Chapter 110

She shook her head, took a slow breath. "No. It's done. I won't waste more time on him."

"But-

"That's enough,” she said, cutting him off. "We need to focus on what really matters-I don't want any trouble that could make Jasmine back out. He is too close to Kingston right now."

Reluctantly, Marco nodded.

Meanwhile, Alex arrived at Vancouver's premier hospital.

Jasmine led him down a corridor into a VVIP suite, where an elderly woman- Elizabeth Kingston, Jasmine's grandmother-lay pale and frail in a bed.

Her skin looked paper-thin, her lips were cracked, and her breathing was shallow. Several doctors stood nearby, looking grim.

"Jasmine, where have you been?" a man's voice demanded.

Charles, Jasmine's older brother, glared as soon as she walked in."Grandma could be breathing her last, and you're off who-knows-where?"

"Are you saying Grandma can't be saved anymore, just because you believe there's no hope?" Jasmine snapped back.

"I'm just telling the truth," Charles retorted. "She's in the final stage of cancer. She's too old and frail for surgery. Ask the doctors if you don't believe me."

A weary-looking physician sighed. "We've done everything we can, Miss Kingston. There's nothing else we can do for her."

Jasmine set her jaw. "Then we'll find someone else. I'm putting Mr. Alex in charge."

"Mr. Alex?" The doctors looked puzzled, clearly doubting a man so young could help.

Charles scoffed openly. "You've got to be joking. He might be able to help you since you are young. Look at him-he's no miracle worker. You really think he's some kind of healing god? Grandma's old and dying. This is fate.”

Jasmine's eyes blazed with defiance. "As long as Grandma's heart is still beating, I'll never give up on her. Step aside, Charles, if all you can do is wait for her to die and her inheritance to land in your lap."

Charles's lips twisted in anger.
