Chapter 59 Dianaâs pov âAt first, I didnât actually know anything about Gummy Skull. I had never contacted with this drug before. I was just an ordinary patient who came to the hospital to see a doctor. I was hospitalized for a period of time due to gastroenteritis, but an accident happened just as I was about to be discharged...â
The patient was lost in memories, with a painful expression on his face.
âMy body suddenly had various strange problems. My hair, skin, nails, and consciousness... I found that my consciousness was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. I seemed to be extremely eager for something, but I didnât know. what it was.
someone way, if I didnât get it, I would be painful! I even wanted to kill someone else, kill myself! Until... he appeared.â
The patientâs gaze gradually shifted from fear to blatant hatred.
âWho is he â?â I asked again.
The patient took a deep breath.
âHe is my attending physician, Claud.â
I was stunned for a moment after not hearing this name for a long time.
But I was not surprised that âheâ was Claud.
It seemed that Avia was not the first patient to be hurt by Claud.
Ven a caring uns navn un.
But I was not surprised that âheâ was Claud.
It seemed that Avia was not the first patient to be hurt by Claud..
âClaude didnât tell me the truth at first, only that I had a strange illness. He said he could treat me and prescribed a medicine for me. He was a top doctor in this hospital, so I trusted him. After taking his medicine, my symptoms did improve. But soon after, I started to get sick again! This time, I finally found out what I wanted, the kind of medicine Claude prescribed for me. I went to find him, and I told him to give me that medicine! But... but this time, he was no longer as kind as before... heâs a devil!â
The patient cursed angrily, âHe no longer concealed it from me. He told me that the medicine I was taking was a drug called Gummy Skull! He could give it to me, but he demanded that I pay ten times more for it! At first, I... I wanted to try to quit this drug. I couldnât afford its high cost. But... it was so painful. I couldnât help it! I sold my house, all my assets, and even cut ties with my wife and children. I was trying to raise money to get medicine from him...

The patient trembled violently, tears winding down his miserable face tormented by illness.
âGradually, I learned that there were many patients in this hospital who were in the same situation as me. We were all forced to take Gummy Skull without our knowledge, and then went to great lengths to buy medicine from Claud to alleviate the pain. This situation persisted until we learned Claudâs death. We completely lost. access to this medicine, allowing the pain to erupt. Claud did not allow us to tell anyone about this. He said if we dared to speak up, he would stop the medication. And... and if others knew about us, they would definitely kill us because...because our blood and saliva would become infectious! So... thatâs why I dare not...â
âThatâs why you dare not tell me. Thatâs why youâre so afraid of me and want to run away, right?â
That patient nodded.
I clenched my fist and felt my nails almost embedded in my palm.
For a moment, I wished I could rush into the grave, dig out Claudâs body, dismember it, and smash it.
âDiana, let go.â
Urgent voices rushed into my ears. I saw Nathan grabbing my hand and forcefully opening my fingers.
âClaud is already dead. Itâs of no use hating him anymore. The most important thing now is to find out the person behind him.â
Nathanâs words brought my rationality back and I gradually calmed down.
I looked at the patient and said, âWas Claud the only person you took medicine from? Do you know anything else?â
With so many patients, I didnât believe Claud could handle all of them alone.
âNo, itâs not.â
Sure enough, the patient shook his head.
âClaud had another helper, a female nurse named Gina. When Claud was not around, we asked her tor medicine. As for others... I donât know.â
Gina...
I silently recited the name, and a young face came to mind.
I knew this Gina. She has been following Claud all the time and even helped him slander me before.
âIâll leave this to you,â I said to Nathan, turning around and walking towards the door.
âAre you going to find that nurse? Iâm going with you.â Nathan immediately followed.
I stopped and turned to look at him.
âWhat about that patient?â
Just as I finished asking, two loud voices suddenly came from the door-
âLuna, we will take good care of him.â
My forehead twitched twice and I stared at them, âIâm not your Lu....
âLetâs go.â Nathan interrupted me, extending his arm and embracing my waist as he walked out. âArenât you going to find that nurse? Donât waste time here. They will take care of him.â
âNathan, did you do it on purpose? You...â
âWatch where youâre going. Be careful.â
Gina was called to my office.
She shrunk her neck and dared not look at me, which was completely different from the arrogant attitude when Claud was still there.
I looked at her and lightly tapped on the desk in the office.
âDo you know why Iâm asking you here?â I asked slowly.
Gina suddenly shuddered.
Immediately afterwards, she suddenly knelt down to the ground.
âI was wrong, director! I was really wrong! I shouldnât have slandered you with Claud. Please let me go!â
I raised an eyebrow.
I had no intention of looking into her previous offense, otherwise I wouldnât have kept her in the hospital to this day.
But this was a good opening statement.
âOkay,â I said lightly, âBut I have a few questions to ask you.â
âAs you please! Iâll tell you everything I know!â
I smiled slightly and said, âSince thatâs the case, letâs talk about Gummy Skull.â
In an instant, Ginaâs face changed.
Her courage was even smaller than that patient. After a while, she explained everything.
It turned out that Claud had always been collecting drugs from a bar called âThe Enchantmentâ.
The person who connected with Claud was the owner of the bar.
Or more precisely, he was also Claudâs boss.
Claud once reminded Gina that if one day he died, she would continue with the matter of Gummy Skull, and all the money earned would be hers.
But Gina was too scared, so she didnât go to that bar, which caused everyone to get sick.
âI donât have a good temper.â After Gina explained everything, I said to her, âIf you still want to live peacefully in Blade Moon Pack, forget about Gummy Skull and what happened in the office today. Donât let anyone know. Otherwise, I donât mind letting you feel how we treat those prisoners in the dungeon.
âI... I know! I swear to the Moon Goddess that I will never reveal it. Otherwise, I will be infected with this virus and die in pain!â
âNow get out,â I said coldly.
Gina immediately crawled out of the office.
âDiana, youâre too kind. The best way to keep this secret is to kill her,â Nathan looked at me disapprovingly.
âAlpah Nathan, do you think everyone is the same as you? Disdainful of a life?â
âWhy should I care about people who have nothing to do with me?â Nathan sneered coldly.
I couldnât help but smirked, âFor sure the great Alpha Nathan wonât care about lives.â
He abruptly changed the topic and said, âSince you learned that Gummy Skull was spread to the hospital from a bar, what do you plan to do next?â
âI...â
âYou probably wonât let your brother surround the bar and arrest them. After all, youâre not sure if the boss of The Enhancement is the real mastermind. Doing so will only let them be vigilant.â
So...â
âSo, if I get it right, youâre planning to use this nurseâs identity to infiltrate The Enchantment and investigate.â
I rolled my eyes.
âSince you know all of this, why are you asking me?â
Nathan smiled.
After a few seconds of silence, he said, âIâll go with you.â
I refused without hesitation.
âAre you kidding? Do you know how dangerous it is? Your injury hasnât healed yet, so you must not âItâs because of the danger that I canât let you go alone. Also, donât forget our deal. I handed over that patient to you for interrogation, and you agreed for me to participate in the investigation.â
I couldnât deny it.
âWhatever,â I said, turning my back to him.
But Nathan grabbed my wrist and led me out.
âWhat are you doing?â I asked.
âDidnât you say you wanted to disguise yourself as that nurse?â Nathan raised an eyebrow. âYou canât dress like this. It has nothing to do with a poor nurse. Letâs go and change you.â
