Chapter 566
On the little cart beside her, over a dozen vials of blood were neatly lined up, all freshly drawn from Elijah's body.
Elysia's heart felt like it was being squeezed, tears welling up in her eyes again. Her little Elijah, though no longer
in life-threatening danger, had suffered damage to various organs. He had to take medication, endure injections,
and go through painfully exhaustive examinations. Yesterday, during the stomach pump procedure, even though
Elijah was unconscious, he trembled and shivered in discomfort... And they had just drawn several vials of blood
yesterday, and now, even more! Her little boy was only five years old; how much blood could his tiny body even
hold? But there was no choice. The poisoning was severe, and all these tests were necessary! Elysia felt a mix of
distress and heartache, wishing she could take all this pain upon herself instead! She couldn't bear to see her
son go through this suffering. He was so young, yet had to endure such pain...
Elysia gently touched Elijah's hand, wanting to tell him 'Mommy is here," but she couldn't find her voice. Her
body trembled, lips quivering, tears steadily cascading down. Her little Elijah, how her heart ached for him...
"Ms. Thome."
Benjamin, having heard of her visit, hurried over to update her on Elijah's condition. Elysia sniffled hard, lowering
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther head to wipe away her tears, "Yeah." Benjamin gave her a look, touched yet somewhat puzzled. Elysia's love
for Elijah was no less than Tarquin's! Yet she wasn't Elijah's biological mother. Why then was her affection so
intense? Her love for Elijah seemed a bit much. It was rare to see such strong emotions unless one was the
biological parent or had raised the child themselves. But Benjamin had personally conducted the paternity test;
Elysia and Elijah were indeed not related by blood! Benjamin was curious but didn't press further. He softly told
Elysia, "We've identified all the toxic substances in Elijah's system, take a look. Also, the results from yesterday's
battery of tests are all here."
Elysia quickly took them to examine. She read through each result with utmost attention! The more she read, the
more agitated she became! "Just as | thought! Just as | thought!" Like she had discovered something incredible,
she dashed out of the ICU! Pulling down her mask, she confronted Tarquin, teeth clenched, body trembling! Her
eyes were a mix of pain, guilt, anger, and resentment! Tarquin, just off the phone, was confused, "What's
wrong?" Before Elysia could speak, tears began to flow. She harshly wiped away her tears, only for new ones to
quickly replace them. With a trembling voice, she asked, "Have you found out who poisoned Elijah?" Tarquin
stared at her intensely, "What happened?"
Elysia's voice rose sharply as she demanded, "Did you find who poisoned Elijah?!" Tarquin frowned, puzzled by
her demeanor. Without nodding or shaking his head, he shared the current findings, "The perpetrator tampered
with Elijah's dinnerware. Last night, while you were on the phone, a new soup and bowl were served, and the
poison was on the soup bowl. Elijah drank from that bowl and was poisoned on the spot. Lowell conducted a
sweep of everyone who could have had access to that bowl and found a suspect, a maid in charge of the
children's dinnerware. But before we could interrogate her, she was found dead."
