“Ethan, what’s on your mind?” Janet looked at her gloomy husband questioningly.
Ethan was sitting quietly on the sofa with furrowed brows and a deep-set frown.
“Anything wrong?” Janet pursed her lips worriedly.
“Nothing. It’s just work. I rushed here straight from work when I heard you were in the hospital,” Ethan
answered perfunctorily.
“You should go back then. I’ll be fine here.” Janet smiled.
Just then, the door to the ward swung open.
“Janet! Are you feeling better?” Garrett strode in with several bags of tonics. Seeing so many people in
the ward, he stopped in his tracks and said sorry.
Bearing gifts, he walked over to Ethan on the sofa.
Garrett’s sharp eyes picked up on Ethan’s gloominess instantly. He lowered his voice and asked,
“What’s wrong?”
He glanced at Janet, who was in bed, and then looked back at Ethan. “Janet’s fine. What’s with the
long face?”
Ethan didn’t answer. His cold eyes swept across the people in the ward. In a low voice, he said to
Garret, “Let’s talk outside.”
As he spoke, he stood up and headed for the door. Once outside, he took out his phone and called
Frank.
“You haven’t contacted me in months. I thought you’ve forgotten all about me.” Frank’s tone was flat
and blunt. Perhaps he was still angry that Garrett and Ethan hadn’t called him since they moved to
Barnes.
“I’ll ask my assistant to book you a flight. I need you to come to Barnes right away.” Without saying
anything more, he hung up before Frank could respond.
Overhearing Ethan’s conversation just now, Garrett realized the gravity of the situation. “Is Janet sick?”
“No.” Ethan shook his head. His eyes were as dark and cloudy as the night sky. “The murderer from
twenty years ago has resurfaced.”
After saying that, he went back to the ward and gave some instructions to the attending medical staff.
“Please draw some of her blood and save it for testing.”
Everyone looked at Ethan in confusion.
Janet also frowned and asked, “Why? What’s wrong?”
Ethan didn’t go into any details. He simply walked over to her bedside and stroked her hair gently.
“There’s something I just want to check.”
*******
Frank landed in Barnes around midnight, and Ethan came to pick him up personally.
“What’s up? You sounded really serious on the phone earlier,” Frank asked.
Ethan handed Janet’s blood sample to him and said, “Check if there’s anything suspicious. I can get
you any test equipment you need.”
Frank took the blood sample, confused, but didn’t ask more questions.
A few days later, Frank called Ethan with the results. His voice sounded surprised. “Whose blood did
you give me? There are trace amounts of poison in it. Whoever owns this blood was poisoned.”
When Ethan received Frank’s phone call, he was at home with Janet. When he heard what Frank had
to say, his expression hardened.
“Wait,” he said to Frank in a low voice.
Ever since Janet was discharged from the hospital, she had been given a short holiday so that she
could properly recuperate at home.
Janet didn’t think there was anything seriously wrong with her. Still, she was glad to have some time off
to keep Ethan company.
“Stay put in bed, honey,” Ethan said to Janet gently. “I’ll be right back.” After tucking her in, Ethan stood
up and left the room, making sure to close the door behind him. He went downstairs and continued his
conversation with Frank on the phone.
“What kind of poison are we talking about?”
