Chapter 35

After a sleepless night filled with pain and agony, I'd gone to a private doctor of mine to check what was wrong when it felt like my insides were on fire. It was Polonium 210 poisoning, that too after wasting precious time carrying other tests for other sorts of poisons because from what I'd learned, the poison was a master of disguise. You couldn't find it unless you went looking.
