Heidi stammered, “A d-doctor?”

Jeremy smiled and said, “Please open the door and let me in to give her a checkup.”

“That won’t do,” Heidi said, fearing he would find out that Jessica’s milk had been spiked with contraceptive pills. “Ms. Marsh’s wounds aren’t located at a spot where a male doctor should check. Why don’t you just pass me the medicine?”

“I don’t need to examine her; I just need to ask her a few questions,” Jeremy insisted, dropping the polite demeanor. “Move aside.”

Heidi was afraid that Jeremy would realize something was amiss if she continued to protest. Furthermore, the doctor was Wyatt’s friend.

Left without a choice, she opened the door and invited Jeremy into the room. She took a look to see whether Jessica was done with her food so that she could take the tray away, only to realize in shock that Jessica did not drink the milk at all.

“Please leave the room,” Jeremy said to Heidi. “I don’t like people disturbing me while I work.”

“I… I’ll take the tray away then.” The more Heidi looked at the milk, the more panicked she became. “Ms. Marsh, was the breakfast this morning not to your liking? I’ll get you a different serving.”

However, Jeremy stopped Heidi in her tracks. With a smile, he said, “Please leave it. After I take her blood, she’ll need to have some sweet stuff.”

Right as Heidi parted her lips to say something, Jeremy added, “Please head out for now.”

Hence, Heidi had no choice but to exit the room.

Once the two of them were the only ones in the room, Jeremy finally had the time to take in Jessica’s physical state. She looked much thinner, and her face was pale. It was a stark contrast from what she used to be like.

Furthermore, she was covered in bruises.

“Wyatt…” Jeremy wanted to make a comment, but he soon realized it was not his place to intervene. Thus, he shook his head and walked over to open his medical kit instead.

He then asked Jessica, “Can I do a blood test for you?”

Jessica pursed her lips in silence, but she stretched out her arm for him.

Jeremy then pricked her index finger and let the blood drip on the blood-sampling device.

In less than ten seconds, the device came up with the results of Jessica’s physical condition.
