Chapter 439

 439:
Jolted from her thoughts, Linsey stumbled backward, and her body collided painfully against the cold, hard edge of the hospital bed. A sharp sting shot through her leg, but there was no time to dwell on it.
Pushing past the pain, she rushed after them, desperate to understand what was happening.
Amid the chaos, Gorman was wheeled into the emergency room. Outside, Danny lingered, his face filled with anxiety as he stared at the sealed doors.
Suddenly, he spun toward her, his eyes blazing with accusation.
“It’s you! You’re the one who harmed Mr. Green!” Danny stormed toward her, his fury barely contained.
Had they not been within the hospital walls, he might have acted on his impulse and strangled her right then and there.
Gorman had always treated her with kindness. Yet this was how she repaid him? With betrayal?
Linsey stood frozen, paralyzed by helplessness.
Yes, she had administered the medication, but the reaction had been completely unexpected. She never meant for this to happen.
Linsey began, but Danny cut her off, his glare sharp and unyielding.
“Enough! I don’t need your fake remorse! I’m not Mr. Green, and I won’t fall for your act. Save your excuses for when he wakes up!”
His words silenced Linsey.
The hours that followed were agonizing. She stood alongside Danny, waiting for any word from the emergency room.
With each passing moment, her anxiety deepened. She needed answers, and she needed them fast.

She never meant to hurt Gorman. But until he regained consciousness, no one would believe her.
The wait felt endless. Then, at last, the light above the emergency room door flickered off.
The doors swung open, and the doctor stepped out with a grim expression.
“How could you be so careless with a patient’s care? How did you allow someone with bad intentions to apply poison to Mr. Green’s wounds?”
“Poison?” Danny’s eyes widened in shock.
Linsey stiffened. “That’s impossible! I used the same medicine as before when I changed Gorman’s bandages!”
The doctor’s frown deepened. “We ran tests. His wounds were treated with poison. If he hadn’t gotten medical attention in time, he wouldn’t have survived.”
Danny’s face burned with fury. He jabbed a finger at Linsey and shouted, “It was you! I always knew you were spiteful! How could Mr. Green ever care about someone like you?”
Panic shot through Linsey. She shook her head, her hands flying up in protest.
“No, it wasn’t me! I had no reason to hurt Gorman! I ran out of medicine, so I went to the pharmacy for more. A nurse gave it to me!”
Before Danny could retaliate, a nurse stormed over.
“How dare you throw false accusations at our staff? Every medication in our pharmacy is strictly regulated. There’s no way any of it was poisoned. You’re just trying to cover up your own mistake!”
