Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law-Chapter 236: See

"Who are you? What are you trying to give him?"

The woman flinched and instinctively brought her hand to her face, quickly pulling a mask over her mouth as she shook from the sudden interruption from the man who had just entered the room.

But then, almost just as quickly, she straightened her posture and replied in a sharp, dismissive tone, "The patient is asleep. There’s no need for this ruckus and loud voice.. I’m simply adding the prescribed medication to his IV line, as required."

"What medication? I don’t see anything listed on his chart that needs to be administered right now. Let me take a look." Patrick said as he walked forward slowly.

"Of course it’s not on the chart," the nurse snapped, her voice rising slightly. "The doctor just examined him and gave fresh instructions."

But Patrick shook his head and answered, "I was with the doctor just now, When exactly did he give this order? Because I didn’t hear anything about it."

The woman narrowed her eyes. "Why are you asking so many questions? It’s not like I take pleasure in giving out medicines. I’m just doing my job, following orders, and now you’re standing in my way."

She paused, then added coldly, "If this patient ends up suffering because you delayed his treatment, it’ll be on your head. You’ll be the one responsible."

Patrick’s eyes narrowed as he stepped closer to the bed, putting himself between the woman and the IV stand. He didn’t raise his voice, but his words carried an unmistakable edge. "You still haven’t told me what the medication is. What are you trying to inject? As long as you tell me what it is and who prescribed it, I won’t stop you."

The nurse clutched the small vial in her gloved hand, her fingers tight around it. "Step aside. I don’t have to answer to you. You’re just interfering without any authority."

Patrick pointed towards the bed. "That’s my father. I have every right to question what’s being given to him. You’re not giving him anything until I know exactly what it is, who prescribed it, and when."

"I told you already," she snapped. "The doctor gave the order verbally. Do you expect him to report every instruction to you like a child needing permission? If we had to do that for every patient, we would never be able to work. Now step aside please. I have other patients to see."

Patrick reached out and held her wrist, just enough to stop her from moving closer to the IV port. "You’re not injecting anything into him without clarification. Not one drop."

Her eyes blazed. "Let go of me! You’re assaulting a medical professional!"

"You haven’t even shown any ID and you are not wearing a badge", he shot back. "What department are you from? Who cleared you for this floor? I’ve never seen you before."

"I don’t need to answer to you!" she shouted now, her composure slipping. "This is about patient care. You’re the one risking his life with your paranoia!"

"Patient care doesn’t involve sneaking in drugs not listed on the chart," Patrick said. "Last warning. Put it down."

Without another word, she yanked her arm free and lunged toward the IV line again, trying to push the needle into the port. Patrick grabbed her arm, this time with more force, pulling her hand away and shoving her back a few steps.

"Are you insane?" he barked.

The woman let out a guttural scream and suddenly threw the metal tray at him. Patrick dodged just in time and the tray clattered against the floor, scattering empty syringes and an unopened alcohol wipe packet.

In an instant, she rushed at him, arms swinging. Patrick caught one of her wrists mid-air, but she scratched at his face with her free hand, nails grazing his cheek.

He winced and tried to restrain her, but she was moving wildly, desperate to get past him, screaming incoherently now. "You’re killing him! Let me go! LET ME GO!"

"Security!" Patrick shouted toward the hallway. "I need security in here now!"

She kicked at his leg, trying to throw him off balance, but he held firm. She struggled more violently, her mask slipping down, revealing a clenched jaw and bloodshot eyes as he tried to hold on, his own strength slipping.

Just then, two security officers burst into the room. One of them immediately grabbed the woman from behind, locking her arms in place, while the other moved between her and Patrick.

"Stand down!" the first guard ordered.

"She was trying to inject something into the IV line without any written orders," Patrick said quickly, catching his breath as he almost fell down to the floor. "She’s not a real nurse. Check her ID. She fought me when I tried to stop her."

The woman kept thrashing, trying to break free from the officer’s grip. "You idiots! He’s going to die if I don’t—"

"Enough," the second officer snapped. He grabbed the vial from where it had fallen on the floor. "We’ll let the pharmacy and lab check this. You’re done here."

The first officer pulled her arms tighter behind her back. "Turn around. You’re being detained."

"Get off me! I was only doing what I was told!" she screamed, but her voice had lost its earlier authority. Now she sounded cornered and desperate.

As they restrained her and cuffed her wrists, Patrick stepped back and looked at Sir Collins lying unconscious in the bed. The IV line was still untouched, the port clean. No medication had been pushed through.

He exhaled slowly, eyes fixed on the vial now being placed in an evidence bag by one of the officers.

"Who is she? Does she work here?" He asked slowly.

The guards shook their heads as one said, "I don’t know. But she doesn’t seem to belong. I’ll check with staff records. She might have stolen that uniform. Don’t worry. We will give you a proper explanation.

"We’ll handle it," the guard added, "But you might want to talk to hospital administration regarding her entrance into the VIP ward. There’s something off about this. We’ll also contact the attending physician as well. And have someone sent up to take a look at your injury."

Patrick nodded, rubbing the side of his face where she had scratched him. It stung, but he barely noticed it now as he breathed a sigh of relief.
