Chapter 1289 Pursuing The Culprit
Arielle’s lips curved into a smile when she read Vinson’s message. After placing her phone down, she went into the bathroom and took a shower.
When she came out, there was a cup of warm milk on her bedside table. Placing the cup against her lips, she was about to drink it when she noticed something amiss.
Arielle sniffed the milk before taking a cotton bud from her bag and placing it inside the milk. Then, she placed the cotton bud into a container.
Half an hour later, she brought the results of the test and the cup of milk to Cornelius.
“Thank you, Ms. Moore, but I don’t drink milk.” When Cornelius saw Arielle walking over with a cup of milk, he thought that it was for him. He took the cup and thanked her profusely.
“What are you thinking about?” Arielle passed the results to him. “Look at this.”
Confused, Cornelius took the paper that Arielle had passed him. When he read the content, his expression changed drastically.
“This result is from the cup of milk. If I had drank this cup of milk unknowingly, you can imagine how I’ll end up, right?” Arielle sounded puzzled. Who did I provoke this time? Why is there someone constantly wanting to kill me?
“Ms. Moore, I’ll definitely give you an explanation about this,” promised Cornelius after taking a deep breath.
Someone has been trying to kill Arielle multiple times in the Mills’ territory. If she hadn’t been careful, murder would have happened on these grounds.
“I hope that we can quickly find the mastermind. It’s uncomfortable to keep living so fearfully.”
Actually, Arielle did not want to make things difficult for Cornelius. However, since this concerned her personal safety, she could not make herself act courteously to him.
Regardless, she knew that this probably did not have anything to do with him. After all, he did not know that someone would target her.
Cornelius felt guilty toward Arielle. She had only stayed at Silverbirch Hospital for three days, but her life had already been endangered twice.
“You should go and rest first. I’ll investigate this issue and give you an explanation as soon as I can,” promised Cornelius as he looked at Arielle apologetically.
Arielle nodded and returned to her room. Once she left, Cornelius immediately summoned his subordinates over to investigate the matter.
“Mr. Mill, we’ve already checked the surveillance cameras, but we found no clues,” reported Salvador as he stood beside Cornelius.
A solemn expression crossed Cornelius’ face. He figured that since the surveillance cameras did not reveal anything, the culprit definitely knew Silverbirch Hospital well.
Who is the one who kept attacking Arielle? First, it happened at Mount Blackcloud. Then, it happened at Silverbirch Hospital. Is there someone in the hospital who is secretly Arielle’s enemy?
But this doesn’t make sense. Other than the older ones, the people working for the Mills have been here for at least five years. How can they have a grudge against Arielle?
Could it be a contestant? But how would they know that Arielle will get the top score on the first day?
Cornelius had many questions in his mind, but he could not find any answers to them.
“Salvador, check every room. If any room has medicine similar to this, note it down directly.” Cornelius passed the test results to his butler, who immediately went to carry out his instructions.
Salvador had been working for Cornelius’ grandfather since young. His grandfather had always treated Salvador like his son instead of a mere servant.
When he was teaching Abraham medicine, he also taught Salvador. Although Salvador was not as talented as Abraham, he was not too bad either.
If he had left Silverbirch Hospital, his fate would definitely be different.
However, he was unwilling to leave the Mills out of gratitude. Instead, he was willing to stay with the Mills and take over his father’s role as the butler.
Following Cornelius’ instructions, Salvador began searching every room.
