Ice-Cold Ceo Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) Chapter 388
Chapter 388
“Dr. Thomas, are you…” Eason, taken aback, was about to ask something, but Thomas calmly nodded. before he could finish.
Eason’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a surge of elation.
He had no reason to doubt Thomas’s words.
Firstly, Thomas was Ben’s close friend, and it was clear Ben knew about his true identity.
Secondly, the medicine developed by Thomas had effectively saved his father’s life, proving his extraordinary medical skills.
Eason was initially curious about where such a skilled doctor had suddenly appeared from, as Thomas was previously not well–known.
But if Thomas was indeed the Medical Mystic, everything made sense.
The Medical Mystic was a legendary figure in the medical field, who had risen to fame within a year and then disappeared just as quickly.
He had treated many people, leaving behind numerous legends, but after his disappearance, all traces of him were meticulously erased, making it impossible for anyone to find his true identity.
However, if the Medical Mystic was Thomas, it all fell into place.
With a friend like Ben, erasing some traces and allowing Thomas to return to a normal life would be no hard–task..
The more Eason thought about it, the more excited he became,
Initially, deciding to let Thomas take charge of his father’s illness was somewhat of a gamble, given Thomas’s lack of fame.
But now, knowing he was the Medical Mystic, he was filled with confidence about his father’s recovery.
“Dr. Thomas,” Eason said excitedly. “I never expected you to have such a hidden identity. I
As he spoke, he enthusiastically grabbed Thomas’s hand.
Thomas tried to pull away but couldn’t break free..
After a few attempts, he still couldn’t escape Eason’s grasp.
Eason was obviously too excited and Thomas‘ face darkened with annoyance.
“Mr. Nicholas,” Thomas said, “are you sure you don’t want to deal with the crowd protesting downstairs.
first?”
“Ah, right, of course,” Eason suddenly remembered, quickly letting go of Thomas‘ hand. Seeing Thomas’s

expression, he became even more cautious. “So, Dr. Thomas, are you going down with me to reveal your identity?”
Thomas narrowed his eyes, a chill in his voice. The reputation of the Medical Mystic is not to be tarnished.
He might not care for the title himself, but he couldn’t let others exploit it for their own ends.
Hearing this, a flicker of excitement crossed Eason’s face.
If Thomas was willing to reveal his identity, then Edel would surely not be able to cause any more trouble.
“Dr. Thomas, thank you,” Eason said earnestly after taking a deep breath.
first.”
Thomas smiled. “Let’s solve the problem first.”
“Right, let’s go, Eason quickly replied.
After Eason and Thomas left, Judith was still somewhat dazed.
She couldn’t help but look at Susan. “Susan… is Thomas really the Medical Mystic?”
Susan nodded affirmatively. “Absolutely certain.”
A glimmer of hope shone in Judith’s eyes.
The legendary Medical Mystic, renowned for curing even the most complex illnesses, seemed to hold the key to saving Alexander.
This hope was more significant than anything else at the moment.
The crowd outside the hospital grew, practically surrounding the entire building.
The guards at the hospital entrance were on high alert, striving to keep the crowd outside the hospital premises.
Initially, the situation was somewhat manageable..
The crowd, though large, hesitated to directly storm the hospital.
But then, someone shouted.
“Princess Ava and the Medical Mystic are here!”
The crowd parted ways as Ava and Edel approached.
The guards, following Eason’s instructions, barred them from entering.
Ava, with a flash in her eyes, softly said, “Captain Jagger, could you make an exception and let us in? I know Eason wants power and sees me as a threat. But I really don’t want to fight with him for power. I just want to get treatment for Alexander.”/

Jagger, expressionless, replied, “Sorry, but the prince has ordered not to let you see the king again. Our guard unit only obeys the prince. Il the prince says you can’t see the king, we won’t let you through. In fact, if the prince orders us to shoot you, I would execute that order without hesitation.”
Jagger’s icy tone suggested his strict adherence to Eason’s command
However, his firm stance only fueled the crowd’s anger
“Why can’t she see the king just because the prince says so? The king belongs to the whole country, not just the prince they shouted.
Is the prince plotting a coup!”
“If the king were awake, he would surely meet with Princess Ava!”
“There must be a conspiracy”
People were shouting so fervently that a few nearly fainted from the intensity.
Alexander had ruled Tonico for many years as a beloved and effective king
The public had already been skeptical about the circumstances surrounding his poisoning, suspecting there was more to the story. They believed Easms refusal to let outsiders see Alexander was shady.
Now, with Jagger, the Captain of the Royal Guard, not only failing to calm the masses but also seemingly fueling their anger with his words, the crowd became even more restless
The noise from the crowd grew louder and mo
Ava’s eyes briefly flashed with triumph.
She raised her hand to silence the crowd, then spoke with a seemingly righteous tone. “Everyone, please hear me out! Eason is my nephew, and I firmly believe he is not heartless of insane. His refusal to let me see Alexander might stem from some misunderstanding. That’s alright, I can step back and not see my brother. But I have one small request, please let Edel enter the hospital. He is the Medical Mystic, and if he’s allowed in. I’m sure he can be of help.
Ava’s plea appeared almost desperate. “He’s a doctor, letting him in shouldn’t be a problem, right? I just want my brother to wake up sooner.”
Her words moved many in the crowd.
Despite being a princess, she was barred from entering the hospital yet chose to step back instead of escalating the conflict.
How could people not be moved by such an action!
Hearing Ava’s words, Jagger’s expression grew colder as he retorted, “Prince Eason has already found the best doctor. Although this Dr. Thomas may not be famous and his medical skills unknown, since the prince has chosen him, we will unconditionally follow his orders!”
Jagger’s words sounded odd.

