As soon as Abigail found out that the mushrooms were from Cloudgrove, she knew there was a problem.

Moreover, it was mushroom season.

“Take me to that doctor!” Abigail’s tone suddenly became stern.

Analise was startled and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Old Mr. Graham has been poisoned, and his condition is very serious. He’s still in the hospital. undergoing stomach

lavage surgery, and his life is hanging by a thread. If we don’t investigate this now, we’ll be doomed when Sean

returns from abroad.” Abigail grabbed Analise’s hand and dragged her along.

“But I ate the mushrooms, and I’m perfectly fine. Could it have been a misunderstanding? Analise’s eyes widened

with fear.

“You ate the first batch she gave to you while you gave Old Mr. Graham the second batch. I’m sure there is a

difference,” Abigail explained hurriedly.

“No, I split it into two portions for the second batch. I ate some and sent some to Colby. There’s really nothing

wrong with it. If it were poisoned, I’d be in the hospital by now, right? Besides, the mushrooms they gave me aren’t

poisonous,” Analise explained in a panic.

“There’s no time for all this discussion, Grandma. I need to talk to the doctor to get more details, alright?” Abigail

insisted.

Analise fell silent at that.

When they arrived at the communal area, Abigail managed to find Dr. Zena.

Dr. Zena had provided Análise with edible mushrooms known as Chicken Polypore, which were non-toxic. To prove

her innocence, Dr. Zena gave Abigail the remaining Chicken Polypore she had not consumed for further testing.

Analise had already finished eating all the Chicken Polypore she received, leaving only the ones from Dr. Zena.

If the poisoning was indeed related to consuming mushrooms, it was likely that the tampering occurred during the

delivery process.

In that case, even Sean might find it difficult to find out what happened.

Tracking down a tampering incident in the vast sea of daily deliveries across a state would be an extremely

challenging task.

Back at home, Abigail placed the Chicken Polypore on the coffee table and asked her

grandmother, “Which courier company did you use to deliver the Chicken Polypores? I will try to

contact them.”

“I haven’t done anything wrong, and Sean knows my character.” Analise gripped Abigail’s hand and tried to explain

herself.

With a bitter smile, Abigail muttered, “Who can say for sure when his grandfather’s life is at stake?”

Back then, she divorced Sean because of her grandmother. Now that something happened to Sean’s grandfather,

she couldn’t expect him to understand their situation.

“I’ll go to the hospital while you check with the courier station outside the communal area.” Analise grew

increasingly despondent.

“Don’t go to the hospital and just stay at home. The situation is not as simple as we initially thought. Staying home

for the time being is the best option, got it?” Abigail advised her grandmother.

Analise immediately understood the implied message in her words.

After running around for an entire afternoon, Abigail still couldn’t find anything helpful.

When the sky turned dark, she took the lab results for the Chicken Polypore and encountered Cameron, who had

been waiting for her at the entrance of their neighborhood.

“Mr. Graham will arrive in Pendorf at 4.00AM tomorrow,” Cameron informed Abigail. His relaxed demeanor from

before had given way to a more serious one.

Abigail nodded in response but remained silent.

“Old Mr. Graham’s condition is not looking good. This incident has caused damage to multiple organs, and he is still

under emergency treatment,” Cameron continued, his eyes lowered.

Abigail’s eyes widened slightly. “I’m truly sorry for this. My grandmother did send Chicken Polypore to Old Mr.

Graham, but the package was definitely switched during the delivery.”

“I can’t say for sure without evidence, but I will try to persuade Mr. Graham to run an investigation. I’d still advise

you to be prepared, though. Xavien told me that your lack of explanation has disappointed him. He might not be as

forgiving as before,” Cameron lamented, scratching his head.

He hadn’t expected the situation to develop this far without any warning.

“I understand that it involves his grandfather’s life, but I will also find a way to clear my grandmother’s name,”

Abigail replied and prepared to leave.

She knew that her grandmother must be worried after she left for the entire afternoon.”

Cameron silently watched Abigail’s retreating figure and sighed involuntarily.
