Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 46

Asher's heart skipped a beat. He stared at her, completely unnerved.

Before saying those words, he had anticipated a dozen different reactions from her—mostly crying, screaming, or throwing a tantrum. He had never expected this chilling, detached composure.

It terrified him to his core.

He opened his mouth, but the confirmation refused to come out.

It felt as though invisible hands were wrapped around his throat, choking him. A layer of cold sweat broke out across his forehead.

Leo, completely missing the tension, barked at her. "So a life-saving debt means nothing to you? You can't even do as you're told? You ungrateful wretch! Willow, you—"

Before he could finish, a heavy thud echoed through the room. Leo whipped his head around. Asher's eyes had rolled back, his face ashen white as he collapsed onto the mattress!

"Asher!" Leo's voice cracked in sheer panic. Forgetting all about Willow, he lunged for the emergency call button.

Willow frowned, her heart sinking as she took in the scene. They had used his health as a fake excuse to lure her here, but in a twisted stroke of irony, it had triggered a real medical crisis!

Tessa immediately weaponized the situation. "Are you happy now?! You made him so angry he collapsed! If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you!"

At her words, the entire family turned their furious glares onto Willow.

She stood rooted to the spot, refusing to say a single word in her defense.

Less than a minute later, a nurse burst into the room and hurriedly wheeled Asher into the examination bay.
