Chapter 38
Ezra, lying weakly on the small bed, let Jameson put him on an anti-allergic drip.
After that, he felt increasingly sleepy and fell asleep accidentally.
When William entered the room, Ezra was lying on the bed, put on a drip, looking quite pitiful.
Feeling nervous, William hurriedly went up to Ezra with big strides.
He asked, “What’s going on? Why does he suddenly have a fever?”
“William, take it easy. I’ve found the reason, but I think it’s complicated. Someone fed Luci ginger,”
Jameson replied.
“What?” William said with a cold face, unable to hide the trace of shock in his eyes.
Someone fed his son ginger under his nose?
The person must be tired of living!
“You didn’t mishear it. I think you should make a thorough investigation into this. Luci has been allergic
to ginger since he was a baby. Everyone in the Kinsman family, even including the female cleaner,
knows that. However, Luci has an allergy because of ginger at this moment!” Jameson said seriously,
which was rare.
Over the years, Jameson had watched Luci grow up gradually, and had dealt with all kinds of health
problems the kid had ever had. For him, Luci was a professional work of art even more important than
his own son!
He was extremely displeased that someone dared to hurt Luci!
“I’ll find out the culprit. Take good care of Luci. Inform me as soon as he wakes up!” William said.
“Okay, Luci missed you before he fell asleep. He presumably felt uncomfortable and wanted you to
accompany him,” Jameson said casually, but his words stirred up William’s feelings.
The first time he discovered that Luci had an allergy was when Luci was more than one year old.
Back then, the little guy had just begun to eat normal food, but suddenly had a fever.
William was panic-stricken and extremely worried, even at a loss what to do.
It was Gianna who had accompanied him and Luci.
At that time, he was very grateful to her, thinking that Luci could only grow up safely with her around.
But now it seemed that Luci didn’t like Gianna and was even a little afraid of her. Moreover, in the past
two years, Luci had several accidental allergies. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
How did Luci get through all this?
Every time Luci had an allergy, he had a fever and a sore throat, and felt uncomfortable all over.
He was miserable and pitiful and his face turned pale during this time.
However, he just sent Gianna, whom Luci was afraid of and had an aversion to, to accompany Luci!
Every time he heard from Gianna that Luci was fine and had fallen asleep and he should not disturb
Luci, he put his mind at ease.
William couldn’t imagine how sad Luci, who could not speak at that time, had been and how many
grievances Luci had swallowed silently.
As Luci’s father, he was too careless!
A surge of guilt and self-blame made him feel as if he was breathing in pain.
After receiving an internal call, the butler Ivan appeared in front of William in the living room as fast as
he could.
“Ivan, do you know there is ginger in the house recently?” William asked.
“Ginger? How could it be possible? Young Mr. Kinsman is allergic to ginger, which makes ginger
prohibited in the Kinsman family! Ah, Mr. Kinsman, do you mean that young Mr. Kinsman has a fever
because he is allergic?” Ivan replied.
Realizing what William meant, he immediately became nervous.
Who dared to hurt young Mr. Kinsman who was treasured like a jewel of inestimable value in the
Kinsman family?
“Yes, Ivan, so please find out how Luci was fed with ginger and who brought it here. I want to get the
result within an hour.” William said.
“Rest a**ured, Mr. Kinsman. I’m going to make an investigation right away. The person, who dared to
hurt young Mr. Kinsman in our house, is probably tired of living!” Ivan said furiously. After excusing
himself, he immediately led some serv ants to make an investigation
Then William, who sat with his legs crossed, stood up and intended to go to Luci’s room to check on
him.

At this time, Marshall came back from outside in a great hurry and said, “Mr. Kinsman, I have checked
the car in Valenfield Street, finding that someone had tampered with it, which caused the explosion.
The scene of the accident was catastrophic, but according to the latest news I got, there were no
casualties. That is to say…”
“The woman escaped? William came to a conclusion subconsciously, deep in thought with knitted
brows.
“Yes, the situation seemed to be very dangerous at that time. If the woman was not very lucky, she
must have received professional training. Otherwise, it was impossible for a normal person to escape
unscathed at such a critical moment!” Marshall continued, giving a comprehensive analysis of the
whole thing.
As William listened to Marshall’s analysis, he found that the woman was very likely to be Olivia.
He asked, “Where is Olivia?”
Marshall answered, “She seems to be in the hospital.”
“Oh? She got injured? William said and focused his deep and brown eyes upon something with an
obscure look, thinking, “What a coincidence.”
“I’m not sure. Mr. Kinsman, do you suspect that the woman is Olivia?” Marshall said.
“Go and find out where Olivia went tonight. Also, find out who wanted to kill her,” William said.
“Mr. Kinsman, are you trying to help her?” Marshall asked.
“Marshall!” William said.
“Yes, Mr. Kinsman,” Marshall replied.
“You are a little talkative today,” William said.
“Oh, I still have something to do. I’m leaving now!” Marshall said.
Feeling William’s repressive air, Marshall ran away immediately!
After Marshall left, William went upstairs to Lucian’s room.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Ivan holding a little yellow duck toy nervously.
At the sight of William, Ivan immediately went up to him and reported, “Mr. Kinsman, I find that it smells
like ginger.”
“Where did you get it?” William asked. He remembered that Luci often held a Bally recently.
Exactly. Seeing that Luci liked Bally, he had specially learned about its information and ordered a set of
custom-made Bally toys as a gift for Luci.
He had never seen this little yellow duck toy before.
“Mrs. Clarke sent someone to deliver it here in the afternoon, saying that she felt sorry for scaring
young Mr. Kinsman last time and it was a gift for him. Back then, I undoubtedly checked it carefully, but
didn’t find it smelled like ginger. Why does it smell like ginger now?” Ivan said, upset by his mistake.
This was the second time that young Mr. Kinsman had been trapped in his home under Ivan’s
protection!
Ivan, who had worked as a butler for so many years, had never made such a mistake. This was simply
a burning shame on him!
William took the little yellow duck toy, sniffed it carefully, and then opened up a ga sh on its back.
Instantly, a small paper parcel as big as a silver coin fell out of the toy.
Ivan hurried to pick it up and found that it contained some ginger powder that seemed to have been
soaked in water, only leaving a residue!
“I can’t believe she hid ginger powder in the toy! She is utterly detestable! Mr. Kinsman, it’s all my fault.
I should have checked it more carefully. My carelessness gave her, who had an ulterior motive, an
opportunity to hurt young Mr. Kinsman, Ivan said.
“That’s a smart move. The little yellow duck toy had no smell without being soaked in water. As soon as
it was soaked in water, the ginger powder dissolved, seeped through the dense small holes poked in
the toy, and spread on the skin of those who touched it,” as William spoke, he became increasingly
sullen
Mrs Clarke indeed had surprised him again and again!
But why? In any case, Luci was the grandson of the Clarke family. How could she be ruthless enough
to do that?
Back then, she did not regard Olivia as her daughter, and now she did not regard Luci as her grandson
either. Why did she
do that?
“Ivan, go and inform the Clarke family that Mrs. Clarke is invited to Luci’s birthday party three days
later,” William said
“Okay, Mr. Kinsman!” Ivan replied.

“Since Mrs. Clarke likes ginger powder, just keep it for her, William said.
