The crowd inhaled sharply as fear crept into their hearts.
“No wonder Mrs. Farwell's arteries became so narrow,” someone muttered under their breath.
Peregrine had a keen hearing, and he lifted his feet to deliver a light kick on that person's leg. “Why didn't you look more into it if you've already discovered that?”
That person was not expecting a kick from Peregrine, but he was not at all angry about it. In fact, he was embarrassed.
After all, Peregrine was the role model they admired back when they were younger. It was an honor to be taught a lesson by their role model.
The person lowered his head and told Peregrine what happened the night before adding, “We've already done all the tests we could, but we couldn't find what was making Mrs. Farwell's arteries narrow and expand. It's only after your diagnosis did we realize what was going on.”
A beat later, he continued guiltily, “Mrs. Farwell was fine during her stay in the hospital up until last night. She returned to her initial state after our treatment. There was nothing strange at all.”
“The lack of anything strange is what's strangest!” Peregrine kept his hands behind his back as a grave expression crossed his face. “Dangerous changes are going on in her, but you doctors didn't even realize that!”
The other doctors kept their heads lowered.
Peregrine looked at them the same way he looked at his past students. Without realizing it, he began to explain Roxanne's condition in detail to them.
However, some were still confused by his explanation. “Old Mr. Lomax, we know about that, but what do we do now?”
Peregrine snapped his brows together. “Do you really need to ask me that despite how clear I've made things out to be? Find a way to relax her arteries. Otherwise, she might not even be able to stay alive three days later!”
Everyone's hearts lurched when they heard that, and the doctors quickly inclined their heads before working on their respective tasks.
Peregrine continued to watch them with somber eyes as the other doctors busied away. At the same time, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
