Chapter 32 The Unwanted Savior

Finished

The man supporting the old lady on the bed looked up when he saw Yunice. Surprise flashed across his face–followed immediately by a frown.

Yunice was equally shocked to find Wyatt here.

But she quickly turned her attention to the woman lying in bed:

An elderly lady, likely pushing seventy, was convulsing uncontrollably. Her eyes had rolled upward, dazed and unfocused.

What made Yunice frown even more was that Wyatt had his wrist pressed to the old woman’s mouth–already bitten so hard it had left deep marks.

Wyatt’s expression was grim. He glanced at Yunice once before snapping at the maids, “Where the hell is the doctor!”

The maid who had led Yunice in stammered. “She’s the doctor!”

Wyatt shot Yunice a cold glare, his anger only rising “Her? A doctor? Don’t be ridiculous!”

Yunice flinched at his scolding, startled. For a second, she genuinely questioned whether this was the same man who had gently applied medicated oil to her bruises just days ago.

The old woman looked as though she might stop breathing at any moment. Wyatt, unable to trust the maids, pulled out his phone and angrily called Mengchu, demanding he find the best specialist immediately.

The two maids froze, staring at him in terrified silence.

Wyan’s eyes widened, glaring furiously at the “little white rabbit” who had knocked him over.

But Yunice wasn’t even looking at him.

Her brows were furrowed in concentration. She quickly turned the elderly woman onto her side, swept her mouth for obstructions, and gently supported her chin so her neck could extend naturally.

The old lady kept convulsing. Foam and saliva spilled from her mouth. She looked moments away from death.

Yunice, calm and focused, said evenly, “She’s seizing. You cannot let her airway get blocked.”

She glanced at Wyatt. “Letting her bite your arm like that is dangerous. She could easily choke on the secretions and suffocate. That could kill her in minutes.”

Wyatt’s anger began to fade as he listened..

Varner acked “How Inne has the heen seivina?”

“You can’t force a seizure to stop. You have to let it run its course, Yunice replied.

“And if it doesn’t stop-
