Chapter 382

The doctor lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly. “I don’t know why…

Victor didn’t say anything more, his gaze was fixed on Jackson’s face. The man’s complexion grew increasingly pale, like a thin sheet of cold paper. What on earth is going on? Why did Mr. Bane… he wondered.

Thinking about this, Victor suddenly turns make Mr. Bane faint?”

looked at Oneida by the window. “Mrs. Bane, what exactly happened to

After all, just a moment ago, only Jackson and Oneida were together. Only Oneida knew what transpired.

Hearing his question, Oncida looked up at him. Then, she gently shook her head. She didn’t know either Jackson suddenly collapsed, and she also wanted to understand why.

Victor’s eyes darkened a bit. He seemed to think of something and muttered to himself, “Right, we could go find the miracle doctor, the one who cured Mrs. Ruth Bane last time…”

Upon hearing this, Oneila’s expression finally showed some emotion. She pressed her lips together and didn’t speak, but she thought to herself

This time, finding the miracle doctor wouldn’t help….

The miracle doctor was already here. Moments ago, she had examined Jackson’s condition and couldn’t find the root cause.

Jackson…

Oneida silently repeated his name in her mind, her expression increasingly solemn. Unwilling to give up, she returned to Jackson’s side.

“Let me take another look.” She lowered her eyes, squatting beside the bed, and carefully examined Jackson again.

Both the doctor and Victor stood by quietly, watching Oneida’s actions without interrupting. They knew that Oneida had some medical knowledge, so there was no harm in letting her check.

Oneida used all her medical skills, trying her best, but She couldn’t find the problem.

Withdrawing her hand, Oneida stared down, her eyes filled with deep and turbulent emotions. Seeing this, Victor couldn’t help but comfort her, “Mrs. Bane, don’t be too upset… We’ll find a way

Oncida wasn’t exactly upset. She just felt lost and helpless. She hadn’t felt this way in a long time. She used to be confident, always in control. But now, she felt flustered.

Because Jackson’s condition was unknown to her. She didn’t know where the problem lay…

For the first time, she encountered a situation where she felt powerless.

Take good care of him first. Leaving those words behind, Oneida walked out of the bedroom alone.

She felt that to find out the cause of Jackson’s sudden collapse, they must thoroughly investigate what he had been doing these past few days. Were there any unusual incidents he encountered?

Oneida immediately called over Carlos and a few servants t brains, sharing everything they knew.

to ask about Jackson’s recent activities. The servants racked their

With an indifferent expression, Oneida listened carefully. From what they described, Jackson’s life seemed pretty normal these past few days, with nothing particularly notable. Oneida furrowed her brows even deeper.

Chapter 382

“Well, I think I saw… At this moment, one of the maids suddenly looked up, her eyes bright as she glanced at Oneida.

“Saw what?” Oneida narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sharp and piercing.

The maid cautiously said. “I saw Ms. Winslow come to see Mr. Bane… They were talking at the door of the study. I even saw her reach out to grab his hand…

The maid stopped speaking, and then carefully observed Oneida’s reaction, fearing Oneida might be unhappy with this Information.

However, Oneida showed no sign of displeasure. She just paised, subconsciously repeating, “Cece came to see him?”

The maid nodded vigorously, “It’s true. I saw it with my eyes.”

Oneida’s lips pressed tightly together. Her beautiful eyes, deep and mysterious, gave off an eerie vibe. When Cece returned to Garrison Mansion, Oneida already felt something was off about her, but she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly. Could it be… Oneida’s eyes flickered, her face covered in a cold, icy sheen..

“Mrs. Bane, do you want to ask anything else?” Seeing Oneida’s terrifying expression, one of the maids couldn’t help but ask timidly.

“You may leave.” Oneida said softly, snapping back to reality.

The servants all breathed a sigh of relief. Being interrogated by Oneida was quite stressful.

After Carlos and the servants left, Oneida didn’t stay in place. Instead, she walked directly toward Cece’s bedroom. She couldn’t be sure if Jackson’s sudden incident had anything to do with Cece, but she couldn’t take any chances.

‘Cece better be innocent, or else… Oneida mused as her fingers tightened, her usually calm face now lit with a chilling, cold

aura..

Soon, Oneida reached Cece’s door and knocked quickly.

After waiting for about five seconds, the door opened. Cece’s plain, delicate face appeared before Oneida. She looked at Oneida with some hesitance, clearly on guard. “What’s going on

Oneida gave Cece a cool glance. “Not going to invite me in for a chat?”

Cece’s gaze faltered, and she nervously fidgeted with her fingers. For some reason, the sight of Oneida’s domineering demeanor made her feel extremely guilty.

Before she could respond, Oneida slammed her palm against the door.

“Bang!” The door swung wide open,

Cece had no time to react as Oneida swaggered into the room, completely disregarding her. Fury ignited in Cece’s heart. She shut the door and turned around, just about to demand an explanation….

But then, a cold, pale hand suddenly appeared before her. Cece’s eyes widened in shock and she barely had time to unter a sound before the hand wrapped around her neck.

“You…” she struggled.

But Oneida gripped her throat tighter and shoved her against the door. Cece was pinned, unable to move, her spine aching from the impact. Oneida stood tall before her, one hand clamped around her neck.
