Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 263

"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."

Sandra shrank back, guilt written all over her face.

Jordan, however, kept his composure. "Mr. Wilson, that was never our intention. We wanted to help, not put you in danger. The Smith Group truly hoped to save you. Sometimes, patients react badly to certain medications. Maybe this one just wasn’t right for your condition."

Gary shot back coldly, "That’s not what you said earlier, Mr. Smith. Ms. Taylor here was swearing up and down that this miracle drug would save Mr. Wilson. Now you’re changing your story?"

Shirley Reed, who’d been silent until now, added, "Exactly! You promised this drug would work. We trusted you. Now that things went wrong, you’re just washing your hands of it?"

Camila, having had enough of the night’s nonsense, saw her chance.

"I think, at the very least, you should check if a patient is allergic to a drug before giving it to them. Did you forget that, Ms. Taylor? Oh, wait—I almost forgot. You never actually went to med school, did you?"
