Chapter 480

Chapter 480 Unraveling the Truth Layer by Layer But the girl’s eyes were sincere. She nodded with a sincere attitude and emphasized, “We won’t hurt Yana.”

Because the place rented by Mr. Jacob was on the first floor, people passed by from time to time, and some people even looked at the yard.

“Let them in!” Leyna entered the house anxiously. Mr. Jacob had mixed feelings and finally followed her in.

Paige and Lamont looked at each other, as if to say, “They’ve agreed.”

Lamont closed the door in the courtyard and followed his sister into the house.

The living room was small, but it was clean and tidy everywhere.

“Sit wherever you like.”

Hearing Mr. Jacob’s words, Paige and Lamont sat on the sofa obediently, like two students.

Leyna went to the kitchen to get some water. Paige wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but judging from her worried expression, it was obvious that she was still thinking about what had just happened. Her attention was not on the kitchen, and she was absent–minded…

On the other hand, Mr. Jacob glanced at Paige and then at Lamont. “Brother and sister?”

The two of them nodded.

“Related by blood?”

They nodded in unison again.

“How long have you been dating Yana?” Nels then looked at Lamont and asked.

“One year,” Lamont answered truthfully. “One year later, she left me and I went to look for her for another year.”

Come to think of it, he and Yana had been together for two years.

Nels remembered that this young man did come to his house several times and asked about Yana’s whereabouts every time. Did Yana leave him at that time?

“Did you do something wrong to her?”

“No!”

Lamont was a little anxious. However, Paige explained gently, “It seems like Yana is involved in something dangerous and doesn’t want to involve my brother, so she pretended to break up with him.”

“Since you guessed that my daughter might be involved in something dangerous, why did you bring your sister with you?”

Nels knew that this matter was far from being as simple as it seemed. It was fine if Lamont came alone, but why did he bring his sister along? What if something happened?

Lamont wanted to say that his younger sister was not an ordinary person. It was all thanks to his younger sister that he could find this place…

Suddenly, she heard the sound of glass breaking coming from the kitchen.

Nels got up and trotted over immediately. “Leyna, what’s wrong?”

Paige and Lamont followed. They saw that Leyna had broken the glass and was squatting on the ground to pick up the fragments. Her finger had been accidentally cut open….

“Don’t move,” the three of them blurted out in unison.

Leyna was startled. She came back to her senses and was no longer as distracted as before.

“Come here. Slow down. I’ll deal with the fragments.” Nels stretched out his hand to her, afraid that his wife would step on the fragments on the ground.

Levna was dragged out of the kitchen by him, and Nels dealt with the mess.

Paige looked at her wound and asked softly, “Where’s the first aid kit? I’ll take care of it.”

“No need. I’ll just put on a band–aid.”

“No, your wound is not small. It will be bad if you get bacterially infected.”

Levna didn’t expect the girl to be so persistent. She was a little stunned and unconsciously thought of her considerate daughter.

“My sister is a doctor. She will take care of it for you.”

Hearing Lamont’s words, both Leyna and Nels were a little surprised, especially Nels, who stopped picking up the fragments in disbelief.

He thought, “This girl looks young. I guess she’s a high school student. I didn’t expect her to be a doctor.”

“Where’s the first–aid kit?” she asked again.

“There are some feces in the first drawer on the left of the TV cabinet…”

Because it was a rented house, they didn’t have a medicine chest or much medicine. When she opened it, she found that there was only some casual medicine.

She took it out and disinfected it with ease. Leyna was stunned again.

“It will hurt a little. Bear with it.” After disinfectant, she helped her dress her wound.

Leyna looked at the girl’s serious expression and suddenly thought of her daughter…

When she opened the door just now, she saw the girl standing at the door with a cold temperament.

For a moment, she felt that the girl was like Yana…..

But he had to admit that this girl was even more beautiful than Yana. Her facial features were perfect and impeccable.

Looking at Lamont again, the family’s appearance and temperament were really much better than those of ordinary people.

Although Leyna had never heard Yana mention the brother and sister, from their words and deeds, she could tell that their family was not simple.

“Alright, don’t touch water for the time being.” Paige packed up her things again.

Leyna’s heart warmed up when she saw that the siblings had no ill intentions and were still being considerate towards her.

At this time, Nels also cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, poured two glasses of water and brought them to them. Seeing that the girl had helped his wife deal with the wound obediently, their vigilance was relieved a lot.

“I haven’t asked for your name yet.” Leyna knew that the girl’s brother’s name was Lamont, but she still didn’t know the girl’s name.

“My name is Paige Lusk.”

Leyna nodded and said to her husband, “Paige just said that what Yana ate before was very likely not vitamin, but a strong poison.”

When Nels heard this, he couldn’t believe it. He looked at Paige and asked, “How can you be so sure that it’s a strong poison? Have you seen it before?”

“We’ve already tested it.” Paige explained, “This powder is highly toxic, and it’s made from 16 types of poisonous herbs. If it’s used on a healthy body, they will immediately die.”

For example, the mouse in her laboratory died on the spot after licking the powder.

She didn’t even have time to rescue it.

“Are you sure?” Nels asked in a trembling voice.

Paige nodded. “Absolutely.”

“Since the toxicity is so strong, why is Yana fine after eating it…” Nels asked in disbelief.

“We guessed that she might have been poisoned and needed to rely on another kind of poison powder to fight against the poison. However, this process is very painful.”

She told them what she knew. “This kind of poison powder can’t completely detoxify, so we guessed that there might be no antidote for it in the world, so she had to use this poison powder to prolong her life.”

“No, it’s impossible…” Nels couldn’t believe it at all. How could his daughter be poisoned and rely on another poison to prolong her life? They had never heard of it!

“So, have you seen Yana eat the food in the vitamin C bottle before?”

“It happened more than a year ago.” Leyna confessed, “It was probably at the time of the accident.

Once, I accidentally saw her pour the powder into the water. I asked her what she was eating, and she smiled and said that it was a supplement, a white one… After that, when I was cleaning, I saw the bottle was written with vitamin C, so didn’t care much…”
