Chapter 102-2
Not A Small-Town Girl
Everyone then looked at Austin, knowing that he might have something to say.
"Austin, do you have anything to say?" Joseph asked calmly. "Did you discover something?"
The people in the ward looked at Austin.
"I suspect that weâve been poisoned," Austin said. "The poison is likely very well hidden, and modern medical equipment canât detect it."
Xavier jumped up in a flash, cursing, "What? Iâm poisoned? Which bastard poisoned me?"
"Can you be quiet?" Howard said with a frown and swatted Xavierâs head.
Xavier looked at Howard with a face full of resentment and said, "Dad, Iâve been poisoned and about to die. Why are you still hitting me on the head? No wonder Iâm not bright. Itâs all because of you hitting me!"
Xavierâs loud behavior left everyone in the ward speechless. "Just let the poison take you then," Matthew said, shooting a glare at the not-so-bright Xavier.
"Matthew, you really donât love me at all," Xavier said. "Iâm a forgotten soul that no one loves. My life is tough. But I still have tens of millions of fans who love me. Hmph."
"Did this silly boy really come from me?" Vivian said, sighing deeply and looking up with a look of disbelief.
"Xavier, quiet down," Elliot said.
With a serious expression, he continued. "Austin, are you sure weâre poisoned?"
He and his siblings had been poisoned without anyone knowing, so he figured it was highly likely that someone close to them did it. He also reckoned that it was very likely done by someone they trusted as that person managed to poison them and still went unnoticed.
"Itâs very likely," Austin said. "Itâs not just our family. Other families are also in the same situation. Itâs just that theyâre all hiding it as they are worried it will affect their companyâs share prices."
If most of the people in a family were experiencing health problems, their family business would definitely be affected, and the Darling family was no exception.
Xavierâs eyes lit up as he looked at everyone and said, "We can ask Danielle. Her medical skills are amazing. She even cured Grandpa and Grandma, so she definitely has a way."
"Danielleâs medical skills are great, but weâre still unsure if the cause is poison," Howard said. "If this poison is powerful and Danielle canât do anything about it, wonât it be very dangerous for her to come back?
"If itâs really poisoning, it must have been done by someone close to us and someone we trust since it has been done without us noticing."
Howard knew his precious daughterâs medical skills were advanced, but he didnât want her to take any risks.
