Chapter 565\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s expression tightened. \u201cCome on. We\u2019ll go to the hospital first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Peter had already heard the commotion and gone ahead to start the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the vehicle, Julian reached over to fasten her seat belt, but Sydney had already steadied herself and buckled it. Her quick adjustment surprised him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She spoke in a distant, shaken voice. \u201cDo you know what I\u2019ve feared most all these years?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his gaze, wrapped her trembling fingers in his palm, and asked quietly, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI fear something happening to Alan and Eliana.\u201d Her tone stayed even, but her fingers shook harder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fear pushed through her, yet years of relying on herself made her force calm. She could mask anything else and keep her thoughts hidden. When it involved Alan and his wife, she could not pretend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eliana had cared for her with a gentleness that even Alan sometimes matched only in part. They treated her like half a daughter. In her heart, they came closest to parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marcus had strong medical skills. He surpassed many academy-trained physicians by a wide margin. Even so, he still rushed her to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney felt a bad premonition rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian tightened his hold on her hand. \u201cSee her first before you decide anything. It may be nothing serious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney drew a soundless breath. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was right. She should trust her own skills. And if not hers, then Alan\u2019s. But Alan had flown abroad yesterday afternoon for a conference. Marcus had already notified him, yet he would not land in Jouleston until tomorrow. Until then, she had to take care of Eliana.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They reached the hospital and hurried toward the emergency wing. Marcus waited by the doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney closed the distance with quick strides. \u201cWhat\u2019s her condition?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure yet. They just took her into the resuscitation room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked as anxious as she felt. \u201cHer pulse was a complete mess. I couldn\u2019t determine anything for certain, so I sent her here immediately.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney trusted his judgment. \u201cWhy would she be poisoned out of nowhere?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d His frown deepened. \u201cMy father told me to deliver an art piece to Alan. When I arrived, I found her collapsed on the floor. At first I thought it was low blood sugar, but her pulse was extremely thin and soft while beating fast and erratically.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney could not hold her calm any longer. \u201cI\u2019ll go in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian frowned but did not stop her. He told the hospital director, Daniel Franklin, to accompany her and\u00a0<\/p>\n

murmured before she entered, \u201cWhatever happens, don\u2019t be afraid. I\u2019ll be right outside. You have me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her panic steadied for a moment. She nodded hard and stepped through the doors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside, the medical staff stood around the bed with grim faces. Eliana\u2019s face was chalk-white, and her lips carried a dark cyanotic tint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney\u2019s heart clenched hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A doctor turned, ready to scold the \u201cfamily member\u201d who had rushed in, but he saw Daniel behind her and froze. \u201cDr. Franklin\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel\u2019s expression sharpened. \u201cWhy are all of you standing here dazed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe finished gastric lavage,\u201d the doctor said in frustration. \u201cWe\u2019re waiting for the lab results. Other than the coma and the irregular heart rhythm, her tests aren\u2019t showing much yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney pressed her palm against her other hand and stepped to the bedside to take the pulse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t touch her!\u201d the doctor snapped. \u201cWhat are you doing? The patient is\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He cared about nothing except proper protocol, but Daniel recognized Sydney at once. Her team had developed the latest cancer drug. And Julian had brought her here in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel shot him a sharp glare. \u201cBe quiet. Let Dr. Wilson take a look.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor stared in confusion. All tests pointed nowhere. What could this young woman find?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could speak again, Sydney\u2019s fingers rested on Eliana\u2019s wrist. Within seconds, her brows tightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her expression grew grave. \u2018Impossible. Alan left only yesterday afternoon. One night later, the poison has already reached her lungs.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sydney turned sharply. \u201cShe\u2019s poisoned. Do you have silver needles?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had rushed here with nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d Daniel told a nurse to bring them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Sydney took the needles and inserted them one by one into key acupoints with swift precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel watched, unfamiliar with this practice. \u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOpening the acupoints blocked by the toxin and restoring circulation.\u201d She finished, washed her hands, and stepped outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian saw her pale face. \u201cIt\u2019s complicated?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d She had trained with Alan since childhood and rarely encountered a case she could not manage. She always believed she could protect the people close to her. Right now, she felt lost and unsure where to begin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should be a compound toxin,\u201d she said, her voice steady but strained. \u201cIt won\u2019t be easy to undo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Such poisons formed from multiple interacting components. The wrong antidote could make everything worse. She handed a vial of blood to Peter. \u201cPlease take this to the research institute for analysis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the fastest route she could think of.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for the reason behind such severe poisoning\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
She opened her mouth, but Julian had already understood the fear in her eyes. \u201cElliot has called the police. He and the officers are on their way to Alan\u2019s house.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
