Chapter 156
“What? How did this happen?” Caden’s expression clouded over as he leaped up instantly.
“I–I don’t know! I found her out cold when I went to wake her up this morning.” The maid was in an anxious
mess.
Before she could finish her sentence, Caden and Lily had already bolted out the door and rushed to their daughter’s room. However, the sight that greeted them when they entered frightened them.
Sheila laid unmoving on the Sunburst emerald bed, which originally radiated heat off its surface, but was then covered in a thin sheet of ice.
Her face was completely devoid of any color whatsoever, her limbs were cold and rigid, and there was frost building up on her brows and hair. There were even wisps of white mist coming off her body.
At first glance, she looked like she had just been brought out of an ice cave of some sort.
“Sheila!” Lily panicked and threw herself on her daughter, rubbing her arms and breathing warm air on her in an attempt to warm her up.
“This is bad!” Caden’s expression was as dark as night as he went up to Sheila and felt for her pulse, only to find it barely there. Even her breath was faint. She looked like she would not last another day.
Caden did not have the luxury of time to consider this any further. He immediately channeled his internal energy over to Sheila.
Soon, the frost around her started to melt. But Sheila’s body remained cold and rigid, and she still wasn’t coming around.
“Lily, quick! Call Dr. Shane! Get him here pronto!” Caden hurriedly instructed.
Though his internal energy was sufficient to keep his daughter’s pulse going, it was not going to hold up for much longer.
“Okay!” Without a moment to waste, Lily called a number straight away.
However, her face fell after a short conversation. “Dr. Shane is on his way here, but he reckons that he can only reach here by nightfall.”
“By nightfall? That’d be too late!”
Caden frowned. “Inform Claudia about this. Get her to find all the doctors available in Swinton. I want all of
them here!”
“Alright!” Lily went out to make another call.
Before the hour was up, Claudia, though distressed, had arrived with a group of doctors in tow.
Some of them were heads of departments, some were professors, and some were experts in their fields. But every doctor in the whole of Swinton, who was even the least bit well–known, was present.
“Whoever saves my daughter will receive a handsome reward from us, the Murrays!” Caden cut right to the

chase and promised them what seemed like a great temptation.
“Be at ease, Mr. Murray, we will do our best!” The doctors were all motivated by the promise.
When they heard that it was the Murrays they were helping out, they figured that the opportunity for their big
break had come. Everyone knew the Murrays‘ status.
If they could cure Shelia of whatever disease she had, they would not only make a name for themselves, but
they would also make acquaintances with the Murrays.
By then, not only would they have gained fame and earned favor from the Murrays, but they would even walk
away with a huge sum of money. Of course, they were going to go for it!
However, when they eagerly went in to check on Sheila’s condition, one by one their brows furrowed and a
troubled look took over their faces.
They realized that whatever Sheila was suffering from was indeed strange. She was icy cold all over, with cold
air coming off her. It was beyond anything they’d ever seen or heard.
For a brief moment, nobody dared to take any action.
“Doctors, there are so many of you here, please don’t tell me that there’s nothing any of you can do?” Caden
grimaced at them.
“Well…” They all looked around sheepishly and kept quiet.
“Just give it a try. We do not have any better options, do we? Who knows, it might just work!” Lily’s expression
If she had a choice, she would not put her daughter’s life at risk too. But the situation was dire, and the doctors were helpless. Dr. Shane was still on his way, and they had no other options. She had to resort to
