Not A Small-Town Girl

Everyone then looked at Austin, knowing that he might have something to say.

"Austin, do you have anything to say?" Joseph asked calmly. "Did you discover something?" noveldrama

The people in the ward looked at Austin.

"I suspect that we’ve been poisoned," Austin said. "The poison is likely very well hidden, and modern medical equipment can’t detect it."

Xavier jumped up in a flash, cursing, "What? I’m poisoned? Which bastard poisoned me?"

"Can you be quiet?" Howard said with a frown and swatted Xavier’s head.

Xavier looked at Howard with a face full of resentment and said, "Dad, I’ve been poisoned and about to die. Why are you still hitting me on the head? No wonder I’m not bright. It’s all because of you hitting me!"

Xavier’s loud behavior left everyone in the ward speechless. "Just let the poison take you then," Matthew said, shooting a glare at the not-so-bright Xavier.

"Matthew, you really don’t love me at all," Xavier said. "I’m a forgotten soul that no one loves. My life is tough. But I still have tens of millions of fans who love me. Hmph."

"Did this silly boy really come from me?" Vivian said, sighing deeply and looking up with a look of disbelief.

"Xavier, quiet down," Elliot said.

With a serious expression, he continued. "Austin, are you sure we’re poisoned?"

He and his siblings had been poisoned without anyone knowing, so he figured it was highly likely that someone close to them did it. He also reckoned that it was very likely done by someone they trusted as that person managed to poison them and still went unnoticed.

"It’s very likely," Austin said. "It’s not just our family. Other families are also in the same situation. It’s just that they’re all hiding it as they are worried it will affect their company’s share prices."

If most of the people in a family were experiencing health problems, their family business would definitely be affected, and the Darling family was no exception.

Xavier’s eyes lit up as he looked at everyone and said, "We can ask Danielle. Her medical skills are amazing. She even cured Grandpa and Grandma, so she definitely has a way."

"Danielle’s medical skills are great, but we’re still unsure if the cause is poison," Howard said. "If this poison is powerful and Danielle can’t do anything about it, won’t it be very dangerous for her to come back?

"If it’s really poisoning, it must have been done by someone close to us and someone we trust since it has been done without us noticing."

Howard knew his precious daughter’s medical skills were advanced, but he didn’t want her to take any risks.
