Chapter 58 Food Tampering
Gianna swept a glance across everybody in the room, then pretended to be unconcerned.
“It‘s nothing; ? was just asking. It wasn‘t due to a fluctuation in his emotions and the food
he ate seems fine. Perhaps, his blood pressure is simply unstable due to his medical histor

for a short walk when you‘re free. I‘m going to perform acupuncture on him now. Please le

After that, everybody obediently left the room, leaving only Gianna and Silas inside the roo
m.
“What‘s wrong?” Silas asked worriedly.
Gianna chuckled softly. I can‘t believe he could tell that I was lying. Thus, she deliberately
asked, “What?”
He replied confidently, “There‘s something amiss about why my grandpa is unconscious!”
She raised her brows at him. “Smart!” As she said that, she glanced at the tightly–

His expression darkened immediately–

e chest and ran down along the arm to end at the
tip of the middle finger. As she worked, she was unhurried, and every needle she inserted
was precise. .
Thus, he did not rush her nor disturb her. Besides, he found the way she looked at the mo
ment to be very pleasant to the eyes.
After a while, she stood up and looked at him. “I suspect somebody added a small amount
of
medication in the old man‘s food to increase his blood pressure. As you know, people with
cerebrovascular diseases are most sensitive to sudden increases in their blood
pressure. If it only happens once or twice, nothing might come out of it. But, if it happens
over a long period, the walls of the arteries will become thin. If that happens, the old man‘
s life will be endangered!”
His expression was dark and solemn, and his eyes were dangerously narrowed. However,
he said nothing.
“Have you thought about how you‘re going to catch the culprit?” she asked.
He replied, “There are surveillance cameras in the Nolan residence.”
“If you know about it, won‘t the people who tampered with the old man‘s food know about
it too?” she asked again. Upon hearing that, Silas frowned. That‘s true. It‘s not going to be

easy to catch a culprit that was actively avoiding the surveillance cameras. “Then, let‘s in
terrogate them one by one!” “That will just tip the culprits off.”
He gazed up at her. “Do you have a way to catch them?”
Gianna studied her surroundings. Old Man Nolan‘s room was the easiest place for somebo
dy to avoid the surveillance cameras as well as everybody else. Then, she pointed at a sm
all ornament on the bedside table. “If they can do it once, they will do it again. As long as
you don‘t alert them to it, you‘ll be able to catch the culprit.”
