Chapter 618: Chapter 619: Poisonous Lotus Flower (2)

"Miss!" Xiuyi came over with the tea in his hands, "What happened?"

"That nurse just then, she was simply unreasonable." Qian Xueying turned to face Duke Locke, her face showing vexation, "And him... you... you take care of it!"

Huangfu Jue came to visit, and she just had the chance to make contact with him, but to her surprise, he was so uncooperative that he vomited the soup, forcing her to send him off.

Seeing the stains on Duke Locke’s clothes, she felt disgusted and signaled Xiuyi to deal with it, then quickly picked up her own bag.

"I’ll wait for you downstairs; come down after you’ve dealt with everything!"

Since Huangfu Jue had already left, there was no need for her to keep playing the role of a filial daughter here.

Inside the restroom.

Gan Yuan vomited a few mouthfuls of acid water and straightened up, ready to wash her hands, when she heard footsteps outside. She instantly pulled up her mask and quickly hid in a stall.

Most of the hospital staff recognized her, and if anyone realized she was an impostor nurse, there would probably be unnecessary complications.

The sound of high heels clicked softly, as Qian Xueying stepped in, looked at her own fingers, and immediately frowned.

"How disgusting!"

Standing in front of the sink, she carefully washed her hands twice. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, arranged her hair in the mirror, touched up her make-up, and then left the restroom.

After she was gone, Gan Yuan finally stepped out again, washed herself, and took out a tissue packet from her pocket. She looked at the half-pill inside and frowned slightly.

Qian Xueying’s behavior just then didn’t at all resemble that of the daughter who was famously filial to her father.

This half-pill must have come out when Duke Locke spat out the soup. At this time, it shouldn’t be time for his medication, and if it were a pill he had swallowed earlier, it couldn’t possibly still be in this shape.

She lifted the half-pill to look at it, carefully wrapped the pill with the tissue, walked out of the restroom, turned into the emergency stairwell, and started to head downstairs. As she did, she removed her nurses’ uniform and pulled up the hood of her hoodie to cover her head and face.

Downstairs, Jessica had already parked the car outside the back door, stuffed her things into a trash can, and Gan Yuan crouched into the back seat.

"Drive off immediately!"

The car left the hospital’s main gate, and as Jessica merged into the fast lane, she noticed the pale complexion of Gan Yuan in the rearview mirror and gently raised an eyebrow.

"You look pale; are you alright?"

Gan Yuan shook her head faintly, and once the car returned to their apartment, she immediately went upstairs to hand over the half-pill to the butler.

"Can you find out what this is?"

With Jessica watching, it wasn’t convenient for her to move around, and she had to find someone to help her with these matters.

So far, the butler was the person she trusted the most.

The butler carefully took the pill and went downstairs, while Gan Yuan, feeling exhausted, sat down on the sofa.

...

...

At dusk, the butler returned and also brought back the test report for that half-pill.

The report showed that it was a kind of neurosuppressive medication, generally used for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, capable of treating insomnia and excessive neural excitement, among other things. The side effects included drowsiness and neural damage, and it might even harm memory...

These effects were completely counterproductive to the treatment of senile dementia; the doctor would not have prescribed such medication for Duke Locke.

As Gan Yuan recounted the scene at the hospital in her mind, her fingers clenched tightly around the report.

"Could it be... her!"

The doctor wouldn’t prescribe this kind of medicine, and the nurse wouldn’t feed it either. The only explanation was that the medicine was put into the soup and fed to Duke Locke.
