“My husband will not be experimented on!” she shouted, her voice echoing through the room. “Let him rest in peace and stop disturbing everyone with your nonsense! Get the hell out of here p>
She pointed angrily at Marcus, her entire body trembling with rage. “You imbecile! Beggar! Son of nobody! Who do you think you are to come here and accuse the hospital of killing my husband p>
Marcus’s jaw tightened, but he said nothing. The woman’s words were harsh, and the anger in her voice made him gulp. He slowly turned toward Julia.
“Convince them,” he said quietly. “He was poisoned p>
Julia stared at him.
She knew Marcus. He was not the kind of person who would make such a serious accusation without having some reason behind it. Whatever he was seeing, whatever he had noticed on her father’s body, he genuinely believed there was something wrong.
Julia wiped the tears from her face and turned toward the doctor.
“Doctor, can you please leave him for the time being?” she asked. “Just until we are certain about what happened p>
The doctor’s expression immediately changed.
“Miss Julia, this is not something we can simply delay because someone has made an accusation. I am a doctor and I can tell you he is spewing bullshit”
“But p>
“You are actually listening to him?” Victoria interrupted angrily. “After everything he has done, you still choose to believe him p>
Several members of the family immediately began murmuring.
“She has completely lost her mind p>
“She is a disgrace to this family p>
“Her grandfather just died, and she wants to prevent him from being taken to the morgue because of some nonsense p>
“Look at what this man has done to her p>
Julia’s face tightened.
Mrs. Alfred pointed at her angrily. “You see? This is what you have become because of him! You don’t even care about your grandfather anymore p>
“That isn’t true,” Julia whispered.
“What isn’t true?” Victoria snapped. “Everyone here knows what you’re doing p>
Ms Leah also chimed in, “Julia, just shut up please”

The room became filled with voices. Nobody seemed willing to listen to Julia’s explanation. Even the doctor Hooked increasingly uncomfortable as the argument continued.
Finally, he turned toward the nurses.
“Take the body to the morgue p>
The nurses nodded and began moving the bed.
Julia stepped forward instinctively, but Marcus gently caught her arm. “Let them,” he said quietly.
Julia looked at him, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
Mr. Alfred’s body was slowly wheeled out of the room. Mrs. Alfred followed behind, still crying and occasionally glaring back at Marcus and Julia.
The others followed as well, throwing them angry looks and shaking their heads.
One by one, they disappeared through the doorway.
The room finally became quiet.
Marcus looked at Julia. “I know what I’m saying p>
Julia remained silent for several seconds. Then she slowly nodded. “I believe you p>
Marcus looked at her.
Julia lowered her eyes, remembering the previous night.
“Father called me yesterday,” she said softly. “He said he wanted to tell me something about my own father p>
Marcus’s expression changed.
“I didn’t even grow up knowing my father,” Julia continued. “So when he said he had something to tell me, I was eager to hear what it was. I thought maybe he finally wanted to explain what happened p>
She swallowed hard.”But he died before this morning p>
Marcus said nothing.
“I know anyone can die at any time,” Julia continued. “And maybe his death really was natural. But now that you’ve noticed things…” She looked toward the doorway where her grandfather’s body had disappeared. “I have my doubts too p>
Julia remained silent for a moment before finally looking at Marcus.
“You know what? I’ll see what I can do. I can’t just let this go p>
Marcus nodded and said, “Don’t push it to hard it they don’t agree p>
Julia nodded back, then turned around and hurried out of the room.
Marcus watched her disappear through the doorway before letting out a quiet sigh. He still believed what he had seen. The purple mark on Mr. Alfred’s neck, the condition of his skin, and the other symptoms were not things he could simply ignore.
He had no idea who could have poisoned the old man.

Several hours passed.
Marcus remained in the hospital corridor, sitting quietly on one of the chairs. Nurses and doctors walked past occasionally, but he barely paid attention to them. His thoughts remained on Mr. Alfred’s death.
Eventually, he heard footsteps approaching.
Marcus looked up and saw Julia walking toward him.
She looked exhausted.
Her head was lowered, and her expression told him immediately that something had gone wrong
Marcus stood up. “What happened p>
Julia stopped in front of him and shook her head.
“I couldn’t convince them p>
Marcus frowned. “They refused p>
Julia nodded. “Nobody wants to listen. They said the doctor already confirmed the cause of death, and they don’t want anyone interfering anymore p>
She paused and looked toward the end of the corridor.
“They’re even planning the funeral for tomorrow p>
Marcus’s expression became serious. why would do they everything that fast.
Julia sighed heavily. “Everything is happening so fast. They just want to bury him and move on p>
Marcus remained quiet.
Julia suddenly remembered something and reached into her handbag.
“But I managed to get these p>
She pulled out her phone and opened several pictures before handing it to Marcus.
“I took them when nobody was paying attention. I couldn’t stop them from taking him away, but I managed to get pictures of his neck, his hands, and his face p>
Marcus carefully examined the pictures.
He zoomed in on the purple mark around Mr. Alfred’s neck. Then he moved to another picture showing the old man’s hand and another showing his face.
His eyes narrowed.
“This will do.” Marcus handed the phone back to her. “I can do some investigating with these. If someone poisoned him, there may be something in these pictures that can help me figure out what happened p>
Julia stared at the images again.
“Who would kill Grandfather p>
Marcus shook his head. Cluelessly.

Jessica noticed the change. “What is it p>
Jackson leaned slightly toward her.
“I need your help with something p>
