Chapter 438:
In moments, the searing pain dulled into an ache so intense it was almost unbearable.
“Linsey!” Gorman couldn’t hold back anymore. He yanked Linsey’s wrist, snatching the medicine from her hand.
Startled, Linsey looked up, her eyes widening as she saw Gorman’s face drain of color, his forehead slick with cold sweat.
Panic surged within her as she saw the distress on his face. “Gorman, what’s happening?”
Gorman struggled to stay conscious, his gaze locking onto the bottle in his hand. His fingers trembled as he noticed the raised letters on the label-less bottle—this wasn’t the right medication!
His eyes widened in shock, a surge of anger and despair flooding his chest. With a violent throw, Gorman hurled the bottle to the floor, his voice breaking with fury. “Linsey! Do you want me to die?”
Linsey stood frozen, her heart racing as confusion washed over her. She tried to make sense of the chaos unfolding before her.
She could only watch in helpless panic as Gorman’s face paled further, his features contorting in pain.
It felt as though a thousand blades were twisting inside his wound. “It’s not me! I didn’t know…” Linsey cried out, reaching for him in an attempt to comfort him.
“Get lost!” Gorman’s eyes burned with deep disappointment as he shoved her aside, his strength surprising her.
He had believed Linsey truly cared for him. But never in his worst thoughts had he imagined she would tamper with his medication. Had her hatred for him really sunk this low?
In the next moment, a wave of pain hit him, bending him over. A mouthful of blood spilled from his lips, splattering onto the floor in a gruesome sight.
“Gorman!” Linsey’s voice trembled with fear as she cried out. Hearing the chaos, Danny rushed into the room. When he saw the scene, he shoved Linsey aside.
“What did you do to Mr. Green?” Danny demanded, his face draining of color in fear.
Before Linsey could respond, Danny rushed to Gorman’s side, trying to steady him. “Mr. Green!”
Danny turned and shouted toward the door, “Someone! Call for a doctor!” A moment later, Gorman vomited another large spurt of blood, collapsing unconscious onto the bed.
“Mr. Green!” Danny called out, desperately trying to rouse him. But Gorman remained completely unresponsive, lost in a deep, lifeless coma.
Linsey’s heart raced wildly in her chest, her face twisted in worry as she stared at Gorman, whose pale complexion was nothing short of terrifying.
Her mind was a whirlwind of panic and disbelief. How had this happened? How could Gorman suddenly vomit blood and collapse into a coma?
The ringing in her ears drowned everything out, and a wave of anxious heat spread across her face.
Danny quickly called for assistance, and together, they helped him out of the hospital room.
As he moved past Linsey, who stood frozen in shock, Danny shot her a glare filled with resentment before shoving her aside.
“Move!” he snapped.
