Chapter 1290 Investigation
To avoid alerting anyone unnecessarily, Salvador did not say that he was trying to find the poison in the milk. Instead, he acted concerned about how everyone was doing there. He told them that if there was anything that they were not used to, they should bring it up to him.
His actions won the favor of the contestants, who thought that the Mills were very hospitable.
Salvador checked every room, but could not find any problems with them. He reported the results of the investigation to Cornelius.
“Where else haven’t you searched in the Mill Residence?” asked Cornelius after mulling over it.
“Other than your and Mr. Mill’s room, there’s only Ms. Queenie’s room left,” replied Salvador.
Since Cornelius and his father would definitely not harm Arielle, the only suspect was Queenie.
He took a deep breath, not believing that his sister would do something so vicious.
“Salvador, pass this medicine to Queenie and tell her that I’ve specially prescribed this to her. Tell her to put it on her leg for an hour once in the morning and once at night.” Cornelius clenched his fists. “If you find something weird, don’t cover up for her.”
He knew that Salvador had always doted on him and Queenie like they were his children. If Queenie was the culprit who sabotaged Arielle, he was afraid that Salvador would feel sorry for Queenie and cover up for her.
Salvador nodded, knowing the severity of this issue. If Queenie was really the culprit, he definitely would not side with evil and protect her.
Holding the medicine, Salvador knocked on Queenie’s door. Donovan opened the door and invited him in.
Queenie stared at Salvador in confusion when he entered. After all, he rarely entered their rooms.
“Ms. Queenie, Mr. Cornelius has specially prepared this medicine for you. He says that you should apply it once in the morning and once at night.” Ignoring Queenie’s puzzled stare, Salvador placed the medicine on a table nearby.
When Queenie heard that Cornelius had prepared the medicine for her leg, she glanced down at her legs. “Thank Cor for me, Salvador.”
After seeking help from so many experts, her legs still could not be cured. Although she had already given up, Cornelius was still trying so hard for her sake. Tears welled up in her eyes as gratitude toward Cornelius filled Queenie.
“You don’t need to thank Mr. Cornelius. As long as he can cure your legs, he’ll be very happy,” said Salvador.
As he spoke, he kept observing the room and trying to see if there were any odd smells.
“I’ll definitely cooperate with Cor and make my legs better.” If there was a chance to stand up again, anyone would be willing to try.
Salvador’s heart ached when he saw how dejected Queenie looked. He walked forward to check on her legs. However, before he reached her, an almost indiscernible smell drifted into his nose, causing him to freeze. This smells the same as the poison that Mr. Cornelius asked me to check for.
“Salvador?”
Seeing how Salvador was rooted to his spot in a daze, Queenie called out to him.
Salvador immediately returned to his senses when he heard her. Pretending that he had not discovered anything, he explained with a smile, “I suddenly remembered that I haven’t done something that Mr. Cornelius asked me to do. I have to attend to it now. Do remember to put the medicine on your legs.”
Before Queenie could react, he spun around and left. Donovan had left when he opened the door for Salvador. When he returned, Salvador was already gone.
“Mr. Cornelius, there’s the smell of that medicine in Ms. Queenie’s room.” Salvador did not dare to conceal the information. After leaving Queenie’s room, he went straight to Cornelius and told him what he had discovered.
