His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1664

“Go and prepare since you might have to stay here overnight. It could be exhausting with only the two of you taking shifts," Dr. Blanc said to the two nurses who remained behind, "Do come back when you're ready. I still have to examine the patient.”

“Okay, Doctor.” The nurses replied and left.

Dr. Blanc took the stethoscope and checked Debbie’s heartbeat, then gave her a rough examination. When he withdrew his hand, he thought about something and gave Lily a look. He took the child's wrist and turned it over, checking her palm.

The palm was soft, but he could see something abnormally yellow in the middle. If one were not careful, they might mistake it for a callous caused by labor.

However, she was still a child and had not done such work before, let alone over a long period of time. Not only that, she had been in the ward recently.

Stroking his finger over it, Dr. Blanc realized it was not a callous but a darker yellow that had shown through the skin. It was something unnatural and abnormal.

Letting go of her hand, he pulled out her feet from under the blanket and checked her soles. They were the same.

Puzzled by what he was doing, Edmund got nearer to take a look and said in astonishment, “What happened to her?”

Dr. Blanc did not answer but looked over at Lily.

“She was poisoned.” Lily mouthed the words silently while casting a quick glance around.

Surveillance cameras were in every room to constantly monitor the patients’ conditions. Of course, there were spots where the cameras did not cover, as they had to give the patients privacy.

“Poisoned?” Edmund nearly shouted, but he was quick to shut his mouth. However, he was still puzzled. “Not because of the virus?”
