Chapter 324: Foolish Justin
Fiona wouldn’t foolishly rush to the hospital. She first checked the news about Meredith’s hospitalization, which had been posted just half an hour ago.
She called Justin, planning to drag him with her to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Justin had just arrived at the reservoir with Terrence when his phone rang, showing Fiona’s call.
“Answer it,” Terrence commanded, knowing it was Fiona without Justin saying.
It was a command tone of someone used to being in charge.
Instinctively obeying, Justin answered. Fiona spoke, “Justin, did you see the news? Meredith is hospitalized, seems like she miscarried.”
“What? Meredith miscarried?” Justin was shocked, instinctively looking at Terrence.
No wonder Terrence was in a bad mood today; Meredith had an accident.
Justin was about to ask Terrence about Meredith when Terrence gestured for him to keep quiet, indicating not to reveal his presence.
Justin understood, though he didn’t know why, and continued the facade.
“You go ahead to thehospital, I’m tied up right now. I’ll get there as soon as I can,” Justin lied.
“Then I’ll wait for you. You’re at the office, right? I’ll come there to find you…”
“I’m not at the office; I’m out,” Justin interrupted, “Wait for my call in a bit.”
Anxious, Justin wanted to ask Terrence what was really happening, prompting him to quickly end the call with Fiona.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After hanging up, Justin urgently asked Terrence, “Has something happened to Meredith?”
“Do you really not know?” Terrence’s face was stern, his voice icy, “Did my grandmother drink the formula milk you brought Meredith?”
“Yes, she did.” Justin was confused, failing to see the connection to the elderly woman drinking the formula.
Terrence’s voice grew harsher, “My grandmother is now in the hospital, suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea because of that formula. The doctors found it contained abortion-inducing drugs.”
“Abortion?” Justin was stunned, “How? I bought that formula from the store, it’s specifically for pregnant women, and it was brand new, unopened. How could it have abortion drugs in it?”
“Are you sure you bought it from a store? Did you buy it yourself?” Terrence pressed.
Justin earnestly replied, “I bought it myself, personally picked.”
Terrence grabbed Justin by the collar, his tone turning cold, “Then I need to ask, Justin, what were your intentions in giving Meredith formula laced with abortion drugs?”
“No, I would never harm Meredith.” Justin hurriedly explained, “You have to believe me, Terrence. How could I hurt Meredith? We grew up together, like siblings, let alone harm her unborn child. There must be some mistake.”
Terrence released Justin, “I’ll give you a chance to think. Did anyone else touch the formula you gave Meredith?”
Justin thought back, “I bought it at the store and brought it straight home. Only the store clerk handled it. It’s not possible for the clerk to sell formula mixed with abortion drugs.”
Seeing how naive Justin was, Terrence directly asked, “Did you see Fiona before you delivered the items to Meredith?”
“Yes,” Justin responded without catching on, “Yesterday, after I bought the items, Fiona was at my place. She saw me getting ready to visit Meredith and wanted to come along. We went together this morning, but Fiona left halfway through to go back to work.”
