Chapter 837
"The pomegranate juice is indeed pure, but there were lots of saffron purees mixed into it. Thus, we can conclude
the patient's gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by overdosing on saffron. Saffron is known as a precious herb and,
in small doses, can make the body healthier and the skin better. However, taking more than the recommended
dose will cause vomiting, peeing blood, heavy period, acute poisoning, acute internal bleeding, and miscarriage or
infertility in pregnant women," explained the doctor.
The doctor's revelation shocked everyone. 'So there was something wrong with the pomegranate juice!'
At the word 'miscarriage', Jeremy frowned and clenched his fists.' Someone here is trying to hurt Corinne and the
baby!'
Anya was flabbergasted. 'What the hell is wrong with this doctor? What's the use of bribing him if he's not going to

"Doctor, what are you talking about? How is it possible that there's saffron in the pomegranate juice? Did you read
the test result correctly?” asked Anya as she blinked pointedly at the doctor.
The doctor was unfazed by what she was doing. "Miss Anya, I'm pretty sure I'm not mistaken. If you don't believe
me, you can read the test result for yourself. It's written very clearly here."
He then passed the test result to Anya.
Anya glared at the doctor speechlessly, on the brink of a meltdown. 'What... How... Why...?
However, Lucas snatched the test result away before Anya could take it from the doctor's hand. His expression
immediately darkened when he read what was on it.
Phoebe, who was waiting for Corinne to apologize to her just seconds ago, panicked. By then, her face had turned
ashen.
Lucas threw the test result on Phoebe's face before narrowing his eyes at her sinisterly. "Aunt Phoebe, you were the
one who made the pomegranate juice for Corinne, right? Why would you add in saffron puree when you knew she
was pregnant? What were you trying to do?"
Phoebe watched as the test result fell before her eyes. There's no denying the saffron part now...so I need to come
up with another tactic.'
A second later, she pretended to be shocked. "Heavens, I didn't know Corinne was pregnant! She's so young and
skinny! No one will be able to tell she's pregnant."
Lucas scoffed and his jaw tensed up. "Even if you didn't know she's pregnant, you still shouldn't have added so
much saffron into the pomegranate juice!"
By then, Phoebe had fleshed out her answer in her mind. She shook her head and hands innocently. "You have to let
me explain, Lucas. I admit I did add some saffron into the juice, but I didn't know putting too much would be

dangerous!
"I got the recipe from the internet, and it says adding some saffron will make the juice taste better. Plus, it's good
for your health too! I thought adding more will make it better seeing as Corinne is an important guest who saved
your grandfather's life. Who could've known a precious herb like that could turn out so dangerous? If I had known, I
wouldn't have let Sunny drink the juice either!"
In truth, Phoebe knew the dangerous side effects of consuming too much saffron, but what she did not know was it
worked just as well on a man as a woman.
Lucas was no fool. He looked at her sharply and asked, "So you got the recipe from the internet, huh? Well, where is
it? Show it to me now."
"Umm... I deleted the recipe after making the juice, so..." said Phoebe awkwardly.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. "I'm sure you can look up the recipe online again.
I'm curious to see what recipe will teach someone to add such a dangerous ingredient into a juice!"
