Chapter 580 Mr Ortega’s Condition Is Baffling
Tina’s phone rang urgently as she made her way to an appointment, delivering the unexpected news that Jonah had been injured. Without hesitation, she rushed to the hospital, her heart pounding with dread. Upon arrival, she found a group of perplexed doctors gathered around a motionless Jonah, a Rogue left incapacitated.
Jonah lay unconscious in the hospital room, his body unmoving and lifeless, as though his very essence had abandoned him.
Tina immediately rushed to his side, her hands trembling as she shook him desperately. “Jonah! Please, speak to me! Wake up!” she pleaded, her voice cracking with worry.
The lead doctor stepped forward, his face filled with concern, no longer able to avoid the unsettling truth. “Mr. Ortega’s condition is baflling,” he explained, a serious tone in his voice. “He has no visible injuries, and no toxins have been detected in his system that could explain why he’s unconscious. We’re completely at a loss here.
“We attempted to have the elders call on his wolf, but there’s been no response. We really don’t know what else we can do.”
Tina’s frustration exploded. “What do you mean, you don’t know what else you can do? You’re a doctor! How can you stand there and tell me you don’t know what’s wrong with my son?” she demanded, her finger pointing accusatorily at him.
“I think you’re just making excuses because you’re incapable of helping him!” she snapped, pacing around the room in fury.
Her anger flared. “I swear, if anything happens to Jonah before I can find the best doctor for him, I will make sure every single one of you in this hospital suffers the consequences!”
The room fell into an uneasy silence as everyone held their breath, afraid to speak out of fear of provoking her further.
Two hours later, Tina used her powerful family connections to bring in the most renowned specialists available for a consultation. But when the results came in, even these elite doctors could only shake their heads in defeat. “This condition is unlike anything we’ve ever encountered before. We are completely stumped.”
Finally, one doctor spoke up after considering the case for a long while. “It appears to be a poisoning, likely caused by a witch’s toxin,” he suggested.
Tina’s anger flared at once, her face reddening. “What are you talking about? How could my son possibly have any contact with witches?” she demanded, her voice seething with disbelief.
The doctor looked helpless, almost apologetic. “To treat the poison, you would need to find the person responsible for doing this to Mr. Ortega,” he explained gently.
“Mrs. Ortega, perhaps you should consider who your son might have recently upset,” he added, before sighing and walking away.
Tina stood frozen for a few moments, processing the doctor’s words. When she regained her composure, her sharp eyes locked onto one of Jonah’s subordinates, a Rogue who had been standing quietly nearby.
“Tell me, who did this to my son? she demanded in a low, dangerous voice.
The subordinate hesitated before stammering, “1–it was Alpha Benjamin and his fiancée.
“Mr. Daniel had instructed us to send some rogue wolves after them, but Mr. Jonah insisted on going himself. We couldn’t stop him.
“When we arrived, we saw that the woman was just an Omega, so we didn’t think much of her. But before we knew it, she ambushed Mr. Jonah while we weren’t paying attention. Before we left, she even stuck a few needles into his head.
“When we got back to him, Mr. Jonah had already lost consciousness.”
“H–Hayley?” Tina’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes, it was her,” the subordinate confirmed nervously.
Tina’s jaw clenched with fury as she hissed through her teeth, “Hayley … I will make you pay for this.”
Hayley’s POV:
Benjamin and I had just stepped out of Grandma’s hospital room when Hera, sensing an ominous presence, began to grow uneasy.
I looked up to find Tina standing before us.
Benjamin immediately positioned himself between Tina and me, sensing her rage before I did.
Hayley spat, her voice seething with fury, “What have you done to my son?
“My son is lying in a hospital bed because of you!” she yelled, her eyes filled with venom. “He’s unconscious, and his wolf hasn’t even responded! What did you do to him?”
Despite her angry outburst, I simply smiled, calm and unfazed.
“You don’t need to thank me yet,” I said in a controlled, almost indifferent tone. “It was no trouble fulfilling your son’s wishes.”
Tina’s face twisted with outrage as she spat on the floor. “Who asked for your help? You’ve nearly killed my son, and now you think you can just walk away like nothing happened?” she sneered.
“If Jonah doesn’t wake up, you and that old woman inside better not think you’ll get away unscathed. If anything happens to him, I swear, I’ll transform into a wolf and rip the two of you apart.”
I remained unshaken by her threats, my face an unreadable mask.
Benjamin, however, was done with her. His wolf–like eyes glinted with a dangerous intensity as he stepped toward Tina, his voice low and threatening, “If you’re not afraid to die, you can try that right now.”
