Chapter 158: Murder Attempt
"Doctor Finn, what is this?" Athena started when Finn entered the ward, pointing at the drip she had deftly stopped administering to Ewan.
"Why is there an overdose of digoxin administered to Mr. Ewan? And why are there traces of succinycholine in the drip?"
Finn looked as confused as the other males in the room, who didn’t know the drugs Athena was talking about but realized from the scowl on her face that a mixture of the two was not exactly good news.
Yet Finn was now the center of attention because he recognized the drugs Athena referred to.
"That cannot be possible," He uttered vehemently, walking up to the bed and picking up the drip bag positioned near Ewan, who was oblivious to his surroundings.
Athena waited, though impatient, her face still scowling, as Finn’s eyes scanned the drip bag slowly.
Meanwhile, Finn couldn’t fathom how Athena had discovered that there was succinycholine in the drip. The liquid was colorless, for goodness’ sake! Just who was this woman?
"I don’t know how this happened. I was sure I only put digoxin as medicine. I honestly can’t tell how this mistake occurred. Maybe it’s from the company in charge?"
Athena pressed her lips together as she observed the earnestness in Finn’s face. He didn’t seem to be lying, but it didn’t ease her unease; she knew the company was trustworthy. She had also seen the needle scar on the drip bag. Someone had injected succinycholine into the standard drip to either paralyze or kill Ewan.
But why? Who was after Ewan’s life?
She looked at the male on the bed, who appeared near death, and inhaled deeply. It seemed he had become a target as well. This meant she had to manage his treatment alone; she couldn’t trust anyone.
