Chapter 1043

Layla expertly placed her slender fingers on Stefan's wrist, checking his pulse. After a few seconds, her delicate

features wrinkled in concentration.

"What's wrong? Is my son's condition serious?" Francine stood beside her, feeling worried seeing Layla's expression.

After around a minute, Layla finally moved her hand away, and gave a long sigh. "Master Hunt's pulse is very

chaotic, it was weak yet as fast as a rushing river. It seems like a typical case of cerebral hemorrhage. It's like it has

recently been damaged or been through trauma. The situation is dire. IV

"Th... The brain has been damaged?" Francine looked at Stefan with a heavy heart, unable to process what her

darling son had gone through.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Seraphina snarled at Layla, "You immature child! How dare you say such things when

medical experts just reported that Stefan's body was in stable condition? Why are you scaring us with all this talk of

cerebral hemorrhage? Are you cursing him?"

Despite looking young, Layla was calm and composed." Well, this is what I diagnosed from the perspective of a

traditional doctor. If you believe that it is incorrect, Miss Murphy, please feel free to switch hospitals and have

another doctor do a full body checkup on Master Hunt. I believe that the results will be fair then."

"Easy for you to say! Stefan's body hasn't healed yet, and he's only just gotten better! If he switches hospitals now,

he'll get even worse!" Seraphina could not allow Stefan to switch hospitals, at least not until the damage in his brain

had healed. Otherwise, the things Jovan and her had done would be exposed, and they would be doomed.

"Miss Murphy, please believe in my skills. Master Hunt's pulse really is very unusual. Even if we don't switch

hospitals, surely you would accept a traditional doctor's methods?" Layla's words made complete sense, which

proved her right to be there. It also made it impossible for Seraphina to refuse, since it would seem like she was

making a fuss again.

Seraphina's mind raced to find a way out of this. "Oh, I remember something. Last night, Stefan drank a cup of

medicinal tea! Could it be that the tea had some issues that caused his stable condition to change?"

That could be the case.” Layla nodded. "If I could see the recipe for the tea, it would help."

"The recipe... Oh yes, there was a recipe!" Seraphina walked over to the trash can, and bent down to retrieve the

paper she had crumpled up earlier. She then handed it to Layla.

"If you really are so renowned, then see if there's anything wrong with this medicinal tea... but I have no doubt that

it must be the tea that caused it. How else could a perfectly healthy person suddenly get worse after merely

drinking medicinal tea?"

Layla took the paper and started to read through it carefully before her expression turned into one of shock.

"Wh...Who gave you this recipe?"

"I was right, wasn't I? It was all the tea's fault!" Seraphina cried out in triumph.

She thought to herself, 'Hmph, I should have known that Everheart would not have left anything useful in the recipe

forthat medicinal tea. Good, now I can manipulate them with ease.'

"What's wrong with the instructions?" Stefan, who had been quiet the entire time, asked in a frosty tone, his

expression dark.

"To answer your question, Master Hunt, there is something wrong with this recipe... It's simply too good to be true!

Each medicinal ingredient in it is nothing special individually, but when combined, they have miraculous effects. It

must be the work of a genius doctor!"
