Chapter: 1298

Sean didn't think much of it. It was normal for nurses and doctors to make rounds to check on patients.

“Alright. Just make sure no strangers enter this ward," he instructed.

When Sean pushed the door open, he found the ward lights off, with only dim safety lighting still on.

The room was dimly lit to provide a calming atmosphere for the patient.

Sean approached the bedside, gently reaching to adjust the thin blanket. As his eyes fell on Norah's cheek, he paused abruptly.

How had those scratches appeared on Norah's cheek?

Something was amiss.

There were no scratches on her cheek when he had left Norah.

Sean flicked on the light, bathing the room in brightness.

Marks from fingernails marred Norah's face, particularly evident across her scar.

Looking upward, Sean noticed an unusual white filamentous substance in the IV bottle.

The IV bottle, which had been clear before, now displayed small white filaments, stark and alarming.

His expression grew dark. He quickly removed the IV needle from Norah's hand and applied pressure to the puncture site.

Clearly, someone had entered the room during his absence, inflicted the scratches, and tampered with the IV bottle.

Relieved that he had decided to check on Norah before resting, Sean realized the danger that had been narrowly avoided.

What if he hadn't checked? The thought chilled him.

The potential harm to Norah tightened his features into a grim mask.

He pressed the bedside call button, and a nurse hurried to the door.

“Sir, is there a problem with the patient?"

Sean explained the situation in a cold, clear voice, highlighting that the abnormalities occurred after a nurse supposedly checked on Norah.

Sweat broke out on the nurse's forehead as she recalled the ward hadn't been checked yet.

It appeared someone had impersonated a nurse.

"Sir, I'll get someone to verify this immediately."

A team of doctors and nurses soon arrived to assess Norah.
