All the noise and discussion ended when Tina started to talk.

“Maria, Mom is right. This medicine…hasn’t been tested by a doctor. Let’s not talk about whether it’s effective or not. What if…it’s poisoned?” Sean tightened his grip on the velvet box, the pill lay quietly in the middle, emitting a soft and faint luster. However, it made people unable to take their eyes off it.

Maria’s hand, which had been reaching out for the pill, seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. It fell straight down onto the sofa.

Maria’s chest, which had been heaving up and down violently at the beginning, stopped moving. She closed her eyes and looked like a doll that had suddenly lost its vitality. Her face was pale.

The early morning sunlight shone in, making her face even paler.

“Mom! Mom!”

“Maria!”

In an instant, the room was filled with screams, exclamations, the sound of people walking around, and the anxious voice of Franklin on the phone.

Franklin hung up the phone and ran back to where his mum was.

“How is it? How long will it take for the doctor and the others to arrive?”

“Not so fast. The nearest hospital is still an hour away. Why didn’t you bring our family doctor with you when you knew mom’s condition was so dangerous?”

“This is not the time to talk about this. Let’s see how we can save Mom first!”

Lauren took a step forward and grabbed the pill.

“Give this pill to Mom, and she will wake up!”

After saying this, Lauren took the pill and was about to feed it to Maria.

Sean frowned and waved Lauren’s hand away.

“No!”

Sean’s expression was very serious. When he looked at Lauren, he seemed to think that she was a troublemaker.

If it had been anything else, Lauren might have backed down. But not on this matter where it concerned Maria’s life.

After being pushed aside by Sean, Lauren ignored him and went forward.

“Franklin and Quinn, discipline her!” At this moment, Sean did not have much patience.

“Dad…maybe Lauren’s pills will work. Why don’t you…let Mom try it?”

As if he had just heard a fairy tale, Sean lifted his head and looked at Franklin.

“There’s no other way. This is the only solution now,” Franklin said as he looked at Maria “Also, I believe in Lauren.”

Quinn nodded as well. He rarely spoke when there was Franklin around because what he said wouldn’t have any influence. However, at this moment, he said, “I believe in Lauren as well.”

“Me too. Since Lauren said that it’s okay, then it’s okay,” Bryce also chimed in when he saw that his two older brothers spoke their minds.

Looking at Sean who was still hesitating as if he was trying to avoid conflict with Tina, Franklin urged, “Dad, Mom is in great danger, we don’t have time to think.”

Lauren stood there with the pill in her hand. She didn’t know if it was poison or an antidote.

Sean hesitated as he loved his wife dearly.

But in the end, he picked up the pill and put it into Maria’s mouth with trembling hands.

At first, Sean thought that it would be difficult for Maria to swallow such a big pill.

To his surprise, the pill seemed to have its own consciousness. As soon as he put it into Maria’s mouth, the pill melted and a faint fragrance instantly filled the room.

Outside the window, there was the cry of an unknown bird.

Everyone held their breath at this moment as if they were waiting for a miracle to happen.

However, the miracle didn’t happen. Everyone waited as the pill completely dissolved in Maria’s mouth. A few minutes passed, but Maria Julian still showed no signs of waking up.

Not only did she not wake up, but her originally pale face suddenly turned black and purple. She looked a little scary.

“What kind of medicine did she take? Why does her condition look more serious?”

“Is it poison? It looks like she has been poisoned.”

Some people at the back were whispering to each other, and everyone in the room could hear them clearly.

Lauren had never used this revival pill before. This was also the first time she had seen such a situation. She did not know if it was normal or not.

However, the gifts given by the system had never caused any problem. Therefore, Lauren was only surprised for a moment when she saw Maria. But she quickly calmed down.

‘The others were not as calm as Lauren, especially those from the Torres family.

Sean stood up with sweat all over his forehead.

“No, we can’t just sit here and do nothing. We’ll drive there to save time.”

Then he picked up Maria and walked out of the door. Franklin and the others followed after him, Lauren wanted to follow too, but she was stopped by Tina..
