Chapter 1369

Forgotten

Whenever the military talked about both of them, they would be full of praises and admiration.

The soldier followed Sasha closely.

Luckily, they discovered more borage after a while.

Delighted, Sasha plucked some and took out her silver needle.

The soldier watched curiously by the side.

When Sasha rubbed the needle against the borage, something strange happened—the tip of the
needle turned green.

“Why is this happening?”

She was stunned for a while.

The soldier asked, “Is there a problem, Mrs. Jadeson?”

Sasha replied, “I had taken this silver needle from Hugh. As it’s stained with his blood, I wanted to use
it to test the herb’s medicinal effects. Why did it become green upon having contact with the borage?”

The soldier was confused. “Huh?”

Being completely clueless about this, he did not know how to respond.

As they had already entered the depths of the island and their phones did not have signals, they could
not contact anyone else.

After deliberating about it, Sasha decided to leave with the herbs first.



After an hour, she texted the Hayeses WhatsApp group.

Sasha: Is anyone at Frontier Bay?

Ichika: I’m here, Sha!

Ichika always managed to appear immediately.

Sasha had just left the hill. When she saw the text, her eyes lit up and she quickly typed a response.

Sasha: Ichika, can you go to my bedroom and look for a book called the ‘Encyclopedia of Medicinal
Herbs’?

Ichika: Sure.

Ichika stopped whatever she was doing and ran upstairs.

When the other members in the group chat read the message, they responded too.

Sabrina: What are you doing, Sasha? Are you so bored on that island that you’re researching your
lame herbs again?

Devin: Don’t be mad, Sasha. She’s just blunt.

Sabrina: …

Sebastian: I’m on the way back. Wait for me to return first.

Devin: …

Sabrina: …

Rufus: …



Jonathan: …

When Solomon, who was in the office on the top floor of Hayes Corporation, read the messages, he
stopped typing and grabbed his phone.

Solomon: What happened?

The entire group chat panicked when they read that.

Meanwhile, Sasha did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Why is he making things so dramatic? Everyone’s scared now!

Sasha: Everything’s fine. Don’t be scared by what he said. An engineer in the research institute
suddenly got poisoned, so I went foraging for some herbs. According to my diagnosis, his condition is
supposed to stabilize after taking those herbs. However, when I tested those herbs, I discovered
something weird.

Everyone was stunned.

So, Sasha is acting as a substitute doctor on that island!

Everyone’s panic disappeared after reading that. They started to discuss the issue.

Solomon: What’s weird?

Rufus: Yeah, tell us. If you still don’t know, I can ask Jackson and Sharon.

Sabrina: Come on then, tell us! What happened?

Everyone urged her.



When Sasha read their messages, she took a picture of the silver needle and the herb.

In the end…

Solomon: Isn’t that verdigris? Has he been chemically poisoned?

Sasha: Huh?

Devin: Looks like it. Normal poison won’t cause such a color. If it isn’t chemical poisoning, then it’s
probably heavy metal poisoning.

Solomon: Wait, I’ll contact Haruto.

He immediately called Haruto, who was in Jetroina.

When Ichika finally found the encyclopedia and sent a picture of it, she realized that no one in the
group chat replied to her for a few minutes.

Was I of no help?

Ichika, who was sweating profusely from searching for the book, rushed downstairs excitedly. When
she saw what was happening, she felt a bit disappointed.

Someone finally responded on the group chat after around ten minutes.

Solomon: I asked him and he said that it’s heavy metal poisoning. Sasha, tell the research institute to
investigate it carefully. The engineer might have been in contact with something. Haruo advised you to
check for zinc.

Sasha: Zinc?



After sending the message, she fell silent on the group chat for a long time.

Meanwhile, Ichika kept holding the book that Sasha wanted initially. She stared at her phone, not
knowing if she should chime in.

Should I ask Sha if she still needs the book? But everyone in the group chat seems to have forgotten
about me.

After Solomon texted that, everyone started discussing it.

Zinc poisoning was a slow-acting poison. Unlike heavy metal poisoning, it was not immediately fatal.
Furthermore, in one’s daily life, it was rare for objects to contain so much zinc that it would cause
poisoning.

Hence, everyone discussed this issue enthusiastically in the group chat.

Within a few minutes, the message that Ichika had sent became overshadowed by the other
messages.
