Chapter 2060 Worse Than Death

Lucian didn't let Roxanne watch the exhumation process and instead pulled her to the entrance of the cemetery to

wait.

“Don't worry, Darling. These officers are very professional. They just need to take some bones for testing. Once the

testing is done, the bones will be returned intact. Nothing will be lost!” Lucian reassured her.

Roxanne wasn't superstitious, but she made a suggestion. “Honey, after the testing is done, can we move the

grave? Although I don't think my father is qualified to be buried next to my mother, my mother truly loved him in

her lifetime. That's why she was so selfless. If only she could have decided enough was enough, maybe things

would have been different!”

Lucian nodded in agreement as it was no problem to do so. This cemetery was small in scale and far away, which

made it inconvenient for visits anyway.

After working for almost three hours, Bill and the group of officers came out. The officers nodded at Roxanne and

Lucian before saying, “We can confirm that the remains of Ms. Jarvis' mother show signs of poisoning before death,

and it was quite severe. Of course, we need to take the samples back for further testing to see what kind of poison

was used. It won't take long, though. You'll only need to wait around one or two days for the results!”

When Bill heard this, he frowned and said, “You punks should work overtime and get the results within a day!”

The other officers hurriedly nodded in response.

Bill asked the young officers to leave first and then went back to the car with Lucian and Roxanne.

The first sentence out of his mouth was his conclusion. “If I'm not mistaken, it's mercury poisoning!”

Mercury, also known as quicksilver, was the only metal that existed in liquid form under normal temperature and

pressure. It could evaporate at room temperature, and the vapor and compounds of mercury were highly toxic.

Thermometers contained this substance, and if accidentally broken, one had to be extremely careful due to the

toxicity of the mercury vapor.

Roxanne was stunned when she heard the answer.

As a doctor, she had treated patients with mercury poisoning before. Most of these individuals had been

accidentally exposed to small amounts of mercury and had suffered long-lasting agony afterward.

Mercury had a powerful impact on various parts of the human body, including the nervous, digestive, respiratory,

skin, and urinary systems. The toxicity would gradually increase and cause problems in all parts of the body. The

initial symptoms involved headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and irritability, and soon the signs of poisoning would

eventually spread throughout the entire body, leading to organ failure.

Those who suffered from chronic mercury poisoning basically experienced every kind of pain the human body could

possibly go through.

As Roxanne heard the news, anger surged within her, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

She clenched her teeth, and her eyes burned with fury. “Winnie, you have no heart! My mother had to endure

unbearable pain every day before she died, yet she was still worrying about me. She must have been in so much

agony!”

The pain was worse than death itself! Winnie Chardon, how I wish I could kill you!

Tears streamed down her face like a flood.

As Roxanne's tears flowed, Lucian held her tightly and whispered reassuring words into her ear.

Bill's face grew somber, but his eyes flashed with determination as he promised, “Don't worry. I'll help you catch the

culprit responsible for your mother's death!”

Once they arrived home, Roxanne's emotions were still too overwhelming for her to stay still. She felt a burning

desire to confront Winnie and make her suffer the same torment caused by mercury poisoning.

Soon, Cayden provided feedback that Winnie had taken the bait and agreed to meet with the people Lucian had

arranged to discuss the villa's sale price that night. However, to ensure Winnie couldn't escape, Lucian instructed

Cayden to get as many people as possible to block all the paths out of the city.

As night fell, the police confirmed that Roxanne's mother had indeed suffered from mercury poisoning that had

accumulated over time. They were currently preparing an arrest warrant. Once the process was approved, they

could proceed to arrest and interrogate the suspect.
