Barton bolted downstairs.
Debra walked into the room and saw a team of doctors crowded around Andrew's bed, trying to resuscitate him.
Andrew's consciousness seemed hazy. Debra's gaze fell on a pill in one doctor's hand. The group was urgently discussing something.
She stepped forward and asked, "What's that pill? You said it could save him. So, why aren't you using it?"
The doctors exchanged glances but stayed silent. Just then, Barton returned, pulling William into the room.
"That pill works, but Mr. Andrew Potter refuses to take it."
"Why not? Does it have side effects?"
"No."
"Is it not for his disease?"
"Yes."
"Then why isn't he taking it?"
Debra sighed, moving to push the pill into Andrew's mouth.
Andrew's eyes suddenly fluttered open. Despite his weakened state, he managed to catch her wrist.
His voice was barely audible as he whispered, "Debra, put it down."
Debra froze, leaning closer to him. "What?"
"Put it down." His eyes had regained their clarity, and his tone became calm.
Thinking the pill was precious, Debra carefully placed it on the bedside table.
"Sorry for my discretion."
"Ten million dollars for the info. Why wouldn't he take that pill?"
William blinked, tempted. Neither Marion nor Andrew had ever been so generous with him.
"Alright, I'll tell you. It's because the pill came from Theda."
"Ms. Buchan?" Debra frowned. "Why would that stop him from taking it?"
"No idea. Maybe he's saving it for something. Rumor has it that he used to love her very much."
Debra was surprised and skeptical. This rumor was far-fetched.
"Don't spread nonsense." Barton's voice cut in from behind. "It's not because of her."
William scoffed, unconvinced, "Then what is the reason?"
