Shawn's words left everyone in the room completely stunned.
Joseph was utterly disappointed. He complained inside, 'Shawn has lost his mind. He has been bewitched by that woman. He doesn't even know who he is anymore.'
Knowing that once Shawn made up his mind, nothing could change it, Joseph didn't bother wasting any more time.
He pointed straight at Zoe and snapped, "My wife is about to die, and it's all because of you, Zoe! What do you have to say for yourself?"
Zoe's face was cold as she replied, "There's nothing wrong with my medicine. If something went wrong, it must've been on your end. I'm not taking the blame for something that isn't my fault until the truth comes out."
Her words only made Joseph even angrier. He said, "Still trying to make excuses? You were the one who treated my wife, and your apprentice was the one looking after her. And now you refuse to admit your guilt?"
Then he turned to Shawn and continued, "See that, Shawn? She is someone who can't even take responsibility. Do you think she cares about you? She's probably just after your position as the next head of the Ludwig family."
With things getting this serious and Joseph dead set on blaming Zoe, even Shawn's expression turned cold.
Suddenly, a clueless-sounding woman's voice rang out from the doorway. She said, "What's going on? I heard Amy suddenly got sick, so I rushed over. Why is everyone here?"
It was Sophia. She'd come in with a doctor in a white coat, lugging a big medical kit, hurrying in from outside.
When no one answered her, Sophia didn't get upset. She continued, "As soon as I heard how serious it was, I found a top-notch doctor. Why don't we let him take a look at Amy first?"
"Yeah, let him check her out," someone in the crowd finally agreed.
"Exactly, let's see if Zoe's treatment is what caused all this," another person chimed in.
Seeing that no one objected, Sophia quickly shot the doctor a look, signaling him to go ahead. As the doctor walked over, she said, "This doctor is amazing. He's a leading expert in neurology."
After the doctor finished his examination, he turned around with a grave expression and announced, "The patient's condition is severe. Her life is in danger. Her organs are already showing signs of damage.
"If this keeps up, once her organs start to fail, it'll be too late for anything."
The moment he said that, everyone's face changed. All eyes turned on Zoe, full of blame. They'd already decided Zoe was the one who ruined everything for Amy.
Sophia took a step back, her whole body suddenly trembling. She stared at Zoe in disbelief and said, "Zoe, what kind of shady tricks did you use to save Amy?
"I knew it. I just knew something was off. How could Amy suddenly get better like that? Turns out you were just playing hero and made things worse. Now look what you've done. How are you going to answer this?"
Zoe thought, 'Sophia shows up out of nowhere, pretending it is just a casual visit. She then suddenly brings a doctor along and puts on such a painfully bad act. She must be behind all this.
'But her real mistake is being willing to risk an innocent life just to set me up.' Zoe was so angry. Despite Joseph and everyone else glaring at her with growing anger after Sophia's accusations, she remained completely unfazed.
After hearing Sophia's words, one person said, "So, Zoe used some shady trick just to take the credit? Pretending to save Amy, but putting her in danger!"
Another chimed in, "Unbelievable! She'd hurt Amy just for her selfish reasons?"
Someone said, "Someone like her doesn't belong here. Zoe, get out of here!"
One said, "Yeah! I say Zoe should pay the price. She's just a poor, uneducated small-town girl, always scheming. None of us in the Ludwig family should have anything to do with her!"
Seeing everyone side with her, Sophia looked even more pleased with herself. She didn't hold back and said, "Joseph, I think we should call the police. Zoe has been practicing medicine without a license. That's a crime."
As soon as she said that, everyone suddenly realized something. When Zoe was treating Amy, they had just assumed Zoe was Yancy's teacher and never even checked if she had a license.
They thought, 'We've been way too careless. If she doesn't even have a license, isn't she just messing around with Amy's life?'
Sophia's words were the last straw for Joseph. His face turned red with rage as he pointed at Zoe and shouted, "Did you plan to hurt us from the start? Even if you want to be with Shawn, you shouldn't stoop to such dirty tricks!
"You'd better pray my wife pulls through, or your life is over. And you, Shawn, if anything happens to your grandma, you're out of the Ludwig family!"
Zoe didn't even hear the insults flying around her. With a cold, piercing gaze, she scanned the crowd. Then she strode forward and tossed the doctor blocking her way aside as if he were nothing.
The doctor nearly fell. He cursed, "You fraud! How dare you! Do you even know who I am? I'm..."
Zoe didn't say a word, but Shawn was already moving. He stepped up and knocked the noisy doctor out cold with a swift chop.
Sophia's eyes went wide as she watched. She thought, 'Even now, Shawn is still backing Zoe. Why? Why does Shawn always trust her and only her?'
By this time, Zoe had already checked over Amy. She pondered, 'The situation is serious, but it isn't my treatment that is the problem. Something else is affecting her. What could it be?'
But right now, she didn't have time to get to the bottom of it. Saving the patient came first.
Zoe raised her hand toward Yancy. Yancy immediately handed her the acupuncture kit.
Zoe picked out several silver needles of different thicknesses and started inserting them into Amy. She inserted one needle at the crown of Amy's head, one at her heart, and others at the ends of her limbs.
As soon as the last needle was in, Amy's whole body suddenly convulsed.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, terrified this was Amy's final struggle.
"Stop her! She's trying to kill to keep her quiet," Sophia suddenly shouted.
Everyone was already on edge, and the moment Sophia yelled, they all rushed forward to stop Zoe.
But standing right behind Zoe was none other than Shawn, who was blocking the way. Thanks to his presence, no one could get anywhere near Zoe.
Seeing they couldn't get through, Shawn's uncles started shouting again. One said, "Shawn, you ungrateful brat! Are you going to let a murderer do as she pleases?"
Another chimed in, "Shawn, how can you be so cold-hearted? That's your grandma, the one who loved you most since you were a kid. Are you really just going to stand by and watch her die?"
Someone shouted, "Zoe, you better stop right now, or you'll be killing Amy in front of everyone!"
Joseph was shaking with rage at the chaos. He declared, "I'll never let a woman like her into the Ludwig family. Never!"
But right at that moment, something miraculous happened.
Joseph was utterly disappointed. He complained inside, 'Shawn has lost his mind. He has been bewitched by that woman. He doesn't even know who he is anymore.'
Knowing that once Shawn made up his mind, nothing could change it, Joseph didn't bother wasting any more time.
