Chapter 229 Carter stopped abruptly as he spotted Jeremerging from the safety door after a call.
He blurted out, “Jerome, you have to stand up for Kylie! Look how devastated she is now!” Jerglanced over at Mikayla, only to be met with her deadpan eyes.
Mikayla managed to deduce what happened from Carter's words.
Kylle fell sick in the resort after she took the medicine Jerbought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was then rushed to the hospital to have her stomach flushed out, and Carter suspected that Mikayla was responsible for the incident.
It turned out that Jerleft in a hurry because Kylie was admitted to the hospital.
She was summoned to the hospital for Kylie’s sake as well.
“Dad, this might be a misunderstanding. Don’t put Jerin a tough spot,” Kylie interrupted weakly.
“Kylie, you're being too considerate!” Carter exclaimed.
His heart ached as he continued, “Tell me, how many times did Mikayla hurt you? | wouldn't have known if it wasn't for Agatha’s slip!” Kylie endured her discomfort and replied, “Those were just sminor injuries. It’s not a big deal. Jerhad already apologized in her stead, after all.” “Minor injuries? Don’t you takeas a fool! Your head was literally bleeding, and there were bruises on your neck. You would've been strangled to death if Jerdidn’t show up in the nick of time! Carter hollered.
“I demand an explanation for this, no matter what!” He glowered at Mikayla.
Just then, the elevator arrived.
Jersaid calmly, “Mr. White, let's head to the ward first. We'll discuss this there.” “Alright.” Carter's tone was laced with fury as he began to wheel Kylie’s gurney into the elevator.
Mikayla remained rooted to the spot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJerchanced another glance at her and said, “Cwith us.” She sneered. “What does this have to do with me? Why did you ask for me, and why should | follow you guys to the ward?” “Why, you!” Carter almost burst into a fit of rage, but Kylie tugged on his sleeve.
“Forget it, Dad. Let her be.” Seeing how unwavering Mikayla was, Jerpolitely urged the two nurses to leave first. “Please give us a moment.” 7/2 The nurses, perhaps stunned by his domineering presence, exchanged glances and left.
The elevator’s door closed, and Jerome’s gaze shifted toward Mikayla.
“Did you tamper with Kylie’s medicine in the car tonight?” Mikayla scowled. “Can’t you at least letknow what happened before you start interrogating me? | literally have no clue about what's happening. How am | supposed to answer your question?” Jerignored her taunt, and continued coolly, “I had people verify, the medicine, and it's perfectly fine. So, it isn’t the pharmacy’s fault. The server didn’t stop anywhere else when she delivered the medicine.” *Since you already have an answer and haveconvicted, what's the point of askingagain?” Mikayla scoffed.
A hint of anger flashed across his face. “Quit the nonsense, Mikayla. We're dealing with facts here. Kylie ingested propranolol tablets, which are incompatible with the antibiotic amoxicillin by error. Her condition was nearly fatal.
| requested for you here to get rid of any possibilities.” Mikayla decided to set her displeasure from being doubted aside. She figured acting spiteful wasn’t going to solve the issue.
She recomposed herself and said, “I didn’t tamper with her medicine, so | have no idea what you're talking about.” Jerome's expression was indiscernible as he replied, “The pharmacy’s security footage showed that you lingered around the antibiotics section for quite stime.
In fact, Mikayla did linger around in front of sshelves to avoid Jerome. “Then, you should've known that I did not purchase any propranolol tablets.”
