Chapter 111

Elizabeth's body jerked in a series of violent convulsions, her face furning a dusky blite as though the very breath of life were slipping away.

Agony etched itself across her features, and her ragged scream ripped through the air, sending nurses and doctors scrambling to respond.

Alarms blared from both sides of her bed, the machines' frantic beeping echoing off the stark white walls, amplifying the sense of impending disaster.

“What on earth is happening?” Dr. Yorick's complexion went pale his eyes brimming with shock.

Jasmine's expression hardened. "Explain this, Dr. Yorick!" she demanded, her voice laced with desperation.

"That can't be right... She was stable just a few hours ago," he muttered, unease creeping into his tone.

"Doctor, her heartbeat's crashing!" a nurse shouted, voice high with urgency.

"Get the defibrillator-now!" the head doctor barked.

The medical team mobilized, hands flying as they fought to stabilize Elizabeth.

Jasmine's breath caught, and tears gathered in her eyes as she clung to the bed's railing. "No, please..."

Charles's eyes narrowed.

Beneath his outward composure, he clenched his hand into a fist-something like triumph gleamed there.

"You son of a-!" Jasmine whirled on Dr. Yorick, fury shaking her voice.

She grabbed the doctor by his collar, nails digging in. “I told you not to pull out those needles! Now look at her-dying-and all you can do is babble? If you can't save her, I'll make sure you end up in the ground with her!"
