Ava was covered with several machines. Her heat beat was low and she was provided oxygen through oxygen mask.
As her body's immune system was very weak, so her body was severally affected after the panic attack.
Sophia waited for two hours outside her room. When she saw a doctor coming out of the room, she ran towards him.
"Doctor what happened to Mrs.Lockhart? Is she alright now?"
The doctor had his rimmed spectacles on. He slightly adjusted his frame and spoke, "She is alright now. In the morning she suddenly had a panic attack. We don't know what triggered her, but she suddenly started having breathing problem. We have done her blood test. The results would be out in a while. I will call you once they come."
"Okay, thank you doctor." Sophia bowed down and then went to sit down in her place.
After around half an hour, Sophia was escorted to the doctor's cabin by a nurse.
"Sit down Ms.Sophia. Here are the results." The doctor's face was stern. He appeared to be angry and somewhat distressed.
"Her blood samples had poison. It was nice that her body immediately reacted and we could save her in time. I don't know who had given her this poison, but one thing is clear that the person didn't want her to be dead. I know that she is now going through a trial. But as a doctor I have to tell you that her life may have been in danger."
Sophia looked quizzical at the doctor. She had gone through many cases where a person was poisoned to keep them mum. But she was President's wife, why would they want to kill Ava?
Or was it like, the person wanted to kill the whole family?
Did she just do some mistake regarding the murderer?
Sophia was in thought when the doctor continued, "The poison slowly kills a person, by starting from destroying internal organs. As Mrs.Lockhart was lucky that we got to know earlier, her only one kidney has failed. She can survive on the other."
Sophia thought for a while then spoke, "Can you tell me that exactly how much time is needed for the poison to act?"
"It takes at least two days for the poison to start working." The doctor replied as per his understanding of the poison.
Sophia thanked him and took her leave. She went to visit Ava, who looked very pale.
Sophia decided to go to the base. But before that she increased the security near Ava.
The doctor had told her that the poison needed at least 2 days to start working, that means Ava was poisoned on the same day when Harry died.
The case was getting more mysterious.
When Sophia came in the parking, she saw a nurse coming running towards her.
"Miss, miss; the doctor wants to speak with you for a moment. Can you please come in with me."
She was the same nurse who had earlier taken her to the doctor.

"I am sorry Ms.Sophia that I called you again within such short time. Actually we detected some amount of polychlorinated byphenyls in her body. This type of chemical may damage the skin cells. It is very harmful, but she was given a very small dose, so she is now safe as we have removed the poison from her body."
A light bulb appeared in Sophia's mind. She could now link the case to some particular track.
"I hope you keep this information confidential." Sophia said in a warning tone.
"Yes, yes you don't have to worry. I will not tell anyone about this. It will only be known to you and me and not to anybody else."
"Thank you then." Sophia turned to leave, but when she reached the door, the doctor suddenly spoke, "We were childhood friends. I will not let anything happen to her."
His words seemed sincere. Sophia turned and gave him a small smile and then left the hospital.
