“She had plastic surgery too, didn’t she? She’s trying to look like you.” Nigel disliked her even more.
Anastasia nodded. Any mention of Hayley was like a heavy rock upon her heart.
By the time Anastasia and Nigel arrived at the hospital, Harriet had been in the emergency unit for more than ten minutes.
Anastasia saw Elliot standing in the corridor, his expression tense and his eyes filled with worry. At the side, Brenda also leaned against her husband with her fists clenched tightly.
“Dad, Mom, did the doctor say anything?”
“No, not yet.” Jonathan shook his head.
Anastasia walked over to Elliot. She wanted to comfort him, but she didn’t know what to say. Harriet didn’t look too good just now. What would he do if something happened to Harriet?
“I’m fine,” said Elliot, comforting her instead.
Anastasia patted him on the shoulder and accompanied him as they waited for the results.
Suddenly, the door opened, and the doctor emerged while asking, “Young Master Elliot, we found Old Madam Presgrave’s heartbeat unusual just now, and it seemed as though she had taken the wrong medication. Are you sure that she had taken heart pills that are easy on her?”
“What’s the situation with my grandma?”
“We cleansed her stomach just now, and we’re trying to lower her blood pressure. However, this may be an arduous experience for her.”
Hearing that, everyone present felt their heart ache for her. Anastasia noticed Elliot’s tightly-clenched fists, and she pitied him as well.
“We’ll do our best so that she can regain consciousness. Young Master Elliot, can you bring me the pills Old Madam Presgrave usually takes at home? I want to examine them.”
Elliot nodded. When the doctor closed the door again, Elliot called up the housekeeper and asked her to deliver the medicine.
“Mom is at an old age now, but she still has to suffer like this. I feel so sorry for her,” Brenda said as she clutched at her chest.
“Even normal people can’t bear all this suffering. Was there something wrong with the medication?” Jonathan frowned.
Anastasia intuitively thought of someone. Hayley had appeared at the Presgrave Residence today, and she was an evil and scheming woman. Could she be involved in this?
Nonetheless, Anastasia kept this guess to herself. After all, she couldn’t say anything without proof.
After more than two hours in the emergency unit, Harriet was moved to the ward. Within half a day, she seemed to have gained a few more years, and she looked considerably weaker.
Just then, the housekeeper had also brought the medication, which was promptly sent to the doctor for examination.
Anastasia looked at the time and found that it was almost 4.00PM. She called up her father and asked him to take her son back to her home and stay the night there, and she would go back as soon as Harriet woke up.
Francis told her not to worry, and she could wait as long as she wanted at the hospital until Harriet regained consciousness.
Meanwhile, Elliot stationed himself in the doctor’s office as he watched the doctor study every bottle of medicine. He wanted to know the main reason his grandmother had fainted.
Just as the doctor poured out a bottle of pills, he looked at the shape and size of the pills on the paper, and he could immediately spot the problem.
“This isn’t heart medication. Has there been a mix-up?”
The housekeeper, who was standing at the side, also came closer to look. She exclaimed, “When did the pills get so large? Even the marks don’t look like the pills Old Madam Presgrave usually takes.”
“I don’t think these are heart pills either. I’ll have someone run a thorough analysis to determine its ingredients.”
Elliot looked at the housekeeper. “Jodie, what’s going on?”
“I don’t know either, Young Master Elliot. The pills I gave Old Madam Presgrave yesterday were still the normal size, but how did they turn bigger today?” The housekeeper also had no idea what was going on.
“Someone probably swapped the contents.” With that, the doctor took another bottle and poured the pills onto a piece of paper to examine them. “These are sleeping pills, but there’s something wrong with them too. Even though they look more or less alike, these pills contain 6 times the contents of the pills I usually prescribe to Old Madam Presgrave. If she takes these pills, her life would be at risk.”
Elliot’s expression changed. It was obvious that someone had swapped his grandma’s pills, but who would do such a vicious thing?
The housekeeper was also shocked to the core. “Oh my goodness! Who’s trying to kill her? How dare they meddle with her usual medication!”
“You’d better find out as soon as possible.” The doctor looked at Elliot. “Young Master Elliot, with Old Madam Presgrave’s age, her medications must not have the slightest bit of error.”
Rage was already obvious on Elliot’s face, and there was a cold murderous look in his eyes.
Who dared to meddle with his grandma’s medication?
No matter who it was, when the culprit was uncovered, he would make them pay dearly.
“Fortunately, she has quite a strong resistance to medicine, and it caused such a reaction. This is how we were able to determine early on that someone had meddled with her medication.”
“Young Master Elliot, I really can’t figure out who would do such a thing. All the servants in the Presgrave Residence love and respect Old Madam Presgrave. She’s usually very caring toward us, and we are all grateful to her. Who would plot against her?”
“When did you think the pills were swapped? Were the pills normal yesterday?”
The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, the pills were still normal yesterday, and they were fine this morning. The pills only seemed different this afternoon.”
The housekeeper was only a little more than 40 years old. She had no problems with her eyesight, and her memory was quite decent as well.
If none of the servants in the Presgrave Residence would do such a thing, then someone outside of the house might have done it. Even though many relatives and friends visited today, they were all people the Pregraves were on good terms with.
“Could it be Miss Seymour? She might hate you for not letting her dine in the main hall, and that may be why she plotted against Old Madam Presgrave,” the housekeeper reminded.
