The Bound Between Us

Chapter 566

In the quaint town of Willow Creek, Dr. James was determined to uncover the mystery behind Tavon's recent stroke. After two thorough examinations, James finally pinpointed the cause: poisoning. Herman glanced at the lab report, eyebrows knitted in concern. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely," James confirmed. "It's a common toxin but one of the hardest to detect. It requires prolonged exposure in just the right dosage to cause a stroke."

"What kind of poison are we dealing with?" Herman asked.

"Cyanide."

"That's not something you just stumble upon. A little digging should lead us to the source."

James shook his head. "If you know even a little about it, you can extract it yourself. Apple seeds, for instance. Should I give Thomas a heads-up?"

Herman thought for a moment and then said, "You mentioned it requires long-term exposure. The dosage must be carefully controlled too, right? Too much and it would kill outright, not just cause a stroke." "Exactly, it's a delicate balance," James replied. "Someone without the know-how would likely mess it up."
