Chapter 940
The blood test report was handed to Vivian Laurent.
Her pupils constricted sharply as she stared at the abnormal data.
"Poisoning."
The doctor nodded gravely. "Not food poisoning. This was deliberate."
Vivian's fingertips turned cold.
Who could have poisoned her without her noticing?
When had the toxin entered her system?
Her mind raced.
"Analyze the toxin composition," she said quietly. "Don't tell the man outside. And bring that girl in for testing."
Emily Garnache was quickly escorted into the examination room.
"Vivian, are you okay?" Emily's face was etched with worry.
"I'm fine." Vivian handed her a blood collection tube. "Get tested too."
"Poisoned?" Emily's eyes widened. "But I feel completely normal!"
"Just a precaution."
After the blood draw, Vivian asked casually, "What did Ethan Roscente say outside?"
"He just asked about your recent condition." Emily blinked. "Should I call him in?"
"No." Vivian shook her head. "Don't mention the poisoning."
Emily's test results came back faster than expected.
"You've been poisoned too." The doctor pointed at the report.
Emily shot to her feet. "That's impossible!"
She had no symptoms.
How could she be poisoned?
Vivian studied both reports, her gaze turning icy.
The same toxin.
The same dosage.
"What have we both been exposed to recently?" she asked Emily.
Emily bit her lip in thought. "We eat and live together... Skincare products? Perfume?"
"No." Vivian shook her head. "I've already checked those."
The doctor interjected, "Both of you show trace amounts. This appears to be long-term, low-dose exposure."
Long-term?
Vivian's pulse spiked.
"Run tests on everything we've come into contact with over the past three months."
She turned to the doctor. "Could this toxin affect a fetus?"
The doctor hesitated. "At these levels... it shouldn't."
Shouldn't.
Vivian clenched her fists.
"Vivian..." Emily's voice trembled. "Are we—"
"Stay calm." Vivian gripped her hand. "First, we find the source."
The examination room door suddenly swung open.
Ethan Roscente stood in the doorway, his expression dark. "What are you hiding from me?"
