Justin kept to his word. Jasper received the drugs after one week.
Jasper, who was hosting an important meeting in the Beckett Group, was on
edge.
When the meeting ended, he sprung up from his seat and darted out the doors
like lightning.
The management was left at their seats, exchanging glances.
"What is wrong with Mr. Beckett?"
"Haha! I think he had to relieve himself. The meeting was so long. I wouldn't have
held it in if I were him. His kidneys are such champions!"
"Not to mention his bladder too!"
Today, the KS Group had an important board meeting that required Winston to
attend.
However, Jameson's drugs ran out, and Julien was taken away by the Lovelace
family. So, Winston grew more helpless.
The effects of the drugs had worn off. He started feeling his body weakening. He
couldn't stop yawning. His nose was runny, his head was spinning, and his vision
was blurry. He didn't even manage to eat dinner last night because he had fallen
into a deep slumber.
He considered his physical condition and was afraid he couldn't get up in the
morning. So, he pushed this meeting to the afternoon.
Even so, the consecutive alarms were useless. Winston only forced himself to
wake up after Neil, Alyssa, and the rest tried to call for him.
"Mr. Winston?"
"Dad!"
"Winston!"
Winston opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Alyssa, Mandy, and Neil looking
at him by his bedside.
"W-What time is it now?"
Alyssa's heart wrenched when she heard her father's frail voice. She held his icy
hand firmly.
"It's almost noon. Winston, you haven't eaten breakfast, so you shouldn't skip
lunch either. Your body will not be able to take it." Mandy looked at Winston's
gaunt face painfully.
When Winston got up, his head was suddenly spinning. He collapsed to the
ground.
"Winston!"
Sweat filled Alyssa's head. She quickly held his father's wrist, looking for a pulse.
She could sense her father's restlessness.
However, she wasn't Julien nor a neurologist.
She was skilled medically, but she specialized in surgical procedures. At this
point, her hands were tied.
"Dad, you must go to the hospital now!" Alyssa frowned. Her voice was hoarse
from the panic.
"I'm not going," Winston declined firmly.
"Then, cancel your board meeting!"
"No!" Winston pulled his hand away suddenly. He gritted his teeth, unwilling to
resign. "I would crawl to that meeting if I have to!"
"Winston, listen to me!" Alyssa couldn't take it anymore. She reprimanded him
like a mother would to her son, "Sitting up is laborious enough for you. Why are
you still forcing yourself? Is it that important to show up at that crappy meeting?
"Is it more important than your health? Is it more important than your life?"
That aggressive reprimand shocked Mandy and Neil.
Alyssa was the only one in the whole of Belbanks who dared to address Winston
this way.
"You brat! What do you know?"
Winston gathered his strength, but he broke into a sweat as he struggled. "The
KS Group was in utter chaos when I was hospitalized the last time. The rumors
were hard to take in.
"If I get hospitalized again, the KS Group wouldn't only be affected internally. All
our competitors in the market would take this opportunity to snatch the resources
that belonged to us, Taylors. It might cause more trouble than we can handle!"
"So, what? Let them take the resources if they want them. You can never make
enough money."

Then, they would never get back the carefree life they have now.
Alyssa was outraged.
Everyone said that it was a delight to have an elderly at home. However, Alyssa
didn't think so.
It would be outrageous if she said it to Winston, too.
Mandy had a heavy and doubtful look on her face.
She had a hunch that Jameson's drugs were the cause of the changes in
Winston's body.
However, Julien tested the drugs and confirmed that the drugs weren't poison.
So, were Winston's cold, headache, and lethargy side effects of the drug?
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
