I Want a Divorce by Abigail Quinn Novel

Chapter 360 Groggy

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.

Miss Quinn is still unaware of how thoroughly disappointed Mr. Graham is.

At 5.00AM, Sean arrived at the hospital.

Colby had already come out of the operating room, but the surgical outcome was not promising.

Due to his old age, his urinary system had been affected. Moreover, the delay in seeking medical attention after being poisoned developed concerns about his eyesight. Whether or not his sight. was damaged would only be revealed when he woke up.

Entering the ward, Sean noticed Kelly sitting in front of the bed, nodding off from exhaustion.

Lina was lying in the adjacent hospital bed, receiving an IV drip, and the only one taking care of the two elderly patients was Kelly.

Hearing the sound, she immediately woke up and turned her head to look at Sean. She promptly stood up and explained, “My brother asked me to stay back and take care of them.”

“Xavien, please escort Miss Hagl back to the hotel, Sean instructed without much elaboration.

There was no way he didn’t harbor any suspicions about Kelly, no matter how caring she seemed to be for his grandparents. He remained unfazed even after witnessing everything around him.

Xavien approached Kelly and politely said, “This way, please, Miss Hagl.”

Without uttering another word, she simply stood up and walked toward Xavien with a groggy expression.

When Sean approached his grandfather, he felt a sense of unfathomable sadness.

Just then, a loud thud came from the door.

Sean furrowed his brows and looked over to see that Kelly had bumped into the door. She was holding her forehead but didn’t utter a single complaint. Smiling awkwardly, she quickly caught up with Xavien.
