Divorce Anxiety novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

The Yoeger residence was quieter than Kathleen had expected.

It seemed that no one from the Yoeger family had predicted that someone would intrude into their residence.

Even so, it was a good thing for her, for she could relax a little.

Kathleen managed to enter the residence easily.

She had ordered someone to map out the Yoeger residence’s building plan and mark which room Frances was sleeping in.

Because Frances had trouble walking, she was staying in the room on the first floor for convenience.

Kathleen found Frances’ room and gently opened the door.

There was only one nightlight turned on, and the room was still kind of dark.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Kathleen quietly walked into the room and closed the door.

In small, quiet footsteps, she sneaked over to Frances’ bed.

Kathleen took out a candle that was meant to lull a person to sleep. She was about to light it when she heard Frances speak. “Who are you?”

Kathleen paused in shock.

She put down the candle and looked at Frances. “I..”

“Do what you want,” Frances said as she closed her eyes.

Kathleen was at a loss for words.

“Old. Mrs. Yoeger, I’m Kathleen.” She bent down.

Frances opened her eyes once more to take a good look at Kathleen. “Oh, you’re that woman from the Macari family?”

“I’m Samuel’s ex-wife,” Kathleen answered. “But not anymore.”

Frances looked her dead in the eye. “A man who likes Nicolette is not a good person. I recommend you to give up as soon as possible.”

Kathleen was stunned momentarily. “Is it true that you are becoming senile, Old Mrs. Yoeger?”

“Who said that? They’re the ones becoming senile” Frances sald harshly “Walt, who are you?”

Once again, Kathleen was lendered speechless.

forget H. There must be something wrong with Old Mrs. Yoeger if stie’s acung this way.

Kathleen til the candle

Wher Fruncus dozeld ont, Kathleen took out a silver needle and inserted it into Frances’s right hand. She then took an out when a shon white.

The end of the silver needle had turned black.

It seems that Old Mrs. Yoeger is really poisoned. It’s not because of Alzheimer’s disease.

Kathleen took out more silver needles and started treating Frances

After thirty minutes, she took out all of the needles and found that all of them had turned black

Kathleen furrowed her eyebrows.

Judging from the needles, Kathleen thought that Frances had been poisoned for more than a few days.

Moreover, it was a chronic poison.

Whoever that did this was very smart.

If that person had used a type of poison that would take effect quickly, it would be easy for others to diagnose that Frances had been poisoned

However, since they had used a slow, chronic poison, it would be harder to detect

It was fortunate that Kathleen thought that something was wrong and came to the Yoeger residence

Or else

Besides, Kathleen knew that Vanessa would stop them from coming to visit Frances

If she hadn’t come that night, she probably would have never gotten the chance to see Frances anymore

Kathleen looked down at Frances’ pale face while her eyes teared up.

Frances probably never expected that her own biological daughter would poison her.

After a while, Kathleen was about to leave when she heard a sound from outside the door.

“Where have you been?”

Kathleen had just entered the ward when she saw Charles standing by the bed with his arms crossed He was staring at her coldly.

Kathleen was taken aback.

He noticed her outfit and asked in a low voice. “Did you go to the Yoeger residence?”

She nodded, “I just wanted to examine Old Mrs. Yoeger’s condition.”

“Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” her brother questioned solemnly.

“How would we know the truth If we don’t do anything?” Kathleen retorted grimly “Old Mrs. Yoeger has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She can’t remember anything anymore. Vanessa Is now the head of the Yoeger family. If we want to find out about Mom’s past, we can’t trust Vanessa. Therefore, Old Mrs. Yoeger must be awake and clear-headed. Otherwise, there won’t be anyone who would acknowledge our identily”

Charles’s expression darkened. “I should be the one investigating it. You’re only supposed to take care of yourself

That’s my parents, too, Charles I can’t just stand by and watch Moreover, Old Mrs. Yoeger is our granuly There’s no way I can sit idly and do nothing about it.” Kathleen replied.

He pursed his lips in silence

‘Don’t worry, Charles No one saw me I was very careful’ she added

“It doesn’t matter if you’re careful. That place is the lion’s den,” he said as he rubbed his temples. “What did you find out?”

“Old Mrs. Yoeger is poisoned. She doesn’t have Alzheimer’s. The one who poisoned her is Vanessa.”

“Do you have any proof?” he asked gravely.

“The evidence that I have is still not enough. I’m planning on going there again tomorrow night and installing an audio bug in Old Mrs. Yoeger’s room,” Kathleen replied.

An audio bug? Charles frowned. “I’ll go instead.”

“No,” she instantly rejected. “I’ve been there once. I’m more familiar with the place than you are. You can follow me and wait for me outside.”

“We’ll go in together.” He stared at her.

“It’ll be easier for us to be spotted if there are two of us. Please trust me this one time, Charles. I’ll be fine.” Kathleen held her ground.

He remained silent.

“I also have to treat Old Mrs. Yoeger. I need to go back,” Kathleen explained. “She is severely poisoned. If I don’t help her, her life might be in danger.”
