After careful consideration, Ralph said, “If she’s not here in half an hour, take her to the hospital and call Ms. Chime.”
Hearing that, Zaid and the rest of the medical team also breathed a sigh of relief.
Given Mary’s current condition, whether they proceeded with surgery or not, the result would be the same. Her time was running out, and her condition was untreatable.
Sending her to the hospital was just a futile attempt to tidy up after the fact. A slight misstep could also offend the Ludden family, risking their livelihoods.
This mess was created by Hera in the first place, so having her clean it up was probably the best option.
Meanwhile, Jane was eagerly looking forward to Hera coming soon. If she ended up causing Mary to die, Andrew’s family would be out for good, leaving Ralph and her with the entire Ludden residence. It was a triple win.
Everyone had their own thoughts as they awaited Hera’s arrival.
When Zaid saw Hera, he instantly lost hope. He didn’t expect her to be such a young girl. At that moment, he felt it was more practical to ask for Camille’s help.
Hera appeared indifferent as she followed Christopher into Mary’s room.
After examining Mary’s swollen legs, her slender fingers gently rested on Mary’s wrist. Her brows furrowed slightly.
Mary’s body’s response was not what she had anticipated.
“How could this happen?” she asked Pansy.
With that question, despair filled the hearts of all the medical staff.
It seemed everyone had been waiting in vain. She didn’t even know how Mary’s condition had gotten so bad, so how could they expect her to save Mary? In the end, they would have to handle the aftermath themselves.
“How dare you ask? If it weren’t for you persuading Mary to stop her medication, would she be in this situation?” Jane said. “Shut up. I wasn’t asking you.” Hera shot her a glare.
All the medical staff were taken aback. They hadn’t expected Hera to not only fail to cure the patient but also to be so audacious!
Seeing that, Alice couldn’t help but silently applaud Hera. In the Ludden family, she had to adhere to the rules and respect her elders, so she always avoided contradicting Jane to prevent any repercussions.
However, Hera wasn’t part of the Ludden family, so she didn’t have to follow those rules.
“You” Jane tried to retort.
“Jane, can you please quiet down and let Hera do her work?” Andrew interjected before she could continue.
Jane, as the eldest daughter-in-law
of the Ludden family, had never suffered such humiliation. She wanted to confront Hera right then
and there, but with interests at stake, she held her tongue.
“Go on.” Hera looked at Pansy beside her.
“Mrs. Ludden Senior stopped taking all medication as you requested, and this is what happened,” Pansy recounted the whole incident.
“Are you sure all the medication has been stopped?” Hera asked.
“Yes. Mrs. Ludden Senior has only been taking medication prescribed by Ms. Chime recently. All other medications have been stopped,” Pansy affirmed.
Hera nodded and said to Ralph, “You can start investigating who has been poisoning Mrs. Ludden Senior.”
