The moment that timeframe was mentioned, a wave of anticipation swept through the group.

The Marshall family, Joseph, Kashton, and a small circle of medical staff clustered together, their eyes locked on

“Keep dreaming, He’s not waking up.” Higgs muttered to himself from the back, where he sat alongside Nadia and Leon. The three of them wore quiet looks of triumph

If Hizzp hadn’t slipped in that second dose of poison just minutes ago, the three of them might’ve felt a flicker of doubt. But now, they sat with unshakable confidence.

Chapter 326 The Condition Worsened

With each passing second, the tension thickened. After ten long minutes, a subtle shift flickered across their

faces.

“Something’s wrong. His condition is getting worse.”

“Could there be a chance that the wrong compound was given?”

One of the attending physicians stepped forward, alarm in his voice as

wasn’t leveling out–it was crashing fast.

reported that Calvert’s condition

A bluish tint had crept across Calvert’s face, a clear sign that his body was slipping into a critical state.

The symptoms were clear–sharp, aggressive, and unmistakably poison.

And now, the signs were growing even more severe by the second.

“This doesn’t make sense.” Staring at the monitor, Joseph couldn’t understand it. Even if the remedy failed,

Calvert shouldn’t have gotten worse.

That moment of confusion was all Higgs and Leon needed.

“This was your scheme from the beginning, wasn’t it? You called it a cure, but you came here to finish the job!” Higgs yelled, his voice echoing through the room.

Leon didn’t hesitate to pile on. “We trusted you with his life. Now it’s clear–you’re part of whatever conspiracy poisoned him in the first place!”

As soon as the accusations were spoken, a wave of instinctive tension swept through the room.

Hope was beginning to fade as the Marshall family glanced at one another, their looks laced with growing

suspicion.

“You’re making that up!” Joseph snapped, his hands trembling with rage. Never in his entire career had anyone dared accuse him of such

Convincing the Marshall family wasn’t going to be that easy, though.

“If that’s true, then why is his condition getting worse?” someone challenged.

Whatever fight Calvert had left

him was fading fast. The way things looked, he wouldn’t last another hour.

“I…” Kashton began, but the rest caught in his throat.

With unease creeping in, he glanced over at Joseph. “What’s going on here?”

“Honestly, I’m as confused as you are. I didn’t put anything harmful in the mix. Nothing in it should’ve sped things up like this,” Joseph replied, clearly shaken.

The stunned looks they exchanged did little to sway anyone’s doubt.

All evidence pointed in one direction. Calvert’s decline had started right after Joseph stepped in. That much, the Marshall family no longer questioned.
