Chapter 898

Harvey frowned deeply as he opened the door to the hospital room.

Outside, stood a nurse he didn't recognize, her hands carefully balancing a tray, a smile playing on her lips:

"Good morning, Mr. Chambers, it's time for your medication. Delaying could worsen your condition."

"You're not the regular nurse." Harvey eyed her cautiously.

"I was transferred here just yesterday, call me Verna. Trista, the nurse before me, was in a car accident. We're short-staffed,"

Verna reassured him confidently, "Please, you can trust me. I've signed the confidentiality agreement too. I won't spill a word that shouldn't be spilled."

"Come in then." Harvey stepped aside, his tone cool and detached.

As the nurse entered and placed the tray on the bedside table, just about to reach for Avery, the man coldly interrupted:

"We won't be needing your assistance. My assistant can handle the injections. You may leave."

Verna paused, a bit startled, but complied and left the room.

At this moment, Avery could no longer hold back, his left hand trembling as it grasped his equally shaking right arm, his facial muscles too quivering beyond his control:

"Harvey. I can't take this anymore!"

After a while, Avery's trembling ceased, and color slowly returned to his pale face. Harvey sighed, a mix of resignation and frustration coloring his breath.

He was increasingly unable to discern whether the doctor had been Avery's savior or his destroyer.

"Harvey, take this medication to Dr. Green for testing. And, look into this new nurse's background," Avery's eyes dark and piercing, glanced at the syringe on

the tray.
