At the bedside, Ocean saw Max and Leo return and anxiously looked around them. However, aside from a young woman with delicate features, there was no one else.
"Where's the doctor?" Ocean shouted, then grabbed Leo, his eyes red with panic. "You didn't bring the doctor?"
Startled by Ocean's outburst, Leo hurriedly pointed at Paisley. "Uncle, calm down. The doctor is right here."
Ocean's bloodshot eyes locked onto Paisley before he let out a desperate wail. "She's the doctor? Leo, if you're going to fool me, at least pick the right time! Do you even know what's happening right now?"
"Uncle, I'm not lying. This is Ms. Sutton, the doctor Max specifically asked me to bring from Harrowfell. She treated Max's leg before," Leo explained earnestly.
But at this moment, Ocean refused to listen to a single word. He pointed at Paisley. "How am I supposed to believe that? How?"
While Ocean and Leo argued, Paisley had already walked over to Tyson's bedside and checked his pulse.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted.
"Ms. Sutton, how is my father?" Seeing Paisley's expression, Max felt worried. In truth, even without her answer, he already knew Tyson's condition was dire.
Paisley didn't respond to Max. She quickly set down her backpack and pulled out her acupuncture tools. Grabbing the longest needle, she immediately inserted it into Tyson's body.
Ocean saw this and rushed forward, shoving Paisley away. "Don't you dare touch my brother!"
Caught off guard, Paisley was forcefully pushed to the side. Her wrist hit the solid wood bed frame, sending a sharp pain through her arm, nearly making her drop the needle.
"Ocean!" Max wasn't fast enough to stop him. His eyes turned sharp as he glared at Ocean. "What are you doing?"
Ocean seemed to have gotten stuck in a loop, stubbornly standing in front of Tyson. "I won't let this woman touch Sir. I don't trust her."
She looked like she was barely in her twenties. At that age, many hadn't even graduated from medical school, so Ocean didn't believe that she could treat a patient.
"But tell me, Leo, besides Ms. Sutton, who else can save my father right now?" Max questioned coldly.
Ocean was speechless but still refused to move.
Max glanced at Tyson's worsening condition and decisively ordered Leo, "There's no time left. Leo, take Ocean out."
Leo was anxious too, but he remained rational. He thought, 'Just like Max said, at this point, only Ms. Sutton could save Mr. Godard.'
So, without hesitation, Leo grabbed Ocean and forcibly dragged him out of the room, not caring about whether it was respectful or not.
Max turned back to Paisley and saw her rubbing her wrist with her free hand. Guilt flashed across his face. "Are you okay? I'm sorry, Ocean is just too overwhelmed with worry."
"You, get out too." Time was running out—Paisley had no time to listen to apologies.
Apologies could wait until after she finished saving him. Ocean almost hurt her wrist—she wasn't going to let this slide.
Max opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just looked deeply at Tyson, who already looked like a dead man. "I'll leave my father to you."
