The nurse, who was just passing by, turned pale with fear.

But Regina couldn’t even manage to bite her tongue to end her life, let alone kill herself with a scalpel. Before she could bring the scalpel to her neck, the bodyguard beside her quickly snatched it from her hand. Her sudden outburst completely terrified Henry. As the bodyguards restrained her, he rushed over. “Regina, don’t do this! Please, don’t! You have to stay alive! he cried.
While saying those words in fear, he was also confused. He couldn’t understand why she suddenly wanted to die, or why she was saying such things.
After all, she was the one who had told him to use his own mother to threaten me .
Meanwhile, the doctor I brought along carefully checked all of Grandma’s vital signs and confirmed that she was alright.
I had no more interest in watching Regina playing pretend. I just wanted all the madness between them to end quickly.
Before Henry could say another word to her, I said coldly, “Mr. Quill, the heart is on a separate flight and will be flown in shortly. Let her go for the preoperative tests first.
Knowing how much he trusted Regina, I was certain that unless he saw it with his own eyes that she was completely fine, no amount of evidence would ever convince him.
Anything I said would be meaningless.
My words reminded him that the surgery was the most urgent matter. He immediately brushed aside what he had wanted to say to her and everything else.
“Alright, we’ll do the preoperative check now,” he said.
Upon hearing this, Regina’s face darkened instantly. She didn’t actually have heart disease, so she knew that the moment they ran even a basic cardiac ultrasound, they would realize she was perfectly fine.
And that would be the end of her.
She instinctively tried to speak up, but before she could, my people stepped forward and injected her with another sedative.
Upon seeing this, Henry immediately snapped, “Emilia, what are you doing?”
“I was worried she’d try to kill herself again and delay the testing,” I said calmly.
He recalled her earlier suicide attempt and retorted, “But you can’t just inject her with any random drug. You should’ve told me. I could’ve given her something to calm her down before the test.”
“It’s already done,” I replied flatly. “There’s no point in arguing. Just take her for the check–up. Once everything is confirmed, you’d better give Grandma the antidote. If anything happens to her, I won’t forgive y I warned.
Now that Grandma was safely with me, I had no patience left to entertain him anymore.
Even though Henry was still upset with me, he knew there was no point arguing because the injection had already been given, as I said. He could only shoot me a fierce glare before wheeling Regina away for her examination.
During the cardiac ultrasound, the doctor scanned over and over again before finally calling in the chief of

cardiology.
Henry grew more and more anxious. “Is… is her condition worsening? Is there still time for surgery?”
Upon hearing this, the department chief repeated the scans several times, just like the first doctor had. Then, he turned to Henry and asked, “Do you have her previous diagnostic report? Are you sure this patient has heart disease?”
Henry was stunned for a moment before he responded, “What do you mean? What do you mean if she has heart disease?”
