Chapter 35 Doctor Jeff
Doctor Jeff After leaving the police station, Jeff i went back to the Old Man's Villa. Old Master Scavo's condition appeared to have gotten worse, according to a call he just received from Aunty Sophia.
He told his grandfather about his plans, packed a carry-on bag, and made his way to the airport.
"Are you certain you can travel alone?" With his eyes full of worry, Old Master Malfoy enquired. ""We can all go with you right now." "Grandpa, do not let me pressure you into doing things quickly. I just had to go now because it's very important" Jeff answered the old man gently. "You can fly out early the following
morning." "Let me give you a number then. Just give the number a call as soon as you get to the Starry City airport. In a moment, you will be picked up." Jeff had no choice but to punch in the strings of numbers. He thanked the old man and the next minute made a simple flight reservation.
Jeff finished setting up a few things and headed out, realizing that the next flight was only an hour away.
The same morning, Liam and Jamie had returned too, having learned of the 0ld Man's deteriorating state.
Jeff could not help but feel anxious when he boarded the plane an hour later. It was his first time flying, and he felt as though his heart was
constricted, making it hard for him to breathe.
Perhaps it was because it was his first : time traveling by air, but after a few minutes he felt better and was able to make up for the sleep he had been deprived of due to Ella.
The plane was prepared for landing when Jeff woke up. Before long, he was standing at Starry City Airport, his bag slung over his back.
The news that Old Master Scavo had been transferred to a hospital reached him via text message. Without delay, Jeff called for a cab and provided the driver with the hospital's address.
He was picked up by Aunty Sophia as soon as he arrived at the hospital. Jeff could not help but feel a little uneasy as they moved through the sterile,
constricted, making it hard ramen breathe.

crowded hallway.
The first person Jeff treated in his life was the Old Master Scavo. Despite ~~ having read nearly every book on medicine, both conventional and modern, he still had the uneasy feeling that something would go wrong.
Not because he doubted his ability but because the miscep syrup he gave the old man didn't even work.
"The other family members are here," Sophia said as they entered the VIP area. "They are mostly hypocrites, so do not be intimidated by them." Jeff looked at Sophia, wondering why she was willing to entrust him with her father's care and why she felt that way about him. "Do you trust me?" Although the question was brief,
Sophia understood what it meant.
Did she trust Jeff? It is understandable to be dubious, but if she did not trust him, she would not have brought him here.
"Tam not sure," Sophia grinned sourly. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Hopefully, though, everything will work out." There was a group of people when Sophia pushed open the old Master room. A frail old man was dozing on the bed not far from where these people were standing. Even Jeff was unable to recognize the Old Man due to the paleness of his wrinkled face.
"Who is this?" Among the people, one inquired. This individual was female and appeared to be among the family's most significant members.
"He will treat Father" Sophia replied indifferently. "Jeff please go on." "Are you kidding me, Sophia? "Is this the person we have all been waiting for? The woman screamed once more, her eyes bulging with incredulity.
""Please lower your voice, you are disturbing him," Jeff said and pointed to the Old man.
He received strange looks from all of them, and some of them even started laughing. Jamie and Liam weren't with these people but there were other people who were as young as Jamie and Liam.
"Sophia? You not only brought someone without experience, but also a young man who is Liam's and Jamie's age."
throat, a suspended moment of silence as if the shock had momentarily stolen the very sound of their voice. I Even though the young man was very young, the air around him was difficult to decipher. He had the appearance of someone who could be both smiling and icy at the same moment.
Jeff approached the bed and looked over the elderly man. After a quick checkup, he turned to face Sophia. "Are you certain they gave the miscep syrup to him?" "Yes, I was told it was delivered yesterday" Sophia answered. She looked over at a man who was not standing with the members of the family. "Housekeeper Lee, did you give Father the syrup?" "Err... Yes. I did give him."
Although the Housekeeper's remarks might seem normal to others, Jeff sensed something was not quite right.
"When I met Old Master Scavo, five years ago. I cautioned him against consuming excessive amounts of foods high in sodium, but it appears he ignored my advice." "You are the one who advised him against consuming foods high in sodium?" All the members, including Sophia, appeared astonished.
She'd remember her Father talking about this to the Butler and herself five years ago.
yes. It is detrimental to his physical well-being." "Well, he cared about his health and informed the chefs" Sophia replied.
Jeff immediately sensed that something was wrong. If Old Master Scavo didn't take high-sodium food, what caused his illnesses? He examined the expressions of those who remained utterly silent.
"Housekeeper Lee, can I see the miscep syrup?" Jeff asked out of the blue.
Indeed, the man handed over a small bottle to him. Jeff studied the bottle as an odd sensation began to arise within him. After dropping the bottle, he turned to face the housekeeper.
Unexpectedly surprising Sophia and everyone else in attendance, he reached over and grabbed the man's collar.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do that?"
Jeff's tone was aloof, haughty, and a little bit tough. He had a gut feeling that the Housekeeper was concealing something.
