However, Absolon blocked their path. "Dr. Hanson, please don't hold it against them. Right now, only you... "
"I can save Grandma too, " Karol interjected, jumping in.
But just then, Danna suddenly coughed up blood, her face turning deathly pale in an instant.
Karol was startled but tried to maintain her composure, instructing others to carry Danna inside. She then performed a series of examinations and prepared some medicine for the elderly lady.
Outside, Lilah secretly asked Miranda if she had noticed anything.
Miranda's expression darkened. "I think Karol has lost her mind."
Lilah was puzzled."
Why do you say that?"
"She gave Danna some medicine to prolong her suffering in bed.
Although the drug doesn't have significant side effects, Danna is too old to handle it. Her body simply can't cope, and that's why things went wrong, " Miranda said calmly. Lilah was shocked.
"She's gone mad. Why would she do that? Danna is her greatest support. Without her, Karol would be doomed."
Miranda's face remained cold. "Perhaps she thought by doing this, Absolon might be compelled to accept her again. But she overestimated Danna's health. If I'm not mistaken... "Madam, madam?!" At that moment, a maid's shocked cry came from the room: "Someone, come help!"
Lilah attempted to enter the room but was gently held back.
"It seems my guess was correct. Danna couldn't withstand the effects of the medicine, leading to the blood vomiting and fainting. If this continues, her life might be in danger, Miranda remarked.
"Dr. Hanson, please, save Danna, " Absolon pleaded, emerging from the room, looking utterly helpless.
"First, have everyone leave the room," Miranda replied without refusal.
Absolon looked relieved and quickly had the room cleared of people, including Karol. “Let go of me!
I can save her! I can still save Grandma! I promise I can!
Karol screamed, desperately trying to shake off the maid holding her.
"You gave Danna medicine she can't handle. Forcing her to vomit or using more drugs to counteract it won't work, it'll only make things worse, " Miranda revealed the truth. Karol's face turned ashen with shock.
"No, that's impossible... I didn't do it. She's my grandmother; how could I harm her?"
"You know better than anyone what you've done. There's no need to pretend," Miranda said with a dismissive glance before entering the room.
In the hallway, everyone was struck silent, their eyes fixed on Karol's pale face, unable to comprehend the unfolding scandal.
How could such a thing happen—drugging her own grandmother? Has she lost her mind entirely?
