Chapter 985

“Daddy will be home right away,” said Evan before he hung up the phone.

Evan then dialed up the doctor and asked him to get over to the Imperial Garden immediately.

“Understood, Mr. Seet. I’ll head on over right away,” said the doctor.

Evan and the doctor arrived at the Imperial Garden within seconds. The two of them made their way
upstairs hastily.

At that moment, Nina was crying in her own room. She looked at the bite marks sadly with tears in her
eyes. Why did mommy bite me?

Nina did not expect her mommy to bite her, much less biting so hard that it might leave a scar.

Nicole was locked up in her room. She was trembling all over with visions of monsters opening their
gaping maws to devour anyone in sight. Maya and Nina have been eaten by the monsters. I have to
avenge my babies by killing them off!

“Please don’t eat my daughters… Please don’t eat my daughters…” Nicole pleaded weakly in the
corner with her eyes red from crying.

Suddenly, the door was flung open and when Nicole caught sight of Evan and the doctor walking in,
she shrieked, “The monsters ate Maya and Nina. The monsters ate our daughters!” Visibly terrified,
Nicole was wailing helplessly.

“They’re alright. There isn’t any monsters. You were just having a bad dream. Maya and Nina are both
fine and well,” Evan comforted Nicole gently.

“A bad dream?”



With her brows furrowed, Nicole tried hard to recall what had happened but only felt nauseous. “My
head hurts so bad, Evan,” Nicole said as she grasped her head tightly with both hands.

Evan immediately stepped aside for the doctor to get an examination on her. However, Nicole was
repulsed by the doctor’s touch.

“What are you doing? Don’t touch me!”

“Mrs. Seet, please let me perform an examination on you.”

“No, stay away from me! Don’t touch me!” Nicole screamed at the top of her lungs as the doctor
approached her. She turned to look at Evan in despair, hoping the latter would help her fend the doctor
off.

“We must examine her immediately to determine what is ailing her,” the doctor urged.

After a moment of deliberation, Evan came to Nicole’s side and consoled her patiently. As soon as she
showed signs of easing up, Evan quickly struck her from behind, causing her to pass out.

Nicole promptly collapsed into Evan’s arms. The doctor then took this opportunity to examine her.

The doctor’s face gradually darkened over the course of the examination with what equipment he had
on site.

Evan sensed that something was amiss when he saw the doctor’s expression. Nicole’s illness is
probably more serious than I thought.

“Mr. Seet, I’m afraid Mrs. Seet was poisoned. Someone had drugged her with a hallucinogen,”
explained the doctor.

Silence filled the air.



The entire atmosphere turned chilly as Evan narrowed his eyes, bearing a frosty expression on his
face.

A hallucinogen. Who could have done this to Nicole? And when?

“Is there an antidote? Will there be any side effects?” asked Evan worriedly.

“Mr. Seet, this particular hallucinogen is very potent. There isn’t an antidote as of this moment. Judging
by Mrs. Seet’s condition, it is very likely that she will suffer a relapse in near future. However, the
possibility of a relapse is highly dependent upon the patient’s emotional stress and state of mind.
Therefore, it is important to keep Mrs. Seet happy and free from stress so as to alleviate the
symptoms,” the doctor explained to Evan after some careful thinking. “Mrs. Seet could not even
recognize her own daughter. Clearly whoever decided to give her the hallucinogen spared no expense.
For the hallucinogen to be completely removed from her body, I’m sorry to tell you that it is going to be
a long and tedious process.”

Evan had obtained valuable information from the doctor’s explanation—Nicole would be tormented
under the effects of the hallucinogen for a long period of time.

The high level of dosage administered to Nicole showed the culprit was well aware of the fact that Evan
intended to keep Nicole close by his side—an apparent obstacle for future poisoning.

Who did this! It has only been awhile since I left her side. Just how did the culprit manage to poison
her?

I mustn’t drag on any longer. This matter has to be dealt with immediately. Since Davin and Sheila are
unoccupied lately, I’ll have them conduct an investigation into this matter.

He immediately called Davin to give him a brief on the situation before assigning the latter to the task.



“Evan, what do you mean by this? You want me to investigate to see if there were any suspicious
people in the Imperial Garden? What suspicious people?” Davin replied in surprise.
