Chapter 843 The Conundrum at Cadmus Lake

Matthew thoughtfully looked at Crystal for a moment before he corrected as he slowly shook his head, “No, the problem traces back to Cadmus Lake!”

As she was taken aback by this revelation, she asked, “Why?”

He did not elaborate any further. The case in hand had something to do with the voodoo clan in Orleans. In truth, he would rather Crystal stay out of the matter entirely because the situation was somewhat similar to the one that happened to Leanna’s best friend.

The centipedes that plagued Leanna’s best friend for years had turned her into a live bait for other insects to nest within her body and Matthew’s current patient happened to share the same affliction.

These centipedes were free-range, and unless one intentionally consumed them, they would not attack without any instructions from the one who raised them.

That being said, such a presumption wouldn’t necessarily apply to patients whose bodies had naturally lured these centipedes.

In particular, this patient had gone fishing with a few of his friends, but he was the only one being poisoned, which showed that he was essentially a worm bait.

Matthew presently glanced at the time and saw that it was premature for him to visit Cadmus Lake. Therefore, he proceeded to check on two other patients—one of whom had centipedes attacking his system and the other a strange ailment.
