Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

After ending the call, Judith was visibly distraught.

“Was that Susan” Emson asked gently.

On the way, Ben briefly introduced Thomas to them

Dreame

09:46 Mon, 8 Apr

When Eason heard that Thomas was the doctor who had developed the medication, he was overjoyed, quickening his pace.

“Dr. Thomas,” Eason said with anticipation, “Father has been in a coma without any sign of improvement. We are now relying on you.”

The best doctors in Tonico had already been consulted.

They had examined the situation repeatedly but failed to come up with a solution, leaving Eason feeling. somewhat hopeless.

But now, with Thomas’s arrival, he saw a ray of hope.

If Thomas could develop the previous medication, he might also find an antidote.

Eason saw Thomas as his hope.

Thomas, with a grave expression, immediately began examining the pale Alexander, not wasting a

moment.

Judith, observing the situation, suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Susan anxiously. “Susan, is this…?”

“Yes, it’s him.” Susan nodded. “The medication from last time was developed by Dr. Thomas.”

Judith’s eyes instantly lit up with hope.

When Susan hadn’t immediately agreed earlier, Judith suspected that this doctor might not be easy to

reveal.

Initially, she and Eason had almost lost hope, but unexpectedly, Ben and Susan had brought the doctor with them this time.

There was now real hope for Alexander.

Judith tightly grasped Susan’s hand, saying nothing but conveying everything with that gesture.

Thomas, focused solely on his task, began treating Alexander immediately.

Judith and Eason placed their full trust in him, leaving Alexander’s treatment entirely in Thomas’s hands.

Thomas took a blood sample and quickly headed to the research lab.

Witnessing Thomas diving into his research so efficiently, Judith sighed in relief.

She was about to say something to Susan when a gentle voice interrupted them.

Judith.”

Judith’s expression changed in an instant.

Susan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Judith’s reaction seemed off.

Taking a deep breath and forcing a smile, Judith turned and spoke. “Ava, what brought you here?”

Susan had already noticed the newcomer.

Ava, the only sister of Alexander.

It was said that the siblings grew up depending on each other, sharing a deep bond.

Susan couldn’t comment on the depth of their relationship, but her mind immediately recalled Ava’s tearful interview at the hospital, which had confirmed Alexander’s poisoning.

Her appearance in the media had destabilized the entire situation in Tonico!

With this in mind, Susan’s gaze became more scrutinizing as she observed Ava.

Although she was Alexander’s sister, it was still unclear whether she was a friend or a foc.

Ava, with a smile on her face, spoke softly, “Judith, how could I not come when Alexander is lying in the hospital bed? Plus, I heard that today, you suddenly allowed some unknown doctor to take full responsibility for Alexander’s condition?”

Judith’s eyebrows twitched.

Only half an hour had passed since Thomas arrived, and Ava had already shown up.

Did she

have informants in the hospital?

As Judith pondered, Ava continued in her soft, gentle tone.

“Judith, Alexander is only poisoned, not dead. The best doctors in all of Coraland are currently treating him. Why would you suddenly switch to an unknown doctor from nowhere? Are you… wishing for him not to wake up?”

Ava spoke softly, but her words were cutting and accusatory.

Judith’s face immediately turned pale with anger.

Eason, trying to console her, held her hand and coldly addressed Ava. “Aunt, you’re not young anymore. Haven’t you learned what should and shouldn’t be said?”

Ava stared at Eason in shock, seemingly in pain, clutching her chest as if she couldn’t believe Eason would speak to her like that.

With a sorrowful expression, she accused. “Eason! When my brother was awake, he loved you the most. Now, to ascend to the throne, are you so eager to see him dead?”

Eason became furious. “What nonsense are you spouting!”

Ava seemed determined to expose what she believed was a conspiracy. “You’re using an unknown doctor to hasten my brother’s death, so you can ascend the throne sooner. Eason, you always pretended not to

care about the position, but you’ve harbored malicious intentions all along, plotting against my brother!”

Her voice, filled with agitation, didn’t attempt to hide her volume, drawing the attention of everyone in the hospital.

Eason, enraged, retorted. “The medication used last time was developed by Dr. Thomas! What’s wrong with letting him handle my father’s condition?”

