Mango's heart couldn't help but skip a beat when she heard Nathaniel's question.

"Is there really something wrong with me?"

Harris looked at them and whispered, "Yes, your blood is a little abnormal. Bettany is an expert in this area. Take a look."

Bettany took the data and glanced at it. She quickly exchanged a look with Nathaniel and whispered, "I need to channel out her blood as soon as possible. This thing is contagious." "What is it?"

Mango was shocked.

Nathaniel's face turned pale.

"What should we do? I'll leave it to you. Just tell me what you need."

Bettany nodded quickly.

However, Mango said, "That woman went to the hospital. What about the ambulance and nurses?"

"I'll go!"

Harris was a doctor, so he naturally knew that the situation was urgent now.

"You can't. If it's contagious, you can't guarantee that you're not infected. Call Carlson and let him deal with it. Bettany, you'd better clear out the toxins from Mango." "All right."

Bettany was in a hurry.

Mango wanted to say something, but she felt a prick on her wrist and a stream of dark red blood flowed out.

At this moment, Mango and Harris were shocked.

"No, if your wife is infected, what about you?"

Harris looked at Nathaniel and asked.

Bettany immediately said, "He has Golden Lancehead Venom in his blood, so he won't be affected by any type of poison." Harris suddenly had some admiration for Nathaniel.

"This is so f*cking awesome. You're even immune to this thing. I think you're the only person with this in the world."

"No. Mr. Abbott also has Golden Lancehead Venom in his body."

Bettany's words reminded Nathaniel of something.

He quickly called Maverick.

"There's something I need your help with."

"Alright."

Maverick was very busy recently. Not only did he have to deal with the Ye family's company, but he also had to take care of Lilian. At present, Carlson was also in the Ye's Mansion, so he had to arrange for some people to monitor it. When he received a call from Nathaniel now, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Nathaniel had no time to chit-chat.

"Can you help me investigate the type of venoms that are in Ocean City?"

"What did you just say?"

Maverick was stunned.

Venoms shouldn't be in this city, nor would it suddenly appear.

"What the hell is going on?"

Nathaniel then told him about what happend when he and Mango went to the Grey family's residence.

Maverick frowned when he heard that.

"The woman said that Abby didn't go back for half a month, and her cough started half a month ago. Does it mean that Abby's passed on the poison to her?"

Nathaniel and Mango were both stunned by his words.

How could they ignore such an important message?

Nathaniel was only paying attention to Mango at that time, and he did not focus on what Maverick had said. Mango felt that the woman was Abby's mother, so she did not think too much about it. Now that Maverick had asked this question, the two of them suddenly thought of something.

"It's reasonable to say that the poison can't be spread in the air unless they have been in contact with each other. Mango touched the woman's clothes, and she couldn't keep her distance since the woman was Abby's mother. Abby is a servant of the Grey family, but there is no one in the Grey family now. This is strange."

Maverick couldn't sit still anymore after he heard Nathaniel's words.

"Did anyone else get in touch with that woman?"

"The people in the ambulance! The ambulance may have just arrived, and we can't let them drive back!"

Nathaniel inferred according to the time.

"I'll be right there."

Maverick hung up the phone and Nathaniel was still tense.

This matter was simply too strange.

There were not many people who knew how to create poisons. Now that Madeline was dead while Maverick and Nathaniel were blood brothers, they would definitely not do this. Atlas was also dead and Bettany was also with them. Was there anyone else who could brew poison?

Mango suddenly thought of Henry.

"Where's Henry? When we went to Angolla, he was allowed to recover after he was injured. We have been held back for almost a year because of other matters. Where is Henry now?"

She didn't want to suspect Henry, but she had no choice but to investigate the latter.

Nathaniel called Merle and asked about Henry's whereabouts, and Merle quickly sent a message.

During this period of time, Henry had been helping Merle deal with things in the Dark Night Empire after he recovered from his injury.

After Henry was cancelled out as a suspect, all of them fell into silence.

There were so many possible culprits, so who was the person responsible for this and why did they target the Grey family?

Was it because of the Grey family's sea routes?

Nathaniel remembered that someone wanted to target the Grey family before, but they managed to stop the culprits. Unexpectedly, this thing happened again.

When Mango thought of Walter's call, she couldn't help but say, "Could something have happened to Deborah? Otherwise, Walter wouldn't have called me. Besides, it's weird that his phone signal was blocked."

Nathaniel's face darkened.

"Bettany, how long will this take?"

