This made Sean anxious beyond relief.' What's going on? Is Bonnie even inside this ward? Is she fine? Is her baby still with her? She... Even after what happened, will she still choose to be with Jim?'
Suddenly, the emergency alarm started ringing fiercely. The doctor had installed an emergency button in the ward so people could press it to alert hospital staff when an emergency occurred.
The loud ringing blared across the hallway, scaring the napping guards outside the door awake. Before they could react, however, a man wearing a janitor's uniform dashed right into the ward.
"What happened?” Sean was the first to rush into the ward.
What he did not expect to see, however, was Jim choking Nikki’s neck beside Bonnie's bed instead of Bonnie, who was lying on the bed.
"Nikki!" Sean instantly rushed over and instinctively pushed Jim away before pulling Nikki into his arms, the woman's face already turning purple at this point." What have you done to my sister, Jim?!”
Jim stumbled backward due to Sean shoving him, but he managed to regain his footing. He sneered and glanced at Sean." You should be asking your sister what she has done to Bonnie instead."
Jim squinted at Sean as he coldly added," See what's she wearing? She wore a nurse's uniform and came in here to inject poison into Bonnie's body. I caught her red-handed, yet she refused to admit it. Manhandling her like that is only fair!" Sean's body trembled as he held Nikki in his arms. He lowered his head to gaze at Nikki. "Nikki... Did you..."
"I didn't!" Nikki vehemently shook her head, her eyes glossed with tears. "I didn't, I swear!"
Tears fell from her eyes as her face reddened. "Alright, I had disguised myself as a nurse to come in here, but . I didn't do it because I want to kill Ms. Craig!" She wiped away her tears as she added, "Sean, after everything that happened, you nearly completely isolated me because of her. I know what she meant to you, and I'd never do anything that would hurt her.
"I've made up my mind to apologize to her,: b+
She sniffed, her sobs turning to full-out cries. "I got worried when I saw Ms. Craig had an accident this afternoon. I thought that if something bad happened to Ms.
Craig, you'd be devastated, even if you don't think about going after her. Also, I know you and Mr. Landry are at odds right now, and you'd be embarrassed to visit her yourself.
"So, I disguised as the nurse and wanted to visit Ms. Craig to find out about her situation for you, but I never thought Mr. Landry would come in here too, right after I did, so I quickly hid when he came in...
"I can't believe my eyes! I saw him injecting something into Bonnie's body, and he tried to eliminate me when he knew I had seen everything!"
