With the flattery out of the way. Robert practically lunged at the pen in Amelia’s hand. “Junior, since we’re colleagues now, could you write down the formula for me? For research purposes, of course.”

Amelia was generous enough to pull a sheet of paper from her pocket. “Here. It’s all there.”

Robert took the paper, his mind instantly consumed by the list of herbs, completely forgetting the rest of the world.

Piper pushed the door open, carrying the steaming bowl of dark liquid toward her grandfather.

‘Grandpa, the medicine is ready.”

Amelia checked her watch, confirming the timing was perfect. “Drink it while it’s hot, Edward. The timing is right.”

Edward didn’t hesitate, taking the bowl and draining the bitter liquid in three large gulps.

Amelia handed him a tangerine lozenge. “Here. This will kill the aftertaste.”

The formula couldn’t be sweetened during brewing without ruining the chemical balance, so the lozenge was a necessity.

Edward looked much better after the candy, smiling at Amelia. “Amelia, if you hadn’t stepped in, I don’t hink I’d have much time left.”

‘Don’t mention it, Edward. Saving a life is its own reward.”

Suddenly, Piper let out a sharp, cold snort. “Please. Anyone can say pretty words. You’re just a loudmouth.”

‘Piper! Watch your tone with Amelia!”

Edward slammed his cane against the floor for emphasis.

Piper stomped her foot in frustration. “Grandpa, you drank the stuff. Can she leave now?”

“You brat!”

Edward surged to his feet, pointing a trembling finger at Piper. “I’ve had enough! Look at yourself–you have zero class and even less respect!”

Before he could finish his lecture, Edward’s chest seized, and he began to cough violently.

“Cough… Gag-”

After two sharp barks, a spray of thick, black blood erupted from his mouth!

Piper let out a blood–curdling shrick. “Grandpa! You’re bleeding!”

After the outburst, Edward’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed toward the floor.

Amelia moved like a blur, catching him before he hit the ground. “Dr. Walker! Help me get him onto the

bed!”

Robert was paralyzed with shock, but Amelia’s command snapped him back to reality.

Meanwhile, Piper’s hands were shaking as she dialed her brother. “Cyrus! Come home now! Amelia poisoned Grandpa! He’s dying!”

“Shut up!”

Amelia’s head snapped around, her eyes pinning Piper to the wall. “Either be quiet or get out.”

Piper’s hatred for Amelia gave her a surge of courage. “He drank your medicine and started spitting blood! You’re a murderer!”

She tried to rush the bed and pull Amelia away. “Get away from him! Don’t touch him! Help! Someone help!”

Edward was in a deep coma, his pulse erratic. Amelia tried to examine him, but Piper kept shoving her.

Amelia had reached her limit. She turned and delivered a sharp, stinging slap across Piper’s face,

Calm your *ss down and let me work!”

Piper was stunned into silence by the blow. When she recovered, she bolted from the room, screaming down the hallway, “Amelia killed Grandpa! Call the police!”

Robert stood by the bed, his face as white as a sheet. “Junior, what do we do? Was the medicine tested?”

He was already regretting the senior–junior deal.

If Edward Harrington died, his career was over!

Amelia slid a silver needle into Edward’s esophagus. “The medicine is fine. If there’s a problem, it’s a person problem.”

When she withdrew the needle, the tip was a dark, charred black–a clear sign of acute toxicity.
