Elias was thinking about what happened yesterday and wanted to talk it over with Elodie.

Elias stepped forward, his gaze steady on Elodie. "Yesterday, when I saw you, there was an IV needle in your arm. I had the residue in the syringe analyzed. It turns out it was a clinical medication meant to improve circulation, but it was mixed with an anesthetic-something quite potent. That's what caused your sudden reaction."

Elodie's face drained of color, her lips pressing into a tight line. "But... this is a hospital. How could something like that happen here?"
