After Joseph returned to the bedroom, he knelt on the floor heavily. The sweat dripped down his
forehead.
How could this be?
He abruptly ran to the bookshelf and took out the ancient books from the Harper Town. He searched in
it bit by bit, being afraid that he would miss something. Unfortunately, he had read through it from cover
to cover, but there was no relevant method to cure Samuel.
Samuel was clearly poisoned!
He was not poisoned recently. Instead, someone had been poisoning him for a long time.
But how?
Daddy had been healthy. Moreover, if he was poisoned, even by a chronic poison, it was impossible
that nobody noticed it.
For so many years, Samuel had Blair by his side. It was impossible that Blair had been unaware the
poison, so why didn't Blair notice?
Moreover, he had only taken Samuel's pulse just now, but he was terrified.
This poison had probably penetrated his internal organs.
How should he tell mommy that?
How dare he tell her?
Now he didn't even know what poison it was. What should he do?
Joseph was completely at a loss.
In the past, when he encountered a trouble like this, he would call Morgan immediately. But now, could
he?
Morgan couldn't tell if she was an enemy or a friend now. What if she used this opportunity to hurt the
Green family, his daddy, and mommy?
Joseph was in a mess.
Nicole was somewhat aware of what was happening.
Samuel's ashen face was deathly pale. It could not simply be caused by neuralgia.
Moreover, his body was extremely cold. Even though the air conditioning in the room was turned on to
30 degrees, which made her sweat profusely, there was still a trace of white frost in Samuel's breath.
Yes.
White frost.
It was like the steam of people's breath in the outdoor winter.
Even if she didn't study medicine, she knew that this was not normal.
Moreover, Samuel seemed to be tormented by some nightmare, and he frowned tightly. It was as if he
was suffering from a huge pain, but he couldn't break free from it.
"Samuel, Samuel! Can you hear me? I'm Nicole, wake up."
Nicole cried out anxiously, but the person lying on the bed seemed to be trapped in another world,
unable to break free from those restraints no matter how.
Samuel seemed to have heard Nicole's voice. He tried to open his eyes and break through these
nightmares, but he couldn't do it.
His vision were filled with corpses and flowing blood. The smell of blood permeated everywhere. Piles
of corpses presented him a cruelest scene.
Only at that moment did he clearly understand what slaughter was and what extinction was.
Even pregnant women were assassinated. Even he who had experienced blood and death was
shocked and frightened by the bloody scene.
The disgusting smell of blood was everywhere in the air.
Suddenly, someone gave the order to set the fire. All of the corpses were lit up overnight.
An unpleasant smell filled his nose.
He wanted to do something, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as
these corpses burned into ashes. Then, the wind blew the gray ashes into the sky. It was as if ghosts
were roaring and crying by one's ears, scaring him to tremble with fear.
The fire burned for three days and nights before all the corpses were into ashes.
Someone planted flowers on them.
Time flew by. A few years later, the flowers and plants there grew very lush. The bright red and emerald
green plants also indicated that there had been piling corpses beneath.
Samuel felt suffocated.
Among the people who had been slaughtered, there seemed to be his close kin. He could barely
withstand the piercing pain. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was about to faint when he
heard someone sighing, "Do you feel the hatred? The complaints? They were your clansman. They
were slaughtered in one day. Everyone! How can you lead such a cool and comfortable life without
mercy? How? Did you forget it? You have the blood of the Harpers. Did you really forget it? Did you? "
The repeated interrogations were like curses haunting him. He was unable to shake them off, as if they
were shadows following him.
Nicole saw that Samuel's entire body was twitching violently. Just as she was about to say something
to help him out of his nightmare, she saw a stream of tears from his eyes. She was shocked.
What kind of person was Samuel?
He rarely cried because of his powerful mind and strength.
Now, she didn't know what he had experienced in his coma, but he cried.
It really scared Nicole. She looked at Samuel blankly and didn't know what to do.
Joseph was still hesitating, wondering if he should call Morgan.
Morgan was a genius at using poison. Moreover, she was also a member of the Harper Town, so she
researched much deeper in this ancient book than a child like him did. But could he really leave
Samuel's life at Morgan's mercy?
Obviously, Morgan didn't come to the Seapolis City for him. So what did she come for?
Joseph did not know, but he could not make up his mind.
He stretched out to take out the medicine for neuralgia, and then went to Nicole's room.
When Nicole saw Joseph return grim-faced, her heart sank.
