Brandy gave Zayn first aid hastily and rushed him to the hospital. He managed to give Naya a call on the way there.
By the time they reached the hospital, both Benard and Naya were already waiting anxiously at the main entrance. They darted toward Zayn and called out incoherently, "Mr. Giblo…"
"He has been poisoned! Hurry up and treat him immediately!" Brandy urged, his forehead beaded with sweat.
"What happened?" Benard asked apprehensively.
"Mr. Giblo bumped into Mr. Lieger when he went to fetch Randy just now. They had a conflict…" An utterly vexed Brandy switched to grumble, "Why didn't you and the others tag along with him? How could you let him go there by himself?"
"He rushed out all of a sudden just now, and we had to take good care of Ms. Venus here…" Benard heaved a deep sigh and mumbled, "Anyway, this is not the time to argue now. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Mr. Giblo will be fine."
Naya attended to Zayn right away. The moment Thompson knew about Zayn's current condition, he was a bundle of nerves.
At the moment, the Giblo family was in a precarious situation, troubled by internal and external threats. If anything happened to Zayn, it would surely be a deadly blow to the family.
After the press conference earlier, a series of matters were pending to be settled by Zayn. If he were unable to show his face during this period of time, the others might start to sense something awry and spread rumors. Hence, Zayn must have a speedy recovery.
Thompson instructed a few experienced specialists from Kindness Hospital to assist Naya. Apart from that, he reminded Benard to keep the news of Zayn's injury under wraps.
At the same time, he kept reminding them to cool their heads off so they would not act impulsively. They could not take the risk to let their guards down and must brace themselves for any potential obstacles.
When the hospital was in chaos, there were some hiccups in Northridge as well.
Crash! Randy smashed something on the floor. It turned out to be Daemon's favorite antique teapot which was priceless. The maids usually handled it with extra care when they cleaned it, fearful of even leaving the slightest stain.
At the sight of the shattered pieces on the floor, both Freda and Rogan were ashen-faced, holding their breaths.
Meanwhile, Daemon was gardening in the backyard. His slender figure could be seen through a well- crafted wooden partition.
Surprisingly, he did not unleash his wrath at Randy even after knowing that his favorite teapot was damaged.
"Big bad guy, let go of me! I have to get to the hospital now to check on Daddy and Venus. I'm not your kid. You have no right to hold me captive here!" Randy remained strong-willed, although tears started to well up in his eyes.
"Randy, you can't behave like that!" Carla reprimanded him at once.
"Mommy, aren't you worried about Venus? She's in ICU now…" Randy choked up.
Hearing that, Carla's heart thumped, and she was on the brink of tears. No doubt, she was worried sick about Venus's condition. Even so, she knew that she would not be able to see her at the moment.
She bet the Giblo family would surely lock down the hospital to keep mum about Zayn's condition. Not to mention, she was labeled as their enemy at the moment. Thus, she foresaw that she would be strictly prohibited from entering the building.
Zayn's impulsiveness earlier had put all of them in a tight spot. She had to talk herself into simmering down so she would not act impetuously and exacerbate the situation.
"Mommy…" Randy tried to plead with Carla with his teary eyes.
"What can you do over there?" An icy-cold voice sounded.
"I-I…" Randy stuttered.
"Now that it is chaotic at the Nachts' residence, the situation will only become worse if you go over. It will also cause them inconvenience as they will be distracted having to look after you. If you promise to be obedient and don't get on my nerves, I might consider giving you the antidote." Daemon gave him a subtle glance and said placidly.
Randy's eyes lit up as he asked, "The antidote?"
"Randy, thank Uncle Dan now." Carla was over the moon.
"Thank you, Uncle Dan, " Randy thanked him sincerely and stretched out his hand. "Can you give me the antidote now?"
"I told you that I would give it to you if you were good, didn't I?" Daemon took the towel from his subordinate to wipe his hands as he stepped into the house. "Come to the study room with me now."
