His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 2279

However, even with a heartbeat, Lily still looked weak.

Fred noticed this and turned to the doctor. "Examine her!"

They immediately did as told, and one of them announced, "Your Grace, she's out of danger, but she's fragile. She will need time to recuperate."

"For how long?" Fred said with a frown.

"Two weeks at least."

"That long?"

Fred looked grim. He could not wait that long, but there was no other way. He marched toward Dominic and grabbed him by his collar. "How dare you mess with me, old man? What if she had died?" Pointing toward Lily, he thought of what happened and felt his anger rise.

If Lily had died, all his efforts would have gone to waste.

Dominic simply burst out laughing.

Fred was about to punch Dominic again when a doctor whispered into his ear, "Perhaps he was trying to save her."

"What do you mean?" Fred looked at the doctor with a frown.

After some hesitation, the man answered truthfully, "I've read about a technique like this in ancient texts. It involves worsening the patients' conditions in the hopes of reviving them."

This technique was akin to using a defibrillator, the machine they had not dared to use. No one wanted to take the risk. If Lily had died, the one whose hands she had died by would suffer Fred's wrath.

"Are you saying he was trying to save instead of killing her just now?" Fred narrowed his eyes incredulously.

Judging by the old man's expression, that did not seem like the case. Furthermore, Dominic had not even tried to explain his actions.

"Based on Lily's conditions, I think he was."

After all, Lily was not only revived, but her vital signs also showed significant improvement.

"Was that what you were doing?" Fred asked with a half-smile as he loomed over Dominic, who simply sneered in response.

Dominic’s dismissive attitude irritated Fred, but he could not kill the old man for now, as he still needed him.
