    It was just the very next moment.


    Arabe''s movement halted mid-air.


    Louisa sensed something was amiss, she couldn''t help but ask, "Be, what''s wrong?"


    "There''s something wrong with this water."


    As soon as she uttered these words, everyone in the room was stunned. The water was tainted? What


    was wrong?


    "There''s a slow-acting poison in it."


    Arabe''s statement sent a wave of shock across the faces of everyone present, even Cornelia was


    visibly taken aback.


    This was the Collins family''s private hospital!


    Every single healthcare worker on this floor catered solely to the needs of the Collins family!


    Under such circumstances, outsiders couldn''t possibly gain entry!


    So, when could someone have possibly poisoned the water?


    Arabe, clearly aware of this dilemma, asked Louisa, "Has anyone else been here recently?"


    "No one, just us, the doctors and nurses, and two nursing workers."


    Since Arabe’s grandparents were in the same room, they were looked after by two nursing workers


    separately. Apart from them, no outsiders had been present.


    Arabe''s gaze swept over everyone present. Serena noticed her scrutiny and immediately felt a bit


    uneasy.


    Was Arabe going to use this opportunity to nder her?


    Out of the blue, why was Arabe looking at her?


    However, the next moment, Arabe''s gaze shifted away from her and onto others.


    Serena heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Arabe didn''t seize the opportunity to create a scene.


    "Ms. Be, I had just reced this water in the morning, it can''t possibly be poisoned.” The one


    speaking was Julie, she had been diligently caring for the olddy for months now and hade to


    regard her as family.


    “What time did you rece it?" Arabe''s tone was gentle. She was seemingly not intending to


    consider Julie a suspect.


    "It was around eight. After the doctor''s morning rounds, I went to rece the water. No one else had


    been here till you guys arrived."


    "So, you reced the water for everyone in the room?"

    "No, the water I reced was solely for the olddy. Helen and I both fetch water from outside. The old


    man’s water was reced by Helen."


    Arabe then opened her grandfather''s water bottle. It wasn''t poisoned. Could it be that the person who


    poisoned the water was targeting her grandmother alone?


    "Besides you two, who else knew that my grandparents use separate water bottles?" Arabe inquired


    again.


    "The doctors and nurses probably didn''t pay attention to these details. Apart from us and the family, no


    one else should know."


    By this time, Helen''s face had turned somewhat unnatural. She knew Arabe was knowledgeable in


    medical matters but she hadn''t expected that she could instantly spot what was wrong with the water.


    Now, Arabe turned her attention towards Helen. She was sitting beside her grandfather, her head


    bowed, trying to keep a low profile. However, Arabe could make out a hint of panic in her demeanor.


    "So, Helen is the one who poisoned the water."


    Arabe''s words scared Helen, making her jump to her feet, defensively retorting, "Ms. Be, you can''t


    speak recklessly!"


    Julie, who was standing by, jumped to her colleague''s defense, "It couldn''t have been Helen. She''s


    always been devotedly taking care of the old man.’
