Chapter 10: The Red Mist
The moment Renar landed on the rooftop helipad at Terenian Hospital, the medical team was already on standby.
They rushed the woman with a dagger still lodged in her stomach straight to the operating room, where the automatic CT scan immediately began assessing her wound.
Renar followed closely behind, giving a brief explanation to the surgeon and poison specialist.
"Look, the dagger's tip has torn the womb tissue. It's not deep enough to damage the womb, but just enough to spread the poison." one surgeon pointed at the CT scan results on the screen.
"The fetus's heartbeat is weakening too. Looks like she'll lose it," the CT scan technician added.
"I've run her blood. This poison's effect is severe but not fatal to her vital organs. For now, it's still concentrated in her womb. We could administer the antidote, but it'll damage the baby for sure and numb her nerves temporarily," the poison specialist explained, showing Renar the results.
"Hmm," Renar muttered, glancing at the blood test results.
"I suspect this assassination was designed to ensure she lost the baby without losing her life, leaving her in a vegetative state," the general surgeon added.
Renar clenched his jaw, the medical team in the observation room awaiting his decision. The cruel decision to let go of the unborn child.
If he could, he would use his healing powers to save her and the baby, but against poison, he was powerless.
There was no cure for silver poisoning except the antidote, and its effects were something no werewolf ever wished to endure.
