Chapter 490
“Okay, I’ll take care of it,” Frank said seriously.
Immediately, he spoke with the physician treating Draco.
Lots of hospitals in Barnes, including the one they were in now, worked together with
Frank’s private hospital and that he was quite well-known.
When other physicians saw Frank, they came to consult with him.
Frank looked at Draco’s arm for a while before discovering the tiny puncture in which a
micro syringe had entered.
“The pinhole is really tiny since the culprit must have used a micro syringe. You won’t be
able to find it until you examine it very closely.”
From Draco’s arm, Frank drew blood and said, “Test his blood and we should know what
poison it is.”
As this was happening, the electrocardiogram showed an abrupt change; Draco’s heart
rate dropped significantly.
The situation with him was dire!
“Get moving! Come on! Quick, get the patient to the emergency room!”
Draco was hurriedly pushed into the emergency department by the doctor and nearby
nurses.
Natalie hurried after them as they left the ward, but Brandon stopped her.
“Please relax. Even if you go there, you can’t be of any use to him. Leave it to Frank.”
Natalie asked, a little bewildered and shocked, “Right now, things weren’t all that bad.
What caused his condition to change so drastically?”
Later, Frank explained the results of Draco’s blood test, “It appears that Draco was indeed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpoisoned. It’s not the first time I’ve encountered this particular poison. The poison of a
woodland viper. When bitten by this species of viper, the symptoms the victims showed
are identical to those of Draco.”
Frank scratched his jaw and blinked.
“However, I am baffled as to why the poison moved so slowly. Presumably, the poison
contains a secondary’ agent that slows its effects.”
To put it simply, it was a puzzle! Though Frank had been a doctor for many years, he had
just lately come across these unusual poisons.
He could not help but curse.
“Damn it! Why do some people seem to have a compulsion for creating extremely harmful
pharmaceuticals these days? I wish I could get my hands on one of those people! With his
voice down, Brandon approached and said, “What should we do now?”
On hearing that, Frank scowled and considered reprimanding Brandon.
Brandon was a major source of trouble. He had already been struggling to figure out what
to do about the poison someone had used on Brandon, and then Brandon presented him
with yet another problem.
Frank internally groaned, but since Brandon was a close buddy, he just had to help.
So he said, “First, we need to find the syringe. This kind of syringe is minuscule, and it was
injected quickly. The fact that it will leave residue is a drawback. Find it and extract the
residue so we can examine its components. With that, I believe I can develop an antidote.”
Brandon called Sean and asked him to take people to the airport to see if they could find
the syringe Jorge used.
Natalie grabbed Frank’s arm.
“What if… We can’t find the syringe?”
Natalie was feeling a bit pessimistic about the situation.
It was obvious that Jorge had wanted to kill her.
Would he still hide such a damning piece of evidence in the airport? Maybe he had already
destroyed it.
Frank said in a sober tone of voice, “If you can’t find it, I can’t analyze the exact
components of the poison. And if I can’t do that, there may be no way to save Draco.”
Frank was telling the truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, he went back to searching for the other materials he’d
need to save Draco.
This kind of poison was extremely toxic to the human body.
If he wanted to have the antidote ready in time, he would have to make some other
preparations in advance.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Natalie blamed herself for what had happened to Draco.
There had been no previous enmity between Draco and Jorge.
Draco didn’t even know what had happened, but his life was hanging by a thread because
of Natalie.
Natalie blamed herself fully.
After wrapping up the call, Brandon came to look for Natalie. He saw her wiping her nose
and drying her eyes with a box of tissues that a nurse had brought her.
Seeing her like this, Brandon felt sorrow in his heart.
“Frank is a good doctor. With his help, Draco will come out just fine.”
Privately, Brandon wasn’t a big fan of Draco, but that didn’t mean he wished harm upon
him. He really did want him to get better.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I have to go to the airport with Sean. You should stay in the hospital. It’s safer to have
bodyguards around.”
“I want to go with you. I want to help find the syringe.”
Natalie sniffed back her tears, resolve growing on her face.
Brandon hesitated. He didn’t want to agree at first, but he was also afraid that Natalie’s
emotional state would deteriorate even further if she stayed here and looked after Draco.
She needed to feel active and involved.
So he decided to allow her to go with him.
Before leaving, Natalie went into the ward where Draco was lying in bed.
She gasped at seeing how pale his face looked.
Beside him, Frank was having a meeting with a few other doctors, discussing the dire
situation.
They were doing their best to figure out how to fight against the poison currently tavaging
Draco’s body.
Natalie pleaded with them.
“Frank, please save Draco! We will be back soon.”
Frank nodded, a solemn look on his face, as he promised, “I’m a doctor. I’ll do my best to
save my patient.”
“Thank you, Frank. I believe you.”
After drying her eyes, Natalie looked up at him, her gaze filled with trust and gratitude.
Frank was stunned. He had always thought that Natalie and Brandon were a perfect
match.
She wasn’t a delicate, graceful rose who was fragile and needed to be taken care of.
Brandon needed someone just like that.
Someone who wasn’t vulnerable and could really stand up to him when necessary.
