Chapter 1019: 284: Viola Thompson wakes up, inviting the gentleman to the pot! _6
It was thought that Mantou would gobble up the food in the next second, but Mantou turned his head away instead.
The vet's eyes widened, unable to believe there was a pet with such human-like discernment.
As Baozi and Mantou's condition required overnight observation at the hospital, Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne returned to the hospital.
At this moment, Edward Thompson happened to leave.
The three crossed paths without giving each other a second glance.
Capital City Normal University.
Rachel Barton was called away by a mysterious woman dressed in black.
It was none other than Hikari.
Hikari stood in an unobserved area, her black clothing blending in with the night.
Her tone was cold.
"You must keep a close eye on Viola Thompson's condition the next few days."
Rachel nodded, "I will."
With that, she said, "I'm worried, what if Nathaniel Besian does successfully cure Viola Thompson?"
At her words, Hikari let out a cold laugh, "Relax, Nathaniel doesn't have that capability."
The poison she concocted, it wasn't that easy to neutralize.
Just wait.
The Thompson Family would come begging on their knees.
At the thought, Hikari's face held a twisted look of malice.
She was eagerly anticipating the day Viola would be reduced to a human pig.
With that, Hikari squinted her eyes, "Remember to report to me on Viola's condition at all times."
"Okay." Rachel replied.
The next day.
Nathaniel Besian was to perform the surgery on Viola.
Dressed in surgical attire with Professor Alnwick and Professor Lincoln assisting, Nathaniel Besian was inexplicably nervous facing the young girl on the operating table, even though it was not his first time performing a surgery.
He took a deep breath, scalpel in hand, "Let's begin."
The operating room light came on.
Those waiting outside the operation room looked extremely anxious.
As time ticked by slowly.
Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne paced anxiously.
Fiona Knight, Diana Hershey, Flora Tiarks, Rachel and others, on the other hand, were restlessly seated on the blue plastic chairs.
The Thompson Clan was praying for her safety.
The air was eerily silent.
No one spoke.
Three hours later.
Click!
The operating room light dimmed.
Then, the doors to the operating room opened.
Nathaniel Besian stepped out from inside.
"Divine Doctor, how did it go? Was the operation successful?" The Thompson Clan swarmed Nathaniel Besian immediately after he emerged.
Nathaniel Besian took off his mask, "The operation was relatively successful, but whether Miss Thompson can regain consciousness is entirely up to her willpower."
He continued, turning to look at the crowd, "Also, Miss Thompson was maliciously poisoned. Given her intelligence, she will definitely be able to identify the person who poisoned her the moment she regains consciousness!"
At his words, their faces reflected a mix of emotions.
No one expected that Viola had been poisoned.
What exactly had happened?
Especially Rachel.
Rachel had not expected Nathaniel Besian to be this capable.
The operation was successful...
What if Viola truly woke up?
"Who would poison Viola?" Diana Hershey was baffled. Who would want to harm such a kind-hearted girl? "Divine Doctor, could you have made a misdiagnosis?"
"Rest assured, I've been practicing medicine for over a decade, and I've never been wrong," Nathaniel Besian immediately replied, "For now, let's leave everything to time. Once Miss Thompson wakes up, we'll know the whole truth."
Mary Perryne immediately asked, "When will Viola wake up?"
"That's hard to say," Nathaniel Besian did not directly answer Mary Perryne's question, "It mostly depends on Miss Thompson's willpower."
Rachel was now anxious.
What to do?
What were her options?
Soon after, Rachel Barton went to the bathroom and reported this situation to Hikari.
Hikari was somewhat surprised when she received this news.
It seems she underestimated Nathaniel Besian.
She didn't expect that Nathaniel would accurately diagnose the cause of Viola Thompson's illness.
It seems.
Nathaniel did inherit some skills from Suwen.
However.
What happens after the cause is diagnosed?
What they can't imagine is that the person who betrayed Viola is Viola's best friend.
If she had the ability to poison Viola once.
She can kill Viola again.
When she initially spared Viola's life, her intention was to torture Viola and turn her into a human pig.
Viola, a person so proud, would surely find this fate more terrifying than death.
Now it seems, this plan will not work at all!
With this thought in mind, Hikari squinted her eyes, "Just stay put for now. If there are new instructions, I will notify you."
"Okay." Rachel Barton hung up the phone.
Viola Thompson had already been moved to the general ward.
The Thompson family was discussing Viola's poisoning.
Listening to these discussions, Rachel Barton couldn't help her emotions, and she tried to pretend that nothing had happened.
Just then, Diana Hershey came over and asked, "Rachel, where have you been?"
Rachel replied: "I went to the bathroom."
"Oh," Diana Hershey nodded, "Rachel, did you hear? Viola was actually poisoned! Thankfully the Divine Doctor was there! I heard Viola will wake up as early as tomorrow. Then she'll know who poisoned her. We'll have to absolutely tear that person to pieces, otherwise they won't get their just desserts!"
Tear to pieces?
Hearing this, Rachel was shaken, but she still pretended as if nothing had happened. "Diana, you're right, we should tear them to pieces, or we won't be able to vent our anger."
"Hmm!" Diana Hershey nodded as Rachel was increasingly panicked.
What should she do!
If Viola wakes up, won't she suspect her?
With this anxious feeling, Rachel returned to the university.
Just as she was about to reach the door of the dormitory, someone called out to her.
"Rachel Barton?"
The person who stopped Rachel was a fourth-year senior.
"That's me." Rachel turned around.
The senior handed Rachel an envelope, "This is a letter your friend asked me to give you."
"Thank you." Rachel took the envelope.
After returning to the dormitory, Rachel opened the envelope and found a yellow pill wrapped in letter paper inside.
Just as she discovered this, her phone rang.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Rachel took out her phone. It was a call from Hikari.
"Hello."
"Tonight at 10:30, Sawyer Thompson will go to the pet hospital with Mary Perryne. You take advantage of this time to go to the hospital and feed the yellow pill in the envelope to Viola Thompson," Hikari's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"But..."
Before Rachel could finish her sentence, Hikari continued, "Don't worry, I will arrange everything. At 11 o'clock, I'll have someone cut off the hospital's surveillance system on time."
"Okay." Rachel squinted.
Some things, once they're started, there's no fear in doing them again.
Just like Rachel Barton now.
Night fell.
The inpatient department was calm.
Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne originally were keeping vigil in Viola Thompson's ward, but because they had to go to the pet hospital to pick up their bread and Mantou, the ward was left empty.
The atmosphere was calm.
Calm to the point that only the ticking of the clock could be heard.
Rachel held her breath and quietly opened the door of the ward.
There lay Viola Thompson on the bed, eyes tightly closed.
After closing the door, she walked to the bed and looked at the prostrate Viola Thompson, her eyes filled with hostility, "Viola Thompson, don't blame me. This is all your deserved punishment. Why were you born as the Young Miss Thompson Family? Why do the good things always happen to you? What about me? I am a clown in your presence! A clown who means nothing to you..."
"Ha ha..."
Saying that, Rachel opened Viola's mouth, and was about to stuff the pill inside, but at that moment, Viola, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. She grabbed Rachel's hand with strength sufficient to control her.
"Vio, Viola?"
Rachel looked at Viola, her eyes filled with fear, she didn't expect that Viola would wake up at that moment.