"Joseph, you..."
"Mommy, I have something to tell you, but don't be too worried, okay?"
Joseph closed the door and looked at Nicole with a serious expression.
Even though she had some guesses in her heart, Nicole's heart still thumped.
"Tell me."
Joseph hesitated before speaking.
"It's not as simple as a neuralgia attack for daddy. He seemed to be poisoned."
As soon as she heard the news, Nicole's expression immediately changed.
"Poisoned? How is that possible? It's impossible for him to be poisoned with neuralgia!"
"This is also what I can't understand. Daddy and Uncle Blair have always been together. If he is not
well, Uncle Blair should know first, but he doesn't."
Nicole hesitated at Joseph's words.
"Do you suspect Blair?"
"No, Uncle Blair and daddy are like brothers. He won't ignore daddy's illness. That's why I'm curious.
How could daddy be poisoned? And daddy doesn't seem to be poisoned recently. Mommy, I have only
studied medicine for a short time, so I'm afraid that I can't to see it clearly. I'm wondering if we should
invite Uncle Blair to take a look."
Joseph's words made Nicole nervous again.
"Just speak whatever in your mind. We're family. There's no need to hide it. Besides, if Blair could have
recognized the poison, he wouldn't have let Samuel be like this."
Nicole looked at Joseph calmly, but Joseph knew that mommy recognized his overtones.
Joseph took a deep breath and asked, "Mommy, are you and daddy looking for my Master recently?"
Nicole was somewhat surprised at his words.
"Yes."
Sometimes, she knew that she couldn't consider Joseph and the other two kids as innocent children.
Laurel used to say that Joseph was like Vincent, whose IQ and EQ were not comparable to Samuel, so
that he might be a mediocre person. But now, hearing Joseph's words, Nicole was suspicious of her
words.
Was Vincent mediocre?
They were both posterity of the Green family. How could one of them have the IQ of 210 while the other
has a mediocre IQ with the same gene?
Vincent might intentionally hide his talents.
Whether it was for self-preservation or for other reasons, Nicole was no longer able to investigate.
However, she was very certain about Joseph's IQ.
This child was definitely not mediocre.
Joseph didn't expect that Nicole would answer so straightforwardly. He couldn't help but be stunned for
a moment, and then he asked with confusion, "May I ask what my Master did that you and daddy pay
so much attention to her?"
"She is a subordinate of the king of Country F. She was ordered to kill my Aunt Sally."
Nicole didn't keep the secret from him.
She had planned not to tell Joseph because she didn't want this child to suffer too much, but since
Joseph asked, Nicole realized that he had knew something.
Rather than waiting for others to use this to provoke the relationship between Joseph and the family in
the future, it would be better to tell Joseph everything now so that he could understand the relationship
and had a choice and experience.
She thought that she should protect him to grow up carefree, but the situation in the Green family was
too complicated. It was too much to hope to keep the children's innocence during their growth.
A trace of helplessness and sorrow flashed through Nicole's heart.
Joseph did not expect this answer, so he was stunned again.
'Master wants to kill mommy's aunt?'
He knew the relationship between Sally and Nicole. Although Nicole usually pretended not to care,
Joseph knew that she valued kinship the most.
In that case, Master was standing on the opposite side of them.
In that case, the idea of inviting Morgan to treat daddy was impossible.
Joseph felt uncomfortable and suffered.
If Morgan couldn't come, who else in this world could treat Daddy?
This effect of the poison came too swiftly. It probably wouldn't be long before it took daddy's life.
Nicole saw Joseph's anxiety. Thinking of his asking about Morgan, she was somewhat aware of his
intention.
"Do you want Morgan to treat your daddy?"
Although this was a question, her tone was indeed certain.
Joseph could not tell whether Nicole was complaining or questioning. For a while, he was a little
uneasy and flustered.
"Mommy, I'm not, I..."
His small face was a little pale.
Seeing Joseph like this, Nicole held his hand and whispered, "I understand that all your plans are good
for your daddy. Tell me the reason why you want to invite Morgan."
"I can't see what the poison is and when daddy was poisoned. I can only see that the poison has begun
to penetrate his internal organs. If it's not cured soon, I'm afraid..."
Joseph did not say the rest, but Nicole's expression changed.
'His days are numbered?'
The simple four words, however, seemed to burden heavily on Nicole's mind.
Her entire body trembled, and she fell into a chair in panic. Her eyes were glistening with tears, but she
forced them back.
