How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 680

The man's unyielding grip only heightened Elodie's anxiety, his hand clamped so tightly on her shoulder she couldn't so much as flinch.

"What do you think you're doing? No one told me I needed any injections!" Elodie's instincts were sharp in certain matters, and every second made her more certain something was wrong.

"Ms. Thorne, there's no need to be nervous. It's just an allergy test," the nurse said, strolling over to help the doctor restrain her. Her voice was casual, almost detached, but her actions were forceful and brisk.

Elodie was certain—this wasn't supposed to happen.

Her health was already fragile; every procedure had to be carefully considered and approved by her physician.

Elias hadn't ordered any such test.

And this wasn't a blood draw-it was an injection.

"Let me go!" Elodie suddenly began to struggle, panic sharpening her voice.

But her protests did nothing to slow them. The nurse, growing impatient, used both hands to pin Elodie down.

Helpless, Elodie watched in horror as the silent man pushed a needle into her vein and injected a sliver of liquid.

She didn't know where the strength came from, but in that instant, desperation took over. She thrashed, uncaring if the needle tore her arm, and lashed out, kicking hard at the man's midsection.
