Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 330

Isabel trusted Julian.

Given how he had protected her recently, she had no reason to doubt him.

But Edmund… she really didn’t know him.

She had been present on two occasions when he used his pills and hadn't smelled any harmful gases.

Could it have been when she was locked in the room? Maybe he released something then, and Oliver happened to be in the Grey Zone and inhaled it by accident?

But that was a long time ago. Wouldn't the onset of symptoms be a bit slow?

Wait.

What if it was colorless, odorless, and administered in small doses over time?

It wasn't impossible.

He was a genius, after all. He couldn't be underestimated.

She typed: [I know I shouldn’t suspect a six-or-seven-year-old boy, but…]

She felt that wasn't right, so she deleted it and asked instead: [What’s Edmund’s real identity? Admiral Hawke seemed to be very polite to him.]

Julian had seen Isabel's earlier message about Oliver's condition being caused by inhaling an unknown gas.

He knew that with Adrian’s prodding, she would inevitably become suspicious.

Edmund might act innocent and even be kind to her, but he was still a relative stranger.

Moreover, she had witnessed Edmund's talent for pharmacology firsthand.

He couldn't be treated as just a child.

She had also experienced the effects of the pills he had used before.

As for Edmund’s identity, there was no reason she couldn't know.

It just wouldn't change much whether she knew or not.
