Chapter 156


    “What? How did this happen?” Caden’s expression clouded over as he leaped up instantly.


    “I–


    I don’t know! I found her out cold when I went to wake her up this morning.” The maid was in an anxiou


    s


    mess.


    Before she could finish her sentence, Caden and Lily had already bolted out the door and rushed to the


    ir daughter’s room. However, the sight that greeted them when they entered frightened them.


    Sheid unmoving on the Sunburst emerald bed, which originally radiated heat off its surface, but wa


    s then covered in a thin sheet of ice.


    Her face waspletely devoid of any color whatsoever, her limbs were cold and rigid, and there was f


    rost building up on her brows and hair. There were even wisps of white misting off her body.


    At first nce, she looked like she had just been brought out of an ice cave of some sort.


    “She!” Lily panicked and threw herself on her daughter, rubbing her arms and


    breathing warm air on her in an attempt to warm her up.


    “This is bad!” Caden’s expression was as


    dark as night as he went up to She and felt for her pulse, only to find it barely there. Even


    her breath was faint. She looked like she would notst another day.


    Caden did not have the luxury of time to consider this any further. He immediately channeled his intern


    al energy over to She.


    Soon, the frost around her started to melt. But She’s body remained cold and rigid, and she still wasn


    ’ting around.


    “Lily, quick! Call Dr. Shane! Get him here pronto!” Caden hurriedly instructed.


    Though his internal energy was


    sufficient to keep his daughter’s pulse going, it was not going to hold up for much longer.


    “Okay!” Without a moment to waste, Lily called a number straight away.


    However, her face fell after a short conversation. “Dr. Shane is on his way here, but he reckons that he


    can only reach here by nightfall.”


    “By nightfall? That’d be toote!”


    Caden frowned. “Inform udia about this. Get her to find all the doctors avable in Swinton. I want al


    l of


    them here!”


    “Alright!” Lily went out to make another call.


    Before the hour was up, udia, though distressed, had arrived with a group of doctors in tow.


    Some of them were heads of departments, some were professors, and some were experts in their field


    s. But every doctor in the whole of Swinton, who was even the least bit well–known, was present.


    “Whoever saves my daughter will receive a handsome reward from us, the Murrays!” Caden cut right to


    the


    chase and promised them what seemed like a great temptation.


    “Be at ease, Mr. Murray, we will do our best!” The doctors were all motivated by the promise.


    When they heard that it was the Murrays they were


    helping out, they figured that the opportunity for their big


    break hade. Everyone knew the Murrays‘ status.


    If they could cure Shelia of whatever disease she had, they would not only make a name for themselve


    s, but


    they would also make acquaintances with the Murrays.


    By then, not only would they have gained fame and earned favor from the Murrays, but they would eve


    n walk


    away with a huge sum of money. Of course, they were going to go for it!


    However, when they eagerly went in to check on She’s condition, one by one their brows furrowed an


    d a


    troubled look took over their faces.


    They realized that whatever She was


    suffering from was indeed strange. She was icy cold all over, with cold


    airing off her. It was beyond anything they’d ever seen or heard.


    For a brief moment, nobody dared to take any action.


    “Doctors, there are so many of you here, please don’t


    tell me that there’s nothing any of you can do?” Caden


    grimaced at them.


    “Well…” They all looked around sheepishly and kept quiet.


    “A bunch of rubbish!” Caden’s expression darkened. Though he had not held much hope that they woul


    d be


    able to cure his daughter, the oue was still infuriating.


    “Uncle Caden! She’s in really bad shape!” udia eximed.


    They looked over to find that She, who was still lying on the emerald bed, was getting colder with eac


    h passing moment. Her breath was also extremely feeble.

    “Oh no! Her condition has taken a turn for the worst!” Caden’s brows were tightly knit.


    The channeling of his internal energy to She could only help for so long. It would not be able to cure


    her.


    “What do we do? She is going to be alright, won’t she?” udia panicked.


    They had grown up together, and their rtionship was like that


    of sisters. Naturally, she did not wish for anything bad to befall her.


    “Caden, why don’t we give this a try?” Lily took out a red pill.


    It was the pill that Dustin gave them. She had not been able to bring herself to just throw it out, so she k


    ept it in her pocket the whole time.


    “Are you kidding me? How can this help She?” Caden made a face.


    “Just give it a try. We do


    not have any better options, do we? Who knows, it might just work!” Lily’s expression


    was solemn.


    If she had a choice, she would not put her daughter’s life at risk too. But the situation was dire, and th


    e doctors


    were helpless. Dr. Shane was still on his way, and they had no other options. She had to resort to


    every possible way to save her daughter.


    “What if it’s poisonous?” Caden hesitated.


    “Since he dares toe up


    to us, he must have a certain level of confidence in what he’s doing. And I think that it is not likely he’d


    spike the


    pill with any sort of poison, after all, I do not believe that anyone would do something as imprudent as g


    oing against the entire Murray household,” Lily expounded.


    Caden fell silent.


    He took a nce at his daughter, who was icy cold all over, and he clenched his jaws. Then, with a deci


    sive


    nod, he said, “Alright then! Let’s give it a try.”


    Lily drew a deep breath before she took the pill and fed it to She.


    The pill was quick to dissolve, and it slid down She’s throat. As soon as it reached her stomach, the p


    ill


    began to work its wonders.


    The effect was almost immediate


    as the cold air around She began to dissipate, and a momentter, wisps


    of warm breath began to escape her.


    At the same time, the frost that had formed on her brows and hair melted away rapidly.


    Her body, which had been rigid with coldness, began to


    warm up and eased up, and a healthy hue of redness crept up her countenance. Even her breath grew


    steady.


    “It works!” Lily’s eyes lit up with excitement.


    Though they did not know what the pill was made of, its effects were apparent. It


    did indeed rid their daughter of the coldness within her.


    “Could it be possible that the rascal was telling the truth?” Caden’s eyes widened in disbelief.


    He had thought that Dustin was just a scammer who was out to cheat him of his money and demand a


    n


    unreasonable sum.


    It had never urred to him that the pill, which he had considered trash and almost thrown away, woul


    d save his daughter in their time of need!


    “Uncle Caden, Aunt Lily, where did this pille from? It’s miraculous!” udia was amazed.


    “udia, do you remember the rascal who saved the both of you yesterday?” Caden asked.


    “Of course I do! Who knows where he came from. He might be dangerous!”


    “He was the one who gave us the pill.”


    “What?” udia’s eyes widened in shock.
