Chapter 1147:

Elma, though not my flesh and blood, has been like a daughter to me since I have watched her grow up. I’ll ensure she receives the finest medical care. However, I must caution you—since you intoxicated Jake and he ended up being poisoned, you stand out as the suspect, and he hates you to your core. Should you decide…”
