Chapter 926 A House Arrest in Disguise
The priest declared again, "Groom, you may now kiss your bride."
But at the end of the day, the atmosphere was already ruined. At this time, both of them stood face to face with heavy thoughts, and they were no longer in the mood for that.
Of course, Jara could notice that she had lost her interest too, so in the end, he only kissed her on her forehead to complete the ceremony.
After the ceremony, it was time for the banquet.
As Emmeline needed to change into a new gown, Jara accompanied her back to the hotel.
Naturally, she would bring along the gifts given by the guests.
Even if she didn't like Luca, she couldn't embarrass him in front of so many guests.
However, when Emmeline reached out to grab the box, her vision suddenly went black as she swayed a little.
Seeing that, Jara quickly grabbed hold of her. "What's wrong?"
After a few seconds, Emmeline came around and shook her head.
"It's nothing."
When Jara heard that, he knitted his brows.
Noticing that her face was a little pale, he asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well? You don't look good."
Then, Emmeline waved her hand and reassured him. "I'm fine, really. I may have gotten up too early today, and I'm too tired."
After all, she was the bride, and it was a big event in their lives, so at four o'clock this morning, she was already awake to let the stylists styled her hair and make-up. Thus she didn't get enough sleep.
Upon hearing her explanation, Jara felt slight at ease.
The two of them returned to the hotel. Since lunch was held in the hotel, the rest of the guests went back to the hotel as well.
Ever since this island was purchased by Jara, it had never been opened to the public, and even the hotels had been vacant.
As they were going to hold a wedding ceremony here, they temporarily arranged for some people to be in charge of the hotel's guest rooms, banquet hall, and kitchen.
Because of Uncle Poick's presence, the entire process was carried out in an orderly manner, not showing any signs of disorderliness.
After returning to the room, Emmeline sat down on the sofa.
When Jara noticed there was something wrong with her expression, his frown grew deeper.
"Emmeline, Emmeline."
Subsequently, he patted her on the shoulder and called her name twice.
But when Emmeline turned around and looked at him, her vision was a little blurred.
"Emmeline, are you okay? Why is your face so pale?"
However, this time, Emmeline did not respond.
Everything went black before her eyes, and she gradually became unconscious.
No one had expected that this would happen at the wedding.
After Emmeline fainted, Jara immediately called for the doctor. After the examination, the doctor found that her condition was extremely rare. Not to mention the treatment, he couldn't even find out the cause of her fainting.
When the rest of the people heard the news, they rushed over one after another. At this time, they were all waiting outside the room.
In the bedroom, Jara was watching over Emmeline, who was lying on the bed. Then, he looked at the doctor who was examining her and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with her? Why don't you say something?"
The doctor was the castle's permanent hire. Today was supposed to be such a happy day, and no one expected that something bad would happen.
However, it was fortunate that Uncle Poick was a thoughtful man. Although he didn't think anything would happen to Emmeline and Jara, after all, it was a completely isolated island, he was afraid that the guests might need help. Thus, in order to be precautious, he brought along a doctor with him.
Unexpectedly, the doctor actually came in handy.
Meanwhile, the doctor had checked everywhere, but couldn't explain the cause.
After a while, the doctor stuttered. "Mr. Holland, t—the situation may be a little complicated. There is no medical equipment on the island. By looking at the current situation, I really can't figure out why Ma'am fainted."
When Jara heard that, his face darkened in an instant.
Then, Uncle Poick, who was standing beside the bed, suggested. "Why don't we immediately go back to the castle?"
Just as Jara was about to agree, he heard a calm male voice.
"There's no need to go back. I know what's going on with her."
As he spoke, he strode into the room.
The crowd was shocked, but who else could it be if not Luca?
Jara's eyes darkened. Although he wasn't sure if Emmeline's current situation had anything to do with him, upon seeing Luca's appearance, he felt uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Luca certainly knew what he was thinking at the moment.
However, he couldn't be bothered.
Walking to the bedside, he removed a box from his pocket and took out a golden, crystal-clear pill from the box, ready to put it in Emmeline's mouth.
However, just as his hand reached into the air, it was blocked by Jara.
"Luca, what are you doing?"
But Luca looked at him and smiled.
"What? Are you afraid that I will poison her to death? Let me tell you. Without my medicine, I didn't even need to poison her as she will be dead in less than half an hour."
As soon as he finished his words, everyone was shocked.
Uncle Poick was the first to ask, "Mr. Marsh, this is a matter of life. Don't joke around! What did you mean by what you said just now?"
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Luca knew that he would not be able to leave if he didn't explain it clearly today.
Therefore, without being in a hurry, he started to explain in detail.
"Her current situation is a rare genetic illness. Normally, she is fine, but after a certain age, she will begin to experience the episodes. When that happens, she will be in a coma. Her internal organs and blood vessels will contract vigorously. Without an antidote, she will die in a short time."
When Jara heard that, his expression changed.
At the same time, everyone else's expressions changed too.
Someone asked, "How can we prove that what you said is true?"
Hearing that, Luca raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you don't need to believe me, and she doesn't need to take the medicine as well. But let me be frank. Half an hour later, even if you give her the medicine, she can no longer be saved. You can think about it yourself."
As he said that, he directly turned around and walked out.
Before he got to the door, he heard a cold voice.
"Stop right there!"
Jara stared coldly at him. "Bring me the medicine."
Hearing that, Luca smiled, as he turned around, and handed the medicine to him.
However, after Jara received the medicine, he did not rush to feed it to Emmeline. Instead, he ordered Quan. "Invite Mr. Marsh and Mrs. Marsh to the room next door for tea. Without my orders, no one is allowed to disturb them."
When these words were spoken, everyone understood the meaning.
This was a house arrest in disguise.
They would be fine if Emmeline could wake up. But if she couldn't wake up, Luca and Kayla might not be able to leave here today.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Luca was not surprised that Jara would do this.
After all, who was Jara?
Since he was a child, he had been cruel and merciless, and he grew up in the underworld. It was impossible for Jara to believe him so easily and directly feed Emmeline the medicine.
Therefore, Luca was not angry at all as he took Kayla and went to the room next door.
Then, Jara asked Uncle Poick to pour a glass of water and fed Emmeline the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Jara stayed by her side, looking at her nervously.
About ten minutes later, Emmeline finally woke up.
When she woke up and saw Jara, she asked, "What's happened to me?"
