Luna's grip tightened around her phone upon hearing Rachel's words, then asked in a trembling voice, "Dr. Liddell, are...you sure?"
Even though Rosalyn was her mother, Luna could not help wishing that, for once, Rosalyn was wrong.
If Rosalyn was wrong, this meant that Rachel was right, and Bonnie would not die.
Nothing mattered more than Bonnie's health!
"I'm certain," Rachel replied confidently. " Luna, I've been studying medicine since I was fifteen, and with more than ten years of experience in the medical field, I can guarantee that Bonnie will be fine!
"She won't die, much less in seven days. Not only that, but I discovered the presence of a special drug in Bonnie's blood report."
Rachel let out an exhale and said with a hint of helplessness, "This drug has the ability to improve the function of all of the organs in the body within a short time, but it comes with a nasty side effect: it'll put the patient to sleep-a coma-like state—for a very long time.
"My guess is that Bonnie was injected with this drug, which put her into a coma and made it seem as though she wouldn’t survive past seven days, but..."
Rachel furrowed her brows before continuing, "According to this drug's normal mechanism of action, it'll only put Bonnie to sleep after seven days of being injected into her body, but for some reason, it has taken effect early.
"Or perhaps, this particular drug has been modified by the injector so that it'll take effect immediately upon entering her body. I can't say for sure unless I conduct more research into this."
She let out a sigh. "Luna, I know you'll be more inclined to believe your mother, but I can guarantee that I'm not wrong this time. I'm willing to confront your mother on this if it comes to that."
Luna felt the weight lift off her shoulders at the sound of Rachel's determination. "Dr. Liddell, I believe you."
"Unless something unexpected happens to her within this week, she'll be able to wake up, healthy :g"
