooking me highly nutritious meals, and I feel overnourished.”

Cynthia took a sip of the soup and frowned, “Why does this soup taste a little sour?”

“I didn’t taste it.” Lynn was used to drinking soup first and didn’t realize anything wrong after drinking a lot.

Cynthia said, “Maybe it’s because I ate too lightly while breastfeeding recently, and I’m more sensitive to the taste!”

“It must be my illusion. It didn’t taste like vinegar, but it had a fruity fragrance, which was very familiar.” But Cynthia couldn’t figure out what it was.

Lynn ate less rice but drank two bowls of soup, which was much more than she used to eat.

“You have a good appetite today.” Cynthia cleaned the table before Mrs. Kirby came over.

When Cynthia cleaned up the thermos and returned to the ward, she found something wrong with Lynn. Her face was flushed abnormally, and she had shortness of breath. It seemed she couldn’t breathe.

“Mom, what’s wrong?” She rushed over, not daring to touch Lynn casually, and quickly rang the emergency bell.

Then some doctors and nurses came.

Dylan thought Lynn was in bad shape, so he hurriedly asked someone to send Lynn to the operating room for emergency rescue.

Trembling, Cynthia waited anxiously outside with red eyes. She was praying that nothing would happen to her mother.

Lorenz and Alston rushed over immediately when they received the news, wearing suits and leather shoes with sweat on their foreheads.

“Cynthia!” Alston saw Cynthia standing at the operation room door at a glance. Alston felt as if someone had pinched him hard when he saw Cynthia with tears on her delicate face.

He hadn’t seen Cynthia crying for a long time.

“Cynthia, it’s okay. She will be fine!” He pressed Cynthia into his arms and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Cynthia was trying hard to be strong, but she had a total emotional breakdown when Alston held her, “Alston, I’m terrified. She was fine when we had lunch. I was just out for a few minutes, and she got worse when I returned. It’s all my fault. I should be by her side...”

She cried miserably, and Alston and Lorenz felt distressed. They comforted her, “It’s okay. It’s not your fault. We’ll know the exact reason when the doctor comes out. Don’t cry. Your eyes are swollen.”

Cynthia couldn’t stop crying. She slowly calmed down after a long time. Shaking and crying, she was choked up, and her eyes and nose were red. She looked painful.

Alston helped her to sit down. Lorenz kept walking around outside the operating room, anxious and irritable.

After a long time, the lights in the operating room went out, and Dylan came out with a severe expression.

Cynthia and Lorenz rushed forward, “How is she?!”

“She is out of danger.” They relieved.

Dylan frowned and looked at Cynthia, “She ate something by mistake, which made her get sicker. She could die If she didn’t get quick treatment.”

Cynthia was stunned, “How come? We ate the same food for lunch today, but I’m good. And it was the same food as usual. Why should it be?”

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then firmly said, “I’m sure. We found out the food caused the acute shock. What did you have today?”

Cynthia was taken aback and quickly said, “Rice, vegetables, and soup. All were very light. But there was one thing!”

She suddenly remembered the soup, and she quickly said, “The soup tasted a strange sour, but my mother didn’t taste it.”

“Is there any soup left?” Dylan asked.

Cynthia nodded quickly, “Yes. I put the thermos on the outside table because Mrs. Kirby hasn’t come back yet.”

i As soon as she finished speaking, someone came with the thermos. There was still a lot of soup left because Lynn and Cynthia ate very little. Dylan took a sip, frowned, and said in a deep voice, “Something wrong with it.”

“What’s the problem?” Lorenz asked quickly, “Is it poison?”

Dylan shook his head. “No. It’s starfruit juice. Star fruit has neurotoxins. It’s okay for healthy people to eat a few, but those with kidney disease may be in danger if they eat too many.”

“My mother drank two full bowls!” Cynthia muttered, and her face pale, “I need to ask Mrs. Kirby if anyone has touched the thermos.”

Alston stopped her, “When Dylan said there was a problem with the food, I already had someone contact her. But no one answered the phone. I guess she has already run away.”

“How could this happen?!” Cynthia was full of disbelief. She thought she was very kind to Mrs. Kirby, She paid her well, and Lynn would help her with her family difficulties. Why did she do this to Lynn?

Alston patted her back and said coldly, “I’ve got someone to check out. It turned out her son was going to get married, and the woman needed 40 thousand for the bride price, but she didn’t have the money. And they suddenly got a lot of money in their accounts yesterday...”

Cynthia lowered her head with disheveled hair. She smiled coolly and said in a hoarse voice, “It was for money. She was going to kill my mother for 40 thousand. Why didn’t I see her through? If she had difficulties at home, she could tell us, and we would help her. But why did she hurt my mother!”

Lorenz got a cold face and called to ask someone to find out the whereabouts of Mrs. Kirby’s family. He would find them and make them pay the price since they dared to hurt his aunt!

“Find out who is behind all this and who transferred the money into their account,” Alston added.

Dylan said when they calmed down, “She is out of danger, but...” Alston and Lorenz became worried when they heard it.

Chapter 178 Betrayal 2/3 “But her kidney function is getting worse and worse, and she needs to undergo a kidney replacement operation as soon as possible. I think she has been in good health recently. It would be better to have the operation earlier.”

They agreed and asked Dylan to arrange a time for the operation.

They had found someone with a kidney to match with. The man agreed to donate a kidney because he needed a lot of money.

And they sent a particular person to take care of him to ensure he would be in the best condition. Everything was ready. The success rate of the operation would be high.

Lynn was still in a coma when she was pushed out. Cynthia looked at her weak appearance and felt very regretful. “If I had found something wrong with Mrs. Kirby and the soup, my mother would not have suffered so much.” Cynthia said to herself.

Cynthia sat beside Lynn’s bed and cried. Lorenz sighed and rubbed her hair, “It’s all over. Don’t blame yourself. She is fine now.

She will be a healthy person after the operation. Then we can take her around.”

Cynthia nodded with tears. She hoped the operation would be successful. Lynn had been in the hospital for too long, and she almost couldn’t remember what a healthy she looked like.

Lorenz quietly opened the door and went out when he saw Cynthia was better. He saw Alston standing in the corridor, talking to someone with a severe expression.

Alston hung up the phone. Lorenz walked over and asked, “What happened? Why do you look terrible?”

Aleton frowned deeply. He had profound and handsome facial features, and his deep eyes were cold and frightening, “He suddenly repented and was unwilling to donate his kidney!”
