Chapter 140
Ralph paused for a moment and suddenly became serious. "Where's your Uncle Frank? Call him over!"
"He..."
Mable answered after a moment of hesitation. "He fled the country."
She did not dare to tell him about Frank's death.
Although Frank had done many wrong things, he was still Ralph's son.
Ralph experienced the feeling of loss when Mable's parents passed away. She was afraid he would not be able to take it anymore.
"Grandpa, many things happened during this time..."
Mable told him about Frank hiring assassins to kill her and the fact that he poisoned him.
She also told him how Frank and Marissa stole everything in his safe when they fled.
"That bastard!"
Old Master Jefferson was red with anger after he heard about everything.
He knew his poisoning had something to do with Frank. However, he did not think that Frank also tried to get Mable killed. Their family was unfortunate!
Ralph held Mable's hands tightly. "Mabes, when I find them, I'll personally settle the score!"
There was nothing more heart-wrenching than being persecuted by close ones.
After being mad, Ralph could not help but feel a little sad.
He was ashamed to have raised such a ruthless son!
Mable knew he did not feel good about it. He had just woken up and could not be too agitated.
Once they had dinner together, Mable was worried he could not sleep well, so she gave him tranquilizing acupuncture.
Richworth.
Early in the morning, Solomon brought Blair's blood test result to the Royal View Villa.
He handed the test report to Blair and said grimly, "We have the answer-you've been poisoned by one called Vortex."
It was a poison invented by some outrageous scientists in Erebar, and it could destroy one's blood clotting function. So, if the person poisoned bled from an injury, the bleeding could not be easily stopped, no matter how small the wound was.
Moreover, the pain of the wound would be amplified tens or even hundreds of times.
Not only that, but it would also cause insomnia, leading to neurasthenia in the long run.
The poison was not fatal, but it was very torturous. Even minor illnesses and small injuries could cause excruciating pain.
Coupled with long-term insomnia and poor mental health, even the healthiest body could be worn down by it.
Blair took the document and looked at it with no emotions on his pale face. "Is there any antidote to the poison?"
Solomon frowned. "There's no antidote for it, and the hospital is still researching on it."
Blair closed the file and looked at his bandaged wound.
He had wondered why his wound still hurt so much last night, even after taking painkillers. It turned out that the poison amplified the pain.
"Did you stay up all night?" Solomon asked when he noticed Blair's heavy dark eye circles.
Blair pinched the spot between his eyebrows. "I couldn't sleep."
His mind was full of Mable as soon as he closed his eyes.
When they spoke on the phone last
night,

spo was afraid she would
notice that he was hurt, so he had
spoken to her coldly on purpose. He regretted it a little after he hung up.
He should have said a few more words to her.
Solomon said, "Don't worry. The hospital will definitely be able to develop an antidote."
Blair nodded and looked at Amos. "How's the company doing lately?"
"Don't worry. Everything is as usual."
Amos added after a pause, "It's just that Master Luke came to the
.ne
company yesterday and said he was doing an inspection. He strolled around and didn't do anything else."
Tracey remembered something when he said that. "By the way, 10 heard from the old servants at the Fowler Residence that Dad called
им
Anthony back for a meal a few days age."
Blair's eyes flickered.
He had been busy with Mable's affairs lately and had not paid much attention to the movements at the old residence.
If Luke had called Anthony to the old residence for a meal, it would mean he was making plans.
Solomon looked at Tracey in surprise. "Anthony? Isn't he abroad? Did he come back?"
Tracey nodded.
"Your dad wouldn't be trying to "
Before Solomon could finish, Aunt Grace came upstairs and said, "Master Blair, someone is looking for you. He said his name is Anthony." Tracey frowned. "What is he doing here?"
Speak of the devil!
