Chapter 558 - Cause Of Death - Part 2 (2/2)
”What the heck!!” Ivy cursed out loud and rolled her eyes in dismay. ”We found nothing in this. What the heck did even happen? When did the woman consume aspirin for her to die moments after you two left the ward?”
Ian replayed the video again. But just like last time, he could not find anything substantial from it. Linda had not once moved her hands, let alone touch her lips for her to have consumed the aspirin pills orally. And no nurse or doctor had entered the ward to give her an infusion. So, they could not find out what had happened and how Linda had ended up dead.
”Ian, play the video from the time when Linda was being treated,” Aria commanded from the side, and Ian followed her orders without any objections. ”Look at the screen.”
Her voice compelled the three people to stare at the screen with a frown as they tried to identify what Aria was hinting at.
”Linda did not consume any pills since the time she entered this ward. The only injection she received was given to her by Stuart. Stuart, what did you ask the nurse to give her?” Stuart stared at himself on the computer screen in shock as he took the injection from the nurse and injected the drug inside Linda's body.
”I asked for an antibiotic since the patient's had her wrist slit. It was.....”
Stuart did not even have to continue when they heard him speak from the computer. ”Rocephin”
”I made sure that she was not allergic to it before I asked for it.”
”This is bad,” Ian commented as he stared at the video that was still playing on his computer. ”Stuart, there were no traces of Rocephin in Linda's body. All she had was aspirin.”
”What do you mean, Ian? Will Stuart be in trouble?” Ivy clenched her fists as she waited for Ian to deny her claims. But all she got was silence. ”But Stuart did nothing to Linda. We can clearly see that it was the nurse who gave the wrong medicine.”
”Since we did not even get close to Linda's bed, there is no way in hell the police can blame us for this matter.” Ian continued. ”But we cannot say the same about Stuart and the nurses who accompanied him. They did touch her and give her some drugs to stabilize her health when she was admitted, and the medicine they gave was exactly the one that triggered the reaction.”
”What are you trying to say, Ian? Please tell me Stuart will not be implicated in this.” Ivy almost begged, fearing the worst possible scenario.
”I am afraid to say that Stuart might be held responsible for Linda's death. Even though it was the nurse who gave him the wrong medicine, it was he who injected into her.”
”But how is it his fault? Didn't he ask for an antibiotic? We can hear it clearly in this video.” Ivy argued.
”Yes, Ivy. We can hear what they are speaking. But there are still chances of Stuart being held responsible for this. Ian, we will have to catch hold of the nurse to find out what happened.” Aria tried to comfort her sister and glanced at Stuart who stood frozen in his place.
Ian nodded curtly and placed a call to the reception, asking for the nurse who had assisted Stuart in the ward. But the response he got from the other side made him bang the receiver hard on his table.
”The nurse had submitted her resignation in the morning, and she left the hospital once she finished her shift.”