Ava frowned. “You say it’s him, but should I just take your word for it? Who is this Dr. Thomas? I’ve never even heard his name. This poison has stumped all of Tonico’s doctors, but he supposedly has

the

antidote?”

品

She sneered sarcastically. “Could it be that he was the one who poisoned Alexander?”

Ava, like a rabid dog, lashed out at everyone.

n responsible

Ben, frowning, responded stoically. “Dr. Thomas came with me. Are you implying that I am for the poisoning?”

Ava, who had noticed Ben and Susan earlier but pretended she hadn’t, feigned surprise. “Who are these two? Why are they allowed to freely enter the hospital? With Alexander in this condition, are you so eager to see him dead by allowing strangers access?”

Ava spoke maliciously, emphasizing the word “death, which grated Judith’s ears.

Unable to hold back, Judith retorted angrily. “Susan is my biological daughter, and Ben is my son–in– law. How can they be considered outsiders?”

“Biological daughter?” Ava seemed to only now acknowledge Susan’s presence. She smirked dismissively. “Does she bear the Nicholas surname?”

Judith’s expression shifted uneasily.

Ava’s smile brightened. “Has she been recorded in the family registry? Has my brother acknowledged her? Even if she is a biological daughter, she has been estranged for twenty years! Now that she has

returned, who knows if she is friend or foe! For all we know, she could be a spy from another country. Isn’t that right, Judith?”

“Enough, Ava!” Judith snapped, enraged. “Watch your words!”

“Did I say something wrong?” Ava blinked innocently, unabashed. “As long as Alexander remains unconscious, she is not part of the family registry. Without being in the registry, she can’t be considered a member of the Nicholas family! You set this rule yourself, Judith no non–family members allowed during Alexander’s illness! Are you going to break your own rule now?”

Eason interjected coldly. “Susan may not be in the family registry, but her blood relation is undeniable. She is a member of the Nicholas family!”

“Blood ties aside, she has not formally acknowledged her lineage.” Ava countered sharply. “Previously, she refused to acknowledge her ancestry. Now, with Alexander unconscious, she suddenly wants to return. Why is that? Perhaps people from Coraland also wish to stir trouble in Tonico’s political arena? It’s peculiar how Alexander, despite being heavily guarded, was still poisoned. Could it be that the poison came from

Coraland?”

After speaking, Ava’s gaze lingered suspiciously on Ben and Susan, as if insinuating they were responsible for the poisoning.

“Enough, Ava. Don’t push it too far. Judith warned coldly.

“Pushing it too far? Two people from Coraland, coming to Tonico at this time, is that appropriate? If you think it is, let’s disclose this to the public and see if the citizens of Tonico welcome them.” Ava stood her

ground firmly.

“Ava, don’t think I will always tolerate you!” Judith, fuming with anger, attempted to confront her, but Susan calmly held her back.

“Susan.” Judith was still visibly angry. “Don’t stop me. As the eldest sister–in–law, it’s my duty to discipline. her properly!”

Ava sneered coldly. “Am I wrong? Or is it that you’re feeling guilty, Judith? Dare to touch me, and I’ll show the world the ugly face of our queen”

Judith trembled with anger. “What do you really want. Ava?”

“It’s simple! We, Tonico, will handle our own affairs. All people from Coraland, get out,” Ava said icily.

“That’s impossible. Judith retorted angrily.

Susan and Ben were her daughter and son–in–law. Why should they leave?

Thomas was key to Alexander’s recovery and couldn’t be dismissed,

If they were forced to leave, Alexander would truly be left without hope.

Susan frowned slightly. “Ben and I can leave temporarily, but Doctor Thomas must stay.”

“Doctor Thomas?” Ava scoffed. “A mere youngster barely in his thirties, and you expect him to detoxify Alexander? Is he even qualified? We don’t need you meddling in Alexander’s poisoning. I’ve brought a real doctor who can surely cure him.”

Although Judith was furious, she couldn’t dismiss the topic of detoxification right away. “A real doctor? Who is it?”

Ava smiled confidently. “You might not have heard his name, but I’m sure you know his nickname.”

She scanned the group before saying deliberately. “The person I’ve brought is none other than the Medical Mystic.

The Medical Mystic?

Susan and Ben exchanged glances, remaining silent.

Judith and Eason were stunned by this revelation.
