Chapter 217 The Blood Is Poisonous
Isabelle heard his answer and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought he had agreed, and after getting engaged, she would be able to be honest with her elders about the stable situation.
“Thank you for helping me look at the house. How about I treat you to a meal?”
“Of course, you can. I was also counting on you to support me in the long term.”
Isabelle couldn’t help but laugh, “Mr. Lopez, you are quite amusing.”
“I haven’t really been in a relationship before. Don’t laugh at me,” he said, flashing his perfectly aligned teeth as he reversed the car with a smile.
Isabelle was calculating in her mind that there were some matters she needed to discuss with him.
In the private room of the restaurant, the two sat down. After he finished ordering, she finally spoke up and asked, “For our
engagement in five days, do you want to have a ceremony or should we just announce it privately?”
She didn’t want to cause trouble. If the elders of the Lopez family came, then she would have a hard time getting away in the future.
“I understand your concerns, but I’m afraid my uncles may not believe it unless it is officially announced. The shareholders of The Lopez Group are watching closely, so we need to have an engagement ceremony to silence them. I must invite my parents and a few important people at the very least. I definitely want to hold a banquet.”

Isabelle frowned, “I can’t hide my belly. How do you explain to your parents? Can they still agree when they see me like this?”
David poured her a glass of milk. “I came up with a foolproof way to make them accept this child!”
“What can we do?” This is not the Lopez family’s child. Can they accept it?
Isabelle was curious.
He hesitated and touched his nose. “Bella, I can stop my father, but my mother is pressuring me to get married. When you go to try on wedding dresses the day after tomorrow, she definitely wants to meet you. You’ll find out then. So, will you agree to meet her?”
Since the engagement ceremony was going to be held, it would be inappropriate to meet his parents abruptly on the same day.
Isabelle said, “That’s the only way. I met Mrs. Lopez.”
David comforted her, “So what else do you have to worry about? Help me pacify her. After the engagement ceremony, we can choose a time to annul the marriage.”
Upon hearing him say this, Isabelle felt relieved.
The dishes were already served. The private room door was closed. Isabelle suddenly asked, “Mr. Lopez, has the blood test result of Tara Warren’s mother come out?”
“Yes,” David took out his phone, turned it around, and looked serious. “I had something to discuss with you today. I went to two different full blood testing centers, and the reports came out the same. I think you should take a look.”
Isabelle answered immediately.

After reading it, her face changed.
Tara’s blood indeed contained toxins! It was a very small amount, and this toxin was cunning, unable to be expelled by the body itself. As she expected, this toxin would gradually accumulate in the liver and kidneys, ultimately accelerating the death of a vegetative person.
This explains why Warren’s doctor checked him every day but didn’t find any abnormalities.
After Amy caused Tara to become a vegetable, she was so relieved. She seemed unconcerned about Tara waking up.
Given this situation, Tara wouldn’t have survived for three years at all. It would have been difficult for Tara to even survive for one year!
The massive use of this toxin can cause kidney failure in a person within a few hours.
Amy just took a massive amount of drugs, causing Tara to suffer from kidney failure and requiring a transplant, and then detoxification. After Tara’s surgery, she injected a small amount of drugs, deceiving
everyone!
Isabelle was deeply terrified and even more certain that she was right to have Glenda investigate how many kidney transplant patients there were at the hospital that day.
She deliberately poisoned Tara’s healthy kidney to death. Would such a malicious woman willingly “donate” a kidney?
Isabelle was very confused.
In order to prevent her from harming Tara again in the future, she had to reveal this truth to Warren.
The biggest concern for Isabelle after leaving was Tara, and she tried

to find a way to treat the toxins in her body. Only when the toxins were completely removed, Tara would have a chance to wake up.
With this in mind, Isabelle clenched her fists tightly and lost her appetite for a while.
She got up and hurriedly said goodbye, “David, could you please send me a copy of the electronic version of the report? I have something urgent to attend to.”
“There was a malicious person around Warren. He couldn’t see through it himself, so you don’t have to shoulder the blame,” David sighed.
Isabelle hesitated for a moment. If it weren’t for her uncle kidnapping Tara, Amy wouldn’t have had the chance to catch the person who harmed Tara.
Tara was always guilty.
That night, Isabelle stayed up all night studying that toxin. Tara, who had taught her traditional medicine, was strong in medical tools and pharmaceuticals.
The next day, Glenda called Isabelle and said that she intended to lurk in Dracfort Hospital to investigate, but Isabelle felt it too risky.
Isabelle rushed to Dracfort Hospital early in the morning.
Isabelle intended to investigate the condition of the kidney transplant patient that day, but Glenda refused her.
“You were running around with a big belly, which made me even more worried, and you were very noticeable to Amy. It’s better for me to do it alone.”
Glenda couldn’t tolerate her saying more. “Your immediate priority is to go and deal with the engagement between you and David. Haven’t

you seen the news? Yesterday, the Lopez Group announced that your engagement will take place in five days. That scumbag Warren indeed moved up his engagement with Amy to four days later. Did Amy instigate the announcement from Skyler Technology?”
“In short, the media has been hyping up their wedding, which is expected to be grander than ever before.”
“Tomorrow they were going to order wedding dresses at the most expensive bridal shop! Even if you and David are fake, I don’t want you to be looked down upon by them!”
She blurted out in anger, but Isabelle remained silent. Her heart twisted tightly, throbbing intensely.
He truly kept his word and said he would advance her engagement with David by one day. He did it.
He was determined to embarrass her in front of the whole city, to humiliate her and David.
Watching her face quickly turn pale, Glenda belatedly shut her mouth and regretfully embraced her. “Why did I say that? You’re engaged to David, don’t overthink it. Oh, by the way, weren’t you supposed to take your medication? It’s too conspicuous for us to be seen together like this. Hurry and leave.”
Isabelle snapped back to reality and nodded reluctantly. She had found thirty effective drugs for the neurotoxins in Tara’s body.
She took them back one by one to identify and refine, then mixed the special medicine, and could produce pills that could counteract that toxin.

The manager of the public relations department was called into the 50th floor CEO office.
Warren looked up, his expression indifferent and cold. “Was it you who announced the engagement four days later?”
“Warren, it’s me…” Amy walked in softly, smiling, and said, “The manager asked me to discuss the latest public relations initiative with me because the netizens were pressuring us about marriage. Yesterday, you mentioned at the hospital that we should announce it a day earlier, so I had Skyler Technology make the official announcement.”
Warren furrowed his brow.
Since his angry words had been spoken, Amy took it seriously and he could tell that she was anxious to get engaged.
He didn’t say anything, just looked displeased. “Did you also announce our schedule for tomorrow’s wedding dress shopping?”
Amy clenched her fists in fear of the authority in his brows. She curved her lips and walked over, acting coquettishly, “Yesterday, a reporter insisted on questioning me about my schedule. I had no choice but to let slip…”
“Warren, were you mad at me? I’m sorry, I have been eagerly waiting for this day. I am so happy.”
“And moreover, the relatives of the Watson family will come the day after tomorrow. If my parents find out that I haven’t prepared anything yet, they will scold me…”
Her words made sense. Warren looked at her gentle face, and a fleeting sense of unease passed through his mind.
