Chapter 3418 Accepted Her As Her Daughter-In-Law

After signing the agreement, Karen eagerly handed it over to the man she believed to be the lawyer.

The moment the doctor took the shares transfer agreement, a syringe containing anesthesia slipped from his sleeve and was swiftly injected into Karen's hand.

"You..." Karen felt a sharp sting, but before she could speak, her consciousness faded.

At the same time, the knife in her hand clattered to the floor.

The doctor quickly steadied her to prevent her from hitting her head when she collapsed.

"Luckily, the dose was strong enough, or she wouldn't have been knocked out so quickly." He gently laid her down, checked to make sure she was unconscious, and then hurried out of the office to notify the hospital director.

Percy quickly stepped forward, gently lifting Nina's chin to examine her wound.

"I'm fine," Nina said in a soft voice, lowering her head to hide the injury on her neck.

"Let me take a look at you," Percy insisted, gently lifting her chin again. After checking, he added, "It's not very deep."

"Yeah, if I hadn't moved around so much, I wouldn't have been hurt," Nina replied in a soft voice. Although this was all Karen's doing, Nina did not want to make things more difficult for him. That was why she did not want to escalate the situation.

"Sit tight. I'll be right back," Percy said as he walked out of the office.

The director and several doctors entered the room.

The director approached Nina with an apologetic expression. "Mrs. Mallory, I'm truly sorry. This was due to negligence on our part. We allowed the patient to escape, causing you distress. We're very sorry.

"I heard you were injured too. Why don't you let our doctor tend to your wound?"

The director carefully examined the injury on Nina's neck, then let out a sigh of relief.

Even though it had bled, it was not serious overall.

"No need to trouble yourselves. Just send her back." Nina glanced at the still-unconscious Karen with mixed emotions.
