Even After Death

Chapter 1218

Yale slowly became serious.

"What do you mean?"

Olivia's gaze swept across the surrounding maids.

"Mr.Yale, can I have a moment with you?"

"Come with me."

Molly wanted to tag along, but he told her to rest downstairs.He wasn't sure if Olivia was going to

coerce him into something or not.

Olivia followed him to the study.He locked the door.

Now that they were alone, he showed his true colors.

"Ms.Fordham, what are you up to? Why did you go through so much trouble to approach my sister?

"Even if you hold grudges against me, just come at me.Molly is innocent.She doesn't know how dark

the world is out there.She has nothing to do with anything.If you lay a finger on her, I..."

A gun pointed at her head.His voice sent chills to the bone.

"I will make you regret living."

Surprisingly, she appeared calm.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have been this impulsive, Mr.Yale.I've never dragged Molly into the fray

between you and Ethan.It's my first time meeting her today.She almost fainted, and I caught her.I felt

her pulse so I know her condition."

He had faith in her medical skills.

If it hadn't been for her, Ethan and Linus would've died back then.

"Are you kind enough to turn a blind eye and put our bad blood aside?"

"I'm a doctor, as well as a mother.I hope others won't go through what I experienced.I only found out

that she's your sister a moment ago."

She eyed him coldly.

"If I were you, I would put down the gun immediately.What do you think?"

Withdrawing the gun, he apologized indifferently, "Sorry."

"Honestly, I'm relieved that you're doing this."

"Just what are you up to?"

Olivia leveled with him.

"I'll be honest with you about your sister's condition.Her body's weak because she has been poisoned."

"Poisoned? How could this be?"

"It's a chronic poison.It doesn't show symptoms, so it's hard to tell."

"A poison that doesn't show symptoms? Why is the other party doing this?"

She grinned.

"Because this poison shortens the victims’ lifespan.And it's nearly impossible to tell how long one can

live."

His face fell.

"What did you say!"

"Relax.Molly's body is clean.She was probably fed a small dose of it when she was young.It won't cost

her life instantly.But it's different as time passes.She should've died when she was ten.Even ordinary

forensics might overlook it."

There was a pause before she continued, "She's still alive because she stopped the intake midway.It'll

slowly take a toll on her growth and immune system.That's why it's hard to notice its presence.

"People might merely think that her body is weak.I didn't bring it up because I was afraid the culprit was

around her.It'll be troublesome if the culprit suddenly decides to finish her in one go."

Olivia's explanation slowly wore his guard down, but his expression remained stoic.

"Based on what I observed, she's important to you.That's definitely not how the culprit would act.That's

why I'm being honest with you."

Yale frowned.

"Molly was adopted when she was seven.Someone saved her from the water.Her head hit a rock, so

she couldn't remember anything before she turned seven."

"The clues are falling into places.The culprit must've poisoned Molly before she turned seven.But luck'snovelbin

on her side.I bet you've spent a lot of money on her, haven't you? If you were a humble family, she

would've long died."
