“Dr. Wyance, if there’s nothing else, I’ll proceed to the other wards now.”
After she had said that, the nurse walked around Martin and left the room.
Martin turned around and looked at the nurse’s back with some lingering questions in his mind.
“What’s the matter, Martin?” Nicole asked, as she got up to look at the door from which the noises had emanated.
“It’s nothing. You’ve eaten already, right? I’ve only brought you something light.” Martin said, as he brought some food over to Nicole.
Nicole sat up and looked at Martin as she said, “I’ve had dinner already. So, a light meal will just nice.”
After she had spoken, she unconsciously darted her eyes at Jared, and noticed that a red light was emanating from the life support machine. She got out of bed at once, intending to hurry over to where the equipment were installed.
“What are you doing? Your IV is still attached!” Martin reminded upon seeing her springing to her feet like that.
Nicole pulled the IV needle out without saying anything and walked over to Jared. When she was close, she saw that he was pale as sheet, and so, she proceeded to check the equipment. Next to her, and right beside the life support machine was a cord that had been left unplugged and strewn on the floor. With no time to think, she immediately plugged it in again.
She then observed Jared’s condition.
Concurrently, Martin walked over and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“The life support cord fell off.” Nicole looked at Martin with a frown.
“Fell off?” Martin asked, taken aback when he heard that.
“How did the plug fall off? How’s Jared?” Martin at Jared anxiously.
Nicole did not answer him, and went on to observe Jared quietly. After a while, Jared’s complexion returned to normal and it was only then that was she relieved.
“He’s back to normal.” Nicole said.
Martin heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good then.”
“Did someone come in earlier?” Nicole asked.
“Earlier?” Martin narrowed his eyes, trying to recall.
“I don’t know about earlier but I did run into a nurse just as I came in.”
Nicole too recalled that she had seen a nurse walking in while she was in a daze, and the aforementioned nurse was walking toward Jared before coming up to her. After that, she had paid the nurse no mind.
Just as Nicole was recalling that, she suddenly felt dizzy and staggered, almost falling on Jared. Thankfully, Martin was there to grab her before she could.
“What’s the matter?” Martin looked at her with a look of worry on his face.
“I don’t know. I feel like I am blacking out.” Nicole frowned slightly as she shook her head.
“Why would you feel dizzy all of a sudden? Did you overexert yourself today?” Martin asked, knowing that she was using the laptop today, and that she must have been working in secret.
Just as he was asking her, Nicole slouched against him, and after calling her few times without garnering any response, Martin instinctively felt that something was wrong with Nicole. He immediately picked her up and placed her back on her sick bed before examining her.
And the results shocked Martin. “How is she poisoned?!”
Immediately after, he took the Beacon out to detoxify Nicole, before calling the other medical staff members to bring the emergency rescue equipment in.
In the hallway, the doctors and nurses, who got Martin’s message, rushed into Jared’s ward with medical equipment in tow one after another.
“Hurry, get the equipment ready for emergency rescue! Nicole’s poisoned!’ Martin ordered without dallying.
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard that Nicole was poisoned. Under Martin’s lead, they fought tooth and nail to save Nicole.
At the same time, Jared’s finger twitched again, but no one saw it.
After a long process of expelling the poison from her system, Nicole was finally pulled from the brink of death, and seeing that her vital signs were returning to normal, Martin heaved a sigh of relief.
