Brandon called Sean and asked him to take people to the airport to see if they could find the syringe Jorge used.
Janet grabbed Frank's arm. "What if... We can't find the syringe?"
Janet 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. Janet 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 Janet. Janet blamed herself fully.
After wrapping up the call, Brandon came to look for Janet. 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. "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." Janet 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 Janet'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, Janet 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 ravaging Draco's body.
Janet 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, Janet looked up at him, her gaze filled with trust and gratitude.
Frank was stunned. He had always thought that Janet 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.
