Chapter 87 Poison

Wasn’t it clear enough? He couldn’t even explain why Ursala had slipped into a coma.

It seemed like this one was beyond him.

“Let me handle this.”

Amelia strode directly to Ursala’s bedside without any courtesy. She pushed Gianna aside and prepared to take Ursala’s pulse herself.

That abrupt action immediately enraged Gianna, who had been standing there.

Her pretty expression darkened, and her sharp tongue came out.

“Really, Amelia? You don’t even know the basics of medicine, so quit acting like you do. What, you think touching her wrist will tell you something?”

The longer Gianna went on, the harsher she sounded. “Even the family doctor couldn’t figure it out, and now you’re pretending to be a doctor. Who are you trying to fool?

“I know you’ve never cared for Grandma, but don’t use her condition as your stage.”

Her words hit like a slap.

Several clueless brothers standing nearby chimed in.

“Yeah, Amelia, stop pretending you know everything. Grandma’s health isn’t a game!”

“Even the doctor’s at a loss. You really think you can outdo him?”

“Just because you once found someone to help Aunt Thea doesn’t make you some miracle worker!”

When the brothers finished, Emery and Raymond also spoke up.

“Amelia, step aside and let the doctor do his job!”

“Stop showing off. Why can’t you act more like Gianna, who truly cares for Grandma, instead of putting on a show?”

Amelia ignored all the ridicule and insults. Her entire focus was on Ursala..

Her eyes stayed calm as she gently pressed her fingers against Ursala’s wrist, concentrating on the rhythm. The noise around her faded into nothing.

Secing Amelia act like she didn’t exist only made Gianna angrier.

She reached out, trying to drag Amelia away from the bed.

“Move! Stop this nonsense. Just because Grandma can’t respond doesn’t mean you can do whatever you like.”

Right as Gianna’s hand was about to grab Amelia, Thea finally cut in, “Enough! Let Amelia do it.”

The room froze in silence. Gianna’s hand hung awkwardly in the air.

“Aunt Thea, how could you let her play around? She doesn’t know anything!”

Thea frowned, her tone sharp and firm. “What harm is there in letting her try? Maybe she’ll notice something we overlooked. I trust her.”

Thea might have been naive in romance before, but when it came to money, she was shrewd. She managed the family’s accounts and even owned a small share in the company.

Since she’d spoken reasonably, no one dared to object.

Amelia stayed focused on the pulse. After a while, she opened her eyes slowly, her expression thoughtful.

Gianna sneered. “What, can’t keep the act going? Told you you’re useless.”

Amelia ignored her and turned toward the family doctor.

“Grandma’s pulse is chaotic. This isn’t a simple fainting. Something foreign is lodged inside her, and her lips and face are darkening. She’s clearly been poisoned.”

Everyone was taken aback.

The doctor frowned, doubt on his face.

“Miss, that’s too vague. We’ve run complete tests and found no poisoning.”

Gianna, nervous as she might be exposed, let out a secret sigh of relief when she heard him.

She thought smugly, I covered my tracks so well. No way this fool could prove anything. Even if she suspects, she’ll never link it back to me.

Grabbing the chance, Gianna sneered. “Amelia, are you just making things up? The doctor already said there’s no poison, but you’re determined to scare everyone.”

Amelia gave a cold snort, and locked

eyes
