Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 573

As soon as the two women exited, Cherise and her group stepped into the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed tightly, Hank remarked, “That Lydia, she has a strong smell of medicine on her. It seems like she’s been hurt quite badly, right? Ms. Leach, you must have smelled it too, right?”

Cherise nodded, “There’s a strong scent of realgar and trichosanthes root, mixed with plenty of turmeric, angelica dahurica, atractylodes, phellodendron, and safflower.

“If I’m not mistaken, she has large areas of bruises from being beaten, more specifically, from being whipped. For such injuries, doctors usually recommend applying ointments made from these herbs.”

As soon as Cherise finished speaking, Edmund exclaimed excitedly, “I told you Ms. Leach is amazing. She’s truly remarkable, even identifying the ingredients in the ointment on her body.

“You’re absolutely right. I know Lydia is the daughter of Mr. Walton, but in Betrico Hospital, we’ve seen so many big shots that we’re not easily surprised.

“When she was brought in by ambulance four days ago, she was indeed covered in bruises, with some areas even torn open. Her attending physician reported to me that the injuries were clearly from a whipping, with dozens of marks.

“Who exactly did it is not within the scope of our hospital’s concern. After all, she’s from the Walton family, and these matters are none of our business.

“However, I did learn that her medical bills were paid by a good friend of Mr. Chivers, and he was also the one who called the ambulance.”

Morris responded with a knowing “Oh,” his tone definitive and without a hint of doubt. “It was Truman.”

“Exactly.” Edmund didn’t hold back any information.
