Chapter 39 After the doctor examined Mrs. Hardy , he found that other than her fever , there was nothing else wrong with her . So , he arranged for her to receive an intravenous drip on a bed in the ward . He also prescribed a few boxes of cold and cough medication for her . When Larissa returned from the pharmacy , Mrs. Hardy was still unconscious . The nurse told her to remove the wet clothes from the woman's body to prevent her condition from exacerbating . Larissa felt a wave of repulsion from the bottom of her heart . She tried to call Travis , but his phone was still turned off . Then , she tried to contact Andrew , but he was unreachable despite her multiple attempts . She even suspected that Andrew had already blocked her number . As for Mr. Hardy - she never even saved his number in the first place . Helplessly , Larissa slipped a hundred dollar note to the nurse tending to the next bed and had her change Mrs. Hardy's clothes for her . The three bags of IV fluids ordered by the doctor had been administered for almost two hours now . Consequently , Larissa had sat by Mrs. Hardy's bed for almost two hours as well . Mrs. Hardy started waking up gradually when the nurse came by to draw some blood . As soon as she saw Larissa , she pushed away the nurse violently , completely disregarding the needle still stuck on her arm . She threw herself onto Larissa and grabbed her frantically . The nurse stumbled back two steps before accidentally knocking into the bedside table of the neighboring bed . It shook violently before the thermos on the table fell and was smashed to bits . Not only that , the hot water from the thermos had even splashed all over the nurse . The ward was immediately sent into disarray . The patient from the neighboring bed quickly pressed the call button . Another nurse walked in , surveyed the situation , and frowned . " What happened ? " The nurse who'd been scalded earlier informed the new nurse , " Please call in more people to clean up this mess , oh , and the patient from bed 2's needle is dislodged . Could you please help her deal with it ?" She rushed out of the ward after that . Chapter 99 The patient from bed 2 was none other than Mrs. Hardy . Larissa dropped her gaze as soon as she heard the nurse's words . The needle that had previously been on the back of her right palm was indeed dislodged . Bright red blood was trickling through the entrance wound , but Mrs. Hardy seemed to barely notice it . The woman held onto Larissa , her grip tight . The veins on the back of her hand bulged , and the speed of the blood flowing out of her wound increased as well . The nurse was just about to help her tamp the bleeding when Mrs. Hardy ducked away . " Don't you dare touch me ! " she growled ferociously . The nurse was taken aback . She pursed her lips in disgust and left after leaving a cotton ball behind . " Press this on her wound later , " she instructed Larissa . Larissa squeezed the cotton ball in her palms . Before she could make a move , Mrs. Hardy started to climb out of the bed . She put on her rubber shoes quickly and dragged Larissa toward the door . " Travis is awake ! He's been asking for you since the moment he opened his eyes ! You need to go see him ! You must ! " She gritted her teeth as she spoke , her voice still weak and hoarse from her illness . Without her realizing it , her blood had dripped onto Larissa's hands , and Larissa felt another surge of disgust and repulsion rise within her , her scalp tingling . She put in a little more force and withdrew her hand successfully . Mrs. Hardy's fever had not yet subsided , so she was not as strong as usual . She immediately turned around frantically to find Larissa when her fingers closed around nothing but air . " I'm not going , " Larissa told her coldly . " But you have to ! " Mrs. Hardy tried to grab her again . Larissa dodged . Mrs. Hardy's waist accidentally bumped against the end of her bed and tears streamed down her face in pain . Taking this opportunity , Larissa quickened her pace toward the door . Just as she reached the door , however , a scream pierced the air .
