Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 381 Eason was still holding Penny in his arms, motionless, Judith, overwhelmed with grief, cried so hard that she nearly collapsed.

Susan cried silently.

Ben couldn’t help but put his arms around her shoulders.

Despite Ben's efforts to call for a rescue helicopter when Penny was poisoned, only ten minutes had passed since her confession and subsequent death.

Even the helicopter hadn't arrived.

This poison... was indeed extremely terrifying.

“Mr. Landor?” The door swung open, and rescue workers rushed in.

Ben sighed. “It’s too late.” Penny’s heartbeat had ceased entirely.

Judith, still holding onto hope, pleaded, “Please, check on her.” Several doctors approached and, after a brief examination, shook their heads.

No signs of breathing or a heartbeat were detected.

They were outside the hospital.

Even if Penny was sent to the hospital immediately, it would take stime.

By that time, there was nothing they could do.

The doctor's arrival only confirmed the tragic reality that Penny had passed away.

Judith burst into tears again.

Eason managed to calm down. He said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, let the doctor... send Penny to the hospital first.” Judith nodded casually, but she kept holding Penny’s hand and refused to let go.

At the hospital.

Despite knowing the inevitability of the situation, the doctors exhaustively attempted various life-saving measures. However, they ultimately declared that there was no treatment available for Penny.

In just an hour, Judith had shed all her tears.

Babe, are you hungry? A ruthless CEO in the 44* FREE installed day, and a lovely husband at night! Dre Open Chapter 381 Despite her bloodshot eyes, she surprisingly managed to compose herself.

She took out the powder and handed it to Ben. “Do you have any way to test its composition?” Ben accepted it solemnly. “I'll arrange for someone to examine it.

“Okay. Thank you for that.” Judith looked at Susan again. I'm going back to the Tonico.” Susan said in a trembling voice, “Aunt Judith...” Judith looked at Susan with a trace of gentleness. “Silly girl, do you think I'm mad at you? Penny's issue has nothing to do with you. She has made up her mind to die. | want to return to Tonico because Alexander.... is in danger. If Penny was right, the people behind the scenes are likely to push her into the position of queen. That would only happen if something happens to me, Eason, and Alexander simultaneously, Penny is the chess piece they arranged forand Eason. What about Alexander? Is there someone around him like Penny? Are they planning to poison Alexander, too? Will he end up like Penny... and die in such a short... time?” As Judith spoke, her eyes turned red.

She held Susan’s hand tightly. “Although | don’t want to leave, Susan, | can’t let Alexander face such a dangerous situation alone. You have a good relationship with Ben, so you must understand, right?” Although Judith was still sad, she had obviously recovered her senses.

For a moment, Ben admired his mother-in-law a little.

Despite the heavy emotional blow, Judith swiftly regained composure, analyzed the situation, and made a decision.

Judith was not a simple woman.

“Susan,” Judith continued, “This matter is very urgent. I... | have to leave immediately. You and Ben, take care of yourselves. Penny's funeral, Ill have to trouble you.” Susan nodded despite the tears in her eyes.

Judith immediately showed a gratified smile.

The sday.

Judith and Eason returned to Tonico.

Ben and Susan went to see them off personally.

Susan looked at the departing plane with a complicated expression.

Too many things had happened on this day.

First, Ben told her that Penny was the one who plotted against her behind her back.

But before she could get angry, Penny had already died.

Chapter 1 Turning around, Alexander was also in danger. Without hesitation, Judith and Eason went to confront the threat alongside him.

What about her? But there was nothing she could do.

She was like a coward.

The next day, Susan prepared a funeral for Penny.

The funeral was simple and solemn.

The members of the Nicholas family reached out to the Tonico through a video call, tears streaming down their faces.

Susan held back her tears.

Because she knew that if she cried too, it would only intensify the emotions of the people on the other side of the video.

After the funeral.

Susan gazed at the Nicholas family members on the other side of the video and whispered, “I've already selected a nice resting place for her? “Thank you for everything you do, Susan,” Judith whispered, wiping her tears.

Alexander held Judith in his arms and said in a heavy voice, “Actually, you shouldn't have cback.” “Why shouldn't we cback? We haven't seen each other for so long, and you still want to driveaway?” Judith was angry.

