Chapter 1424 Come To Nothing
Small puffs of air escaped Lillian''s lips. With cold and determined eyes, she was in full focus as she
tightly gripped the syringe in her hand. The needle glittered under the bright light as she pressed it
against Sheryl''s skin.
But just as she was about to pierce Sheryl''s arm, the door burst open with a loud bang. Lillian''s body
shook with surprise.
Both the nurse and the patient immediately turned to look at the door. Lillian''s face was drained of
color, evidently guilty while Sheryl was startled and wondered what was happening.
Lillian abruptly stopped what she was doing and stared at the woman who suddenly broke in like a
hurricane, only to find out that it was one of her colleagues, Cassie.
"Stop whatever you''re doing! Stay right where you are!" Cassie shouted, and then sighed in relief for
getting there in time.
She rushed to Lillian, took the syringe away, and then went in front of Sheryl''s bed to protect her. Her
eyes shot a fierce re at Lillian and waited for a response.
It was all so fast and unexpected that Lillian felt an overwhelming pressure wash over her. She tried her
best to contain her panic, as she knew that Cassie also worked in the hospital. Cassie was known for
her calm demeanor to everyone around her, whether they were colleagues or patients.
However, the girl stared at Lillian with such zing eyes, aside from her irrational shouting a moment
ago. What made this nice youngdy like that? The more Lillian thought about it, the more desperate
she got. Her heart increasingly hammered in her ribcage like a drum, as if it was about to explode any
second now.
Beads of cold sweat started to form on her skin. However, she forced herself to find an excuse so
Cassie could leave her and Sheryl alone.
Then again, she wasn''t really a person who did things like this. Her mind was nk and she couldn''t
even form aplete sentence. "I...I''m just doing my job. Can''t you see? I was just about to put a drip
on my patient!" she stammered.
"A drip?
May I ask if the attending doctor allowed you to do so? I believe Sheryl''s well enough, and the doctor
has told her to await getting discharged. So, what were you really up to?" Cassie said aggressively.

There was a tense silence as Cassie angrily stared at Lillian without batting an eye.
Lillian was taken aback. She averted her eyes and didn''t dare look straight back at Cassie. Even her
lips had gone pale and dry.
"You know nothing. It''s just some nutrition liquid and it''s good for her!" she said after a while of
hesitation.
If Cassie hadn''t found out how they schemed in the locker room or heard her conversation with the
doctor in the office, she might have thought twice.
She tried her best to stop Lillian from hurting other people, even if they were aplete stranger. That
was just how Cassie was, and even more so when it came to her best friend Sheryl.
Cassie was such a great friend. She had kept her mind clear even amidst such a mess. She quickly hid
the syringe behind her back and kept it as evidence of Lillian''s dirty trick. "Listen to me, Sher. As long
as I''m here, I won''t let her get close to you. She''s got some dirty trick up her sleeve. I''ve got the
evidence right here in my hands!" she said to Sheryl while she looked at Lillian.
Although Sheryl was totally in the dark about what happened, she chose to trust Cassie. Not only
because they were close, but she herself had also noticed how weird this other nurse was.
On the other hand, Lillian waspletely broken when Cassie had taken away the syringe from her.
She knew that her n was now in vain, and the life she had longed for had vanished like bubbles. She
subconsciously cast Cassie a pleading look.
She stepped closer to Cassie, hoping to get the syringe back. Even if she couldn''t get it, it would be
better if it was destroyed right there. If so, they would get nothing on her and she would have a chance
to get out of this mess.
However, Cassie had seen through her ns before she even got close enough. Her hands gripped it
more tightly and was on full alert. She stared at Lillian like a lioness guarding her cubs. She wouldn''t
allow anything to happen no matter what.
Meanwhile, Sheryl had gotten up from the bed and stood beside Cassie ready to pounce on Lillian if it
was needed. Tears threatened to fall down Lillian''s eyes when she saw that her hopes were slim to
none. She was alone against two people. She forcefully gritted her teeth in desperation that her lips
almost bled.
If they had reported what she had done to the hospital, she was doomed.
She would lose her job and probably be sent to the police. Just like that, her long-time dream would be
gone. Just then, a crazy idea struck her, and in the next second, she rushed to Cassie like mad.
Sheryl immediately came to Cassie''s aid, and stopped Lillian from getting close. But Lillian didn''t give
up, she struggled to shove Sheryl away and stretched her arms to reach Cassie.
Cassie and Sheryl had never seen such a woman. Cassie was secretly frightened and stood rooted on
the spot, unable to control her own feet.
When Sheryl sensed that Lillian was going to get rid of Cassie, she hurriedly shot her best friend a
knowing nce so she could leave, but Cassie didn''t catch her.
"Cassie, run! Get out of here! Find someone to help us!" Sheryl yelled. After that, she turned back and
focused her strength and attention to deal with Lillian.
"Okay, Sher!"
Cassie was shook from her reverie and responded like she just woke up from a dream. Then, she ran
past the two and dashed to the door. Suddenly, she stopped just as she was about to get out. "No,
Sher! I need to stay here with you!" she turned around and shouted.
If she went out of the room, Sheryl would be left alone to face that woman. Besides, Lillian''s target was
Sheryl, so Lillian would do her best to knock Sheryl down. Cassie quickly ran back to them. She
couldn''t leave Sheryl in such danger--life was the most important, after all.
Right at that moment, Cassie spotted one of their colleagues, who also happened to be her close
friend, passed by. Without a second thought, she shouted, "Wait a moment! Here! Do me a favor!
Please take this to Doctor Liu''s office and tell him to send it to the testing department! I believe there''s
something dangerous inside!"
She trusted her friend very much. On the other hand, her friend caught the syringe Cassie had thrown
at her and turned around without a word. She knew that something urgent must''ve happened.
Otherwise, Cassie would never be so upset.
What Cassie had done left Lillian hopeless. She stopped struggling and stood still. Cassie and Sheryl
also stopped. They simply looked at her and wondered what she would do next.
When Lillian heard the footsteps recede and then disappear, she knew that she was doomed. Only one
thing shed in her mind: run!
She suddenly pushed Sheryl aside and ran to the exit as fast as she could. Both Sheryl and Cassie
didn''t expect that, and they hesitated for a moment before they ran after her.
But it was toote. Lillian was nowhere to be found.
They both looked at each other, and hugged each other tight. They felt lucky that they survived such a
disaster. Later on, they walked to the doctor''s office hand in hand to see what he had found.
"Doctor, the syringe my colleague has handed to you contains something Lillian added by herself. It
might be lethal. Please have it tested!" Cassie asked impatiently.
It was really fortunate that Cassie had gotten there in time. She would never forgive herself if
something bad happened to Sheryl right under her watch.
