Chapter 89

Though Claire was puzzled, she followed instructions and brought a black garbage bag from the kitchen.

Without hesitation, Claire placed the bag over Nathan's head.

This act shocked and angered Adah, Ethan, and Vanessa.

"Claire, how could you be so cruel? Dad is already in this state, and you still want

to suffocate him with a garbage bag. Are you even human?" Vanessa cried out, raising her hand to strike Claire, but Claire swiftly blocked her.

"If you don't understand, just keep your mouth shut," Claire snapped, silencing everyone present.

She glanced at them coldly. "The purpose of placing a plastic bag over the head is to increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the body. When a patient hyperventilates, they exhale too much carbon dioxide, causing its levels to drop, which raises the blood pH and leads to alkalosis. By covering the mouth and nose with a plastic bag, the carbon dioxide they exhale is re-inhaled, helping to restore the normal acid-base balance."

"Vanessa, weren't you one of the top students at Elite Crest High? How come you don't understand something as simple as maintaining acid-base balance?" Claire mocked, her voice dripping with disdain.

Vanessa's face flushed with anger, but she remained silent, unable to retort.

After a while, Nathan slowly regained his composure. He yanked the bag off his head, threw it to the ground, and angrily moved toward Claire.
