Susan was in disbelief.
The Health Virtuoso is Anastasia? How could it be Anastasia?!
Before she could process it, she heard Anastasia's next words and her face turned pale.
"N-no, you can't just abandon Lennon! He..."
"What the hell does he have to do with me?" Anastasia cut her off, cold and impatient. "What, are you trying to guilt-trip me? He's not my brother, he's not my friend. On the contrary, he's my enemy. Why on earth should I treat him?"
Lennon had dark circles under his eyes and a pale complexion, clearly in poor health. Hearing Anastasia's words, he flared up in anger. "Anastasia! How dare you—"
"Hmph." Anastasia sneered, her eyes icy. "It seems you've forgotten your last lesson!"
The color drained from Lennon's face, and his words died in his throat.
Just then, someone else arrived.
It was Ryan!
Behind him was the quiet, silent Carter. Ryan strode in, his face grim.
The moment she saw him, a flicker of guilt crossed Susan's face, and the color drained from it.
"Ryan, what are you doing here..."
"Susan, why are you here?"
Ryan's gaze was colder than ever before, with not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
Susan's lips moved, but she couldn't form a single word of explanation. She didn't even have the courage to meet his eyes.
Seeing this, Anastasia understood immediately. Susan had come here with Lennon behind Ryan's back.
She didn't reply, simply motioning for Carter to sit across the table from her before taking his pulse.
She had previously heard people at the Lancaster estate mention Carter's condition, that he had a congenital weakness and had been in poor health since birth.
But now, as she took his pulse, her brow slowly furrowed.
"Is something wrong?" Carter, who had been subtly watching her, asked softly.
Anastasia had confirmed something. She withdrew her hand and said bluntly to Ryan, "Mr. Lancaster, Carter does indeed have a congenital weakness, which is why his health is poor. However, under normal circumstances, his condition shouldn't be this severe."
Ryan's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
Anastasia said coldly, "If you truly are unaware, then I suggest you go home and investigate the medicine Carter has been taking all these years."
"It seems someone in your household wants him dead. It's a miracle he's still alive!"
