Though feeling guilty, Amber refused to admit it and braced Hugh's angry glare as she quickly said, "Why would I lie to you, Mr. Turnbull? That prick is just bullshiting to mess with you. Don't fall for his ploy!" Nonetheless, Hugh was wary even though Amber's take was reasonable, as Frank was right about his condition.

He quietly sneaked away, finding a man with a square jaw in the crowd and asking under his breath, "Dr. Jackson, could you take a look at me, and see if there's really something wrong?" The man with a square jaw, Dennis Jackson, was the chief of Zamri Hospital and one of Zamri's Three Bears.

However, he was only allowed to attend the charity auction because it happened to be held in Zamri. Even though Gene owned his hospital, he was the lowest in pecking order among the guests present. However, he still had some degree of authority in Zamri, and seeing that a Turnbull heir was approaching him, he smiled as he took Hugh's pulse.

He then checked Hugh's tongue and other vitals, thinking to himself for a moment before saying softly, "You're fine, Mr. Turnbull-you're just a little weak in the kidneys. With a little supplementation, you'll be good as new."

Hugh was immediately relieved, and glared hostilely at Frank, who was having a chat with Ned.

How dare he mess with him with such lies! That only added to the list of grievances Hugh held against Frank, and he vowed to bury him!

On the other hand, Frank vaguely sensed someone watching him.

He turned to find Hugh glowering at him, as well as the middle-aged doctor who took his pulse.