While he seemed to be completely loyal to Eason, his statement felt like a subtle critique.
One was the famed Medical Mystic, and the other an obscure doctor with no reputation.
Yet Eason insisted on choosing an unknown.
What on earth did he mean?
The people, who already thought that there was something fishy, became more and more suspicious.
Some shouted angrily, others wept bitterly, and some even began to breach the security line.
Jagger scoffed coldly and fired a shot into the air.
Bang!
The world fell silent for a moment.
With a crazed look, he threatened. “All of you, leave immediately. If you continue this chaos, I will start shooting.”
Shooting?
The crowd was stunned at the prospect of gunfire.
However, their protests only grew more frantic.
“Who gave you the right to shoot?”
“Does the King know about your actions?”
“We must charge in! King Alexander must be a victim of a plot by Prince Eason and this man.”
“Save King Alexander! Save Tonico!”
The chants roared louder as the crowd surged forward with renewed vigor.
Amidst the chaos, Ava shouted, “Although I don’t approve of violence, for Alexander’s sake, I can’t hesitate now. Please help us get Dr. Edel into the hospital!”
The Princess herself asking for help galvanized the crowd further, spurred on by instigators among them.
The atmosphere turned increasingly fervent.
Suddenly, someone shouted. “Dr. Edel, you must save the King, and charged towards the security line.
“Let Dr. Edel in the hospital.”
“Not allowing Dr. Edel to treat the King is equivalent to murder.”
“Dr. Edel has arrived, how dare you block him?”

One after another, people began to rush towards the security line.
“What should we do now, boss?” A guard asked Jagger, visibly panicked.
Despite having many officers, they were no match for the sheer number of civilians.
It was impossible to hold back the crowd.
Jagger’s gaze flickered as he coldly commanded. “Then shoot.”
“What?” The guard was shocked.
These were the citizens of Tonico.
How could they fire upon their own people?
Jagger shouted loudly, ensuring everyone could hear. “Prince has ordered to shoot! Kill a few, and the rest will fall in line.”
The crowd indeed heard him, and their rage began to spread like wildfire.
Far from retreating, they charged even more fiercely at the hospital.
Seeing the hesitation among his men to fire. Jagger scoffed and pulled out his gun
Whether Prince had given such an order or not, as the head of the Royal Guard, Jagger represented him.
By declaring it was the Prince’s order, he implicated the prince.
If he managed to kill a few people, it would be even harder for Prince to clear his name.
After this, Prince and the throne would be irrevocably estranged.
A cold glint flashed in Jagger’s eyes as he raised his weapon and fired directly into the crowd.
“Stop!”
Eason accompanied by Thomas, had just arrived on the scene.
causing his
As he approached, he witnessed Jagger firing his gun, expression to shift subtly.
Jagger’s gaze flickered, pretending not to hear, and continued to fire.
To completely ruin Eason, a few casualties were necessary.
Jagger, I’m ordering you to stop.” Eason shouted.
“Your Highness.” Jagger called out loud. “Rest assured, I will ensure that no one gets to see the king.” Eason was furious and wanted to say more, but the chaos was too much for mere words to control.
ed the crowd.

Some retreated, but many more surged forward in anger.
Jagger continued to shoot emotionlessly, aiming directly at the heart of one individual, intent on killing him.
This act would crush Eason’s chance of succession.
With this shot, Eason would be forever nailed to a pillar of shame.
A slow smile crept across Jagger’s lips as he prepared to take the shot.
Eason, realizing Jagger’s intention, had a subtle shift in expression.
Clearly, the once fiercely loyal captain of the Royal Guard had long betrayed the Nicholas family.
Who was Jagger’s true master?
Princess Ava?
Or someone else?
These thoughts swirled chaotically, but at that moment, they seemed inconsequential.
Jagger had fired his gun.
With clenched teeth, Eason acted with unprecedented speed, diving to shield the intended victim.
The bullet grazed his arm, flying off into the distance, leaving his arm bleeding profusely, staining it crimson.
The world fell silent for a moment.
The crowd looked on in surprise at Eason’s action.
What was happening?
Eason had rushed out and saved someone from Jagger’s gunfire?
Jagger’s gaze flickered. Pretending not to have seen the prince’s heroics, he aimed in a different direction, intending to fire again.
Eason, unable to tolerate anymore, stood up and blocked Jagger’s line of fire, his voice cold, “You want to shoot? Fine, aim at me!”
Jagger’s eyes darted about, weighing his options, then lowered his gun with hesitation.
“Prince Eason, it’s too late to win over these people now. They are just rioters, deserving of their fate,” he said..
With one sentence, Jagger twisted Prince Nicholas’s act of heroism into an attempt to buy public favor. The crowd, initially swayed by the prince’s bravery, grew angry again.

