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.
