Yvonne stood at the door, paralyzed by shock. With trembling hands, she took her phone and called emergency services.
Janie was brought to the emergency room of a nearby hospital.
Her condition remained critical through the night.
Benjamin waited in front of the emergency room. He was worried about Emmeline, but he could not neglect Janie as well.
He stayed up the entire night, which made him look haggard.
As for the wedding ceremony scheduled at Struyria Banquet at ten o'clock in the morning, Benjamin had already contacted the manager and made arrangements.
Even though he did not agree with what Emmeline was doing, it was already past the point of no return.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the attending doctor came out of the emergency room.
"Doctor, how is she?" Benjamin asked.
The doctor took off his mask and said, "Her condition is stable now. We are transferring her to the ward."
Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief. He said to Eric, "Stay here. I need to go to Struyria Banquet!"
Eric knew that Benjamin was worried about Emmeline. He nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. York. Leave Janie to me!"
Benjamin turned around and rushed down the corridor. His coattails fluttered behind him like wings.
I hope I can still make it! I'll protect you, Emma! Even if it costs me my face! Wait for me!
At Struyria Banquet, Emmeline received a message from Adam. "Congratulations on your marriage! From your dearest Mr. Green."
Under the veil, Emmeline smirked. "I want the antidote not a second late. If you don't give it to me, be prepared to live in agony for the rest of your life!"
"Don't worry. Someone will give you the antidote, but you'll have to trade it with the method of treating Living Agony."
"No problem. I'll write it down as soon as I receive the antidote."
"Deal!"
Ahh, I'm not dreaming! This is the real deal!
