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. Barrett knew Carissa must be the one behind this. She was employing such a despicable tactic-using his mother's health to pressure him into giving up on marrying Aurora.

Kicking the door open, he stormed into Grace Mansion.

Carissa hadn't gone to bed yet and was writing under the lamplight. Seeing her husband bursting in angrily, she frowned, clearly expecting an interrogation.

"Holly, Lily, Lulu, please leave us," Carissa instructed.

Barrett's imposing figure advanced slowly toward his wife, his face as cold as frost.
