The Light to My Darkness (The Light to My Darkness #1)

Wow. Didn’t expect to hear that. What a blow to hear those words and potentially to have James lose his whole world in that statement.

"There is no easy way to put this, so I'll be frank with you, Mr. Hunter," he said as he came to a stop, out of earshot of my family. "There were high levels of poison in her blood. We pumped her stomach, but we're not sure how long it's been in her system, or what the extent of the damage is. We sent some lab samples out. We should hear back shortly." "Poison? What are you talking about? Did someone poison my wife? Why aren't the police here? Why aren't you telling them this?" "Mr. Hunter," he said and put his hand on my shoulder. "Nine times out of ten this is an intentional thing." I stared at him. "Exactly. Someone intentionally poisoned my wife. We need to call the police." The doctors eyes softened. "I meant intentional on her part. Suicide," he added, when I had no reaction. "There's no reason to suspect foul play."
