Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 918: Found a Lead

The car radio interrupted with a piece of news: "Recently, a large amount of poison has been circulating in a certain black market area in Stanton City..."

Jasper Sinclair quickly noticed that this interruption might be related to the poison affecting Nora Northwood.

He listened intently and afterward had a new lead.

If the issue of selling and making illegal drugs could be blown up to a larger scale, and everyone in Stanton City knew about it, the government would step in to resolve it.

By then, it would save him a lot of effort.

He could choose to cooperate with the government to quickly uncover the real culprit, and as long as the source of the drugs was found, further searches could lead to the buyers involved in transactions with them.

The person who poisoned Nora must be one of the buyers’ next-level contacts.

With this thought, Jasper immediately notified Louis Hayes to first contact the media to spread the word about the drug operation.

Unexpectedly, results could be seen by tomorrow morning.

Once the brain cells are active, time seems to fly by.

When Jasper hurried back to the Crimson Hill Villa, he found Nora staring blankly at a spill of plum juice.

He recalled Professor Bishop’s words and quickly connected the events.

The poison had already started to act in Nora’s body; her limbs would gradually lose strength.

Realizing this, Jasper’s emotions became a bit uncontrollable.

He shouted, "Why hasn’t anyone cleaned this up? Are you all blind?"

Fortunately, it was just spilled plum juice; the glass wasn’t broken, so Nora’s delicate skin wasn’t cut.

Jasper thought to himself: the household utensils need to be replaced with ones made of non-breakable material.

A servant took a small step forward, moving a few centimeters, but dared not approach the imposing man. Haltingly, she said, "Mr. Sinclair, ma’am won’t let us come near."

Nora was waiting for Jasper to return.

She wanted to ask directly, "Is it the onset of the illness?"

Jasper couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth, "No, it’s just a slip of the hand."

"But I keep slipping lately."

Caught in the lie.

"Jasper, tell me, will my hand ever be unable to lift again?"

Nora asked in near despair, and without an answer, she repeatedly asked the question.

Jasper’s Adam’s apple moved several times, yet he couldn’t utter the cruel words.

Cruel to Nora, and even more so to himself.

He approached her tear-filled eyes, his thin lips covering them, tasting bitter.

Nora called out his name in a breakdown.

In just a few minutes, without speaking, it felt like an eternity for Jasper.

When he finally spoke again, his voice was unbearably low, "I won’t let anything happen to you. We’ve already caught the culprit, and Professor Bishop will soon manufacture the antidote. Just give me a little more time, okay?"

Honestly, Nora was scared by today’s scene.

For a long time afterward, she couldn’t bring herself to enter a hospital or use disposable cups.

In the end, she cried herself to sleep in Jasper’s arms.

Jasper knew in his heart that this wasn’t natural sleep; it was the poison inside her acting up.

A month had passed, and symptoms were slowly emerging.

Jasper didn’t know how much longer she could hold on, especially since there was a small life in her belly, drawing nutrients from her body.

Thinking of this, an unrealistic idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Could the toxin be transferred to the fetal heart and a termination performed?

He would lose their first child, but he could ensure Nora’s safety.
