Chapter 38:
Yelena, however, knew time was of the essence. She couldn’t afford to hesitate.
With quick, practiced movements, she took a pill from a small vial she carried and placed it in Esteban’s mouth, helping him swallow it.
Without missing a beat, she began performing an emergency procedure, carefully administering a needle with precision. The murmurs of the crowd grew louder, and some people even began suggesting they call the authorities, accusing Yelena of putting Esteban’s life at risk.
The Mitchell family was in a panic, their distress growing by the second. Esteban’s eldest son, William Mitchell, stormed forward, his voice tight with fury.
“What did you give my father?” he demanded, his eyes blazing with anger. “If anything happens to him, you’ll regret it.” Despite the harsh words, no one dared to approach Esteban. They all understood that making any sudden moves could make the situation far worse.
Esteban had looked deathly pale just moments ago, his body weak and unresponsive.
But after swallowing the pill, a noticeable shift began. Gradually, color returned to his cheeks, and his breathing steadied. His heart rate seemed to find a new rhythm, offering a small but promising sign of improvement.
Yelena let out a quiet sigh of relief, her focus unwavering as she continued her work. With precision, she moved the needle to Esteban’s temples and neck, administering the necessary treatment.
Five tense minutes passed. Yelena checked his pulse, noting the improvement—his heart rate had steadied significantly. Although the close call had shaken her, fortunately, Esteban was now out of danger.
As Yelena put away the needle, the doctor finally arrived.

Bella, unable to stay silent any longer, snapped, her voice sharp with frustration, “Yelena, stop pretending you know what you’re doing. What if something went wrong? Who’s going to take responsibility for this mess p>
Bella’s thoughts were clouded with disdain.
Just because Yelena had read a few medical books didn’t mean she had the right to play doctor.
It was one thing to experiment at home, but here? In front of everyone?
What if Esteban were to die? What if the Mitchells held the Harris family responsible for this?
Before Bella could voice more of her anger, a faint but unmistakable cough broke through the tension.
All eyes snapped to Esteban, whose chest heaved as he slowly came to, his eyes fluttering open.
A wave of stunned silence washed over the room.
“Dad, are you alright p>
