Escaping double quotes in JSON result

I have a set of codes where i have done error handling. I want the result to be {"ErrorMessage": Server is down} However i keep getting the result as {"ErrorMessage":"Server is down"}.

Here are my codes:

catch (Exception e)
        {
            var result = "Server is down";
            return Ok(new { ErrorMessage = result });
        }

I have tried using '@' and '\' characters however it did not work. How do i escape those extra double quotes? Someone please do help me. Thank you so much in advance.

I have decided to leave the result as it is as {"ErrorMessage":"Server is down"} is the correct way of displaying a JSON output. As explained by @dbc, that is a valid JSON object with a property named ErrorMessage whose value is the string Server is down.
