Actually, Shirley Thorne had received the lab report on the blue drug last night.
Ian Hollis delivered it personally, and Ethan Grant even took the rare step of putting his work aside to review the report with her.
Shirley Thorne couldn't understand most of it, but the section on side effects was written in crystal-clear layman's terms and was very easy to comprehend.
"This drug can cause a death-like state of shock, leading to respiratory distress, and ultimately, death by asphyxiation."
Reading it made Shirley's scalp tingle. She couldn't help but think how truly ruthless Susan Langley was to have tricked her into taking this.
Back then, it had never crossed her mind that there was someone in the world even more ruthless than Susan Langley.
Tricking someone into taking it? What was that?
True courage was daring to try it yourself!
"Aunt Rowan!"
Shirley Thorne cried out in shock.
The drug in the vial was real poison; she had sent it for analysis herself.
