Luca pointed at her face helplessly to show him that it was inconvenient for her to drink it like this.

The man realized it and asked in a low voice, “Do you have a straw? Where is it?"

Luca pointed to the bedside cabinet.

The man opened the drawer and took a straw out. Then, he placed it in the vial, brought it to her mouth, and muttered in a low voice, "How troublesome."

Luca ignored the man who scorned her and slowly took the antidote using the straw.

Previously, she would always finish the antidote in one gulp. No matter how bad it tasted, she was always able to finish it in one gulp. However, she could only suck it with a straw now. The bitterness of the antidote quickly spread out in her mouth.

The man shook the vial to check if it was emptied. After that, he kept the vial away.

"Boss asked me to pass you a message," the man said.

Luca met his eyes in the dark. She remained silent and waited for him to continue his words.

"Your progress is too slow. He's very unhappy about it. You know deep down in your heart what the consequences are if you continue to be like this." The man walked out of the ward after that.

He ran into a nurse who came for a ward round when he pushed the door open.

The nurse was startled when she saw the man. She questioned, "Who are you? It's past visiting hours now. How did you get in here?"

The man's face turned gloomy. He looked at the nurse and thought of killing her. However, when he thought that his actions would cause trouble to the woman inside the ward, he pushed the nurse away and dashed out of the ward.

The nurse fell to the floor and assumed that the man was a thief. After all, this was a VIP ward. The hospital's reputation would be affected if a thief broke in and stole something. She got up and ran to the nurse's station before she could check what had happened in the ward. She informed security that a thief had broken in.
