Chapter 397
Lena dashed over to Ryan, her steps quick and sure.
"Ryan, what's going on? What happened?"
Ryan was beside himself with worry. "Miss Josefina, my sister suddenly started frothing at the mouth, and our family doctor is completely stumped. I was hoping you could..."
Before Ryan could finish, Lena cut in urgently, "I'll go check on her."
Without waiting for Ryan's response, Lena sprinted off, looking genuinely worried about Jane.
Ryan followed Lena but stopped after a few steps, turning back with pleading eyes. "Ms. Josefina, could you please come too?"
Josefina nodded. "I'll grab my medical kit and be right there."
"Thank you so much, Ms. Josefina. We really appreciate it."
As Josefina went to get her tools, the others followed Ryan to see what was going
on.
Lena picked up a stethoscope, her face serious. "Ryan, what did Jane eat today?"
"She had a bowl of mushroom soup this morning and a couple of buns. That's it. She's been in the garden all day, so she definitely didn't eat anything else."
Jane was in charge of the garden, pruning, fertilizing, and watering the plants. When she was busy, she didn't have time to eat.
Holding the stethoscope, Lena told Ryan, "I'll mix up some medicine for Jane, and we'll give it to her soon."
Ryan nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank you, Miss Josefina. Thank you so much."
"Ryan, you don't need to be so formal," Lena said, putting the stethoscope back in its case.
She then took out some pills, taking two from each of three different bottles.
"Ryan, I've got some medicine here. Let's give it to Jane now."
Ryan looked at the pills hesitantly. "Shouldn't we take her to the hospital?"
"No need. These will do the trick. Ryan, do you really think I'd lie to
you? This is a matter of tonet
life and
death; I wouldn't deceive anyone." s Content originally comes from FιndNovel.net
Ryan took the medicine without further thought and prepared to give it to Jane.
Just then, Josefina walked in, carrying her medical bag.
"Jane hasn't woken up yet. Are we really going to give her medicine like this?"
Lena looked up with a smile. "Sis, if we don't give Jane the medicine now and her condition worsens, the consequences could be dire."
"Ms. Josefina, you're here," Ryan
said, his voice tinged with excitement. Everyone knew Ms. Josefina was a miracle worker in the
medical field; maybe she had a better solution. s
If all else failed, they could still give Jane the medicine.
Josefina approached, set her bag, down, and began to take
pulse.

Lena had never seen such a pill before and asked, "Sis, what kind of medicine is that?"
Josefina replied, "It's my own concoction, not available on the market, which is why you haven't seen it before."
"Is it safe?" Lena asked.
Josefina shot back, "Would I use it if it weren't safe for Jane?"
Josefina continued, "Jane's been poisoned."
"What?!" Everyone gasped.
How could Jane be poisoned out of the blue?
Lena asked, "Poisoned? But they all ate the same food. Why is she the only one affected?"
Another servant chimed in, "I had the same meal as Jane, and I didn't eat anything else either."
Josefina explained, "Is there a yew tree in the garden? Its sap reacts with an ingredient in the perfume Jane used today."
Lena was nervous; she hadn't expected Josefina to figure out such a detail.
Had Josefina's medical expertise truly reached such a profound level?
