Chapter 268

Susan was momentarily stunned and wanted to say something more.

But seeing Ben’s resolute demeanor, she sighed and said no more.

Whatever the consequences, she was ready to face them with Ben.

If the king and queen of the Tonico were really unreasonable, they could not sit still and wait for death.

Thinking of this, Susan naturally did not have a good impression of Alexander and Judith.

At that moment, a doctor hurried in.

“Mr. Landor, the test results are in,” he whispered to Ben. “There was something else mixed in with the nutrient

solution.”

Ben’s expression darkened, about to discuss the matter elsewhere.

But Susan stopped him.

“What happened, Ben?” Susan asked..

“It’s nothing, Susan. You should rest,” Ben replied.

Susan watched him quietly.

Ben felt a little helpless under her gaze. After a long time, he sighed and sat back down. “If you have something to say, just say it.”

The doctor hesitated, glancing at Susan, then said, “Mrs. Landor, the test results are back. The nutrient solution that the nurse at Appolis Hospital was about to administer to you had been tampered with. It contained an additive that, once introduced into your bloodstream, especially considering your recent blood donation, would have rapidly deteriorated your health. Given your weakened state, the chance of fatality was…”

The doctor paused and said, “Over ninety percent.”

Ben gripped Susan’s hand tightly.

If he had arrived a minute later, even if it was just a minute.

He might never see Susan again in his life.

Susan, however, remained calm.

It was ridiculous.

It seemed almost natural that her biological father would want her dead.

Susan reassured Ben and said, “Don’t worry. Nothing happened, did it?”

Ben didn’t respond, just held Susan’s hand tighter.

Susan held his hand.

But her grip was weak, relying on Ben’s strength to maintain the hold.

Susan looked at the doctor calmly. “Did the nurse say anything after the results were out?”

The doctor shook his head. “Mr. Landor instructed me to inform him first. I haven’t been updated on the nurse’s situation.‘