Was Eason there to buy their hearts?
As the scene was on the verge of erupting again, Eason spoke calmly, “Jagger.”
“I am here,” Jagger replied sternly, I’m at your service, Prince Eason.”
“I wouldn’t dare command you,” Eason said expressionlessly. “I’m just curious, what grudge do you have against me?”
“Why would you say that, Prince?” Jagger’s gaze flickered.
Ignoring him, Eason turned to the crowd. “Do you really think Jagger is wholeheartedly supporting me? He seems to speak for me, but every word he says puts me on the spot. I never ordered him to shoot, yet he took it upon himself to do so, claiming it was my command. I couldn’t bear to see lives lost here and risked my own life to save someone, only to be accused of currying favor?”
Eason said coldly, “Currying favor? Would I use my life for that? The bullet just now was aimed straight at my heart.”
With Eason’s clarification, the man he had saved spoke up. “Indeed, that’s true. If it weren’t for Eason, I would have been shot in the heart.”
The crowd, having witnessed the whole incident, began to doubt again.
What was really going on?
Jagger glanced at the saved man and added. “So, it seems Prince had your own plans. I acknowledge that shooting was my own decision, and I should not have disrupted your plan.”
Jagger’s insinuation was that the man’s rescue was just a well–orchestrated act by Eason.
Eason, however, just smiled at Jagger’s suggestion, causing Jagger to feel uneasy.
What was behind that smile?
“So, do you still believe Jagger is on my side?” Eason asked the crowd in a neutral tone.
As the crowd observed Jagger, their agitation gradually subsided.
What was really happening?
Jagger was stunned.
He realized he had been too obvious in discrediting Eason.
If he truly was loyal to the prince, why would he be so blatantly undermining him?
Jagger felt a little upset.
He was a little too anxious.
Ignoring Jagger, Eason addressed the crowd. “Please trust me. I stand with all of you.”

Although not everyone was convinced, the crowd calmed down.
Princess Ava then spoke softly, “Eason, I believe you.”
Eason frowned, his guard up.
Ava continued in a gentle tone. “We are both relatives of the king. Everything we do is for his well–being. We shouldn’t argue anymore. How about this? I won’t visit the king. You take Dr. Edel into the hospital, okay?”
Her eyes flickered.
Whether she saw the king or not wasn’t important to her.
If Dr. Edel could just get close to the king, the king’s fate would be sealed.
Upon his death, she planned to manipulate the narrative and blame Eason.
Eason still had no chance with the throne.
“Yes, Prince. We trust you, but please let Dr. Edel treat the king.”
“Yeah, he’s the Medical Mystic after all.
“Prince, saving the king is crucial.”
Voices rose and fell in the crowd.
A subtle look of triumph flashed in Ava’s eyes.
Although Eason had countered one of Ava’s schemes, she wasn’t fazed.
She had more tricks up her sleeve, intent on removing him from the line of succession.
Once Eason lost his right to the throne, she would be the most likely candidate to ascend.
‘Eason!
This time, let’s see how you choose.
‘Allowing Edel to treat the king would almost certainly lead to the king’s demise and your disqualification from kingship.
‘Refusing Edel’s assistance would only fuel public suspicion.
‘After all, Edel was hailed as the Medical Mystic, a highly skilled doctor. If you didn’t let him treat the king, wouldn’t that seem suspicious?
‘Once public opinion spread, Eason would also have no chance to sit on the throne.
“No matter the choice, you were set to lose. She thought.

As Ava reveled in her plotting, she heard a calm voice. “Does Edel really deserve to treat the king?”
Frowning slightly, Ava mockingly regarded Thomas, “Oh, it’s you. Does the Medical Mystic not deserve it? Do you?”
She exaggerated her expression mockingly and turned to Edel, “Edel, they say the great Medical Mystic doesn’t deserve to treat the king. Don’t you have anything to say?”
“Haha.” Edel sneered and showed an arrogant expression. “A nobody dares to challenge me?”
Ava said in a sweet voice, “Dr. Edel, you don’t understand. Sometimes those with the least ability shout the loudest.”
“He can only shout.” Edel responded with scorn.
Edel had always carried himself with arrogance.
People generally believed that someone as capable as he claimed to be had the right to be proud. Rather than opposing him, they found Thomas’s challenge to be presumptuous.
Thomas smiled calmly at Edel. “I hear you’re the Medical Mystic?”
“Heard? I am the Medical Mystic.” Edel said without hesitation.
“But you
not from Coraland, and the Medical Mystic is.” Thomas pointed out.
Edel frowned, “Who told you the Medical Mystic is from Coraland? Haven’t you seen my notes? They’re all in Elorish.”
Thomas raised an eyebrow, “Weren’t you raised in Ethopia from a young age? You wouldn’t have much knowledge about Coraland, would you?”
“So what?” Edel grew more impatient, “What’s the problem with that?”
