Chapter 218
The bodyguard had mentioned that Séraphine had arrived, but the moment Séraphine saw Flora, nil she could think about was the humiliation she suffered at the airport. She wanted nothing more than to see Flora humiliated, forgetting entirely about the situation at hand
“Are you sure she’s really Séraphine? Could she be an imposter?”
The girl in front of them was so young, it was hard to believe she could be the famed Séraphine.
Jordan’s curious gaze also fell on Flora, just as surprised that the legendary Séraphine could be so youthful. But no one in their right mind would dare impersonate Séraphine, especially not on the Bryant family’s turf.
“Mr. Bryant, I’m Crimson, Queen Algria’s cousin. We’re here purely out of respect for Queen Algria Crimson’s lips curved into a mesmerizing smile, her enchanting eyes slightly narrowed, a mix of coldness and sarcasm, “But I must say, the Bryant family’s hospitality is quite unique. We’ve been here for ages and haven’t even been offered a cup of tea, yet we nearly witnessed a bloodshed first?”
“My deepest apologies to both of you. This oversight is entirely my fault,” the butler said, bowing slightly. He had been preoccupied with fetching Jordan and focusing on Ms. Bryant’s illness, completely forgetting to make the necessary arrangements.
“Why are you apologizing to her?” Jenny scoffed. “She’s so young, what could she possibly do? For all we know, Séraphine’s reputation might just be all smoke and mirrors!”
Flora was getting annoyed. Her visit to the Bryant family was purely out of respect for Crimson, if it hadn’t been for her promise to Queen Algria, she would have left right away.
“Are we going to start the treatment or not?” Flora’s tone revealed her growing impatience.
Jordan’s icy gaze landed on Flora, his eyes somewhat murky. The girl was too young, and he seriously doubted her medical skills.
“Sir, it’s terrible
Just then, a servant hurried down from upstairs, exclaiming, “The young miss is having an episode again!”
Jordan’s complexion changed drastically. Take Séraphine upstairs,” he said decisively.
As Séraphine and Crimson ascended the staircase, Jordan followed. Jenny started to follow as well, but Flora’s voice stopped her in her tracks. “Jenny stays.” She was too arrogant and would only get in the way of the rescue efforts.
Jenny stopped, then felt a surge of anger, Flora was clearly targeting her!
“You stay here. Don’t come inside,” Jordan said coldly, glancing at her.
“Dad!” Jenny protested.
“Your sister’s condition is critical,” Jordan replied, knowing Jenny’s temperament too well. He feared she would only be in the way. As Jenny’s face turned red with anger, he narrowed his eyes. “We’ll discuss your matters after your sister’s condition improves.”
Jenny suddenly understood Jordan’s intention. She was overjoyed. Yes, saving her sister was the most important thing now. If Flora lacked the ability to heal her sister, she would settle both new and old scores with her. Even if Flora managed to cure her sister, she would make sure Flora regretted it!
Led by the butler, Flora entered a room on the far right of the second floor. Before even stepping inside, she could hear painful moans coming from within. The door was ajar, and as she pushed it open, she was immediately hit with a pungent smell. The room’s windows were tightly shut, not allowing any air to circulate, with a musty and stale odor assaulting her senses.
Several doctors stood anxiously by the bed. Approaching, Flora glanced at the woman on the bed. The woman resembled Jenny and .due to her chronic illness, her complexion was unnaturally pale. She moaned in pain, her face contorted in agony. Her damp eyelashes
trembled slightly, evoking a sense of pity.
