Rouge Jarvis sat down in front of the couch, then took out a watermelon, glancing at her with disdain: "Your life-saving benefactor, of course, you have to see for yourself."

"So?"

Rouge Jarvis said lazily: "Summer is over, and fresh watermelon can’t be eaten anymore."

Tiana Thorne: "...???"

Turns out, mom also likes eating watermelon.

"Don’t look, your body can’t handle it. I bought this for myself."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

Fine, you’re the mom, you have the final say. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

This time, Rouge Jarvis really didn’t let her eat any.

After finishing, there were still a couple of pieces left, which she put in the fridge nearby.

Not long after, Miles Xavier returned.

Tiana Thorne noticed a hint of paleness on his typically stern and aloof face, and her heart sank immediately; could this medicine be even more toxic than the previous one?

Rouge Jarvis rarely saw him lose composure, slowly stood up: "Nathan, what’s wrong with you?"

He turned around, nodded respectfully to her, then said, "Aunt, could you please step out for a moment? Mr. Vance asked me to pass a message to Miss Thorne; she alone can hear it."

Rouge Jarvis frowned, her eyes deepening, but she didn’t say much: "Alright."

Then she turned and walked out.

After she left, Tiana Thorne asked, "What happened?"

"First, answer me. When Chloe Vance was giving you this bottle of medicine, did you already know there was something wrong with her?"

"Yes."

"So you went along with it, continuing to accept the medicine she gave you?"

Tiana Thorne raised an eyebrow: "Went along with it."

"Indeed, you’re a person who does as they please. This medicine, for you, just three bottles will mean instant death."

Tiana Thorne laughed, her eyes a bit cunning, the depths filled with cold malice: "Didn’t you say it too? It takes three bottles. Before that, I didn’t think she would suddenly change the medicine. Even if she did, you’re a doctor and obviously have a way to save me before more serious consequences arise."

Miles Xavier held a stern face, took a syringe out of the pocket of his white coat, then drew a small bottle of medicine and came to her side: "Roll up your sleeve."

After injecting, his tension visibly eased a bit, though his voice remained low and cold: "Risking your own life to test, if you died, it wouldn’t be undeserved."

Tiana Thorne: "Is your sharp tongue innate?"

"I injected you with a counteractive drug; there won’t be any life-threatening danger, but you’ll suffer. Your body can’t respond yet. Tomorrow it’ll be tough."

Tiana Thorne asked: "What kind of medicine did she give me?"

"Antibacterial drug, exactly the type that your medical records show you’re allergic to."

Tiana Thorne was slightly stunned: "Then why didn’t I have an allergic reaction?"

Miles Xavier sat down in the chair beside her, this was a very serious issue, he said again: "Because she added other components, the two drugs would counteract each other until the third infusion when it would fully erupt."

Upon hearing this, Tiana Thorne didn’t feel afraid, only that Meredith Ford and Chloe Vance were not far from death.

She was already in a life-or-death situation and met survival.

Infusing one bottle of damaging medicine into the body, ensuring Meredith Ford never rises again, wasn’t a loss. She was a doctor and confident that she could find Miles Xavier in time to save her life.

She didn’t fulfill Meredith Ford’s wish but could openly use Miles Xavier, allowing this most authoritative doctor in the medical field to testify for her.

If she wasn’t confident, she certainly wouldn’t do this.

Tiana Thorne asked again: "Can it be proven that it wasn’t a mistake but rather she intended to murder?"
