Ex-husband’s Regret

"Alright."

Later, Grandma was moved from the emergency room to a VIP ward. Her face was pale, but she was conscious.

Before I could get close, Yasmin, Alex, and Yale had arrived. "Charlotte!"

When Yasmin heard the news, she rushed over, her eyes red with anxiety. Seeing me, she hugged me tightly, "You scared me! Why didn't you contact me when something happened? You put yourself at risk- what if something had happened to you? What would I have done?"

"Mom..." I clenched my fists. I had been used to facing everything alone before and wasn't quite used to asking for help. "I'm sorry. I was so anxious at the time that I didn't think it through."

"Foolish girl!"

Yasmin released me, gently wiped away her tears, and gave me.

this again, understand?"

My eyes felt warm, and I nodded vigorously. "Okay!"

I then looked somewhat guiltily at Alex, "Uncle Alex..."

"What are you feeling guilty about? I won't have a go at you."

a serious warning, "In the future, don't do

After introducing me to Yale, Alex didn't delay and respectfully said, "Dr. Travis, the patient needing your treatment is my niece's grandma, Madam Shaw. Please examine her."

"Alright." Yale, who seemed to have a deep connection with the Jackson family, didn't hesitate. He immediately sat by the bed and took Grandma's wrist to check her pulse.

As soon as he touched her pulse, his previously kind expression grew somber, and his brows furrowed.

However, since Alex had briefed him beforehand, Yale didn't say anything immediately after withdrawing his hand. He simply asked Grandma, "Do you feel any dizziness or numbness in your fingertips?" "Yes, a bit, but it's not severe. It should be fine, right?"

Grandma had heard of Yale and smiled, looking at me. "I just had a fall. It's probably because my granddaughter was worried that she asked you to come."

Yale's expression remained unchanged. "It's not serious. I'll give you a few acupuncture treatments, and the symptoms should disappear."

Grandma looked at me uncertainly, and seeing me nod, she agreed.

Yale took out his silver needles and began the acupuncture with swift, precise movements. Despite his old age, his technique was both fast and accurate.

By the time the last needle was inserted, Grandma fell into a deep slumber.

My heart instantly sank, but Yale spoke up at the right moment, "Madam Shaw is fine for now."

Alex asked, "Dr. Travis, how is Madam Shaw's condition?"

"Very bad." Unlike the previous doctors, Yale's expression grew serious. "Madam Shaw has been. poisoned, hasn't she? This poison is very dangerous. In the early stages of poisoning, all organ tests might not show any abnormalities, which makes people underestimate it. However, in reality, the poison can spread to the internal organs and even the nerves within just a few days. By the time it reaches this point... it's too late for anything."

I asked urgently, "So what should we do?"

"We need to identify the poison to formulate an antidote." Yale sighed softly. "I can confirm that I haven't encountered this poison before. The only thing I can do is to use acupuncture to delay the poison's progression."

Frank frowned. "How long can you delay it?"

"Up to about two weeks."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, my legs suddenly felt weak. Frank quickly supported my waist to steady me. I turned my head, and tears began to fall.

At the same time, a message came through on my phone, and I hurriedly opened it.

"Ms. Wilson, you don't have much time left."
