Chapter 121
In a matter of moments, everyone had fallen and was lying on the ground. This included Tiffany. She also laid in suffering on the ground, hugging her stomach weakly while screaming, “It hurts… It hurts so much. Please help…” That pitiful voice and her forehead covered in sweat did not look like an act.
The organizers reacted quickly. Mr. Dalmore loudly ordered,“ Stop the music! Doctor! Call the doctors!” The background music stopped and the assistants reorganized the stage so that all the platforms originally set at different heights were now uniform.
The first thing Charmine did was to walk toward the model lying closest to her and kneel down beside her. It was Eunice! Eunice was curled into a ball on the ground but when she saw Charmine walking toward her, all she wanted was for Charmine to get lost! However, Eunice was so crippled with pain that she could not speak.
Charmine knelt down and reached out her hand to touch Eunice’s forehead and feel her pulse. Eunice’s assistant saw Charmine’s actions and immediately moved up to push her away, sneering, “Do you think you’re a doctor? Stay away from my Eunice!”
Charmine was pushed while kneeling. Because of this, she lost her balance easily and fell to the ground. However, she did not seem to mind as she sat there, one leg bent and her hand strewn carelessly over her leg as she said, “There’s no need to worry, it’s only a case of acute food poisoning caused by a type of halophilic bacteria. It’ll resolve on its own after 2 days.”
Aida could not understand a word that Charmine said. However seeing Charmine’s casual countenance, she angrily spat out, “Looking at you now, you’re clearly not in pain. Can’t you see how much they’re suffering?”
“Exactly. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, you should hold your tongue. Don’t pretend to be all knowledgeable.” Kelly’s assistant joined in to scold Charmine a s well. Everyone there did not have a good impression of Charmine.
In a short amount of time, Anthony had sorted things out with the organizers, arranging for the audience to leave the area. H e gazed in Charmine’s direction and said to Nial, “Go check on them immediately.” (This Novel Daily Latest Chapters provide it www.InfoBagh.Com)
“It’s not my sister-in-law who’s sick. What are you worrying about? Don’t you have other doctors for this?” Nial stood and teased. Even though he was a doctor, he rarely attended to patients personally.
Anthony rebutted by saying, “It’s exactly because she’s not sick which makes the matter complicated.”
Nial was stunned. He appeared to understand Anthony’s concern and immediately rushed forward to check on each supermodel. After he took a history of their symptoms, Nial said with a solemn face, “It’s a case of acute food poisoning
caused by a type of halophilic bacteria.”
As this was the second time Aida had heard that phrase, she asked curiously, “What do you mean when you say ‘halophilic bacteria’?”
“Halophilic bacteria is also known as vibrio parahaemolyticus. It’s a kind of bacteria that can cause severe pain in the upper abdomen and diarrhea. It is a gram-negative polymorphic bacillus. The best medium to support its growth is a medium containing three percent salt, and it can survive for more than forty-seven days in seawater.
“Because of this, it is used as a poison in some black markets because it’s tasteless and can be stored easily. It does not endanger human life but can cause extreme pain,” Nial said with an air of expertise.
Everyone was surprised at his words. “That means that the matter is not as simple as food poisoning from eating spoiled food, but that we were deliberately poisoned?”
“Who… Who would poison so many of us?”
“We’ve not eaten much today…”
The models were all laying in their assistants’ arms as they discussed the issue weakly. At this moment, Kelly exclaimed,“ We all ate straw… Strawberries…”
Strawberries!
“That’s right, Faye brought us strawberries…”
“But all of us ate the strawberries, so why is Charmine alright?” Veronica Ramos asked in a faint voice. (This Novel Daily Latest Chapters provide it www.InfoBagh.Com)
All eyes in the room landed upon Charmine. In that moment of chaos, all the models were in so much pain that their faces were contorted uglily, some even crying. However, Charmine alone looked untouched and unperturbed as she sat in a casual manner.
Tiffany’s face went white with fear as she swiftly turned toward Veronica to say, “Veronica, don’t spread nonsense! It can’t be my sister. I know that we’ve had our differences but she would never do something like this!” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“You’re right…” responded Veronica meekly.
Nevertheless, all the other models had already heard what was said by Veronica and their suspicions grew. Kelly glared at Charmine and said, “Charmine, it was you… You’re the one who did it! Am I right? It’s because we bullied you as a group, that’s why you hate us and want revenge!”
