Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 1342

Because Salvador assigned Galen to handle other matters, the management of Astral Prison had been left to the Supreme Court officials, with Randall overseeing it.

Later that evening, Randall arrived at Hell Monarch Estate to see Carissa. He mentioned there was something troubling him and needed her advice. Carissa only ate a few bites of her meal before rushing out to meet him, her mind preoccupied with worry about Zoey and her children.

However, when she heard Randall's concerns, she learned that the problem was with Evelyn and Viola.

Since their arrival at Astral Prison, the two women had been consumed with worry. Their meals, looking worse than what was fed to dogs, left them weak. Within days, they both began suffering from severe vomiting and diarrhea.

Carissa had already provided some medicine for easing any symptoms of an upset stomach to Zoey, and taking it had helped Evelyn and Viola. But with the continued poor food, their condition had worsened again. Now, Viola was running a high fever.

Evelyn had begged for a physician, but Randall was unable to make a decision and had come to Carissa for advice.

"What about the others? Are they experiencing the same symptoms?" she asked.

"Some of them did. After all, they went from living in luxury to being prisoners. It's hard to adjust to the food. But everyone else got better after taking medicine. Only those two seem to be getting worse."

Randall glanced at Carissa and added, "Ms. Prince looks like she's on the brink of death, while Madam Prince cries every day, nearly making herself blind with grief. Perhaps we should find a physician for them?"

Carissa paused, considering, then said, "Have you spoken to Deputy Commander Kimber? He used to handle matters at Astral Prison. He would have the authority to decide."

"I've already gone to him," Randall admitted. "Deputy Commander Kimber said that Ms. Prince left Mr. Warren when he fell from grace, so she's not a good woman. He refused to allow a physician to be called."

Carissa was taken aback; she hadn't realized Galen and Barrett had such a close relationship.

"Then, why don't you go to Mr. Carter?" she suggested.

Randall lowered his gaze, his fingers clenched. "He's placed great expectations on me. I don't want to bother him with every little issue—he'd be disappointed in me. But I truly don't know what to do. Since Deputy Commander Kimber already refused, I'm afraid to act on my own and anger him."

Carissa observed him thoughtfully. He was indeed lacking in decisiveness, yet he had a compassionate heart. In fact, once he consulted with Galen, who had given his refusal, Randall could have easily stayed out of the matter.

Carissa sighed and said, "I can't make a decision for you, but I can offer some advice. His Majesty ordered their imprisonment in Astral Prison, hoping that Mr. Prince might turn himself in, swayed by family ties. But as the one responsible for their custody, you must ensure they stay alive."
