Canter 14.
Chapter 14
At the mansion entrance, the butlet bowed to Alex, his postare respectful.
“I’m sorry for your trouble. Please, don’t take it to heart.”
“No worries,” Alex replied.
Suddenly, two bodyguards rushed out.
“Stop there and follow us back to the room, or we’ll shoot, one barked, their hands reaching for their weapons.
Without hesitation, the butler struck both bodyguards across the face.
They staggered back, stunned.
“Fools,” the butler’growled.
“This young man is Mr. Kingston’s quest. Mind your words, or I’ll kill you both.”
The bodyguards turned even paler.
They had never seen the butler this angry and didn’t even realize how they were struck.
They had heard the butler was once a feared assassin.
“We… we’re sorry,” one of the bodyguards stammered.
“But Miss Jasmine’s condition is critical, and Dr. Jenkin said this man poisoned her.”
The butler’s eyes narrowed, his voice icy. “So, that idiot made a mistake and now wants to blame someone else?”
He turned to Alex and bowed deeply, his tone respectful again.
“Mr. Alex, I deeply ask for your help. Miss Jasmine is kind and Mr. Alfred’s treasure. He cherishes his daughter above all else.”
“Double the ingredients I requested earlier and prepare the herbal bath. I’ll need everything in two minutes. Hurry and get it all ready!”
“Yes, right away,” the butler responded urgently, rushing to follow the instructions.
Inside the room, Dr. Jenkin turned pale as Jasmine continued vomiting blood, her white bed shirt stained crimson.
The maid frantically wiped away the blood, her face filled with horror.
Fear and despair filled Jessica and Charles nearby, knowing Jasmine could die at any moment.
Alex entered, and Dr. Jenkin rushed to him, grabbing his collar.
“What did you give Jasmine? You murderer!” he shouted.
“No, I’m not. You’re the murderer,” Alex replied calmly.
“What do you mean?” Charles demanded.
“He didn’t check complications.”
Master’s allergies before giving her a shot. The medicine was not suitable and caused serious
“How could it be? 1 Impossible!” Dr. Jenkin murmured in fear.
“The medication you gave her not only failed to improve her condition but also caused her blood to flow backward due to its high toxicity.”
Alex’s eyes were cold.
“I wamed you Didn’t 1?”
Dr. Jenkin trembled in fear because he knew Alex was right
In his eagerness to impress the Kingstons, he overlooked several procedures.
Charles looked at Dr. Jenkin, barely holding back rage, and grabbed him by his neck. “So, your medicine is killing my sister?”
At this moment, Jasmine’s convulsions grew even weaker, and life seemed to be rapidly slipping away from her.
It looked like she was on the brink of death.
“You better do something, or else I will feed you to the dogs!”
Charles threatened and pushed Dr. Jenkin toward his sister in desperation.
“Heal her. Now!
“I… I don’t know…” Dr. Jenkin stammered, trembling with fright. He had lost his ability as the patient’s condition had already worsened twice from before.
“How can you not know!”
In anger and fear, as he was the one taking Dr. Jenkin’s words, Charles hit Dr. Jenkin and kicked him. “You murderer! Do something!”
Jessica’s face grew increasingly grim as they looked helplessly, recalling Alex’s earlier warning-
It appeared they had indeed made a grave mistake.
If Jasmine died, they would be complicit in her death, acting as both accomplices and instigators.
Jessica, desperate, grabbed Alex’s hand.
