Alina’s throat tightened. When Mary didn’t even glance at her, she stopped speaking and turned to leave.
Sebastian came to pick up Noelle.
He’d brought her a bottle of electrolyte drink.
When a few girls got together, drinks usually followed.
Noelle hadn’t drunk much, but she was still a little tipsy. The moment she got into the car, she wrapped her arm around Sebastian and refused to let go, grinning like a fool. “Honey, I like you so much…”
She nuzzled against his arm like a lazy cat.
Sebastian’s heart melted. He gently brushed the hair off her face, his eyes full of warmth.
He whispered, almost inaudibly, “I like you too.”
Back at the villa, Sebastian helped Noelle wash up and tucked her into bed.
Just as they were about to drift off, his phone rang.
He glanced at the screen and found that it was Ethan.
Ethan never called him first. Unless …
Sebastian’s eyelids twitched as he answered. Sure enough, Ethan’s urgent voice came through. “Grandpa is in trouble!”
Noelle and Sebastian rushed to Menzie Estate.
The entire house was brightly lit.
Ethan was waiting for them at the entrance.
Noelle, still a bit tipsy, looked displeased. “What happened?”
“Grandpa got better after waking up yesterday, but tonight he suddenly got worse. He’s been vomiting blood nonstop.”

Noelle frowned. “Did you follow my prescription exactly?”
“Yes. The medicine was brewed and taken three times a day.”

“That’s impossible,” Noelle said sharply. “If he had taken it on time, this wouldn’t have happened.”
They hurried toward Theodore’s bedroom.
Royce and Olivia were there. The moment they saw Noelle, they started yelling. “You still dare show up?! You’re the one who put Mr. Theodore in this state! You should be arrested!
“Ethan, see? We told you so! Sebastian deliberately hired a quack to harm your grandpa, so he can fight you for the inheritance!”
Noelle ignored them and walked straight ahead. Olivia blocked her. “What are you trying to do now? Haven’t you hurt him enough?!”
Noelle’s eyes went cold. “Mr. Ethan, I’m here to treat your grandpa for my husband’s sake. If you want me to help him, get them out of the way.”
Olivia roared, “Who do you think you are?! Tell my nephew to throw us out? Do you think he’ll listen?!”
“Someone, come here!”
Ethan’s voice was cold. “Escort my uncle and aunt out.”
Royce and Olivia stared at him in disbelief. They hadn’t expected him to actually order that. “Ethan, you-”
“Take them out,” he repeated firmly.
The servants hurried forward and forced them out.
Once Noelle and Sebastian stepped into Theodore’s room, a heavy, foul smell hit them.
Noelle’s expression darkened.
She quickly checked Theodore’s pulse. Her face went serious. “This is bad.”
Sebastian and Ethan felt their hearts skip a beat.
“Noelle, what’s going on?” Sebastian asked, his voice tight.
“His condition has gotten much worse,” Noelle said. “He can still be treated, but even if he survives, his body will be seriously damaged.”

After her previous treatment, Theodore should’ve been fine. Nobody expected such a sudden turn for the worse.
