After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret Chapter 236: Never Suspected Her

She had originally planned to keep Wyatt Jacobs alive until Liam Grant returned, hoping she could use him to eliminate Wyatt.

But as things stood, Wyatt Jacobs was a liability.

She hadn’t expected Wyatt Jacobs to know about the "City of Zombie" in Keldorn.

Fortunately, he hadn’t revealed it to anyone yet.

Early morning.

A new figure appeared in the small courtyard, but it was one no one could see.

Treasure’s ears perked up, and it stood.

It sniffed a familiar scent, tilting its head in confusion.

Then, as if it understood sothing, it wagged its tail and returned to its doghouse...

「Inside the Enforcent Bureau.」

A staff mber pushed a food cart, making their usual delivery rounds.

Nina Jacobs, still invisible, stood by a door.

As the staff mber delivered the al, she dripped a few drops of a potion into a bowl of porridge...

...

That morning, the treatnt room at the base hospital was bustling with activity.

Healers were taking turns treating a poisoned inmate.

But the numbers on the monitor were far from encouraging.

"His condition is still deteriorating. The poison is too potent; the healing technique is most likely useless."

A male doctor in a white coat said, shaking his head.

"Doctor Lynch, is there really no other way?"

"He’s still awaiting trial. Can’t you just keep him alive for a few more days?"

York was already drenched in sweat.

An inmate awaiting trial had been poisoned. This was the Enforcent Bureau’s problem.

"He’s already confessed and signed the papers anyway. It’ll be fine, right?"

Sherry Renner said reassuringly from the side.

"Just be quiet!"

"I’m just asking if he can be kept alive for a few more days!"

York asked again, his voice strained with anxiety.

The doctor shook his head. "We’ve tried everything. I’m very sorry."

"Nina! You’re here."

Seeing her arrive, Sherry Renner quickly waved her over.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "How is he?"

Soone from the Enforcent Bureau had just notified her to co to the hospital. They said Wyatt Jacobs wasn’t going to make it and wanted to see her one last ti.

In truth, Nina Jacobs hadn’t wanted to co.

She had been using her Five Senses Enhancent to monitor the situation from a floor above.

She already knew Wyatt Jacobs was beyond saving.

It was the sa poison she had taken from the Ice Ability User, Dariel Young, during the mission to rescue Holden Shaw.

She hadn’t been sure of the poison’s efficacy and had planned to return to finish the job after her Invisibility Potion wore off.

But now, it seed that wouldn’t be necessary.

"Sigh... The doctor says he’s not going to make it,"

Sherry Renner replied, shaking her head.

"It’s you?"

The doctor in the white coat removed his mask, his face lighting up with pleasant surprise as he looked at Nina Jacobs.

"You’re... Doctor Lynch?"

Nina Jacobs almost didn’t recognize him.

Back in Hawthorne Village in City J, it was Easton Lynch who had treated Wayne Warner and prescribed two types of dicine for them.

"You two know each other?"

Sherry Renner asked curiously.

"Yes. Miss Jacobs saved and the people I was traveling with back then. She saved all of us,"

Easton Lynch replied.

"So, this Miss Jacobs is quite the good Samaritan."

A voice spoke up from behind them.

Nina Jacobs’s heart skipped a beat. ’It’s Heath Chandler.’

’Why is he here?’

Though she was worried, Nina Jacobs composed her features into a suitable expression.

"And you are?"

She looked at Heath Chandler. Several others stood behind him.

Including Adrian Shaw.

"He is Ian Chandler’s father, Heath Chandler."

"We ca to check on Wyatt Jacobs’s condition,"

Adrian Shaw explained.

"Mr. Chandler, you know my cousin?" Nina asked deliberately.

"I wouldn’t say I know him. I’m just curious as to why he was poisoned."

"The last person to see him yesterday was you, wasn’t it?"

Heath Chandler had originally planned to visit Wyatt Jacobs in a couple of days.

He hadn’t expected Wyatt Jacobs to be poisoned so soon after his arrival.

