"How did you say that Grandma?"

"Did you know that there's someone who tried to poison me recently?"

Neli covered her mouth in astoundment because of what Grandma said to her, is the reason why she saw her in a wheelchair at the dinner party is because she was poisoned? But, who wants to poison her?

"I'm s-sorry, Grandma, I-I didn't know."

"You don't have to apologize Neli. Fortunately, according to my doctor I only swallow a small portion of the poison so it didn't threaten my life, but because of my age, I had to stay in the hospital for a day just to make sure that there will be no side effects in my body."

"But, who do you think would do that to you, Grandma?" she asked her.

"The suspect is one of the maids in the mansion." she said. "But there was something that happened that I didn't expect."

Neli just listens to her.

"Carmen came to the hospital together with that woman and Caleb came at night after my butlet informed him that I was suddenly rushed in the hospital. I was confused why that bitch came as well, so I asked Carmen about it after the two left the hospital--."

Her eyes widened, she was interested to listen to what Grandma was saying but she got her attention when she said that Hazel and Caleb left the hospital together. Was that the day they were photographed by a paparazzi and it said that Hazel might be pregnant when the two of them came out of the hospital together?

"You mean Caleb and Hazel left the hospital together, Grandma?"

"Yes, why?"

"Umm, I saw in the news-- ah, nothing Grandma."

"Are you talking about the news about that woman might be pregnant with my grandson because they came out of the hospital together? Neli, that thing is impossible." Grandma said, she was full of anger. "I know my grandson is stupid but I also know he will not make that woman pregnant."

"But why didn't he explain that to me, Grandma?"

"Because he's stupid." Grandma answered causing her to laugh. "He immediately asked to delete all the photo on social media that day to stop it from spreading, and he filed a case against those journalists who spread fake news and put them in jail because of that article."

"He did that?"

"It's misinformation and a fake news, and you can do anything if you have money." Grandma laughed at her own joke.

If so, the news that Hazel is pregnant is not true, and the only reason the two are together in the hospital is because they visited Grandma because she was poison. She felt relieved all of a sudden, because of what she found out.

Grandma continue.

"So after that, Carmen told me that she saw that woman outside the hospital and said that she was there to visit me because she heard that I was poisoned. But what Carmen didn't know was that I told my butler and all the maids in the mansion that only Caleb and Carmen should know what happened to me."

"...Then, why did Hazel--?" she covered her mouth when she realized something.

"Exactly! Why does that woman know that I'm in the hospital when only Carmen and Caleb know what happened, that's why I had the idea that she had something to do with what happened to me but I don't have any evidence." Grandma said. "I didn't tell them about it and made my own investigation. I learned that there was a maid in the mansion who suddenly disappeared after the poison incident, and asked my butler to find that maid but they couldn't find her anywhere in the city. The police also said that she might have left the country so I asked all my friends who owns the airlines company to check her name, but they didn't find her name and the police suddenly informed me that the maid I was looking for was found dead in the river near GG city a few days ago."
