Chapter 1544: 1544. Helen was poisoned by someone
“We detected an unknown toxin in the tissue of her calf. I experimented yesterday, and this toxin damages human nerve tissue but doesn’t spread or get metabolized and expelled, so it stays in the original location.”
When Director Montgomery mentioned the “original location,” he meant the calf.
Because it doesn’t spread, it doesn’t affect other parts of her body, and because it doesn’t get metabolized and expelled, that’s why Director Montgomery was able to discover this toxin.
This is also why only the nerve tissue in the calf has necrosis, while other areas are normal.
Elly Campbell had never heard of such a poison, one that doesn’t metabolize, doesn’t spread.
“Have you found out what poison it is?”
Director Montgomery shook his head, “I’ve practiced medicine for so many years and consulted with several pharmacologist colleagues, but none have heard of such a poison.”
Saying that, he looked at Elly Campbell and asked:
“Has your friend offended anyone?”
Elly was taken aback by Director Montgomery’s reminder, and then a chilling coldness crept into her eyes.
Gradually, this coldness grew more turbulent.
After a moment, she barely suppressed her rage, looked at Director Montgomery, and said:
“Is there a way to find out how this toxin got in?”
“It can only be through muscle injection or skin penetration.”
Director Montgomery considered carefully before speaking, “Judging from the degree of muscle necrosis, the toxin must have been accumulating in her body for at least more than half a year.”
Director Montgomery’s words made Elly’s face change drastically, and she was silent for a long time.
She sat dazed in Director Montgomery’s office for a while, then slowly stood up, “Thank you, Director Montgomery. Let me think about this.”
“Alright, I’ll keep this from Helen Melendy for now, but you need to think carefully, you can’t keep it from her for long.”
“Okay.”
Elly replied absentmindedly, stood up, and left Director Montgomery’s office.
Before going to the ward, she called Harry Hall.
“Where are you, I need to talk to you.”
When Elly called Harry, he was on his way to the hospital. After hearing the situation from Elly on the phone, his whole demeanor turned cold.
He rushed to the hospital and saw Elly standing with a deep frown at the entrance of the inpatient building, looking somber.
“What’s going on? What poison, what muscle tissue necrosis?”
Harry didn’t pay much attention on the phone, he only heard Elly say that something happened to Helen, so he rushed straight to the hospital.
Seeing Elly not in the ward, but waiting downstairs at the inpatient building, he realized things were very serious.
Elly recounted to Harry what Director Montgomery had said to her.
Harry’s face turned ashen after hearing what Elly said.
“Helen was poisoned by an unknown toxin?”
Harry’s cold voice carried a chilling sharpness, and his hand next to him clenched into a fist.
Elly was silent, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
Helen is such a good person, why do so many tragic things have to happen to her.
“Does Helen know?”
“I haven’t told her yet.”
As she said this, she paused and continued, “Helen just woke up not long ago, and she has lost her memory. If I tell her she can’t walk now, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the blow. Let’s not tell her for now.”
This point, Harry also thought of it without needing Elly to remind him.
“As for the person who poisoned Helen, I’ll call the police, let them investigate secretly; there won’t be too many suspicious targets.”