According to his information, the last person to see Wyatt Jacobs before the incident was Nina Jacobs.

Heath Chandler didn’t know Nina Jacobs, but when he voiced his suspicion, he found everyone around him giving him strange looks.

"Sir, Miss Jacobs risked her life to save over a hundred of us."

"I’m certain she would never do sothing like this!"

Easton Lynch said.

Nina Jacobs hadn’t just saved them; she had also left them with ample supplies and even told them the way to a shelter.

’How could such a kind person possibly poison soone?’

"Then I can vouch for Nina, too."

"She saved my life as well,"

Sherry Renner chid in.

"Ahem, Mr. Chandler, please don’t take this the wrong way,"

"but actually..."

Adrian Shaw wanted to say that Nina had saved his life, too, as well as Ian Chandler’s.

But Nina Jacobs didn’t let him continue.

"I did see him yesterday."

"I am willing to cooperate with any investigation,"

Nina Jacobs said, her expression unchanging.

"Nina, the patient is fading fast! He said he wants to see you!"

A nurse, Josie Joyce, ran out, her face etched with anxiety.

Most of Heath Chandler’s suspicions had already dissipated.

He had no evidence to begin with.

"Go on and see him."

He followed behind Nina Jacobs.

Seeing this, Nina Jacobs simply nodded.

Inside the room, Wyatt Jacobs’s face was ashen. The poison had already seeped into his vital organs.

But when he saw the people behind Nina Jacobs, he forced out the words:

"Get out... I only want to see her."

"Let’s go."

Heath Chandler sighed.

In his eyes, there was no way Nina Jacobs could be the one who poisoned him.

Nina Jacobs frowned as she looked at Wyatt Jacobs.

’Does he suspect ?’

But in the next mont, Wyatt Jacobs spoke.

"I’m sorry, Nina. I’m so sorry..."

Seeing Nina’s uncomprehending gaze, Wyatt Jacobs continued,

"I should have saved you back then."

"You saved so many tis..."

"In this world, only you... COUGH, COUGH... have ever treated with genuine kindness."

Wyatt Jacobs coughed up a mouthful of dark blood, and his face grew even paler.

"That’s right... you don’t know anything at all."

"It’s better this way. Much better."

"Nina, I heard you have a new little sister. Congratulations..."

"I actually had a gift prepared for you..."

"Oh, right, Nina. Tell that Shaw guy... not to trust Liam Grant too much."

"He’s an incredibly ambitious, yet... yet incompetent fool."

"He couldn’t succeed in our last life, and he won’t succeed in this one either, hehehe..."

"He’ll definitely get his... his just desserts..."

Wyatt Jacobs suddenly began to gasp, struggling for breath.

"You don’t suspect who poisoned you?"

Nina asked.

’Is he repenting to ?’

She had co here fully prepared for him to expose her.

She never expected to hear this instead.

"Heh... Who cares."

Wyatt Jacobs let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He couldn’t be bothered to think about it anymore.

"Nina, you have to live on, no matter what."

"Don’t trust... don’t trust anyone ever again..."

The monitor beside the bed let out a long, piercing wail.

When the others rushed in, they found that Wyatt Jacobs was already gone.

Nina Jacobs sat beside him, completely still.

"Nina, are you okay?"

Sherry Renner couldn’t help but ask softly.

For so reason, she felt there was sothing strange about the sight of Nina’s back.

"Don’t bother her right now. No matter what kind of person Wyatt Jacobs was,"

"they were still family."

Daniel Hale and Leo Hale had also arrived.

"I’m fine."

Nina Jacobs stood up, her expression as impassive as ever.

’She just hadn’t expected it. Even in death, Wyatt Jacobs hadn’t suspected her.’

’It left her feeling montarily unsettled.’

"Nina, I brought you so red bean cakes and peach juice."

Outside the door, Ian Chandler and the others were already waiting.

Besides Ian Chandler, Chase Gallagher and Jessica Vance were there as well.

Even Chester Pearson was there.

"You guys..."

Nina Jacobs was taken aback for a mont, and then the trace of turmoil in her heart vanished.
