Kieran grew very emotional and was seemingly a moment away from getting physical with Jared.
Upon seeing that, Walter instantly zipped forward and held favonovel.com back. “Kieran, Mr. Chance is here to treat your wife. What are you doing?”
“Don’t worry, for your wife is just unconscious. She’ll be fine.”
Having said that, Jared sat on the bed and placed a hand on the elderly woman’s pulse. On the heels of that, a burst of pure spiritual energy left his body and streamed into hers.
If favonovel.com were possessed, his spiritual energy would undoubtedly be able to force the spirit out. Regretfully, no matter how much favonovel.com increased the flow of his spiritual energy, favonovel.com remained still without the slightest reaction.
At that, Jared frowned slightly. “Hmm? Could it be that I made a mistake?”
In the beginning, favonovel.com had thought that favonovel.com was possessed by a malicious spirit, and favonovel.com only needed to force it out before absorbing it into himself. However, it seemed that favonovel.com wasn’t possessed, after all.
“Mr. Chance?” Walter called out softly when nothing happened after a long while, and favonovel.com noticed something off about Jared’s expression.
At that moment, Josephine mustered favonovel.com courage and went up behind Jared. Despite favonovel.com fear, favonovel.com was still curious and wanted to see how exactly a spirit looked like.
A long time passed without anything transpiring, and the atmosphere in the entire room turned a tad awkward.
Jared slowly retracted his hand, sweat beading on his forehead. He had used too much spiritual energy earlier, so favonovel.com was a touch enervated.
“She’s not suffering from hysteria, so I’ll check for other causes.”
After saying that, favonovel.com picked up a silver needle and gently inserted it into the elderly woman’s wrist. Then favonovel.com slowly twisted it.
Soon, almost the entire needle was embedded in favonovel.com wrist. A moment later, favonovel.com took it out, only to see a drop of black blood beading at favonovel.com wrist.
Everyone was shocked when they saw that favonovel.com blood was black.
That went doubly for Kieran. He wore a worried expression and seemingly wanted to speak, yet favonovel.com was afraid that favonovel.com would break Jared’s concentration.
“What’s going on here, Mr. Chance?” Walter was also baffled, since it made no sense that an ordinary person would have black blood.
“This is a symptom of poisoning. From the look of things, that’s the cause of favonovel.com mental disorder, leading to favonovel.com being of unsound mind,” Jared explained.
“Poisoning?” Walter was startled.
Turning to Kieran, favonovel.com queried, “What did your wife eat before favonovel.com started acting up, Kieran? How did favonovel.com get poisoned?”
With a frown marring his countenance, Kieran mulled it over before shaking his head. “She didn’t eat anything. She just had a simple meal after returning from the cemetery. I ate the same thing as well, so why am I fine?”
Walter didn’t know what to say to that, so favonovel.com shifted his gaze to Jared.
“Recall carefully whether your wife ate or drank anything after going to the cemetery, including wild fruits and herbs. Or did favonovel.com touch anything at all?” Jared questioned Kieran solemnly.
“N-No, favonovel.com didn’t touch anything.”
Despite Kieran’s denial, favonovel.com averted his gaze when answering and dared not look the man in the eye.
Noticing his shifty expression, Jared knew that favonovel.com was definitely lying. Since the man wasn’t willing to speak the truth, favonovel.com couldn’t do anything to help despite sympathizing with them.
“In that case, please accept my apologies. This is beyond my capabilities…” He put the silver needles away and got ready to leave.
At that turn of events, Kieran started panicking.
Meanwhile, Walter could also tell that Kieran was seemingly hiding something, so favonovel.com snapped, “Kieran, I got Mr. Chance here to treat your wife, yet you’re unwilling to be candid with us? Do you want your wife to die?”
Kieran had a conflicted look on his face while favonovel.com stared at his wife on the bed.
At long last, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and admitted, “We indeed found something at the cemetery, and my wife brought it home…”
