Meanwhile, Arielle discovered a type of snake venom in the man’s blood serum. “The snake venom
must have come from Manchernius.”
“Snake venom?” Zachary, who stood beside her, disagreed with her analysis. “It’s impossible! During
our blood test earlier, his blood sample didn’t match with all the snake venoms in our database!”
Even the patient’s doctor nodded in agreement. “Dr. Ziegler’s right. His blood sample didn’t match with
the snake venoms in our database. Yes, there’s venom in his body, but we’re not sure what it is.”
“It’s snake venom for sure,” Arielle refuted steadily. “Some snakes are bred and farmed specifically,
and they’re fed with poison. The farmers would then mate those snakes to produce offsprings that are
one of a kind. From what I know, they had successfully bred seven types of snakes, and these snakes
are called Seven Deadly Sins. The venom in the patient’s body belongs to Furious Devil—one of the
seven snakes.”
The patient’s doctor was taken aback upon hearing that name. He stuttered, “Fu…Furious Devil?”
Arielle nodded. “That’s right.”
The snake must be the manifestation of anger. But why? What are they angry about?
Zachary, on the other hand, snorted. “Seven Deadly Sins? The manifestation of anger? Come on.
We’re not shooting a psychological thriller here, so please don’t
crack this kind of joke. Queenie’s coming back soon. I’m sure she’ll know what to do with the patient as
long as we keep him stable.”
Arielle shook her head. “We’re running out of time. Of all the snake venoms, Furious Devil is the most
powerful one, as it could destroy the platelets in the victim’s blood. It wouldn’t pose a threat to ordinary
folks because platelets can regenerate rapidly, but it’s fatal for the patient with hemophilia. He would be
dead by the time the doctor arrives.”
The doctor then checked the patient’s latest data and realized he had a low platelet count, as Arielle
had predicted
Upon seeing the test results, Zachary panicked. “What do we do now?”
“We need to clear the venom from his body,” she said.
Now that Arielle had confirmed the source of venom, Arielle needed to wait for the items to arrive
before she could proceed with the treatment.
Zachary cast a doubtful glance at her. “You said the venom is deadly. Are you capable of treating the
patient?”
“Yes,” Arielle replied without any hesitation.
Yet, Zachary had no faith in her. Can I trust her?
Before Zachary could make up his mind, the patient’s
doctor immediately said to Arielle. “If that’s the case, please clear the toxin from the patient’s body, Ms.
Moore. I’ll get a few packs of platelets from the blood bank and prepare him for the blood transfusion.”
Arielle nodded.
At that moment, a nurse came in with the items that Arielle needed. “Mr. Nightshire wanted me to pass
this to you. It has all been sterilized.”
“Got it.” Arielle took over the items and laid them all on the desk.
First of all, she had to perform acupuncture on the patient.
In a body checkup conducted earlier, she found out there were not any snakebites on the patient’s
body. In other words, he was poisoned by ingestion.
Hence, Arielle would need to perform acupuncture to purge a part of the venom from the body and then
systematically remove the remaining toxic substance.
After a platelet transfusion, Arielle began her acupuncture treatment.
Inserting the first needle into the acupuncture point on the patient’s skull was a challenging task, as a
slight misjudgment would lead to the patient’s death.
