Bleeding Heart Poison Novels & Stories

Blanche and I sat in silence. "However, if I ordered Blanche to carry out a fresh battery of tests and she got in her plant expert friend from Kew Gardens, they would identify traces of a deadly poison in his stomach. The toxin will come from a rare Chinese flowering plant called gelsemium nicknamed heartbreak grass because its leaves trigger cardiac arrest if ingested." "How do you know all this?" "Because the Assistant Commissioner told me before I got here on how all this is going to pan out." "So, we're buggered before we even start," I say.

"Don't worry—I know a thing or two about poison myself. There's no telling who would win this." Vicky rubbed her forehead exasperatedly—no one could change Frank's mind once he made his choice! Just then, Paul took a small bottle from his pouch, stroking his beard and saying nonchalantly, "This is called the Heartblazer. Just five grams can kill a person—I've perfected it over twenty years by gathering every toxic herb in the world. It's tasteless and odorless, so it's hard to detect. Only I have it, having concocted just the fifty grams you can see here."

"So Garrett was telling the truth." "We ran additional blood work on you. There are traces of a rare compound in your system. It is called Cardiotoxin-7. This substance mainly targets damaged heart valves and speeds up calcification. In someone with a pre-existing defect like yours, it would cause rapid deterioration while appearing to be natural disease progression." Nadia made a small sound beside me. "Someone really did poison him." "How long has this been in my system?" I asked. "Based on the levels we detected I would estimate you have been exposed regularly for approximately three months. Small doses that accumulated over time."

“We were able to flush out the poison. But because it stayed long in your system, it did some damage to your body. Symptoms might not appear until the damage is severe. That toxin, whatever it is, is something I have never seen before. Dale once mentioned it being called, ‘Makish al haolan’. I’ve searched for it, but it brings out zero results, just like when you search Umbra on the web. It’s like it doesn’t even exist, yet it does.” Samuel pauses before he continues. “This toxin can disrupt the electrical signals of the heart and damage the heart muscle directly. This often results in arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) or a sudden drop in blood pressure that leads to shock and heart failure

It turned out that Briley had planted two poisonous plants in the small garden of Anna's mother. One was called Ghost Nightshade , whose fruit resembled small tomatoes, and the other was a plant commonly known as Drunken Heart Flower, which was highly toxic—its scent alone could cause hallucinations. Years ago, Briley had visited her pregnant sister, Tiffany, and intentionally picked some Ghost Nightshade fruits, mixing them into a bowl of small tomatoes to trick her sister into eating them. Just two of those fruits were enough to kill a child, as their toxicity was immense.

"And?" "It’s a rare poison. Derived from an antelope species that hasn’t been hunted legally for decades. Banned across regions. It stops the heart instantly. Freezes the blood cells and cuts all body activities in a matter of minutes." "Poison?" Talon asked, eyes narrowing. "Are you absolutely sure about what you are talking about?"

He said, “He had been struck by two arrows and had lost a lot of blood. Worst of all, someone seemed to have driven a toxic spear through him. It’s not deep enough to damage the organs inside but that toxin… we’ve identified it to be a cardiotoxin, it’s very dangerous for the heart.” “Is he going to live?” “Only if we administer the anti-dote.” He said, “But Alpha, we do not have the antidote available.” I looked away from him again, watching the dried blood on my hands. I could still sense how he felt against my skin, moments before he lost consciousness. I could hear the agony in his wolf’s growls as I rubbed soothing circles on his mane. I had visually seen him lose his life in my arms.

I replied. Malcolm cleared his throat “this substance makes the heart beat slower and reduce the amount of blood being pumped” “This is a powerful poison, once mixed in water and touched on any part of the skin it affects the body, especially the heart” “This causes a heart attack and the individual who experiences a heart attack from this can never survive”. With fear I asked Malcolm to take the briefcase off the table. I don't want anything that will cause harm to me. Malcolm chuckled. He looked so dubious and cunning, just staring at Malcolm alone made my blood boil and I felt like strangling him to death at that point.

, That was a really long time. “Just from a knife wound?" I wondered aloud. “The blade was poisoned with wolfsbane. Since it was in your blood, it spread quickly to your organs but thankfully, it didn't reach your heart.” I was poisoned with wolfsbane? Memories of the last challenge came rushing back into my brain, I gasped suddenly.

"Someone has been poisoning you." “Do you know how many specialists have stood in your place?” Damien questioned. “Probably too many and every one of them was wrong” Seraphina said meeting his gaze Everyone was stunned. The air was very calm and heavy. "Professor Goodwealth suspected toxic exposure months ago." Dr. Carter said. "But we never found enough evidence to prove it. "Because everyone focused on managing the symptoms." She further explained "Nobody investigated the source." “The poison was meant to degenerate the cardiac tissues over time” she said further.
