"Clyde! Stop it right now!" I tried to get out of bed but barely had the strength. Probably, Vinson felt the same. Just as Clyde's fist was about to strike, Warren suddenly appeared, grabbing his elbow.

I couldn't see what he did, but Clyde yelped and immediately withdrew his hand.

Still poker-faced, Warren quipped, "Mr. Patterson, you've got a weak constitution and should get that checked."

Warren looked at Clyde calmly. "I'm not weak. I get my check-ups yearly and keep a healthy lifestyle. Only those who play the field end up weak."

I stared at Warren, his face unchanging except for a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, showing he enjoyed the banter.

"You?" Clyde looked at him incredulously.

Warren adjusted his glasses. "Yes, the two of them got drugged. Eliana and I sought help just before it got worse. This poison's strong, even more so for someone like Melanie..."

"Dr. Warren!" I quickly interjected, sending him signals with my eyes.
