Solution to The Corporate Mystery
The rest of the story…
After Ben’s wife and son became seriously ill, Ben immediately became a detective. He checked every poison in the garden, the lawn, any and everything he could think of to explain what was happening to his family. They even suspected some type of hereditery desease, but were unable to determine just what it was. He even hired a full time nurse to care for his wife and son whenever he was away from home. Still, over a period of time there were repeat trips to the emergency room with various symptoms.
It wasn’t until Ben was frantically begging his doctor for a solution to the problem that between them they discovered the cause.
"Doctor, I’m at my wits end… about to lose my family, our dream house in the mountains, everything!"
Coincidentally, Ben’s doctor’s father was a retired miner and an amatuer historian. The doctor had heard his father’s stories all his life. It finally clicked in his head when Ben mentioned the house in the mountains and its location. His father had actually worked at one of the mines in the area… processing the gold.
