"Go find your grandmother. Mommy is going to Great Grandpa's house," Nicole said as she got up to go upstairs and change.
"I'll go with you," Jared said, watching Nicole preparing to go out. He stood up and followed.
Nicole frowned with a hesitant look, but Jared seemed to see through her.
Before he could reject him, he said meaningfully, "Could you manage if others were present?"
Understanding what he was implying, Nicole sighed and grudgingly agreed. "Let's go then."
Jared had a point. If she encountered other members of the Riddle family, she might accidentally expose the fact of her memory loss.novelebook.com That would be an issue for her future plans.
Lana was extremely joyous when Nicole went out with Jared.
Nolan, however, narrowed his eyebrows with displeasure. But then a light bulb lit up in his head. He ran back to his room and called Leo. He figured he had to inform Leo, or else Leo would not get another chance to prove himself.
Jared and Nicole got in the car and headed to the Riddle family manor. Watching as she went directly to the Riddle manor, Jared asked curiously, "Do you have a solution for this?"
Even if Nicole knew the compositions of the toxin, finding a solution would still take time. Yet, she was going straight to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s house to find him.
"Yes," Nicole replied simply, a hint of coldness radiating from her aura. Although she could not recall her memories, she could still feel who had been sincerely good to her. Thus, she did not want to delay her grandfather's matter.
Soon, they reached the Riddle family manor and went straight to Mr. Riddle Sr.'s room. The old man had stopped taking his medicine, following Nicole's advice. Within two days, his physique had improved greatly.
"You're here." Seeing Nicole and Jared, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes lit up.
"Grandpa." Nicole made her way to the bedside. "We've finished looking into your medication. Someone has indeed been tampering with your medicine."
The light in Mr. Riddle Sr.'s eyes faded, and his face turned pale. Although Nicole's words were clear, Mr. Riddle Sr. had been contemplating these two days about this matter. He believed Nicole would never suspect his medications for no reason, so he was not surprised by the result.
Besides that, it also occurred to Mr. Riddle Sr. that if there was a problem with the medicine, only a handful of people could have done it. Thinking of the person who gave him the medication, he felt chills run down his spine.
Nicole saw the sorrow in Mr. Riddle Sr. and figured he probably understood the situation. So she remained silent, thinking there was no point in consoling him. Besides, he had weathered many storms in his life. He would have no problem overcoming the setbacks he faced. He just needed time to digest it.
Shortly, Mr. Riddle Sr.'s expression returned to normal. He looked at Nicole and Jared, saying, "I'll leave this matter in your hands."
Nicole nodded, and responded gravely, "We're on it."
"Good." Mr. Riddle Sr. did not seem surprised, knowing that the investigation would end with a result. So he turned to ask, "You have a way to cure the poison?"
