Chapter 82: Mr. Zamora is Sly

Now that they had identified what type of snake had bitten him, everything else would be easier - they just needed to get him the corresponding antivenom as soon as possible.

During the infusion, a delicate nurse originally came to administer the injection to Mr. Foley. Eddie took off his gloves and approached voluntarily.

Taking the syringe and medicine, he smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Foley has an esteemed status. It's better to let me handle this."

The young nurse blushed and stepped back. Lacking the experience that Eddie possessed, she stood on the side and observed.

Eddie squinted, injecting the potion into the syringe. Only after that did he grasp Kelvin's arm and feel the veins.

As his large hand held the man's arm, his other hand exerted force. The sharp needle instantly pierced into his muscle.

"Apologies... Mr. Foley, it seems you were a bit tense, and I administered the wrong injection."

If this medicine were injected into the muscles, it could trigger a tumor. Therefore, Eddie hurriedly withdrew the needle, deliberately switching to a larger needle size.

"Mr. Zamora, this needle..." The young nurse's voice trailed off as she was unable to finish her sentence about the slightly larger needle.

Eddie gave her a gentle smile, as tender as the April breeze sweeping over the earth.

She blushed and stammered as she suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.

Chris stood at the doorway, his dark and deep-set eyes gazing at this young and promising doctor.

Just now, the director said that Dr. Zamora was someone who had studied abroad and returned, and had even become a professor at the national biomedical institute.

How was it possible to make such a fundamental mistake?

If even Chris was suspicious, how could Kelvin not have any feeling about it?

In fact, his sharp gaze was fixed on the man, while the latter had a faint smile and his gaze was gentle and harmless.

He was like a typical weak and scholarly person.

'Never mind, I won't bother with him,' Kelvin thought to himself.

After finishing his IV treatment, he glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was already after three in the afternoon. He had gone to visit the Todd family early that day and hadn't made it into work yet.

Dressed in his attire, he disappeared with his assistant by his side.

Meanwhile, Eddie slowly collected all of the medical waste while muttering under his breath. "Why does Cheyenne like him? He's so icy."

Later that evening, lights shone brightly throughout the Todd mansion, making it as bright as day. The European-style wallpaper featured natural floral patterns embossed upon them along with luxurious furniture reminiscent of Louis XV era decor.

Kai wore a black checkered bathrobe, revealing well-defined muscles across his chest and arms which exuded an aura of strength.

He sat under the light, thick reading glasses perched on his nose, engrossed in the documents in his hands.

Suddenly, a striking figure in a vibrant red silk slip dress entered the study.

Her hair fell in loose curls around her shoulders, and with an air of elegance, she walked up behind him.

Her delicate arms wound around Kai's sturdy neck, and she playfully nuzzled against him.

The scent of her perfume was intoxicating, a warm and inviting aroma that filled the air.

Kai found it impossible to focus on the papers before him any longer. With a swift motion, he grabbed her petite hand and pulled her into his embrace, locking eyes with hers.

She giggled sweetly, "Honey, what are you looking at?"

The man rubbed his throbbing temples and sighed helplessly. "What else? It's just something from this morning."

Miss Lawrence came to deliver medicine as a guest to Iker but ended up getting bitten by a snake at the Todd mansion. The Todds were clearly at fault in this matter, so Kai was trying to find a way to compensate Miss Lawrence.

Erica's eyes gleamed with malice when the incident from earlier that day was mentioned.

She deliberately blew hot air into his ear and said, "Honey, it's really strange how that snake managed to escape its box. Don't you think?"

"We already discussed this; it was because the servants weren't paying attention." Kai felt uneasy about continuing this conversation.

But Erica wasn't done yet; she had another shocking piece of news for him. "You probably don't know yet but yesterday Miss Lawrence caught one of the maids trying to poison Iker's food."

Kai slammed his hand on the table in anger; the loud noise caused even the lamp on top of it to shake violently. The light flickered dimly before returning back to normal.

In that momentary darkness, Erica's stunning face became obscured by shadows, making it difficult for him to see her clearly.

"What! That maid is so bold!" Kai growled through gritted teeth with fury evident in his expression.

"Honey, don't be angry. I don't know why the maid was so bold, but think about it, who benefits the most from the death of Iker?"

"Miss Lawrence, perhaps she offended some people and that's why she was targeted," she said sarcastically, almost pointing out that "some people" referred to Kai's second wife and second son.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows. He knew his little wife didn't get along with his second wife, but he had been married to Thalia for many years and knew her personality well. He didn't want Erica to get involved because her previous way of speaking wasn't as sharp as this.

In his memory, Erica was a crybaby and obedient little girl, which was why he loved her more than usual.

But that impression was based on her being young and innocent rather than backstabbing others behind their backs like now.

Kai's thoughts of making out with Erica were quickly extinguished.

He withdrew his hand and looked at Erica seriously, "I have something else to do. If you don't have anything else, then go check on our children."

Erica understood that she had likely angered him, so she held back any words left unsaid with a gentle smile on her face,"Okay then, honey, you should rest early too."

"Mm."

Feeling angry inside herself when returning to her bedroom, Erica sat at edge of bed while crossing arms over chest without noticing when the nanny brought in her child.

"What's wrong?" The nanny handed Master Lewis to Erica, her voice trembling. "Madam Erica, I don't know what happened, but Master Lewis suddenly developed a high fever and won't stop crying."

The child was over a year old and had some weight to him. Suddenly being handed over to Erica made the crying worse, causing her frustration.

"What's the point of crying? Does it solve anything?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"If the child has a fever, shouldn't you take him to the hospital? What good does it do for you to give him to me? I'm not a doctor!"

Erica angrily covered the child's mouth with her hand, which quieted his cries somewhat. But he was having trouble breathing and his face turned red.

Kai watched this scene with anger boiling inside of him.
