Chapter 58 Food Tampering

Olivia swept a glance across everybody in the room, then pretended to be unconcerned. “It’s nothing; I was just asking. It wasn’t due to a fluctuation in his emotions and the food he ate seems fine. Perhaps, his blood pressure is simply unstable due to his medical history. Old Man Nolan is getting on in his years. Next time, you should take him out to the yard for a short walk when you’re free. I’m going to perform acupuncture on him now. Please leave the room so that the patient can get some fresh air in here.”

After that, everybody obediently left the room, leaving only Olivia and Eugene inside the room.

“What’s wrong?” Eugene asked worriedly.

Olivia chuckled softly. I can’t believe he could tell that I was lying. Thus, she deliberately asked, “What?”

He replied confidently, “There’s something amiss about why my grandpa is unconscious!”

She raised her brows at him. “Smart!” As she said that, she glanced at the tightly-shut door. “Old Man Nolan’s coma was caused by a sudden rise in his blood pressure. If it wasn’t due to a fluctuation in his emotions, and the food he ate wasn’t something that could influence his blood pressure, that can only mean that somebody tampered with his food!”

His expression darkened immediately—it was terrifying. “Are you saying somebody is trying to hurt him?”

Meanwhile, she had on a serious expression as she opened the bag she brought with her and spread it open. Taking out the needles that were carefully arranged in the bag, she inserted needles into the nine acupuncture points along his pericardium meridian, which started from the chest and ran down along

the arm to end at the tip of the middle finger. As she worked, she was unhurried, and every needle she inserted was precise.

Thus, he did not rush her nor disturb her. Besides, he found the way she looked at the moment to be very pleasant to the eyes.

After a while, she stood up and looked at him. “I suspect somebody added a small amount of medication in the old man’s food to increase his blood pressure. As you know, people with cerebrovascular diseases are most sensitive to sudden increases in their blood pressure. If it only happens once or twice, nothing might come out of it. But, if it happens over a long period, the walls of the arteries will become thin. If that happens, the old man’s life will be endangered!”

His expression was dark and solemn, and his eyes were dangerously narrowed. However, he said nothing.

“Have you thought about how you’re going to catch the culprit?” she asked.

He replied, “There are surveillance cameras in the Nolan residence.”

“If you know about it, won’t the people who tampered with the old man’s food know about it too?” she asked again.

Upon hearing that, Eugene frowned. That’s true. It’s not going to be easy to catch a culprit that was actively avoiding the surveillance cameras. “Then, let’s interrogate them one by one!”

“That will just tip the culprits off.”

He gazed up at her. “Do you have a way to catch them?”

Olivia studied her surroundings. Old Man Nolan’s room was the easiest place for somebody to avoid the surveillance cameras as well as everybody else. Then, she pointed at a small ornament on the

bedside table. “If they can do it once, they will do it again. As long as you don’t alert them to it, you’ll be able to catch the culprit.”

He immediately understood what she meant. “Okay.”

As they talked, Old Man Nolan, who was lying on the bed, gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the people around him in confusion while he was still a little drowsy; the first face he saw was Olivia’s. A look of surprise flashed across his face before he understood what was going on. “Doctor Maxwell?”

Olivia nodded. Then, she started removing the needles from his shoulder, smilingly saying to him, “Grandpa, how do you feel?”

Old Man Nolan smiled and nodded. “I’m good; just a little tired and disorganized.”

She laughed, coaxing him, “That’s normal. You overslept. It’s already noon. You slept so much you nearly scared your family to death.”

Feeling happy after being coaxed, he smiled. “They just like making a fuss out of nothing!”

Still, she sternly warned, “Grandpa, you can’t act so willfully next time.”

Eugene stood by the bed with his hands in his pockets, glancing down at the old man on the bed. Although he looked like he normally did, there was a trace of joy and relief in his eyes.

In response, Old Man Nolan smilingly replied, “I got it! I’ll sleep less next time!”

Upon hearing that, Eugene smiled silently. As if you can sleep less just because you want to.

The atmosphere of the entire room became warmer simply because the old man had woken up. Until… Olivia answered a phone call that destroyed the warm atmosphere within the room.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“What?! How is my child doing?” Olivia was so frightened that she stood up abruptly and her complexion drained of color immediately.
