The doctor carried on, “Sure, the pomegranate juice was pure alright, but it was laced with a ton of
saffron syrup. That’s what caused the bleeding in the stomach. It’s all due to an overdose of saffron.”
“Saffron is a top shelf and very expensive spice. It’s good for the body in the right amounts. But if you
OD on it, you’re looking at vomiting bloody urine, heavy periods, acute poisoning internal bleeding, and
the like. Especially for pregnant women, it can cause miscarriages and infertility”
The room went silent after the doctor finished. Was there really something fishy about the pomegranate
juice?
Upon hearing the last bit, Theos face darkened, and his hand tightened into a fist. He had a gut feeling
someone was gunning for his wife and kid.
Patricia was dumbfounded. What was the doctor playing at? Was he just in it for the dough and not
doing his job?
“Doc, what the hell are you talking about? Saffron? In pomegranate juice? You must’ve gotten it all
mixed up Have another gander at the test results
Patricia was hinting at the doctor as she spoke, but the doctor wasn’t having it. ‘Ms. Howard, I havent
gotten anything mixed up. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the report yourself. It’s all there in
black and white’
With that, the doctor handed the report to Patricia.
Patricia was left speechless and staring at the doctor. How could he?
Before she could reach for the report, Balfour snatched it, his expression stern as he read it.
Xena, who was waiting for Ellinor to eat humble pie, now looked rather unsettled.
Balfour was pissed off and threw the report in Xenia’s face, his eyes were as cold as ice. “Xenia, you
specially prepared the pomegranate juice for Ellinor, didn’t you? A drink laced with saffron syrup for
pregnant Ellinor. What were you thinking?”
Xenia’s mind was racing as she looked at the scattered report in front of her
The evidence was right in front of her she couldn’t deny it, so she feigned surprise, How would I know
Ellinor was pregnant? She’s so young and thin, it doesnt show at all.” Balfour clenched his jaw, scoffing
“Even if you didn’t know she was pregnant, that gives you the right to poison the dink?”
Xenia already had her answer ready. She put on an innocent face and said, “Balfour, listen to me…
Yes, I did add some saffron syrup to the pomegranate juice, but I didn’t know it was poisonous If
someone used too much
I got the juice recipe off the internet, and it said adding some saffron would make it taste better and be
good for you!
I realized that Ms. Mendoza saved Dean’s life and is an important quest to our family Saffron is a very
precious ingredient, and I thought I’d add more saffron to thank Ms Mendoza
How was I to know that too much saffron would have such severe side effects? If I knew, I would never
let my son Bytan drink so much”
In fact, Xenia definitely knew about the side effects of saffron, but she didn’t fully understand them and
didn’t expect it would have such a serious impact on men.
Balfour was no fool, he raised an eyebrow sharply. “Oh? You found this recipe online? Where exactly?
Show me!
Xenia looked a bit uncomfortable Uh I deleted the tutorial after making the juice, I didn’t save it.”
Balfour narrowed his eyes, his tone ominous. “Then I guess you’ll have to search for it again. I want to
see which tutorial teaches people to add poisonous saffron syrup to juice!”
