NovelOnlineThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 563: Poisoned"Ethan, what‘s on your mind?"
Jlooked at her gloomy husband questioningly.
Ethan was sitting quietly on the sofa with furrowed brows and a deep–set frown.
"Anything wrong?"
Jpursed her lips worriedly.
"Nothing.It‘s just work.I rushed here straight from work when I heard you were in the hospital," Ethan answered perfunctorily.
"You should go back then.I’ll be fine here."Jsmiled.
Just then, the door to the ward swung open.
"Janet! Are you feeling better?"
Garrett strode in with several bags of tonics.
Seeing so many people in the ward, he stopped in his tracks and said sorry.
Bearing gifts, he walked over to Ethan on the sofa.
Garrett‘s sharp eyes picked up on Ethan‘s gloominess instantly.He lowered his voice and asked, "What‘s wrong?"
I was in bed, and then looked back at Ethan.
"Janet‘s fine.What‘s with the long face?" Ethan didn‘t answer.
In a low voice, he said to Garret, "Let‘s talk outside."
As he spoke, he stood up and headed for the door.
Once outside, he took out his phone and called Frank "You haven‘t contactedin months.I thought you‘ve forgotten all about
me."
Frank‘s tone was flat and blunt.
Perhaps he was still angry that Garrett and Ethan hadn‘t called him since they moved to Barnes.
"I‘ll ask my assistant to book you a flight.I need you to cto Barnes right away."
Without saying anything more, he hung up before Frank could respond.Overhearing Ethan‘s conversation just now, Garrett
realized the gravity of the situation.
"Is Jsick?"
"No." Ethan shook his head.His eyes were as dark and cloudy as the night sky.
"The murderer from twenty years ago has resurfaced."
After saying that, he went back to the ward and gave sinstructions to the attending medical staff.
"Please draw sof her blood and save it for testing."
Everyone looked at Ethan in confusion.
Jalso frowned and asked, "Why? What‘s wrong?"
"There‘s something I just want to check."

Frank landed in Bames around midnight, and Ethan cto pick him up personally.
"What‘s up? You sounded really serious on the phone earlier,"Frank asked.
Ethan handed Janet‘s blood sample to him and said, "Check if there‘s anything suspicious.can get you any test equipment you
need."
Frank took the blood sample, confused, but didn‘t ask more questions.
A few days later, Frank called Ethan with the results.His voice sounded surprised.
"Whose blood did you give me? There are trace amounts of poison in it.Whoever owns this blood was poisoned."
When Ethan received Frank‘s phone call, he was at hwith Janet.
When he heard what Frank had to say, his expression hardened.
"Wait," he said to Frank in a low voice.
Ever since Jwas discharged from the hospital, she had been given a short holiday so that she could properly recuperate at
home.
Jdidn‘t think there was anything seriously wrong with her.
Still, she was glad to have stoff to keep Ethan company.
"Stay put in bed, honey," Ethan said to Jgently.
"I‘ll be right back."
After tucking her in, Ethan stood up and left the room, making sure to close the door behind him.He went downstairs and
continued his conversation with Frank on the phone.
"What kind of poison are we talking about?"
