Arabella's movement halted mid-air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLouisa sensed something was amiss, she couldn't help but ask, "Bella, what's wrong?" "There's something wrong with this water." As soon as she uttered these words, everyone in the room was stunned. The water was tainted? What was wrong? "There's a slow-acting poison in it." Arabella's statement sent a wave of shock across the faces of everyone present, even Cornelia was visibly taken aback.
This was the Collins family's private hospital! Every single healthcare worker on this floor catered solely to the needs of the Collins family! Under such circumstances, outsiders couldn't possibly gain entry! So, when could someone have possibly poisoned the water? Arabella, clearly aware of this dilemma, asked Louisa, "Has anyone else been here recently?" "No one, just us, the doctors and nurses, and two nursing workers." Since Arabella’s grandparents were in the same room, they were looked after by two nursing workers separately.
Apart from them, no outsiders had been present.
Arabella's gaze swept over everyone present. Serena noticed her scrutiny and immediately felt a bit uneasy.
Was Arabella going to use this opportunity to slander her? Out of the blue, why was Arabella looking at her? However, the next moment, Arabella's gaze shifted away from her and onto others.
Serena heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Arabella didn't seize the opportunity to create a scene.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ms. Bella, | had just replaced this water in the morning, it can't possibly be poisoned.” The one speaking was Julie, she had been diligently caring for the old lady for months now and had come to regard her as family.
“What time did you replace it?" Arabella's tone was gentle. She was seemingly not intending to consider Julie a suspect.
"It was around eight. After the doctor's morning rounds, | went to replace the water. No one else had been here till you guys arrived." "So, you replaced the water for everyone in the room?" "No, the water | replaced was solely for the old lady. Helen and I both fetch water from outside. The old man’s water was replaced by Helen." Arabella then opened her grandfather's water bottle. It wasn't poisoned. Could it be that the person who poisoned the water was targeting her grandmother alone? "Besides you two, who else knew that my grandparents use separate water bottles?" Arabella inquired again.
"The doctors and nurses probably didn't pay attention to these details. Apart from us and the family, no one else should know." By this time, Helen's face had turned somewhat unnatural. She knew Arabella was knowledgeable in medical matters but she hadn't expected that she could instantly spot what was wrong with the water.
Now, Arabella turned her attention towards Helen. She was sitting beside her grandfather, her head bowed, trying to keep a low profile. However, Arabella could make out a hint of panic in her demeanor.
"So, Helen is the one who poisoned the water." Arabella's words scared Helen, making her jump to her feet, defensively retorting, "Ms. Bella, you can't speak recklessly!" Julie, who was standing by, jumped to her colleague's defense, "It couldn't have been Helen. She's always been devotedly taking care of the old man.’
