"Alright."
Gary Reed followed the instructions with utmost care.
At this moment, old Mr. Wilson finally managed to swallow the medicine without much trouble.
Then, suddenly, Mr. Wilson coughed, and his previously shallow breathing seemed to gain a bit of strength.
His heart, which had nearly stopped, slowly resumed a steady rhythm.
Gary, supporting Mr. Wilson, felt every change. He could hardly believe his senses—just like that, in a matter of minutes, the crisis seemed to have passed.
Camila Davis, on the other hand, looked unsurprised.
Although Mr. Wilson had been unconscious for more than an hour, thankfully it hadn’t been too long. The improved medication worked fast—it could keep him alive and buy her the time she needed for further treatment.
Later on, as soon as Camila removed the IV, Mr. Wilson, who’d been out cold, suddenly woke up.
"Mr. Wilson! Mr. Wilson!"
Gary’s relief was palpable as he hurried over. "How are you feeling? Anywhere still hurting?"
Mr. Wilson looked a bit weak, but he could speak normally. "Honestly… I feel alright? Just now, my chest felt tight and my heart hurt so bad I thought I was a goner. But now? My breathing’s easy, and my heart’s not pounding out of my chest anymore."
