Chapter 2046


    In the hallway of the hospital, the sound of an urgent bell sent several doctors and nurses into a sprint,


    racing toward Serena''s ICU room as if it were the final stretch of a hundred-meter dash.


    The Collins family seemed indifferent to her plight; not a single one spared her a second nce.


    Martin and Dora waited anxiously outside the room.


    After a while, Martin''s phone rang.


    He stepped out to therge balcony on that floor, his voice tense as he confronted the caller, "Did you


    orchestrate all of this?"


    "Let''s not be too dramatic," the voice on the line replied through a voice changer, always sounding


    mechanical and cold, "You knew about her condition. Bacterial infection led to sepsis, organ failure


    across the board. Not even Hippocrates could help her, but I happened to have an experimental drug


    that could work, though it hadn’t passed the final stage of testing."


    "I thought it was some miracle cure, and it turns out to be an experimental drug." Martin gripped his


    phone tighter, his frustration palpable.


    "If you could turn back time, you’d still take it, experimental or not, because what other choice did you


    have?"


    The mystery person''s words only fueled Martin''s anger further.


    "Experimental drugse with risks, but don''t worry, I have the antidote."


    "How do I know your antidote isn''t wed?" Martin asked through clenched teeth.


    "Just take the antidote, and all the symptoms will vanish. She can be discharged safely."


    The voice remained detached, devoid of any emotion.

    "However, the antidote is only a temporary fix. We''re working on a permanent solution, which should be


    ready in a month. Don''t tter yourself; it''s not just for you. We have other ns for it. As long as you


    do as you''re told, I''ll set aside a dose for you once it’s ready."


    "So, you''re saying that without the permanent solution, Serena won''t fully recover?"


    "That''s right."


    Martin, seething with rage but keeping his emotions in check, asked, "What do you want from me?"


    "That Collins girl." the mystery person paused, then continued, "Her existence is problematic."


    Martin understood, "I made a promise to the Collins family; I swore never to harm them."


    The caller scoffed mockingly, "Do you think you have a choice now?"


    "If it weren''t for my promise that night, I never would have taken Serena out."


    With that, the call ended abruptly.


    Martin clenched his phone tightly, closed his eyes, and made a decision.


    After Dr. Pierce had given the Collins family a tour of the hospital, he performed a thorough health


    check on Bernard and Cornelia.  Draмanоvеls


    At his enthusiastic invitation, Keh and Louisa also underwent a checkup.
