    After ending the call, Judith was visibly distraught.


    “Was that Susan” Emson asked gently.


    Judith remained silent for a moment, seemingly making a tough decision.


    Then, with a soft voice, she said, “Your sister is unde Bring her in

    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 aa 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 toe 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 fromst 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

    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 ced their full trust in him, leaving Alexander’s treatment entirely in Thomas’s


    hands.


    Thomas took a blood sample and quickly headed to the researchb.


    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 neer.


    Ava, the only sister of Alexander.


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


    Susan couldn’tment on the depth of their rtionship, 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 note 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 Cornd 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 usatory.


    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 used. “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


    376


    Chapter 384


    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 usedst 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?”

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


    Ava, like a rabid dog,shed 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 ess?”


    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 Nichs 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 Nichs 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 rtion is undeniable.


    She is a member of the Nichs 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 Cornd 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


    Chapter 384


    Cornd?”


    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 Cornd,ing 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 wee 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–inw, 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 Cornd, get out,” Ava said icily.


    “That’s impossible. Judith retorted angrily.


    Susan and Ben were her daughter and son–inw. 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 nces, remaining silent.


    Judith and Eason were stunned by this revtion.
