Frederic's heart skipped a beat at the news.
"What happened?"
The servant continued to sob. "Mrs. Cherry Adamson was here just now. I don't know what she said to Felix, but when I returned to the room, he was foaming at the mouth, pale as a sheet."
Frederic ended the call abruptly, gripping Joey's hand tightly, his expression grim.
A sense of dread washed over him.
Sensing the urgency, Joey asked, "What's wrong? Is Great-grandpa okay?"
Frederic's eyes reflected a mix of worry and resolve as he replied, "Joey, no matter what happens, trust me, okay?"
Tears welled up in Joey's eyes. "What's going on?"
"Felix isn't well. We need to get back home."
He hurried Joey to the car, dialing emergency services on the way.
By the time they arrived home, paramedics were already there.
