Chapter 1181 The Root Cause of Queenie’s Illness

Johann had been treating Queenie’s illness for some time, but it took him so long to find the root cause. He thought that it was not easy.

The typical checkup would not include a toxicology test. If Queenie had not received the mysterious package, her body would continue to weaken, and she might have died without anyone knowing any better.

The mysterious package had saved her life.

"Do you mean that you wouldn't have known that I was poisoned until you saw the package?" Queenie exclaimed.

She realized that the young woman had discovered the root cause of her illness just by taking her pulse, and she had delivered the package to her.

"Yes. I've studied the package, and it indeed contains the antidote, and the dosage is correct. If you take the medication regularly, your body will expel the poison very quickly. Also, the medicine includes several components that will strengthen your constitution," Johann said.

Queenie’s tears fell when she heard that.

She did not understand why the young woman would want to save her life. All she did was invite her for a slice of apple pie. Belongs to - All rights reserved.

Queenie looked at Jack. "Jack, please find that woman. She is my savior."

Jack nodded. "Don't worry, leave it to me."

He might have retired from the political scene, but he still had many connections in A City. It was not hard to search for that woman if he wanted to.

Luke frowned as he listened to the conversation between his in-laws. "How were you poisoned, Mom?"

Johann frowned and said, "I've been thinking about it too. If she had taken a large dose of the poison, the effects would be instantaneous, but I've never seen Mrs. Norman exhibiting any signs of poisoning. I can conclude that the poison must have been administered in very small doses, and it has been accumulating in her body over a long time. The poison has taken a toll on her body, but seeing that her condition did not continue to decline, I guess that the last dose of poison she ingested was over a year ago."

Jack listened to Johann's analysis and frowned. "Dr. Park, do you mean that the poison is ingested through the mouth?" "That is correct." Johann nodded.

"My wife and I have been eating the same food every day, so how was she poisoned while I don't feel anything at all?" Jack said.

Looking at Queenie’s condition, if she had been poisoned over a prolonged period, Jack should have felt something too, but he was just as healthy as ever.

Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, is there something that you've been eating but Dad hasn't?"

Queenie nodded. "I've been taking health supplements since five years ago. Jack doesn't take that." "Health supplements?" Jack frowned. "You mean the ones that Leia bought for you?" "Yes. Leia usually buys a year's worth of health supplements for me. After she went overseas and I finished up the remaining supplies, I switched to another brand. After that, you know that I stopped taking the supplements ever since my health declined." Suddenly, Queenie understood Jack's suspicions. "Are you suspecting that Leia did it?" "I guess we'll never find out," Jack frowned and said. He knew Leia's

true character. He knew Leia's true character, and although she had been behaving for the past few years, he was disappointed when he heard what Queenie told her.

"Leia won't do that." Queenie shook her head. "I'm her mother. Why would she do that to me?"

She could not believe that her daughter would poison her.

"Forget it then. It doesn't matter if she's the one who did it. You've already finished the supplements. We don't have any evidence that she did it, and there's no way for us to investigate it. We're lucky that the poison has a cure." Jack did not insist that Leia was the culprit in case Queenie became too agitated.

Queenie had already received a huge mental blow from Bianca's disappearance. If he tried to convince her that Leia had poisoned her, it would be another huge blow to her.

Knowing Leia's personality, it was not too farfetched to imagine that she would poison her mother. After all, he was fine because he did not take the supplements, while Queenie was poisoned.

He remembered that Leia used to buy liquor and cigarettes for him, but he did not take them because of health concerns. He considered himself lucky.

Luke turned around and asked Johann, "She'll be fine as long as she takes the herbs from the package, right?" "Yes. Boil the concoction in three cups of water and reduce it to one," Johann nodded and said. "How many portions did you receive in the package? I think Mrs. Norman will need to take the medicine consecutively for a month before we can see if she gets any better." "The person said in the letter that they'll be sending more packages," Queenie said.

"What if she forgets?" Luke commented, then turned to ask Johann, "Can you create the same concoction?" "Frankly, I'm not that well-versed in herbology, so my prescriptions might only be half as

effective."

Johann smiled awkwardly. "Everyone has their strengths, and I'm more proficient in surgery and modern medicine. It's best to cure Mrs. Norman's condition with a naturopathic treatment procedure. I believe that the mysterious benefactor will definitely send her more packages." "Can't you just replicate the prescription?" Luke was worried that there might be some unforeseen problems.

"Luke, I think you'll have to trust that person. If she can diagnose that Mrs. Norman is poisoned without any modern equipment, it means that she is very familiar with the poison. If she didn't send the full course of medicine,

it must mean that the dosage will change later. Don't worry, maybe she'll appear once Mrs. Norman is cured. We’ll just have to keep a close eye on Mrs. Norman's condition for the time being, and if her condition doesn't improve, I can still treat her with alternative means." Johann tried to convince them to trust that mysterious person.

"Mm." Luke nodded. After all, he had to trust the professional.

Johann breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can be discharged today, Mrs. Norman. Do you want to take the concoction at home or over here?"

Before they could answer, Luke said, "We’ll take it here."

It was better for Queenie to drink the concoction in the hospital in case an accident happened.

"Alright, I'll get the nurse to prepare the concoction. Mr. Norman, you can bring your wife back to the ward." Johann knew what he was thinking. He smiled and left the room with the package.
