Chapter 12

A few minutes after Alex arrived at Kingston's mansion, the old butler, already waiting at the entrance, greeted

him.

"Respected Sir Alex, Master Alfred asks for forgiveness as he has not returned home yet. He asked me to guide you in checking Miss Jasmine's condition."

"No problem, take me to her," Alex replied.

The butler led Alex through the luxury long hallways. As they approached Jasmine's room, a sharp, sterile medical smell filled the air.

An older woman was already pacing back and forth there anxiously.

Upon seeing Alex, she immediately turned and rushed to him.

It was Jasmine Kingston's mother, Jessica Kingston.

"Doctor, please help my daughter!" Jessica pleaded desperately.

"Calm down. No need to worry."

Alex saw a young woman lying still on the bed, her breathing shallow and labored.

She appeared to be in her early twenties, her once-beautiful features now overshadowed by a sickly pallor. (3) Her face was ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably, and tears clung to her lashes, silently testifying to her agony. Alex placed his fingers on her wrist, while Jessica watched anxiously. Without delay, Alex turned to the butler, "I need these 19 ingredients." He listed the names of specific herbs, along with their precise weights. "Make the room temperature 35 degrees Celsius," he instructed firmly. 1 "Also, prepare a bathtub. "

"What's the bathtub for?" Jessica questioned suspiciously. 1

"Do you want to me to waste time explaining while her condition worsens, or we start treating right now?"

Alex asked solemnly.

Jasmine's condition was worsen by the second. If she wasn't treated immediately, she may not survive. (1)

"A-alright, then," Jessica mumbled.

Her anxiety grew as she realized how paler her daughter was getting as every second passed by.

She turned to the butler. "Be quick!"

The butler quickly moved to action, summoning the servants.
