Chapter: 1299

The contaminated IV bottle was promptly taken for analysis.

“The timely intervention prevented the liquid from entering her system, so she remains unharmed," the doctor confirmed.

Soon after, the lab results were in.

"The white filaments are undissolved arsenic. Someone had injected an arsenic solution into the IV bottle."

In simple terms, it was an attempt on Norah's life.

Sean's expression darkened as he pondered the gravity of the situation. On her very first day in the hospital, Norah had narrowly escaped what appeared to be another assassination attempt.

It was clear that many were watching Norah, intent on ending her life.

Despite the continuous threats, Norah's luck shone through; she managed to dodge each attempt on her life.

The hospital recognized its role in the lapse of security and promised a thorough investigation to identify the impostor and provide Sean with a full explanation.

However, Sean was not prepared to let the matter rest there. The bodyguards and surveillance systems in place were key to identifying the impostor.

Disinterested in the hospital management's assurances, Sean focused solely on Norah's immediate safety.

Realizing that two bodyguards were insufficient, he instructed Phillip to arrange for two additional bodyguards and two caregivers, ensuring Norah's protection at all times, even in his absence.

Sean's influence extended even to Silverdale. By dawn, his network had pinpointed a suspect: Dolores.

Sean recalled Dolores vividly.

She had been Marlin's date at a charity gala and had previously had a confrontation with Norah. Since returning to Glophia, Sean was out of the loop regarding any developments between Dolores and Marlin.

Without hesitation, he summoned Marlin and presented him with evidence of Dolores's recent actions.

Considering Dolores's association with Marlin, it seemed appropriate to let him address the situation.

Marlin's expression darkened immediately upon reading the document.

At its conclusion, there was a recent photo of Dolores.

In the image, her features appeared oddly mismatched. Her nose and mouth seemed as if they were attached haphazardly, yet her eyes remained beautiful.

The combination of her features was not harmonious but rather peculiar.

Still, she bore a slight resemblance to Norah.

Sean remembered reading that Dolores had undergone plastic surgery, resulting in a look akin to a mismatched patchwork.

The effect was unsettling.
