Chapter 566 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
In the quaint town of Willow Creek, Dr. James was determined to uncover the mystery behind Tavon's recent stroke. After two thorough examinations, James finally pinpointed the cause: poisoning.
Herman glanced at the lab report, eyebrows knitted in concern. "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely," James confirmed. "It's a common toxin but one of the hardest to detect. It requires prolonged exposure in just the right dosage to cause a stroke."
"What kind of poison are we dealing with?" Herman asked.
"Cyanide."
"That's not something you just stumble upon. A little digging should lead us to the source."
James shook his head. "If you know even a little about it, you can extract it yourself. Apple seeds, for instance. Should I give Thomas a heads-up?"
Herman thought for a moment and then said, "You mentioned it requires long-term exposure. The dosage must be carefully controlled too, right? Too much and it would kill outright, not just cause a stroke."
"Exactly, it's a delicate balance," James replied. "Someone without the know-how would likely mess it up."
"Tavon didn't suspect anything? Anyone in the family?" Herman speculated.
"We should probably discuss this with Thomas," James said, his expression serious. "We don't know the assailant's motive yet. It could be an attempted murder gone wrong, or maybe the stroke was the intended outcome."
"Right," Herman acknowledged. "How long before he's back on his feet?"
"He'll be moving about in a month," James mentioned. "I've upped the medication to speed up the detox."
"Thanks, Doc."
"And it's not all for naught—I’ve taken on an apprentice, which is a win in my book," James added with a chuckle. "By the way, I’ll deduct the wedding gift from your consultation fee."
