Chapter 129
Their car eventually arrived at Levine Manor, and Jay was running as soon as he got out of the car, vomiting endlessly.
Zoe stood behind him, watching as his head sank between his knees.
He was just fine in the car just now, but he somehow looked like he was going to puke his guts out again.
She began, “Should I get the family doctor-”
“Achool” Jay sneezed again before she got close, and then continued to vomit.
It was an utterly horrendous scene!
Zoe took a step back and said, “I’ll get the doctor.”
With that, she headed into the manor.
Rudy Johnson–the family doctor–helped Jay into the manor eventually, since Zoe really did not have the strength to do it.
As she stepped outside of her room after taking a shower, she saw that the door to Jay’s room was still open and that the lights within were lit.
She hesitated for a moment, but she eventually entered.
Rudy actually had to hook Jay to an IV bag, and the man’s face was pale white as he lay in bed.
He looked less like a drunk man than someone really sick.
Still, his eyes were closed, so he must be asleep.
“Ms. York.” Rudy greeted her respectfully when he saw her.
“How is he?” Zoe asked.
“Alcohol overdose. Let’s see if he improves after I hook him to an IV, but we have to send him to the hospital for a gastroscopy tomorrow if he does not. We have to observe if other gastric conditions are triggered.”
“Is it that serious?”
“Mr. Parker has always had minor gastritis, and he doesn’t usually drink too much,” Rudy said. “His body naturally couldn’t take all the alcohol he shoved into his body tonight. Tell him to ease up on his drinking next time.
“Yeah,” Zoe replied. “How will the drip last him?”
Zoe nodded and left, but she could not fall asleep even as she lay in bed.
