Not A Small-Town Girl

Vivian said, "Danielle, so you’ve known that. Your brothers are at home. The doctor can’t tell anything. Austin deduced that he might have been poisoned, but he’s not sure yet."

The Darling family was discussing the illness in the study. When Danielle called, Vivian put the phone on speaker so that everyone could hear it.

Danielle told Vivian, "Mom, describe the symptoms of my brothers."

Joseph spoke up, "Danielle, I’m Joseph. In the first few days, my body was very tired. Occasionally, I would have a headache. Recently, my bones have also hurt a little. Sometimes, I would faint." noveldrama

Danielle had a general idea of the type of poison involved. It had a short incubation period, caused severe pain throughout the body when it struck, and led to respiratory difficulties in later stages. She needed to hurry back to her country.

The butler had been by the man’s side since he was very young. He felt sorry for the man’s encounter, but he was also afraid of the man’s ruthless methods. One second, the man smiled at him, and the next second, the man might take his life.
