Chapter 88
Chapter 88:
Fraser, born into affluence, had always been adept with words.
Though he appeared to be defending Ashton, his words carried a subtle accusation of interference.
Ashton saw right through Fraser’s facade, but the college students around them did not.
They mistook Fraser’s calm and seemingly supportive response to Ashton’s probing as a sign of goodwill. Initially skeptical, the students began to trust Fraser.
Jenna looked at Ashton with disdain and snorted, saying, “Fraser has a point. We won’t hold it against you, but you must stop meddling with the doctor’s efforts! Even if you’re a teacher, we won’t be polite if you don’t back off!” The others nodded in agreement with Jenna.
Fraser, smugly satisfied, patted Ashton on the shoulder with a smile. “I know you’re concerned, but it’s best to leave this to the experts. Consider how Rosalie would feel if something were to happen to Selena p>
Facing hostility from Selena’s friends and considering her deteriorating condition, Ashton realized that further arguments would only waste time and could be detrimental.
Ashton chose to remain quiet and observant for the moment.
However, Julius, despite appearing professional, had shifty eyes that unsettled Ashton.
The simultaneous arrival of Fraser and Julius seemed too well-timed, raising Ashton’s suspicions of a setup.
Ashton warned Julius coldly, “Dr. Mitchell, focus on the emergency care and avoid any deceit. I’ll be keeping a close eye on you p>
Julius’ face stiffened at the warning but he quickly masked it with a snort of disdain, pretending to be above arguing with Ashton.

Seeing Ashton step aside, the others refrained from further criticism.
The priority shifted to initiating Selena’s emergency treatment.
Under Julius’ command, everyone formed a circle, giving him space to work.
Jenna gently laid Selena down before stepping away. Once ready, Julius opened his medical kit, quickly retrieving the necessary tools and medications. A mysterious syringe filled with a semi-transparent liquid also lay at the bottom of his kit.
The moment Julius reached for the syringe, a chilling sensation washed over him, as if eyes were piercing through him.
He glanced up and immediately identified the source of the unsettling chill.
Ashton’s eyes met his, icy and penetrating, suggesting to Julius that Ashton might have unraveled his intentions. Feeling a wave of unease wash over him, Julius decided against using the syringe.
He turned his full attention to the emergency treatment at hand.
As Julius initiated the treatment, it quickly became clear that the situation was more dire than he had initially thought.
Possibly due to the delay, Selena’s condition had worsened considerably.
A cold sweat formed on Julius’s forehead as he assessed her vitals.
Selena’s heartbeat was barely detectable, her faint pulse almost indistinguishable from that of someone no longer living.
Faced with such critical conditions, Julius doubted his ability to stabilize her even in a fully equipped emergency room, let alone under these improvised circumstances.
