“Fine! I'm not afraid,” said Miya, glaring angrily.
“Shut up, all of you! How dare you argue in Dad's room? Do you have a death wish? Whoever dares to utter another word will immediately be imprisoned on the family's ancestral land to reflect on their faults,” Lawrence warned coldly, which instantly frightened the others into silence.
Even Enrique could only look on defiantly without daring to say anything. After all, Lawrence was now the head of the family, so he had to obey.
Seeing that Lawrence had taken control of the situation, Jared stepped forward to check on Claudius' condition. After conducting a thorough examination, he could not help but frown.
“What's the matter, Mr. Chance?” Cloud asked softly.
Jared did not answer. Instead, he turned to Lawrence and enquired, “Who has been treating your father recently?”
“The three of them...” Lawrence gestured toward the three alchemists before asking, “Why? Is something wrong?”
“Do you still have the medicine he has been taking? Let me take a look,” said Jared.
Lawrence nodded and retrieved a bottle from the bedside. It contained the medicine Claudius took every day.
Taking the bottle, Jared opened it and took a sniff.
The alchemists clearly looked uneasy when they saw that and even snuck a glance at Enrique.
Realization seemed to dawn on Jared after he smelled what was inside the bottle. Without wasting any time, he sent a wave of spiritual energy into Claudius' body, then quickly pressed on a few points on the latter's body with his fingers. After that, he slowly stood up and said, “Your father does have a stubborn ailment, but it's not so serious to the point that it'd be fatal that quickly. The reason why he has become so weak is because someone drugged him. I've temporarily sealed off his vitals, so he'll be fine these next few days. I'll also write a prescription, and you can prepare the medicine accordingly.”
