Chapter 424

After waiting for a few minutes, Seb suddenly got up, walked over, and locked the door. H

e rushed into the bathroom, leaned over the sink, and used his fingers to induce vomiting, trying to get rid of the medicine he had just taken.

Seb knew something was off with the medicine; Bradley must have messed with it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such poor spirits, nor would he be out of it all day.

Besides, Siena always brought the medicine herself and made sure he took it right in front of her.

Seb was utterly oblivious to Bella's whereabouts.

He had to play along, taking the medicine and then throwing it up.

But he couldn't get rid of it all; some of it always got into his system.

Seb could tell his mental state had been getting worse over the past few days.

Even while working, he kept getting distracted, which was totally unlike him.

The most obvious change was his memory getting worse.

He used to remember everything without needing Jack's help.

But lately, he even forgot the time for the morning meeting.

Seb washed his face and looked at his haggard reflection in the mirror, worry in his eyes.

'If this keeps up, I'll lose my memory! If I forget Bella one day, what will I do?' he thought, anxiety creeping in. 'I need a new plan; I can't keep doing this.'

As he contemplated, Seb already came up with a plan.

The next day, when Siena brought the medicine again, Seb didn't refuse and gulped it down.

Seeing this, Siena's face lit up with satisfaction.

Bradley had told her that if Seb took this medicine for a month, he'd completely forget who Isabella was and become subservient to her.

The thought made Siena super excited.

Siena didn't know where Bradley got the medicine from, nor did she care about its ingredients. She only cared about the results.

As long as the results were good, even if Bradley gave her poison, she'd feed it to Seb without hesitation.

Siena even thought Bradley was amazing for having such a miraculous drug.

She believed it wouldn't be long before she could become Mrs. Landon and stand proudly by Seb's side.

The more she thought about it, the more smug she became.

But just as Siena reached out to take the empty bowl, Seb suddenly flipped his hand, sending the bowl crashing to the ground.

Before Siena could react, she watched in horror as Seb collapsed in front of her.

"Seb!" Siena exclaimed in shock.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Siena hurried to open the door, her heart pounding. "Jack, something's wrong. Seb fainted!"

Jack strode into the living room, his expression tense. "How did this happen?" he demanded.

"I don't know," Siena replied, shaking her head in confusion. "He was fine just a moment ago. But after taking the medicine, he suddenly collapsed."

Jack crouched down, placed his fingers under Seb's nose to check his breathing, and then said to Siena, "Grab the car keys quickly; we need to take Mr. Landon to the hospital!"

Siena hesitated, "Maybe I should call Mr. Vaughn first?"

As Siena turned to leave, Jack called out urgently, "No, Mr. Landon is bleeding!"

"What?" Siena spun around, her eyes widening in horror as she saw blood trickling from Seb's mouth.

Her face turned pale with fear. "How could this happen?"

Jack kept his cool and said, "Mr. Landon's in bad shape. Even if Bradley shows up, we don't have the right medical gear here to examine and treat Mr. Landon. We have to get him to the hospital! We can wait, but Mr. Landon might not make it."

Seeing Seb's pale face, Siena freaked out.

She couldn't tell if it was the blood at the corner of his mouth, but his complexion seemed unusually pale, as though he were teetering on the edge of death.

Jack made sense, so she grabbed the car keys, and then they rushed to the hospital.

As soon as they got there, Seb was taken into the emergency room. Jack and Siena waited outside.

Feeling uneasy, Siena paced back and forth before saying, "Maybe I should call Mr. Vaughn."

Bradley had told her to report any situation with Seb immediately. This definitely counted as a situation, so she should inform Bradley.

Jack said, "Let's wait until Mr. Landon comes out."

Siena turned to Jack, "Mr. Vaughn is Seb's personal doctor. No one knows Seb's condition better than him. I think it's better to call him over."

Jack shook his head. "Until Mr. Landon's test results come out, I advise you not to alarm Bradley."

Siena's heart skipped a beat, "Why?"

Before Jack could answer, the emergency room door opened, and he quickly walked in.

Siena also wanted to know Seb's condition immediately, so she didn't bother calling Bradley and followed Jack inside.

The medical staff had finished treating Seb and were cleaning up.

Seb lay on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tube in his nose, his face pale as if he had just survived a life-and-death ordeal.

Jack asked, "Doctor, how is he?"

The emergency doctor removed his mask and replied, "For now, there's no major issue, and his life is not in danger. But..."

Jack pressed, "But what?"

The doctor paused and then asked, "What did he eat before he was brought here?"

Hearing this, Siena's heart skipped a beat. She stammered, "Nothing special, just some medicine."

The doctor probed, "What kind of medicine?"

"I don't know." Siena shook her head and quickly added, "It was prescribed by his personal doctor for mental recovery."

The doctor frowned, looking skeptical, "Can you bring some of it for me to see?"

Siena hesitated, "Well..." She knew the medicine had abnormal ingredients and didn't dare to show it to the doctor.

What if it was discovered by Jack? What should Siena do?

Just as Siena was about to refuse, Jack said, "I brought some."

Jack then took a handful of medicinal residue from his pocket.

He had collected it when he carried Seb, scooping it up from the spilled bowl on the floor.

At this moment, Siena watched in shock as Jack handed it to the doctor.

She wanted to stop him but feared arousing suspicion, so she held back.

She merely hoped that the medicine would not be found to have any issues.

Siena still wanted to call Bradley, but Jack was watching her closely. She had to sneak out, find a secluded spot, and take out her phone.

Just as she unlocked it, she heard footsteps behind her, followed by Jack's voice, "What are you doing here?"

Siena was startled, dropping her phone to the ground.

Jack glanced at her, then walked over, picked up the phone, and warned, "Ms. Scott, until the drug test results come out, I hope you don't act rashly and call Bradley. That will only harm Mr. Landon!"

Siena was taken aback, asking, "What do you mean?"

Just as Jack was about to respond, a nurse approached and said, "Hey, the patient is awake. Please come quickly!"
