Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 366

Her hands gripped the bedsheets so tightly that her knuckles turned pale.

“Relax. I’m a doctor.”

As Lydia spoke, the old lady’s panic faded away, little by little.

Half an hour later, Lydia carefully removed the needles, disinfected each one, and slipped them back into her kit. The old lady, finally at ease, drifted into a deep sleep.

When Lydia stepped out, Scar, who had clearly been eavesdropping, straightened in a hurry. “So… how is she? Can you save her?”

“The virus has already reached her lungs. I’ve managed to hold it back for now. I’ll let you know as soon as I have an antidote ready.”

Scar stared at her, nervous. “You have to make an antidote? It’s not ready yet?”

“How else would I treat something like this?”

“But... her condition... can she even wait that long?”

The truth was, this virus had already taken a lot of lives in Triangle. If their boss hadn’t gone to such lengths—hiring doctor after doctor for his mother—she might not have made it this far.

“How many people in Black Eagle are infected?” Lydia asked.

Scar’s eyes darted away, avoiding her gaze.

“I need you to be honest with me. If even one person goes untreated, the whole group will be at risk. The infection will just keep spreading. If that happens, not just you, not just your boss, but everyone in Black Eagle could be in danger.”

Scar’s face drained of color. “Is it really that serious?”

“Would people be dying if it wasn’t?”

Lydia hadn’t even tested the old lady’s blood yet, but from what she’d seen, this virus was aggressive. Without quick treatment, it would be fatal.
