Chapter 1539

Jamie was in a terrible state. Her injuries from shielding Ben during the stabbing incident hadn't healed, and now, thanks to Summer's scheming, she had developed a fever soaring to a dangerous 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lying in bed, delirious and motionless, Jamie didn't even realize how bad things had gotten. When the housekeeper came to deliver her meal and saw her lying there unresponsive, panic took over.

"Mr. Lucas, Miss Lewis looks like she's dead!" the housekeeper stammered, trembling with fear.

"What did you just say?" Ben shot up from his chair, his piercing gaze locking onto the housekeeper.

The housekeeper could barely meet his eyes, shrinking under the intensity of his glare. Ben had never looked so alarmed, his usual composure replaced by a pale, stricken expression.

Without waiting for further explanation, Ben bolted out of his study, stumbling as he rushed down the hallway.

He rattled off a list of his recent "patients."
