Phantom said confidently, “Sure.” It was obvious that Phantom had already told the bodyguard what to do. They would have the same testimonies when the police came: they stopped Damian from leaving because he was suspected of cheating, so they simply asked him some questions.
In the end, Alex took him away, so the police should interrogate Alex next. After asking around for a while, the police left as they couldn’t find anything.
After all, no one knew that Brett Jams, the boss of the casino, was none other than a killer named Phantom from Double Dragon Court!
Alex’s medicine was delivered after it was boiled for an hour. Under Jewel’s careful gaze, Alex didn’t even frown as he downed the large bowl of medicine. Jewel took the empty bowl he passed to her, then asked, “Is it too bitter for you? Would you like some apples?” Alex smiled. Did she think he was a kid?
“It’s okay, it’s not too bitter.”
Jewel also felt that she was worrying too much. She was just anxious because she couldn’t do anything right now. “Do you feel any discomfort?”
Alex shook his head. “I’m fine, so don’t worry. It was just a scratch, so it shouldn’t be too serious.” Jewel nodded, praying in her heart that it truly was the case.
At dinnertime, Jewel called Alex over to eat. It was only then that she found him curled up in his blanket, his face pale as he shivered ceaselessly. She was terrified as she shook him, shouting, “Alex! Alex!”
Sadly, his eyes remained tightly shut, and he wouldn’t wake up no matter how many times she called his name. He seemed to have lost consciousness. Jewel ran outside in panic, shouting repeatedly, “Olivia! Olivia, come here, quick! Something bad happened to Alex!”
Olivia had just taken a seat at the dining table when she heard the noise. She hastily walked over to Alex’s room. She grabbed a thermometer and took his temperature. 103 degrees. Just as expected, he had a fever.
It was quite a high temperature, so it wasn’t something as simple as a normal fever. The poison must have infiltrated his immune system, causing him to burn like that.
Alex was administered some medicine to lower his body temperature. The medicine worked quickly. Then, she repeated what she did in the day, using the antidote to clean the wound.
She had told Hector about Alex’s illness that day, and they had formulated a new prescription based on Alex’s condition.
Everyone started bustling about. Some were in charge of getting the medicine and preparing it, whereas others dealt with odd jobs. Some just stood watch without saying a word..
Jewel had been sitting there for a long time as she watched Olivia work tirelessly to lower Alex’s temperature and clean his wound with the antidote. Jewel’s expression was stiff as she asked, “His fever was caused by the poison, wasn’t it?”
Olivia glanced at her, then comforted, “He got hurt, so it’s only natural that he gets a fever. when the wound is inflamed. Don’t worry.” Jewel smiled. Even if it were an inflammation, only the injury at his neck would get inflamed.
She had checked the wound on his waist, and there was nothing wrong with it. But why would there be inflammation at the wound at his neck? Wasn’t it exactly because the poison on the blade had entered his skin?
In the end, it was all because of the poison. That damn woman! Just you wait! Jewel thought. She sneaked a glance out the window. The sky had turned dark, so in another few hours…
Olivia felt a little uneasy as she looked up at Jewel again. Jewel was just sitting there in a daze. The nervousness and panic had gone from her face, and she was so quiet that it was concerning. It was like the calm before the storm.
Olivia was exasperated, so she comforted again, “Don’t worry, Master and I have developed a new prescription for Alex. He’ll be fine.”
She feared that Jewel would get too worked up and do something rash. Jewel smiled. “Yes, I know. You even cured me of my muteness, so you must be able to save him, too!” When Olivia saw Jewel smile, she relaxed a little as she replied softly, “Mm-hmm.”
Jewel said, “Olivia, you’ve been busy for the whole day, so go and have dinner. I’ll keep watch here.”
Olivia glanced at the infusion bottle, then said, “Call me when the liquid is running out.”
Jewel didn’t seem worried at all as she said, “Sure.”