He could not help but ask when he saw the blood on Mango's wrist gradually turn bright red.

After she lost so much blood, she needed more time to recuperate again.

Bettany cut off the medicine and quickly bandaged Mango's wrist. Then, she said, "Since Madam hasn't been in contact with the woman for a long time, so she should be fine."

"Go to the Grey family's mansion and wait for my brother. See if you can help him, I'll arrange something."

Bettany did not dare to dawdle after she heard Nathaniel's instruction. She quickly turned around, only to be held back by Mango.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel looked at Mango and Bettany also looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Mango stared at Bettany and asked word by word,

"Bettany, you can trust me, right?" "Mrs. Ye, what do you mean?"

Bettany was a little surprised, but more because of Nathaniel's sharp gaze and she could not bear it.

Mango didn't let go as she continued, "I wanted to ask you something for a long time, but I didn't have the time to do so. Why don't we talk about it now? If we're really friends, we'll only become closer in the future. From now on, I don't want to suspect you anymore. However, if your answer makes me unhappy, I won't let you off no matter what happens today."

Bettany paused and Nathaniel already knew what Mango was going to ask.

Harris saw that it seemed to be a family matter. He wanted to avoid it, but the wine cellar had limited space. He was worried that he be in contact with Carlson if he went out, so he could not help but feel a little embarrassed.

Mango glanced at him and said faintly, "Doctor White, you don't have to avoid it. It's not a secret."

After that, she looked at Bettany and said word by word, "I remember that you told my mother and my grandfather about my mother's cancer. But the results show that my mother had been poisoned. How do you explain this?"

This matter had been in Mango's heart for a long time. She had wanted to ask Bettany about it when she had just returned. However, she was still in her confinement period at that time, so she was afraid that she wouldn't have the strength to resist if Bettany wanted to do something to her. Now that Nathaniel and Harris were here, Mango felt that it was the right time to ask.

Bettany paused for a moment before she looked at Mango and said, "I was the one who poisoned her."

"What did you say?"

Mango grabbed Bettany's neck and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Bettany, who the hell are you working for?"

Bettany was being suffocated by Mango, but she didn't struggle at all.

"I'm working for Mr. Ye and I come from Longford County. No matter what happens, I can't change my identity and I have no choice but to poison Queena."

"Mango!"

Nathaniel knew Mango's feelings for Queena. Now that Mango was about to strangle Bettany to death, he had no choice but to stop her.

"Let's listen to what she's going to say first."

Mango was very agitated, but she knew that Nathaniel was right.

She released Bettany and said coldly, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise..."

"Mrs. Ye, I really have no choice."

Bettany coughed twice and said, "Queena didn't have cancer and she was poisoned. However, she had lost her will to live and she didn't think of fighting back. This is the worst situation for patients. When Mr. Xiao found me, the poison had already entered her bloodstream and it was about to enter her heart. The poison was very potent and strange, and I couldn't find an antidote. I wanted to extract her blood to analyze it and slowly find an antidote, but Queena fainted when Lawrence suddenly went to her place. When I checked again, I found that the poison was going to spread to her heart and lungs. No one could save her once the poison entered her heart, so I had to take a risk by injecting a different type of poison into her body. That was the only way to stop the spread of the poison. Although the two kinds of poison could cancel each other out, the side effects were very severe. The main effect was that it would cause unbearable pain to the patient."

When it came to this, Bettany sighed and said, "I am also a woman. When I knew Queena's situation, I was hesitant to tell her the truth.

Besides, Andrea was with her at that time. Although she didn't like Andrea very much, Andrea was eager to see her mother. I thought this might arouse Queena's desire to live so I said that she had cancer. As for why I didn't tell Mr. Xiao, it was because I didn't know if I could detoxify her. If I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to save Queena's life even if I told him the truth. It's better to say that it's cancer and give them a trace of hope."

Mango didn't expect to hear such an explanation.

"Do you mean that Lawrence poisoned my mother?"

"I'm not sure, but Lawrence does have some poisons. I've seen them, but none of them is in Queena's body. Her poison is particularly hard to detoxify and I can't find its composition."

This was also the reason why Bettany had never explained it.

Mango's face suddenly sank.

"Lawrence! He shouldn't have had such an easy death!"

He poisoned the woman that he said he loved. How could he say that he loved her?! It was an insult!

Mango's chest started to hurt from anger, so Nathaniel pulled her into his embrace and whispered, "We can slowly investigate this matter but the Grey family's matter is the most important thing right now."
