Chapter 1350

Vicky remained worried. "Are you sure?’

Isabella nodded. "Mister Hart is far stronger than ordinary people, which is why whoever tried to hypnotize and brainwash him failed. He wouldn't have survived until now if he was that easily provoked."

Vicky's heart sank. "Doctor Yelmon, what do you mean that someone tried to brainwash him?"

"I don't know the details, but when I checked his body at the time, I found traces of medications being used on him..." Isabella paused. 'My senior mentioned that he was poisoned."

A bitter look emerged on Vicky's face. "Has his poison... been eradicated?"

"At the time, Mister Hart's condition was hardly great.

Shortly after the detoxification, he injured himself all over again, and his injuries were so severe that the toxins in his body almost relapsed," Isabella explained.

Vicky paled. "Relapsed? Can the toxins that have been removed resurface?"

Isabella clarified, "The removal of chronic poisons requires a gradual process. Even with a special antidote, the toxins in his body won't disappear instantly. The antidote can ensure that he lives, but complete elimination takes time."

"So, now..."

"Rest assured, Mister Hart's body has been cleansed of toxins with my senior's help."

Vicky sighed in relief but then remembered what Isabella had said earlier. "Isabella, you mentioned that the poison he was exposed to was a chronic poison, correct?"

"That's what my senior said."

Vicky narrowed her eyes. "How long does it take for this poison to take effect if it's not administered continuously?"

Isabella shook her head. "Who said chronic poisons must be administered continuously to take effect?"

Vicky was confused. "Isn't that the case?"

Isabella knew Vicky did not understand medicine, so she patiently explained, "Some powerful poisons only need to be administered once. They'll take effect when the time comes and are called chronic poisons. The kind of chronic poison you understand has long been outdated. Continuously administering poison risks being discovered. Moreover, this type of chronic poison has many variables, and if the victim happens to undergo a medical examination due to an accident, it's easy to detect."

"So... When was this poison administered? Did you discover the answer to that at the time?" Vicky asked.

"Of course." Isabella's face showed a hint of pride. "My senior is the most formidable expert in detoxification among us. No type of poison can escape his scrutiny."
