Husband

“Then what should we do?” Dayton was so anxious that he felt his heart was going to stop. “Is there nothing we can do to save Mr. Monroe?” 

Before Vera could speak, Neil stood barefooted on the ground, grabbed Vera’s hand, and shook it hard. The little guy was begging Vera to save his Daddy. 

Vera’s mind was shaking when she stared at Neil’s innocent face. 

S ought, ‘Honestly, I don’t want to save Carlos. My revenge is halfway if he dies. 

‘However, if I don’t save Carlos today, Neil will hate me. This will become a dead knot between me and Neil. 

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Vera decided to save Carlos, 

She murmured to herself, ‘Well. Carlos can only die in my hands. The murderer makes fun of my career by killing a person in front of me. 

Vera gestured for Dayton to carry Neil back to the bed. Then, she knelt beside Carlos with Ramon 

to start the treatment. 

Carlos’s pale face was turning slightly purple. 

It meant that the poison was flowing especially fast in his body. Vera had to find the source of the poison within a few minutes, or Carlos would die. 

Vera opened Carlos’s mouth to check if there was a strange smell in his mouth. However, she found nothing. 

Then, Vera took out a tongue–suppressing stick and carefully examined Carlos’s mouth. There was still nothing. Hence, she said with certainty, “It’s not food poisoning.” 

She reached out to untie Carlos’s collar. She was about to apply acupuncture to several important acupuncture points to see how the poison would react to the silver needles that were smeared with different medicines. 

At this moment, Ramon noticed a clue, saying, “Look at the wound on the back of his hand.” 

Vera quickly grabbed her little flashlight to illuminate it. 

Carlos punched the painting and broke the glass yesterday. Thus, he had a wound on the back of his hand. Ramon remembered he had cleaned the wound carefully and used the best healing ointment. 

The wound should have healed well, but it looked dark purple instead. If one sniffed it closely, there was a strong bitter smell. 

Vera took out a silver needle, roasted it over a fire, and pricked it on the wound.

Mon, Au 

When she pulled the needle out, the silver needle was pitch–black. 

Vera said, “The poison entered the blood through the wound on the back of his hand. The time of poisoning has been hours. It should be the time when Averie held the press conference” 

After Vera had a judgment, she hurriedly said to Dayton, “Dayton, call Adam now. Ask him to recall carefully what Carlos had touched with his right hand. 

“Ask Adam to bring all the items to the Monroe family. I need to test them.” 

Dayton was stunned for a while and looked at Ramon in a daze, thinking, ‘Dr. Miracle has not spoken, yet his assistant has already found the source of the poison?‘ 

Ramon did not have the time to explain to Dayton. He ordered, “Do as she says!” 

Ramon thought, ‘Since Vera decided to save Carlos, I will be with her from the beginning to the end. If she regrets it, she can blame me. There is no need for her to bear all the responsibility for today’s decision alone! 

“Oh, sure. I’ll get right on it.” 

While Dayton was making the call, Ramon and Vera carried Carlos on the ground to Neil’s big bed. 

At that moment, Carlos seemed to have regained some consciousness. In a daze, he felt that he had returned to six years ago when he was in a vegetative state. A slender figure carried him around. 

Neil sensibly hid in a corner and did not cry or make a fuss. He even knelt there and prayed for Carlos. 

Vera reached out and stroked her son’s little head, comforting him with her eyes. “Don’t worry, Mommy will save Daddy.” 

Then, Vera and Ramon stripped Carlos down to his underpants. 

Before Adam came to the Monroe family with the items, Vera needed to start acupuncture to stop the poison from spreading to save some time for Carlos. 

However, Vera’s gaze would drift to Carlos’s private part from time to time. That puzzled Ramon. 

He asked, “I don’t think you need acupuncture there, do you?”
