Then, with a soft rustle, the door opened.
A woman, dressed as a nurse and wearing a mask, entered carrying a small medical tray.
Lucinda glanced briefly at her uniform and then returned her focus to feeding Colby.
âI didnât ring for assistance.
What do you need?â
âMaâam, itâs time for the babyâs medication,â the nurse announced.
âFor his heart condition?â Lucinda inquired.
âYes,â the nurse confirmed.

Lucinda frowned.
âBut didnât the doctor mention yesterday that the milder medication was out of stock and that weâd need a few days to assess his condition before deciding on further treatment?â
âYes, that was the case,â the nurse replied, âbut weâve received the medication today from an overseas pharmacy.
Given that your son is a priority patient here, we acted immediately to administer it.
â
Lucinda eyed the nurse thoughtfully, a hint of suspicion in her demeanor.
After a moment, she nodded.
âPlease hand me the medicine.
â
The nurse approached Lucinda respectfully and placed the medicine box from the tray onto her table.
While holding the baby in one arm, Lucinda continued to feed the baby with the milk bottle.
With her other hand, she reached for the medicine box on the table.
The nurse stood by silently.
Before she touched the box, Lucinda felt that something was amiss.
âNo, it should be the attending physician who administers the medicine to my baby on the first day.
Even if the medicine is prepared, the physician must review the prescription and discuss it with me personally, rather than sending a nurse.
â
Suddenly, she turned her head and asked the nurse, âWhat are you here for?â
The nurseâs eyes showed clear malice.
As Lucinda turned to face her, the nurse swiftly pulled out an anesthesia needle hidden behind her and plunged it forcefully into Lucindaâs neck.
Since Lucinda was holding the baby, she found it challenging to defend herself with only one hand, while the nurse exploited her advantage of using both hands.
The needle sank into Lucindaâs neck.
She clenched her teeth and kicked the nurse forcefully.
The nurse stumbled back two steps, and fortunately, the anesthetic hadnât been injected yet.
A faint red mark appeared on Lucindaâs fair skin, with a trickle of blood emerging.
Her movements were so abrupt that little Colby in her arms became uncomfortable and started to cry.
At that moment, Lucinda didnât have time to soothe Colby.
She quickly placed him back in the crib and covered him with a gauze.
Then, she engaged in a struggle with the woman in the nurseâs uniform.
Lucinda was skilled in jujitsu, holding a black belt.
Without holding the baby, she quickly overpowered the nurse.
She pinned the woman down with an arm-lock against the table and asked in a stern voice, âWho sent you here? What have you done to the policemen outside?â
