Maria Julian’s breathing was still very loud. She sounded very uncomfortable as if she couldn’t breathe.

The doctor looked around and frowned. “I’m not sure what happened. I’ve never encountered such an illness before. The attack was so sudden, but there was no cause for it.”

“What should we do now?” Sean Torres asked anxiously.

“The illness isn’t serious, and it won’t endanger her life. Now, I’ll prescribe a medicine for the patient. I’ll also give her an oxygen mask.”

Sean Torres took out the necessary medical equipment from a cabinet next to them. He had used all these things before when Maria Julian was seriously ill. He had been keeping them for emergency use.

Franklin Torres, Quinn Torres, and Bryce Torres were very quiet throughout the incident. They just stood quietly in front of Maria Julian’s bed. They were very nervous.

Especially Sean Torres. He was so nervous that he was trembling.

After inserting the oxygen tube, Maria Julian’s breathing was not so loud anymore.

The doctor had also arranged some sedative drip for her. This small cozy room suddenly became a ward.

After taking care of everything and prescribing the medicine, the doctor bade goodbye to the few of them.

“Franklin, please see Dr. Wentworth off.”

Franklin Torres acknowledged and saw Dr. Wentworth off.

Lauren Torres was still standing in the corner. She did not dare to move. She was like an invisible person.

The medicine in the drip slowly flowed into Maria Julian’s body.

Slowly, the sound of Maria Julian’s breathing subsided. Sean Torres, who had been leaning against the headboard the whole time, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

He stood up and said to Quinn Torres and Bryce Torres, “You guys go out first. Let your mother rest for a while.”

He then looked at Lauren Torres who was in the corner. There was no longer the warmth and gentleness in his eyes when they were shopping in the supermarket.

“You too go out first.”

Lauren Torres bit her lip and followed behind Quinn Torres and Bryce Torres.

A few of them were still in the hallway. Bryce Torres couldn’t wait to turn his head and question Lauren Torres.

“Only you and Mom were downstairs just now. What did you do to make her turn out this way?”

Quinn Torres grabbed Bryce Torres’s wrist, signaling him not to be so worked up.

Bryce Torres shook off Quinn Torres’s hands. “You guys don’t cover up for her anymore. You guys know very well, too! Mom has not had any attack for more than a year now. Although she is weak, she has never been in such a state before. However, after the return of this jinx, Mom has become like this. Don’t tell me you guys still want to speak up for her?”
