As this was a downtown hospital, there were many patients at night and even the wards were full.
I could only sit in the corridor and receive the IV drip. The nurse left after administering the IV drip for me.
It was late at night, and most patients had already fallen asleep. Hence, the corridor was relatively quiet.
I felt sleepy, but I would not be able to sleep in peace in an unfamiliar environment like this, so I merely closed my eyes to rest.
Shannon and Jordan were not here yet. It seemed like there were many people lining up to pay bills, and parking spaces were difficult to find.
The sound of footsteps rang in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw a male doctor standing beside me.
Seeing me open my eyes, he asked, "Did I wake you?"
I shook my head. "I wasn't sleeping."
I looked up at the bottle, which was almost empty.
Seeing a syringe in the doctor's hand, I frowned. "Aren't you supposed to change the bottle?"
"I have to administer this first.” The doctor pulled off the tube and inserted the needle into the tube and injected the medicine.
“No, wait." I stood up in shock. "What did you give me?"
Why did he inject it without informing me anything?
The doctor did not stop. "This is saline. The concentration of the medication is too high and can aggravate your allergies."
Although I did not know much about medicine, something just did not feel right.
"Don't worry.” The doctor smiled. "I can't harm you."
That was true.
I pursed my lips and said no more.
Later, he went to look for the other patients to change their dressing. Seeing how skilled he was, I could not help but stop suspecting. I closed my eyes and continued to rest.
