Chapter 131 - Martin Was Drugged

Ch- 130 

Eleanor saw her brother's body was connected with many wires and other things. She has to say that there was more equipment around him than in his previous hospital. She felt confused about it. She looked at Myna with a confused look. Myna showed the way out to her. They returned to her office again.

"Eleanor, did you remember when Martin was shifted here the doctor said it would take a day to get the results for the tests?" Myna asked Eleanor. Edward was silently walking behind them all the time. Eleanor nodded at them. 

"That day I spoke with the chief doctor. He said he found a few things that he found in his body that made him sleep longer. That was one of the reasons for me to retract my decision not to join this hospital. 

"In the previous hospital, I took care of him. I followed the senior doctor's prescription and took care of him well. Even though his well-nourished body glowed brightly, it felt like his internal organs were damaged. 

"After he mentioned these things. I took Cedric's offer and requested that I shall be informed of everything. But…. we came to know that someone injected a zolpidem drug being injected into his system from time to time at regular intervals. That made him go into a vegetative state," Myna said. 

"What? But you are the one who took care of him all those months?" Eleanor said. 

"Indeed, but remember I don't stay with him 24/7. And you admitted him to the VVIP ward. A nurse isn't allowed inside the award. She is allowed only when they need to give food. And even if a nurse is allowed it means there is a doctor with them. When there is no doctor, she won't even get to enter the ward. It only means… only the senior doctor can enter. In that case… someone did this intentionally." Myna said. 

Eleanor doesn't know what to say. Edward was stunned at the new revealings. First, it was his accident, then drugged and went into a vegetative state. Was it a plot? Who is behind this?

There was a mystery behind this accident. 

"So what do we have to do now?" she asked. 

"We are pumping out the drug out of his body. It's just that… this drug makes the brain sleep by making its activity slower. Even if he wakes up there is no guarantee he would remember everything. Also… his body organs are working properly… in the future when he wakes his response might be slow," Myna said. 

"Oh," Eleanor responded. She was too shocked to respond. 

"This is not any rare drug. But the saturation levels of this drug make the drug dangerous. Along with its saturation levels, its amount and how frequently it is injected affect the human. And here… from the reports it shows that he was given this drug frequently as for how much amount and what is its saturation level is still unknown. It may take further research. 

"One thing I am sure is… he will wake up soon. We just have to hope and pray to God that he shall be normal," Myna said. 

Eleanor nodded. 

There was silence in the room. Ten minutes passed, and Myna still didn't disturb Eleanor. 

Edward can see the grieving sister behind Eleanor's perfect mask. And he could see a grieving self of Myna behind her strong mask. She was trying her best to cover herself. 

"How are you?" Eleanor asked even without raising her head. 

Edward was shocked to see this side of Eleanor again. She was surprising him these days. 

"I am fine," Myna said. 

Eleanor raised her head, "Mr. Callan, I hope we will get some space," she said to him. Edward nodded his head, and he left the room. 

"I know… you are putting a strong front. I don't know how to comfort you or my father. Don't tell these things to dad. Just tell him there is a moment in his body," Eleanor said. 

"I know," Myna said with a weak smile. 

"Let's leave after you have your breakfast and coffee. I guess the coffee turned cold," Eleanor said as she got up from her seat and picked breakfast from her desk. 

"Aunty got me breakfast. I already ate it," Myna said. 

"Then, we shall finish it together. We shouldn't waste the food, right?" Eleanor said. 

Myna shook his head and sat down. Eleanor opened the door to show that nothing was going and the doctor can take patients. Edward, who was waiting outside, saw that the door was opened and was about to enter. He was shocked to see these two women eating food while laughing. 

[Does anybody eat food when they are sad? Why do these women act like rare species?] he couldn't help but think. He was speechless; he had no words. He wanted to go there and ask them whether they have any affection for him but he couldn't. Feeling frustrated he walked outside. 

Eleanor and Myna finished their food. When they came outside, Esme the nurse, who sold out Myna to Eleanor, informed her that the Lab chief had arrived. Myna went to the lab chief. The lab chief asked her to follow him to the lab to collect her bag. But she failed to notice that Edward was taking a phone call on that side. He could see her and even hear her jokes with the Young Lab chief. 

"I never knew a woman could forget a bag," the Lab chief jokes. 

"What do you know? I was dead busy. After spending two consecutive days in the lab, I forgot about it. On the third day, I had surgery and had no time to take care of it. You know the life of a doctor. Why do you ask as if it's a new thing?" Myna asked. 

"Hm… you know…" the lab chief said. Myna looked at him with a wide gaze. 

"You are cute. The cutest doctor I have ever met," he said. Edward raised his brows at the lab chief's words. 

"Aww… shall I take that as you are flirting with me?" Myna asked. 

"Hmm… maybe instead you could take it as my confession," the Lab chief said.

"Charlie," Myna called out. Even Edward was waiting for her answer. She wasn't that easy who would relent to anyone. He wondered what reason she would give to him. 

"I am already into someone," Myna said directly without beating around the bush. 

"I am sorry. I don't know that you are taken," he said. 

"Even I don't know I am taken," Myna said. 

"I didn't get you," he said. 

"It's unrequited love," she said. 

"He already has someone?" he asked. 

"No… it's just that… he treats me like a sister," she said with a laugh. 

"Isn't it a good thing? You will have more chances to be with him," Charlie said.

"The sister thing sucks. We can move the heart of a stone-hearted person or the person who hates me or even the person who wants to kill me. But the one who treats us like a sister is the most terrible and tough to crack. 

"Even though I know he doesn't like me or loves me back… I can love him till the end. As for other men, they don't have a place in my heart," Myna said and left without looking for Charlie. 

"She is such a vicious woman. She doesn't give a chance to others and even to herself," Charlie muttered. 

Edward felt surprised at her words. Doesn't have a place for others. Hmm… he rubbed his chin as he remembered her words. She was surprising him. 

Edward failed to realize that he was liking Myna and let his grudges go right after he got to know she wasn't dangerous. Maybe he would take time to accept it. 

Myna saw Eleanor was still sitting in her office. "Shall we leave?" Myna asked. 

Eleanor nodded her head and started walking with her. They both exited the hospital leaving Edward behind. Edward was quite speechless. They didn't even bid goodbye to him. He couldn't help but curse them for being heartless. But he knew that they had no reason to say bye to him after what he did to him. With a sigh… he walked to his car. He didn't go to his company but to the Emerson groups. He needs to have a real talk with his friend and discuss many things with him. 

He started his car and directly drove to Emerson groups. Parking his car, he directly went inside the office. No one dared to stop him after all they got used to seeing him in the company. Also, who doesn't know the friendship between the Emerson and Callan groups? 

Edward directly went to his office. Without even knocking he entered Cedric's cabin and settled himself on Cedric's couch. 

"I had lunch plans with Eleanor.. Why do you want to come here and delay me?" Cedric said in an irritated voice.
