Chapter 743 Testing the Deadly Weapon

Day Seventy-Eight...

~~*****~~

[ At Country M... ]

Old Man Xu visited Maximilian Carlsen once again to retrieve Monica's DNA sample.

"Did you get it?" Old Man Xu was direct to the point, not beating around the bush. His grandson was looking forward to the result. This was one way to confirm if Monica was his biological mother.

Maximilian nodded his head. He picked a ziplock hidden underneath his pillow. It contained Monica's hair strand. Aside from Monica's hair strand, he also turned over Helena's DNA sample.

"Thank you for your cooperation," Old Man Xu expressed his gratitude as he secured the two DNA samples inside his bag.

"Don't thank me. I also want to know the truth whether my daughter Helena is the real mother or not." Maximilian lost the will to live when he found out that his real daughter died. But now, he was clinging to this hope that Ethan might be Helena's son.

"I understand. I have to go now. I will send these samples to our medical facility. No one will try to alter the result," Old Man Xu confidently mumbled.

"Yes. You should leave. Monica might come back here anytime." Maximilian reminded Old Man Xu to avoid running into Monica. They had to keep this DNA test confidential.

"Once you get the result. Please update me right away." Maximilian grabbed his hand tightly, his eyes pleading with him. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

"Of course. I'll come back and visit you again. You have to recover quickly and leave this hospital. Okay?" Old Man Xu showed genuine concern for the old man. He could understand the feeling of losing their loved ones. He sympathized with him.

Old Man Xu bid farewell to Maximilian, leaving the hospital cautiously. But little did they know, Monica had already planted a spying device inside Maximilian's ward even before Old Man Xu arrived at the hospital. She was thinking one step ahead of them.

"Ahuh, two sneaky old men are plotting something behind my back," Monica mumbled as she watched the live recording on her phone screen. The spying camera was connected to her mobile device.

Monica's face contorted as she lost her patience. "Don't blame me. I gave you one last chance but you threw it away."

Maximilian maintained his brave font, unfazed by Monica's threat. He never imagined that this woman in front of him was a total psycho. She would kill anyone without feeling any guilt. That's how despicable she was.

"Mr. Carlsen, since you don't want to speak, let me enlighten you. I know who dropped by to see you. Chairman Sparks, Nathan's father."

Maximilian's eyes widened in shock when he heard that. He knew it. Monica discovered something. She continued talking.

"Hmm. Do you think you can fool me? Sneaky old man. I know what you are up to. You gave him my hair strand for another DNA test. Hmmm. You committed a great mistake, Mr. Carlsen. If you are curious whether Ethan Sparks is your grandson, you should have asked me directly, instead of colluding with that old man." She mocked him.

"Now, you are going to die for real." Monica sneered at him.

Maximilian sensed that he was in danger. In his eyes, Monice became the Grim Reaper. With his remaining strength, Maximilian got off the bed to escape. He tried his best to run as fast as he could. Every ounce of effort was dedicated to a desperate attempt to reach the door, his frail form propelled forward by sheer determination.

However, Monica, swift and unyielding, caught up with Maximilian before he could reach the door. Monica produced a syringe filled with a deadly poison. The glint in her eyes betrayed no mercy as she injected the lethal substance into Maximilian's neck.

The poison coursed through his veins, making him weak as he stumbled on the floor. As the poison took hold, Maximilian's futile attempts at escape gave way to the harsh reality of his impending demise. He felt his heart constrict as if he were experiencing another heart attack. He couldn't breathe, the oxygen escaping him in a desperate struggle for air.

"W-What... h-have... you... done..." Maximilian asked her in his low voice.

But Monica ignored him. Instead, she focused on her wristwatch, meticulously counting the passing seconds or minutes. Thoughts raced through her mind, contemplating how long it would take for the lethal poison to claim the life of the old man she had injected.

At that certain moment, Maximilian accepted his fate. He would die without knowing the truth. The last thing that popped up in his mind before he died was the beautiful image of his beloved daughter, Helena. Both of them were victims of Monica's scheme.

'I'm sorry, Helena. I am a useless father. I failed to protect you.'

At exactly three minutes, Maximilian Carlsen died on the spot. Monica rejoiced, satisfied with the outcome. 'So, within three minutes Abigail and Phantomflake can die easily in my hands.'

According to Veronica's journal, no one would find out that the victims were poisoned. The cause of death would be heart attack.
