Female Novel
Chapter 1681
Sarah arrived swiftly, drawing blood samples with a frown creasing her forehead.Beck's heart skipped a beat, his lips pressed tightly together. "Doc, he's gonna be okay, right?"Sarah turned to the others in the room. "Who gave him the injection?"
Without hesitation, Beck had his men bring Queena in. With lan still unconscious, he dared not lay a finger on her, choosinginstead to keep her detained.
The local police station, where Rachel worked, was clamoring for Queena's return, insisting that a murder suspect should not betaken away so lightly.
Beck simply brushed off the policewoman's demands and had Queena brought to the hospital.At first glance, Sarah's pupils shrank.
"Doc, is there something off about her identity?"
“Everyone from the research base is brilliant, even by their standards," Sarah replied.
Beck's demeanor darkened. "What the hell is wrong with lan, then?"
Queena, under guard, let out a sly chuckle, her lips curling into a smirk.novelbin
Her expression was one of arrogance and contempt.
"So, Dr. Sarah, you are still alive and remember a nobody like me."
Sarah raised her hand, continuing her examination on lan. "He'll live, but the drug this woman fed him is problematic. The exactissue, only she knows."
The research facility was a haven for geniuses, capable of concocting any drug imaginable. Even after years spent there, Sarahwas unaware of the full scope of their pharmacopeia as research varied by sector.
“We'll have to wait until he wakes up to see the full reaction."
Relief washed over Beck, knowing Ian's life hung in the balance. But that relief was short-lived as Sarah added, "His brain hasbeen intentionally damaged. If he wakes up, he might have the IQ of a toddler. We'll see more once he regains consciousness.”
Atingle of dread crawled across Beck's scalp at the thought; better to keep this from Maja for now.Queena's laugh echoed again, her eyes lingering on lan with yearning.
But the man lay still, oblivious to her fervent affection.
She licked her lips, a triumphant tone in her voice. "You can't kill me. Without me, he won't survive."Beck's gaze sharpened. "What the hell did you poison him with?"
Queena was pale, clearly anemic, yet she bore no injuries. How could she be losing blood?
Arealization dawned on Sarah, her hand going to her temple. "I think | know. There was a drug developed at the facility. Thehigher-ups deemed it worthless and abandoned the research."
“What kind of drug?"
"It used human blood to create a substance akin to opium. Anyone fed this drug would quickly become addicted, with adependency a thousand times stronger than that of ordinary marijuana. In past trials, subjects would become so desperate fortheir blood fix that one even bit off his own tongue in withdrawal."
Sarah's face grew grim as she caught Queena’s smug, knowing look.
"The researchers used their ownblood, inducing agitation in thesubjects when deprived. The eSepied jeatswould th only eap6at warily tothe AN of the blood. This bloodalchemy project was halted because,with so many other drugs understudy, it was considered trivial. Itseems our guest here was part ofthat research team."
