Chapter 173 Poisoning

Kieran grew very emotional and was seemingly a moment away from getting physical with Jared.

Upon seeing that, Walter instantly zipped forward and held him back. “Kieran, Mr. Chance is here to treat

your wife. What are you doing?”

“Don’t worry, for your wife is just unconscious. She’ll be fine.”

Having said that, Jared sat on the bed and placed a hand on the elderly woman’s pulse. On the heels of

that, a burst of pure spiritual energy left his body and streamed into hers.

If she were possessed, his spiritual energy would undoubtedly be able to force the spirit out. Regretfully,

no matter how much he increased the flow of his spiritual energy, she remained still without the slightest

reaction.

At that, Jared frowned slightly. “Hmm? Could it be that I made a mistake?”

In the beginning, he had thought that she was possessed by a malicious spirit, and he only needed to

force it out before absorbing it into himself. However, it seemed that she wasn’t possessed, after all.

“Mr. Chance?” Walter called out softly when nothing happened after a long while, and he noticed

something off about Jared’s expression.

At that moment, Josephine mustered her courage and went up behind Jared. Despite her fear, she was

still curious and wanted to see how exactly a spirit looked like.

A long time passed without anything transpiring, and the atmosphere in the entire room turned a tad

awkward.

Jared slowly retracted his hand, sweat beading on his forehead.

He had used too much spiritual energy earlier, so he was a touch enervated.

“She’s not suffering from hysteria, so I’ll check for other causes.”

After saying that, he picked up a silver needle and gently inserted it into the elderly woman’s wrist. Then

he slowly twisted it.

Soon, almost the entire needle was embedded in her wrist.

A moment later, he took it out, only to see a drop of black blood beading at her wrist.

Everyone was shocked when they saw that her blood was black. That went doubly for Kieran. He wore a

worried expression and seemingly wanted to speak, yet he was afraid that he would break Jared’s

concentration.

“What’s going on here, Mr. Chance?” Walter was also baffled, since it made no sense that an ordinary

person would have black blood.

“This is a symptom of poisoning. From the look of things, that’s the cause of her mental disorder, leading

to her being of unsound mind,” Jared explained.

“Poisoning?” Walter was startled. Turning to Kieran, he queried, “What did your wife eat before she

started acting up, Kieran? How did she get poisoned?”

With a frown marring his countenance, Kieran mulled it over before shaking his head. “She didn’t eat

anything. She just had a simple meal after returning from the cemetery. I ate the same thing as well, so

why am I fine?”

Walter didn’t know what to say to that, so he shifted his gaze to Jared.

“Recall carefully whether your wife ate or drank anything after going to the cemetery, including wild fruits

and herbs. Or did she touch anything at all?” Jared questioned Kieran solemnly.

“N-No, she didn’t touch anything.”

Despite Kieran’s denial, he averted his gaze when answering and dared not look the man in the eye.

Noticing his shifty expression, Jared knew that he was definitely lying.

Since the man wasn’t willing to speak the truth, he couldn’t do anything to help despite sympathizing with

them.

“In that case, please accept my apologies. This is beyond my capabilities.”

He put the silver needles away and got ready to leave.

At that turn of events, Kieran started panicking. Meanwhile, Walter could also tell that Kieran was

seemingly hiding something, so he snapped, “Kieran, I got Mr. Chance here to treat your wife, yet you’re

unwilling to be candid with us? Do you want your wife to die?”

Kieran had a conflicted look on his face while he stared at his wife on the bed. At long last, he gritted his

teeth and admitted, “We indeed found something at the cemetery, and my wife brought it home.”
