"Regardless of what's on your mind, we need to act fast now. It's a matter of life and death," said Johann as he looked at how Luca hesitated with a hint of helplessness.

While she was attending to other patients, she displayed a decisive and efficient demeanor. It was as though she was one of the hospital's doctors, racing against the clock to snatch back lives from the clutches of the Grim Reaper.

However, Luca became indecisive when it came to Queenie’s situation.

Johann could understand, but he still felt a bit helpless.

"Dr. Park, I'm concerned that Mrs. Norman might get emotional when she sees me. How about this? You get the sedative ready. If she gets agitated, give her the shot, and I'll proceed with dry needling."

Luca took a deep breath. Even though using sedatives excessively was harmful to the body, it seemed like the only option now.

Luca was afraid that once she stepped into the ward, Queenie's emotions might soar, causing her blood pressure to skyrocket.

"Alright, but I need to assess the patient's condition. She's not in the right state for a sedative in her current state. I'll have to figure something out before I hit her with anything big."

Although Johann knew Queenie did not actually need a sedative, he agreed with Luca.

He had to play the whole act.

He had to pretend not to know. Otherwise, if there were any slip-ups, Luke's carefully orchestrated plan might fail, and he would not be able to explain himself.

"Got it," Luca nodded, agreeing with him.

Johann immediately went to the nurse's station and prescribed a sedative for Queenie. The pharmacy quickly delivered the medicine to him. As Johann held the sedative, he returned to the ward.

"Dr. Craw, the sedative is ready."

Luca took another deep breath, turned off her phone, and mustered her courage. She took a step forward. Her hands landed on the door handle. The icy sensation crept from her palm, tracing a chilly path down to her feet.

She felt as though she had been submerged in an ice bucket, with the air around her freezing. She simply could not muster any warmth.

Enduring the discomfort in her body, she pushed the door open.
