The doctor wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly before hastily pulling out a note. He said, "This..."
The situation was urgent at the time since the nurses were present, making it challenging to exchange messages. Fortunately, Lily was clever enough to understand with just a glance. It saved the doctor from having to explain further.
"Hmm." Edward took the note but did not open it. Instead, he kept it in his pocket, asking, "How’s the young lady doing?"
"She's doing fine! Ms. Christian has incredible mental resilience. She was able to endure in that kind of environment. She's truly remarkable. I've never seen such a strong woman," the doctor replied.
"Cut the crap!" Edward furrowed his brow and interrupted.
The doctor quickly corrected himself, "She and her unborn baby are safe and healthy; please rest assured. A-About my family..."
"They’re safe and healthy," Edward quickly assured him, "What did they ask you to do to her?"
"T-They gave me a vial of medicine and instructed me to inject it into her," the doctor stammered but answered honestly.
"What kind of medicine?!" Edward asked nervously as soon as he heard the word "medicine."
The doctor shook his head. "I don't know. They didn't tell me. But based on my years of medical experience, it should be a slow-acting anesthetic."
"A slow-acting anesthetic?"
"Yes, this type of drug gradually reduces resistance. Although Ms. Christian is skilled and is an excellent kickboxer, even the strongest person wouldn't be able to resist if this anesthetic is administered for a long time." the doctor nodded.
