Chapter: 1055
Norah silently assessed Nyla without a word.
Marlin scrutinized the Supernatural Doctor from behind. Although the doctor was a man, his silhouette seemed oddly familiar to Marlin, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
After a thorough examination, Norah confirmed her suspicions.
"There's an issue with Mrs. Boyd's brain; it's compressing her cranial nerves."
Manley nodded and said, “Yes, that's what other experts and professors have said as well."
Nyla hadn't undergone surgery yet because the CT scan couldn't show any image of her brain, leaving them clueless about what was wrong.
Yolande revealed, "Over the past five years, my mom underwent two craniotomy surgeries, but unfortunately, they were not successful."
Despite trying various treatments, none were effective in improving Nyla's condition. She remained in a vegetative state, confined to the bed, occasionally regaining consciousness.
Norah mentioned, “Apart from her brain condition, there's another factor contributing to why your mother hasn't regained consciousness.".
After a moment of silence, Yolande inquired with concern, "What is it?"
Norah disclosed, "She has been poisoned."
Adela, standing by the door quietly, clutched her hands tightly, her eyes reflecting horror and worry.
Even without a formal examination, the doctor could discern that Nyla had been poisoned just by observing her? The entire Boyd family was taken aback.
Hans reasoned, “The meals at home are meticulously prepared by professional chefs. The diet is well-balanced, and ingredients are carefully chosen. It's unlikely that my mom was poisoned through food."
Norah responded calmly without emotional sway, “It's not food-related.
It's about the medication she had been taking."
Marlin instructed in a composed tone, “Bring all my mother's medications."
Adela acknowledged, "Understood. I'll get it done."
Manley inquired cautiously, "Doctor, what are the symptoms of poisoning, and how severe is it?"
Norah elaborated, “The poison isn't potent and is hard to detect. It induces a coma and gradually deteriorates the patient's body, leading to eventual death. From the time of poisoning to death, it typically takes about eight years."
Norah's revelation startled the Boyds. Considering Nyla had been bedridden for five years, this implied she had only three years left to Live.
Norah clarified, "Only a handful of individuals worldwide are familiar with this poison, and regular physicians often fail to identify it."
Norah was familiar with this poison from a previous encounter during her mission abroad. She had compelled the individual responsible for poisoning a patient to divulge information about this specific toxin.
This poison had no color or taste, easily dissolving in water and allowing for silent ingestion.
