Set Up
“Ms. Lane, it’s true. If you have doubts, you can get other organizations to check again!”
The moment those words were out, the deceased’s husband yelled at Nicole, “Great! Turns out that it
was fake medications that caused my wife’s death! Ms. Lane, no wonder you have been so kind to
offer free consultations for the patients. You have been using poor-quality medications! You have no
respect for human lives! Purchasing inferior drugs must have cost you minimal funds. Maybe they cost
you nothing at all. Yet, you have earned such a wonderful reputation as a kind doctor. This is indeed a
smart move of yours! How ‘kind’ of you!”
His words caused an uproar among the other patients.
“Fake medications? How could that be? Why would Ms. Lane purchase fake medications?”
“That’s right. Ms. Lane isn’t this kind of person. She has always been a caring and concerned doctor.
How is this possible?”
“Her care and concern is just a ploy to gain a name for herself! If she hasn’t been nice to all of you, will
all of you have defended her? Will all of you have come to Bernian Hospital? You are here because of
her good reputation, right?”
“Um…”
“But Ms. Lane is indeed a skillful doctor. She has cured many patients!”
“Cured? All of you are too naive. These fully recovered patients could have been arranged by her. You
will never know. Furthermore, she has utilized fake medications for patients. Perhaps their recovery
was only temporary. Once they have been discharged, they could have dropped dead afterward!”
“You slanderer! The patients that I have cured left the hospital in good health. None of them have died
after being discharged.”
“Ms. Lane, there’s no need to get emotional. It’s fine if you refuse to admit it. Your usage of fake drugs
has caused my wife’s death. Why don’t we check the medicine in your storage to see if you have given
other patients fake medications as well?”
“Check for fake medications? W-Will it turn out to be real?”
“Stop talking nonsense. We believe Ms. Lane. She will never purchase fake medications.”
“But if it’s true, then everyone will be in danger…”
The fervent discussion started again.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Lane? Are you afraid of something?”
Nicole eyed the arrogant man who had just lost his wife, and she recalled the incident where the
deceased had been poisoned. An unimaginable thought crossed her mind.
Could it be that this man has caused his wife’s death, and he’s trying to frame it on me instead? He
must have something to do with the fake medications!
Looking at his haughty and confident expression when he wanted the medication storage to be
examined, she was pretty sure he must have done something.
Looks like this person is targeting me and finding fault with Bernian Hospital on purpose!
“I think we should seal the medication room for the time being. No one is allowed to enter!”
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid to get caught? Feeling guilty?”
“No. Before we verify the authenticity of the medicine in the storage room, I want the entire storage
room to be scanned for fingerprints like how it is done at a crime scene. Other than the people in
charge of the medicine storage room, I want to find out who else has been inside. For all we know,
someone may have gone in and tampered with the medicine in order to frame Bernian Hospital!”
At that juncture, Nicole stared at the man before her and asked, “I am particularly curious. How did your
wife get poisoned? Did you do that to her so that you could use this opportunity to find fault with my
hospital and set us up with fake medications?”
“Exactly. What would a healthy person be poisoned out of the blue?”
“I find it strange as well. Logically, if his wife has just passed away, he should be very upset. But look at
him. There is barely an ounce of sadness on his face. It’s as if a stranger has just died. As for him, he’s
behaving like a mad dog.”
