Chapter 1403 The True Nature

Leah felt embarrassed to hear that from Sasha.

“No, no, I’m not a science student. We didn’t have categorization like those during my time. I’m sort of

all right in them. It’s mere luck that I could join the research institute,” she humbly denied, and yet

Sasha could hear the tinge of pride in her words.

After all, her entry into the research institute had been an achievement of hers back then.

Right as she was feeling gleeful about her achievement, the younger woman picked up the tomato she

had suggested to her to buy earlier.

“Well, if you’re well in both chemistry and biology, how would you not know that the combination of

protein and tannic acid is destructive toward the human body?”

“What?”

The smile on Leah’s face froze.

Sasha continued, “Look. The tomato is rich in vitamin C. When it’s mixed with shrimps, it will form

arsenic trioxide. I don’t think I need to tell you what kind of harmful effects it has on the human body,

right?”

Without missing a beat, Sasha added, “Also, the spinach you were talking about earlier contains a high

amount of nutrition. If you cook it with shrimp, not only will it produce potassium, but various kinds of

chemical reactions will also occur. In fact, it can also create irreversible harm to the stomach. Mrs.

Pence, are you doing this on purpose?”

By the time she reached her last sentence, her words were already of an icy tone and Leah’s face had

turned ashen.

When she heard Sasha question her intentions, her hands began to shake.

“W-What do you mean? How could I have done this intentionally? I… I never thought of this. I only

wanted to make the boy a few dishes that he would like. I never thought of this!” she snapped, furious.

Sasha glanced at her, but she did not reply to her.

Instead, she walked toward the eggs and picked two to put on her hands. Then she began talking

about the shrimp rolls that Leah had kept talking about earlier.

“Wendy told us a while ago that Little Ian has been refusing to eat his meals. He only ate a little when

he went to your place, and his favorite is your shrimp rolls.”

“And?”

“Shrimp rolls by themselves are fine, but what if you marinated the shrimps in something else? Perhaps

a mixture of spinach juice?” Sasha enunciated each word, almost gritting the words out.

Indeed, she had finally come to realize that the boy must not be interested in food because of a lack of

an appetite. Most of the time, a lack of an appetite would be due to a weak stomach.

A weak stomach was something that would happen if one consumed spinach with shrimps.

Right then, trembles began wracking Leah’s body.

Her entire face was bright red as a look of hatred and anger took over the friendly and enthusiastic

demeanor she had earlier.

Glaring at Sasha, she snarled, “Sasha Wand, you’re an ingrate. Your son is here to learn from others.

He has no one taking care of him, so I fed him! Yet, you’re now telling me that I’m trying to poison him?

Where’s your heart?”

“I’m sure you know well whether or not I’m right.”

Leah did not answer to that.

“Also, have you forgotten about something important? Although I’m not as educated as you are, and

even though I can’t get into a place like this, I’m a doctor. In fact, I’m a famous TCM doctor.”

Finally, Leah fell silent.

Once those words left Sasha’s mouth, the older woman stood transfixed, silent, with a colorless face.

At that, Sasha’s calmness fled her. The thought of how her eleven-year-old son had been getting

poisoned by the woman infuriated her.

Instantly, she threw her bag in front of her and hissed out, “You’ll pay for this!”

Those were her last words to her before she turned and left.

Even if she were to be hurt, she would not let her son come to harm. She was not going to let anyone

hurt him anymore, for he was her everything.

With that thought in mind, Sasha ran all the way to the base.

She was prepared to take her son out of the base and bring him back to Avenport.

Beep… Beep…

“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.”

While she was on her way to the base, she tried to call Sebastian, who was overseas. Unfortunately,

she could not reach him.

What’s going on?

Has he switched off his phone to focus on negotiating with the clients?

Sasha panicked. If I want to bring the boy back immediately, I’ll need someone to make arrangements

for the helicopter. Hence, she clicked into the group chat.

Sasha: Devin, respond to me ASAP. Something happened at the base!

Sabrina: What happened? Devin just headed off to the military base. I don’t think he has the time to

look at his phone now.

Sasha: Then call him quickly! I just realized there’s something wrong with Leah. She’s been feeding

Little Ian poisonous food. I have to take him away from the base right away. I’m scared that he might be

in danger.

Old Mr. Jadeson: What?

The elderly man suddenly showed up in the chat.

However, that short message was the only message he had sent out in the group chat as he quickly

called his granddaughter-in-law shortly after.
