Chapter 78: Abnormalities

But over the past few days, he had sent people to watch Jack and had not found any communication between him and Sheila. Moreover, all the doctors at the central hospital had already admitted that they had given his grandfather medicine after listening to Claire’s words.

Although he was reluctant to believe it, Alex had not forgotten how his father died at the hands of a woman. Thinking about the past, Alex’s eyes turned extremely cold. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside while he was lost in thought. Frowning, Alex pushed open the door and walked out. As soon as he stepped out, he saw two hospital security guards blocking a woman. His eyes narrowed, and he walked up quickly, asking in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

The security guards stopped their actions upon hearing Alex’s voice and said helplessly, "Mr. Miller, Miss Smith insisted on coming in, and we had no choice."

Alex waved his hand and said, "Never mind, you can leave."

He then walked up to Claire and asked with concern, "Didn’t I ask you to wait for me at home? Why did you come?"

Looking up at him, Claire’s eyes were clear, and her lips were tightly pursed with stubbornness. She said, "Grandpa has passed away. I should come and pay my respects no matter what."

Hearing this, Alex frowned and instinctively avoided her gaze, saying, "There’s nothing to see. The body is infected with germs after death. You’re pregnant; don’t go in."

"What? Are you afraid that I’ll find some evidence?" Claire snorted coldly.

Alex replied, "Please go back and stop making trouble. Go home quickly; don’t get involved in what’s going on here."

With helplessness in Alex’s eyes, he stepped forward to grab Claire’s arm. Claire’s beautiful eyes sank, and she took a step back, avoiding his hand.

"Alex, I’ve explained it to you many times. Why don’t you believe it?"

While speaking, Claire’s tone revealed unconcealed anger.

"You...."

When Alex heard these accusations, a bruise appeared on his cheeks, and a murderous look surged in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, and there was a ball of flame jumping deep in his eyes. All this was going on when Jack appeared and said, "Is it possible that you still want to fight against me all because of such a woman?"

Alex’s face was gloomy. He forcibly suppressed the restlessness and panic in his heart, tried his best to keep calm, and said, "Jack, the old man is gone, and now I’m the master of the Miller family. I will say it for the last time, it’s none of your business here; get out of here."

"Tut, tut, tut..." Jack did not move and teased, "Look at your tone of voice, Alex; you really haven’t changed at all. You killed your biological father because of a woman a few years ago, and now it’s because of a woman that you killed your grandfather."

"You shut up!" Alex shouted angrily, his eyes scarlet like blood, and his whole face filled with a ferocious and terrifying expression.

"Hahaha." Jack looked up to the sky and smiled, with madness in his eyes, and said, "Alex, you killed my brother first, and now you killed my father. I will hate you all my life!"

His laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Claire, saying, "Miss Smith, think about it carefully. If you give up now, maybe you can escape safely. Otherwise, if you enter this intensive care unit and you come out, if you can’t produce any evidence, then the Miller family can’t tolerate you anymore!"

Claire’s face flashed with struggle. She bit her lower lip with her white teeth, hesitating. She wanted to find out the truth and uncover the real culprit who killed Mr. Miller! After making up her mind, Claire looked at Jack and said resolutely, "Okay, if I can’t produce the evidence, then I will leave the Miller family and accept defeat from now on!"

"Claire!" Alex grabbed Claire’s wrist and said sharply, "Who allowed you to agree? Have you asked for my opinion?" She ignored Alex and instead looked at Jack, saying, "I promise you, let me go in." Her tone was firm, and her attitude was tough.

At this moment, Alex was stunned, staring at Claire in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. After a long time, he let go of her hand, stood there decadently, and murmured in despair, "Claire, how dare you do this..."

Claire ignored Alex and walked towards the intensive care unit. There was a wicked smile on the corner of Jack’s mouth as he watched this scene. He didn’t stop her; on the contrary, he was looking forward to watching the drama unfold. Alex’s face was extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he still didn’t let go.

He thought of his father’s appearance before he died and also thought of his mother Emma’s crying in his heart. He hesitated and struggled for a long time. After all, he couldn’t bear to make a move and turned around to leave. But just as he was about to leave, Claire suddenly yelled, "I only need ten minutes. Let me take a last look at the elder master."

Hearing this, Alex stopped, turned around abruptly, stared at her, and said, "What do you mean by that? Heh."

Claire smiled sadly, shook her head, and said, "Alex, don’t you want to find out the truth of the matter?" After finishing speaking, she looked straight at Alex. His eyelids twitched suddenly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. A few shadows flashed between his brows. He stared at her coldly and asked, "What do you know?"

"The identity of the person in that room is not just that of Mr. Miller. He is also the patient I treated!" Claire pointed to the intensive care unit with a serious face and said, "I am a doctor, and I am responsible for the patients I have treated. You don’t have to believe me, but I want a chance to prove myself and find out the truth!"

Hearing this, Alex fell into a dilemma. He wanted to stop her, but he was worried that his actions would make Claire more emotional. And if she was allowed to investigate, it was very likely that she would startle the snake and fall into Jack’s trap again.

He didn’t want to take any chances! Alex’s thoughts turned, and his mind was running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it. Just then, footsteps came from the corner of the corridor. Jack approached slowly, with a mocking smile on his face, and said in a light tone, "Since Miss Smith has said so, let her go in and have a look, Alex." Jack looked gloating.

He had heard everything Claire said clearly from a distance and was secretly happy. Alex’s face darkened, and he immediately became vigilant, saying, "What’s the matter with you being here? I remember I told you to leave." Jack leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, looking at Claire with great interest, and said, "If I leave, I will miss Claire. Don’t forget, this is the doctor who directly killed my father." His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed to have penetrating power, hitting Alex’s heart hard. These words were like a spell, choking his mouth lightly. The way he looked at Jack was unpredictable, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness hidden in the depths of his pupils.

Claire noticed it and looked up, only to see a faint smile on Jack’s lips. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked at Alex playfully.

"What do you want?" Alex growled. He suppressed the churning emotions in his heart and forced himself to calm down. Jack laughed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Alex, I’m your second uncle. Why are you so hostile to me? At the end of the day, we share the same last name and are family."

Claire, wanting to escape the argument between the two, nodded toward Jack and walked forward, not giving Alex the chance to stop her. She walked into the intensive care unit and looked at Mr. Miller, who was lying on the bed and wrapped in a white cloth. Claire’s nose was slightly sore, holding back her tears. In her impression, although she hadn’t dealt with Mr. Miller a few times, he was always very kind and had the presence of a grandfather. Now, because of the conflicts in this family, he could not spend his old age peacefully.

Claire felt infinite sadness in her heart, but she quickly calmed down. She checked carefully, observing every inch and looking for clues. Not only to clear her name, but also to give an explanation to Mr. Miller. Claire searched and finally found the abnormality.

She saw a black-purple mark next to the old man’s neck, and her heart skipped a beat. The mark was clearly a scar from poisoning. This discovery shook her to the core. But who had the audacity to poison the elder master?
