“Haha! Mr. Schmidt, are you suspecting that sir will ruin your relationship?”
Sheryl’s mockery became more pronounced. “Do you think he has that much time on his hands? And if it weren’t for him intervening several times at your request, Alyssa would have reconciled with Jeremy long ago and perhaps even have had children by now.
“You would have lost your chance long ago. Oh, I forgot. Alyssa’s uterus is already useless. Jeremy has ruined her. She can’t have children anymore. Haha…”
Jameson’s clenched fist trembled uncontrollably. “Ms. Gillis, please watch your words. Lyse is the woman I love, and she has never offended you.”
“How do you know she hasn’t offended me?” Sheryl’s voice suddenly turned deep.
“What?”
“Haha! Just kidding. The medicine is suitable for Winston’s symptoms. Even Lovelace Pharmaceuticals’ medicines aren’t as effective as the one sir gave you. You can rest assured. Once he recovers, the Taylors will all thank you.
“Alyssa is the type who responds better to kindness than force. Saving her father is a great favor. Her attitude toward you will surely change.” Without waiting for a reply, Sheryl coldly hung up.
Jameson’s pale face turned dark, and a bead of crimson blood seeped from his bitten lower lip.
In the blink of an eye, it was already morning.
Upon learning the truth, none of the Taylors dared to sleep. They all anxiously waited outside the ward. Their eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, and they were all dejected.
Lyla, Colene, and Tatiana brought a lot of breakfast and rushed to the hospital, but no one had any appetite. They sat silently, waiting for news.
Alyssa sat in a chair with Jeremy’s oversized suit draped over her. She had been sitting motionless for hours, not even bending once.
Jeremy had messaged Xavier and Landon, asking them to come up with a solution. After all, it was a matter of great importance. He couldn’t entrust it to anyone he didn’t trust, fearing leaks.
For now, all he could do was accompany Alyssa. He held her ice-cold hand tightly in his.
The more Alyssa remained quiet and endured silently, the more Jeremy felt bad for her.
After some time, Julien hurriedly approached with the test results. “The results are out.”
The Taylors all stood up, with Alyssa being the first to rush to Julien and take the report.
“There’s no problem?” She stared at the data on the paper in disbelief.
Julien nodded solemnly. “Surprisingly, there are no issues with the medicine Jameson brought. Not only that, but it’s a targeted medicine developed in Mosgravia this year specifically for stroke patients. It’s even more effective than the medication Aunt Mandy had.”
Amidst their astonishment, hope ignited in their eyes.
Despite feeling relieved, Jeremy couldn’t shake off his deep sense of guilt and sorrow.
He wished he could have been the one to help Alyssa. But it turned out that Jameson had been the one to offer assistance.
“Oh! That’s great!” Silas exclaimed excitedly. “If we start giving this medicine to Dad, his illness will be treated, right?”
Julien frowned, hesitating to speak.
Seeing his expression, Jonah quickly approached. “Julien, is there a problem?”
“This medicine can be considered a national treasure of Mosgravia. It’s not just expensive, but the production is also extremely limited. It’s only available to the top elites and royal members of Mosgravia.
“Moreover, this medicine is quite potent. It definitely has side effects. But I can’t say for sure what exactly the side effects are.”
Julien’s words rained on the Taylors’ parade.
“There will be side effects? We can’t use it.” Mandy fretted.
“If we cure the stroke but end up with more difficult ailments, how will Winston’s body handle it?”
The other two wives also agreed with Mandy.
“Given Mr. Taylor’s age and the severity of his illness, the fact that he could be saved is already a stroke of luck. Now, the priority is to get him to wake up. Prolonged unconsciousness will cause irreversible damage to his central nervous system.”
Julien’s tone was stern, befitting a seasoned professional. “I’m his attending physician. In the hospital, I have the final say on his treatment.
“I’ll administer this medicine to him soon. If he wakes up tomorrow, everything will become better. Don’t worry too much about the side effects for now. They can be gradually treated as long as they don’t pose a life-threatening risk. Let’s focus on saving his life first. We can’t have everything.”
Clenching her teeth, Alyssa made up her mind. “Let’s follow Julien’s instructions and give Dad the medicine. We can deal with future matters in the future. Besides, Dad is not an ordinary man. A little illness won’t defeat him.”
Though she spoke confidently, Jeremy couldn’t fail to notice how much she was suffering.
She was forcing herself to be strong.
Meanwhile, upon learning about Winston’s serious illness, Landon was deeply concerned.
However, since his inauguration was approaching, he was busy shuttling between the office and the conference room every day.
With several major projects to handle, he couldn’t even spend time with Lauren in bed, let alone help find medical solutions. He had to delegate the task to Angelina for now and promise to think of a solution later.
Landon finally managed to free up some time that day. He wanted to visit Belbanks to check on Winston and meet with Jeremy and Alyssa.
However, as he stepped out of his office, he received an urgent call from Angelina.
Landon’s heart skipped a beat. He promptly asked about Lauren’s condition.
“Did something happen to Lauren?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Landon. Ms. Lauren is fine,” Angelina reassured.
Landon breathed a sigh of relief. “Then what is it?”
Angelina paused for a moment before speaking with a cold tone, “I just received news that Mr. Cornelius has sent his men to bring Ms. Zoe back to Solana City from Yoarkley.”
“What?”
Landon widened his eyes, feeling a surge of anger rising within him. “Didn’t you have people watching her? How could you let her come back?”
Angelina felt guilty. “Our men had been keeping an eye on her all along, and everything was fine. But Ms. Zoe suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest. Our men were afraid something would happen to her, so they rushed her to the hospital.”
“She’s perfectly healthy. She doesn’t have any heart problems! How could she have a cardiac arrest?”
“I’m just as surprised as you are,” Angelina said, her voice tinged with frustration and helplessness.
“After the incident, I immediately ordered them to block the news. But as soon as Ms. Zoe got admitted to the hospital, Mr. Cornelius caught wind of it. It was as if everything had been pre-meditated.
“With Mr. Cornelius’ intervention, Ms. Zoe was admitted to the emergency room, so our men couldn’t stop it. Later, I heard that it seemed to be caused by her own misuse of drugs.”
Misuse of drugs?
At the mention of that, Landon immediately knew that something fishy was going on. His gaze turned cold. “Did she meet anyone these past few days?”
“She only went out once for a spa treatment. Other than that, she didn’t go anywhere or meet with anyone.”
The more Angelina talked about it, the guiltier she felt. She felt a lump form in her throat. “I’m sorry, Mr. Landon. It’s my fault. I’ll accept whatever punishment you have for me.”
Landon swung his arm. “Now is not the time to talk about punishment. Where is Zoe now?”
“She’s already left Yoarkley. She’s on Mr. Cornelius’ private plane.”
“Who’s with her?”
“Your mother and… Preston.”
When Landon heard Preston’s name, his heart sank. He clenched his fists tightly, causing his joints to crack audibly.
“Despite all precautions, that bastard and that damned girl still conspired together! I’m going to see Grandpa now!”
When Landon arrived at the Harper Residence, Cornelius was already waiting for him in the study.
“Grandpa, Zoe¡ª”
“I instructed your mother and your Uncle Preston to bring Zoe back from Yoarkley.” Cornelius interrupted Landon directly.
“I wanted to go too, but I figured you would catch wind of it and rush over to see me, so I waited for you here.”