Alexander, taken aback by her sudden display of strength, could only express his grievance, saying, “I... | didn’t mean that. It’s just that the poison is so deadly, and I'm clearly their next target. I'm concerned that you might be in danger. It's better for you to return to Coraland. At least in Coraland, they failed once, and they wouldn't try again in the near future.” “So what if you're in danger?” Judith looked at him. “Do you think | can be happy if you die?” Alexander was stunned.

After a long time, he hugged Judith tightly and never brought up the idea of asking her to leave again.

Judith glanced at Eason. “In fact, Eason, you don’t have to cback with me. It's safer for us if we stay in different places.

Eason smiled. “I understand that | was conceived unexpectedly. But I'm still a member of the Nicholas family.” Eason seemed to be joking, but his voice was very calm.

ex Dre Babe, are you hungry? A ruthless CEO in the day, and a lovely husband at night! 4.4 FREE Installed Open Chapter 381 Alexander and Judith knew that Eason had made up his mind.

They sighed and did not try to persuade Eason anymore.

Judith turned to look at Susan on the other side of the video and said with concern, “Susan, you and Ben should also be careful, okay?” “Okay,” Susan replied in a low voice.

After hanging up the video call.

Susan stared at her locked phone, appearing lost in thought. No one knew what was going on in her mind.

Ben looked at her and vaguely guessed something. He couldn't help but sigh.

That evening. Penny's ashes were transported to the cemetery.

Susan quietly stayed with her for a while before leaving.

At night.

Susan leaned against the bed, reading a book intently.

Ben glanced at her multiple times and couldn't help but remind her, “You're holding the book upside down.” “Ah?” Susan was momentarily stunned, then corrected the book, her gaze returning to a vacant stare.

Ben, about to say something, was interrupted by his ringing phone.

Glancing at the caller ID, his expression turned serious.

He wanted to go away to answer it.

However, Susan looked at him sharply and asked, “Is there a result of the chemical reaction?” Ben was helpless.

“Aren’t you reading a book?” I've the book upside down. What do you think?” Susan glanced at him. “I also want to know the result of the test.

Ben stroked her hair. “I see.” He answered the phone in front of Susan and put it on speaker.

“Hey, Ben, where did you get this powder?” Thomas asked solemnly.

No one was more professional than the Medical Mystic when it cto handling powders.

4/6 Chapter 381 Ben had entrusted this matter to Thomas without a second thought.

Thomas's tone hinted at ssort of result? “Did you find anything?” Ben asked with a serious expression.

“This powder is extremely toxic, Thomas said with a serious look. “It is mixed with many kinds of poisons. I've tested it with venomous snakes. Even the most poisonous snake will be poisoned to death in a few minutes.

Moreover, there are two or three ingredients in this powder that | haven't detected yet.” Logically speaking, such a poison shouldn't exist in modern medical technology.

Due to the advancement of medicine, doctors could easily test the components of the poison. In the worst case, they could use physical methods like gastric lavage and induced vomiting to expel the poison from the body.

However, the composition of this poison was unknown, and its effect was potent, making it incurable.

Moreover, they hadn't figured out what the poison was made of, so they couldn't provide the correct medicine.

The poison had turned into something that couldn't be cured.

It's surprising that there's a poison in modern medicine that can’t be cured.

“Even you couldn't detect it? Ben becserious.

“I suspect sunknown poison has been added to it, Thomas explained. “The person who developed the poison likely found mysterious plants in sunknown place. These plants have never been. recorded, making their specific composition unknown.” This was troublesome! Frowning, Ben asked, “Do you have an antidote?” Thomas pondered for a moment and said, “I can’t completely detoxify it for the tbeing. But with a few days, | can prolong the outbreak of toxins, | might extend it from minutes to a week or a month.” Extending it to a week or a month was a significant breakthrough.

Without hesitation, Ben said, “Then I'll have to trouble you to study it for the next few days!” “Okay,” Thomas agreed, recognizing the seriousness of the situation.

After ending the call, Susan looked even inore absent-minded.

Even someone like her, not well-versed in medical matters, had heard of the Medical Mystic.

If Thomas couldn't fully remove the poison, there might not be another doctor worldwide who could.

Didn’t that mean.......

Chapter 351 As long as the person behind the scenes poisoned someone, there might be no cure? The thought of Alexander, Judith, or Eason being poisoned was too dire for Susan to contemplate.
