Chapter 232: The Fourth Element

The nurse's face paled even more when she saw the blood backflowing into the IV tube. Her hands trembled as she rushed to remove the IV from Gu Jin's arm.

The moment the needle was pulled out, Gu Jin felt an instant relief from the pressure, her eyes fixed on the nurse who was terrified.

"Thank you," Gu Jin said

Liang Bao, still panting from her frantic efforts, stood by the door,

"Jin, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was this bad. The staff here... they're acting so strangely."

The nurse, still shaking, hastily cleaned the wound and applied a bandage to Gu Jin's arm. Once she finished, she whispered under her breath,

"Please... don't hurt me... I didn't mean any harm... I was just following orders."

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow. "Orders? What orders?" she asked.

The nurse looked around nervously, glancing toward the door as if expecting someone to walk in at any moment.
