NovelEnglishChapter 1664
"Go and prepare since you might have to stay here overnight.It could be exhausting with only the two of you taking shifts,"
Dr.Blanc said to the two nurses who remained behind, "Do cback when you're ready.l still have to examine the patient."
"Okay, Doctor." The nurses replied and left.
Dr.Blanc took the stethoscope and checked Debbie's heartbeat, then gave her a rough examination.
When he withdrew his hand, he thought about something and gave Lily a look.He took the child's wrist and turned it over, checking
her palm.
The palm was soft, but he could see something abnormally yellow in the middle.
If one were not careful, they might mistake it for a callous caused by labor.
However, she was still a child and had not done such work before, let alone over a long period of time.Not only that, she had been
in the ward recently.
Stroking his finger over it, Dr.Blanc realized it was not a callous but a darker yellow that had shown through the skin.It was
something unnatural and abnormal.
Letting go of her hand, he pulled out her feet from under the blanket and checked her soles.
They were the same.
Puzzled by what he was doing, Edmund got nearer to take a look and said in astonishment, "What happened to her?"

Dr.Blanc did not answer but looked over at Lily.
"She was poisoned."
Lily mouthed the words silently while casting a quick glance around.Surveillance cameras were in every room to constantly
n.ovelebook monitor the patients’ conditions.Of course, there were spots where the cameras did not cover, as they had to give the
patients privacy.
"Poisoned?"
Edmund nearly shouted, but he was quick to shut his mouth.However, he was still puzzled.
"Not because of the virus?"
Appearing relatively calmer, Dr.Blanc gazed at Lily quietly, seemingly waiting for her answer.
‘She wanted to have a word withalone.ls this what she wanted to tell me?’
"No."
Shaking her head, Lily turned around and walked toward the blind spot of the surveillance cameras.Dr.Blanc threw her a deep look,
then slowly walked over.Edmund followed closely behind.
"Someone has poisoned Debbie."
When they were near, Lily spoke.
The two men were shocked.
Edmund asked, despite himself, "Poisoned? Hasn't she been infected with the virus already? She's been here, and the food is
specially prepared and delivered to the patients.How could she be poisoned? If she was, wouldn't other patients be poisoned as
well?"
They could only speculate.
‘Other than through the food and drink, how else could she be poisoned? They can’t leave the place!’ "No."
Lily shook her head and said, "It might not be what she ate.The toxin in her isn't strong and is taking effect slowly.Furthermore, it's
not the kind of poison we could easily buy.So someone must have poisoned her."
"Who?" Edmund was shocked.
Surveillance cameras were in every room to constantly monitor the patients’ conditions.

‘Someone poisoned her? Then it's a serious matter! The workers here have all been carefully selected and have gone through strict
background checks.In other words, they were chosen by the government to serve the country.If there's a problem with them, then
it's rather alarming"
"I have no idea.That’s why | couldn't say it just now."
Shaking her head, Lily said thoughtfully, "It's the poison that caused such a physical reaction in Debbie.Dr.Blanc, if you don’t
believe me, you can draw her blood for analysis.You should be able to determine the toxin through a blood test."
