Chapter 20

When Rebecca fell ill, it caused a stir in the estate for half the night. Eventually, they had to call for a royal physician to temporarily stabilize her condition.

The royal physician told Barrett, "I've treated Madam Warren before, but my skills are limited. The best physician in the capital for treating heart ailments is Sebastian. His medicine, Snowdrop Pills, is the only thing that can save her life.

"I've managed to control her condition for now because she's been taking those pills for a year, but if her episodes become more frequent in the future, there's little more I can do."

With that, the physician took his leave.

Furious, Barrett's eyes were bloodshot. He had personally gone to Sebastian's clinic to ask. him to treat Rebecca, but the physician had refused to see him.
