The nurse who was responsible for Nana's medicine came over in a hurry. She took the medicine Dr.
Rick left and said, "Dr. Rick, this is it. I didn't find anything wrong. Besides, the management of our
nursing station is very strict. There is no possibility for others to come in, with the exception of a few
nurses. Especially that Nana's medicine had always been under my care. I pay special attention to it. I
just take out the bottle whenever it's time for Nana to take her medicine. Other than that, it's locked all
the time. It's impossible for anyone else to get it."
The nurse was not stupid. Dr. Rick suddenly investigated Nana's medicine not just because he wanted
to, but it was most likely because he had been suspecting that someone had tampered with Nana's
medicine. It might have caused Nana's condition to worsen.
"Well, I believe you. Don't worry. Just give me the medicine." He knew that if someone had indeed
tampered Nana's medicine, it wouldn't be the same nurse in charge for it. There must be someone
else.
Now the only thing he could do was check on the medicine.
"Alright, Doc," the nurse said as she handed the medicine to Rick.
He then proceeded to the ward while holding onto the medicine.
"Have you found anything, Rick?" Nancy stood up and asked.
Rick unscrewed the bottle cap and took out a white pill and placed it on his palm; then he put the bottle
inside his pocket. He examined the small pill, put it inside his mouth and chewed it gently.
"Do you suspect that someone has made alterations in Nana's medicine?" asked Nancy.
If that was the case, it would be too dangerous and terrifying, at the same time.
A lot of bad things had been happening in the hospital recently. Boyd, the arson case, and now
someone was probably attempting to drug Nana.
The hospital was supposed to be a place to save people. When did it become such a dangerous
place?
'Nana, do you have any idea who might be behind all of this?' Nancy asked in her heart.
Feeling a chill all over her body, Nancy crossed her arms over her chest and gently rubbed her
shoulders.
Rick spat out the pill and said, "I'm pretty sure someone has tampered with Nana's medicine and
replaced them with oryzanol. This person must have had knowledge about the effects of this medicine.
It's not harmful, though. Some people take two pills of oryzanol every day and it won't affect their health
negatively. It's just that it also won't have any effect in Nana's disease."
"I specifically ordered the nurse to take care of Nana's medicine. I'll ask her." Nancy walked out angrily.
However, Ricky stopped her. "It's not the nurse's fault. You shouldn't blame her. It would be useless for
you to come look for her right now."
Nancy shrugged. "What should I do now then? Tell me! Someone clearly doesn't want Nana to
recover," Nancy said anxiously. "If she doesn't get better, the matter regarding the club will never be
settled. After Dale's death, David will be convicted of murder. There must be someone else behind this.
David could not have done so many bad things while hiding the club for so many years alone!" cried
Nancy.
"I know you feel like something has to be done right away, Nancy, but just pause and think about it.
Whose interests are most likely to be threatened if something bad happens to the club?" Rick told
Nancy while his eyes were fixed on her.
"Really think about it," he added.
Nancy tapped the space between her eyebrows repeatedly while trying to think deeply. She actually
didn't even need to think too much. Naturally, she should have known who would be affected the most
if something happened to the club.
Nancy didn't want to say it out loud but she had to.
"The Fu family," Nancy uttered with difficulty.
"That's it! Frederic is an esteemed man in this city. Charles is basically omnipotent. They wouldn't want
anything to happen to the club, and that would be enough motive for them to keep Nana from getting
well," Rick concurred.
"Did you mean that it could be Charles then?" asked Nancy.
"That's just my guess. For now, we don't have any evidence to prove that. We can't go to the
authorities empty-handed. I've brought some medicine for Nana. Take it and feed Nana yourself every
day. Ask the nurses to stop dispensing medicine for Nana in the meantime." He then took out another
bottle of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Nancy. "Remember, be as discreet as possible. No
one else can find out about this. Otherwise, Nana's life will be in more danger."
"No way? Even if the Fu family is powerful, they won't disregard the law." Nancy shook her head and
said, "It can't be Charles. He respects and values other people's lives."
Charles was unlike his family.
He wasn't cruel. He was just unreasonable for the most part.
After getting along with him for such a long time, Nancy was convinced that Charles would never be
someone who would hurt other people's lives deliberately.
That was why she was very reluctant to hear Rick's words. She lowered her head and bit her lips.
"Nancy, that's not what I meant. I'm not saying that the person behind this must be Charles. The Fu
family is a big family. They are so powerful, they can have someone killed with just one snap. They
don't need to make a big move. However, judging by the way they interfered with Nana's medications, it
can be inferred that the intention was just to keep Nana from being sober, not to end her life," Rick
explained.
"Okay, okay. I get it now." Nancy nodded along, but her heart still felt heavy. She felt that she was on
the edge of a giant whirlpool, and that she would fall anytime if she wasn't careful.
She was feeling helpless and desperate. It almost seemed liked she was being suffocated.
"Alright, I have to leave you for now. Call me if you need anything, okay?" Rick said after he glanced at
his watch to check the time.
Nancy felt sorry for troubling Rick over and over, so she felt the need to ask, "Shall we have lunch
together?"
Rick raised his eyebrows and replied in a slightly playful but slightly serious tone, "Are you asking me
out? Seriously?"
"Do you feel in your heart that I'm not being serious? Of course, I am asking you sincerely." Nancy
shrugged and smiled timidly.
"You are like a goddess in my heart, Nancy," Rick stated.
"A goddess?" Nancy started blushing but was attempting to hide it. "How could I be that charming?
That can't be true!"
"But you are charming! I think you're a great person and that you're the best in the world. You are
independent and you don't give up easily. You are hardworking and you have so much determination.
Nancy, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me!"
In his eyes, Nancy was perfect and irreplaceable.
He also knew that Nancy didn't love him. Over the years, he had been trying to find someone else
exactly like Nancy, but would also reciprocate the love that he had for her.
But he wasn't successful in that field.
Rick was very disappointed but there was nothing he could do about it.
He still believed that if two people were meant to be together, fate would lead them to each other.
"Well, don't patronize me. I'm gonna go head to the gastroenterology department." She was still
worried about Nadia.
"Okay, then, I will wait for you here," Rick said and nodded while smiling at her.
As a doctor, Rick was deeply aware of the word "busy". There were always patients that couldn't be
finished in both the ward and the outpatient department.
Doctors were used to being exposed to a lot of stressful situations.
"Okay." As soon as Nancy turned around to leave, she heard someone screaming like a banshee.
She turned her head and saw that Nana suddenly opened her yes. Nana stared at the ceiling, her eyes
full of horror.
When Nancy got back to where Nana was, she had trouble catching her breath.
"Nana, are you awake?"
