Chapter 801 "This potion, when mixed with water, becomes toxic. It will lead to a person feeling drowsy all day, losing their appetite, feeling weak, and becoming sensitive to the cold. In less than a week, the person would waste away." Arabella's gaze fell on Helen, "Being able to work here as a nurse indicates that you have some knowledge of pharmacology. Do you know why | suspect you? Because in the medicine | gave to my grandfather, there was an ingredient that could be easily extracted.

You're smart. Instead of buying from an outside source, you chose to source it locally." “I have no idea what you're talking about!" Helen's expression became even more uneasy.

"Haley is loyal to my grandmother, so | don't suspect her. As for you, what is your motive?" “Helen, is it really you?" Louisa couldn't believe it. "Why would you do such a thing?" "Bella isn't wrong. | believe her. As for you, my mother never bothered you. Why would you harm her?" Kenneth was also very angry.

"It wasn't me." Helen's face was growing paler, and she started to avoid their gaze.

"Still denying it? Do you know what the consequences are for harming a member of the Collins family?” Serena scolded.

Cornelia, who was lying in the hospital bed, saw Helen's uneasy expression and already had the answer in her mind.

However, she couldn't understand, "We have no grudges. Why would you do this?" True to her reputation of being a powerful woman for many years, she was still calm in the face of her assailant.

Arabella suddenly saw her grandmother in a new light.

"With just one call, | can make you confess.” Louisa was almost certain, anger in her voice. "So, do you want to confess here, or at the police station?" At the mention of the police station, Helen couldn't hold it in any longer and finally decided to confess everything.

Over the past few months, while taking care of Arabella's grandfather, she had grown fond of him and wanted to be by his side.

However, when she saw Cornelia wake up, she started to panic, fearing she would never have a chance, so she decided to kill.

She thought if Cornelia was dead, Cornelia's husband would choose the person by his side.

With her knowledge of pharmacology, she thought she could do it flawlessly.

But she didn't expect that before Cornelia even had a sip of the poisoned drink, Arabella had already found out! Who was this girl? Why was she so knowledgeable in medicine? Louisa was speechless after hearing the reason. So, the nurse wanted to kill Cornelia and take her place.

And she didn't even consider her own status! Louisa angrily called the hospital, telling them to send Helen to the police station immediately.

Cornelia's gaze fell on Arabella. Her decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom in analyzing the situation were indeed impressive.

"Bella, how did you discover there was something wrong with the water?" Cornelia asked affectionately.

"When this potion is mixed with water and exposed to light, the water becomes a bit cloudy, and there's a tiny bit of powdery substance floating at the bottom of the cup. Because these particles are so small, they are not easy to detect." Anyone who drank water wouldn't notice if it's cloudier than usual, and even if there were tiny, barely visible particles floating in it, they wouldn't be suspicious.

"You also know about this field." Cornelia was surprised and appreciative.

"Mom, you have no idea how much Bella knows." Kenneth couldn't stop praising her, "She has many good qualities." "We're lucky to have you." Cornelia patted Arabella's hand again, then looked at Louisa, "Oh, my recovery wouldn't be possible without the doctors’ efforts. Please ask them to come over. | would like to thank them in person."
