When the man dressed as a nurse left, he accidentally collided with Richard, who was just about to enter Daniel’s room. The expression of the man dressed as a nurse looked ordinary with no tension, so it did not arouse any suspicion in Richard.
However, as soon as Richard stepped into Daniel’s room, his eyes were immediately drawn to Daniel’s convulsing body and the irregularly beating heart rate monitor. A wave of panic immediately hit Richard’s heart when he saw Daniel’s unnatural condition. Without hesitation, he immediately took quick action by calling the medical team to help Daniel.
Meanwhile, Emily had just returned from the bathroom and was surprised to see several panicked-looking medical teams entering Daniel’s room. With a pounding heart, her steps quickly made her way to Daniel’s room, where worry and confusion mingled in her mind.
“What happened?” Emily asked Richard, her voice filled with worry and confusion.
“I’m sorry, but please come out first,” said one nurse gently, directing Emily and Richard to leave the room. Although reluctantly, both of them complied with the instruction, leaving Daniel’s room with a growing sense of anxiety.
As the door to Daniel’s room slammed shut, fear and anxiety crept into Emily’s heart. Tears fell from her eyes, reflecting her deep concern over Daniel’s fate.
Richard, meanwhile, was reminded of the man who had collided with him earlier. Suspicion crept into his mind when he noticed the unnatural state of Daniel and the nurse who left the room before his arrival.
“Emily, is it okay if I leave you for a while?” asked Richard in a soft voice.
Emily nodded slowly, her lips trembling and her reddened eyes filled with unstoppable tears. The look on her face reflected deep despair and anxiety.
“I’m sorry. I won’t be long,” Richard said before leaving Emily.
After leaving Emily for a moment, Richard decided to check the CCTV footage at the hospital. With steady steps, he headed to the CCTV surveillance center to look for evidence that might corroborate his suspicions. After going through various recordings, Richard found the truth that shook his heart.
In the CCTV footage, the man dressed as a nurse was the last person to enter Daniel’s room before the critical situation occurred. Richard’s gaze harbored an increasingly strong sense of suspicion towards the man.

“I successfully injected the drug into Daniel,” the man dressed as a nurse said in a low voice, giving Robert a report of his success.
“Good job. Well, I’ll give you the money immediately when we meet tomorrow,” Robert’s cold voice came from the other end of the line, expressionless.
With a sly smile on his face, Robert continued, “If Daniel dies, I will become the CEO and all the shares he owns will go to me.” his voice filled with a sense of triumph.

Meanwhile, Fred, who had just arrived, was surprised to see his daughter waiting in front of Daniel’s room, crying bitterly.
“What’s wrong, Em? What happened?” asked Fred, his voice full of worry.
Emily looked up and her gaze met her father’s, who was looking at her sympathetically. “Dad,” called Emily as she hugged her father tightly.
“What happened to Daniel?” asked Fred again, trying to understand the situation that made his daughter so sad.
Meanwhile, Richard returned after checking the CCTV footage at the hospital. He saw a confused-looking Fred, asking for an explanation of the situation. Emily was still waiting anxiously in front of the waiting room while Fred spoke to Richard.
“What happened?” asked Fred, his expression reflecting deep confusion.
“It looks like someone is intent on harming Mr. Daniel,” Richard replied seriously, clarifying the situation at hand.
“What?” Fred looked surprised as he heard Richard’s explanation, his face reflecting confusion and worry.
Richard told Fred everything that had happened, explaining every detail that had happened before.
“Please don’t tell Emily about this. I don’t want her to worry more, especially because of her pregnancy,” Fred pleaded in a worried tone, begging for this situation, and Richard just nodded in response.
After a long wait, the doctor and his team left the room.
A worried Emily immediately asked about Daniel’s condition. “Doctor, how is my husband?” she asked in a voice full of worry.
The doctor looked at Emily with a serious expression and replied, “His heart rate stabilized after the initial medical intervention, but we still need to conduct a series of tests and more detailed monitoring to find out the exact cause of his seizures.”
Although relieved to hear the news that Daniel’s heart rate had stabilized, a deep concern still haunted Emily. The anxiety and uncertainty about Daniel’s condition made her restless.
“Let me take care of him tonight. You should go home,” Richard said, offering help and support to Emily.
“Em, calm yourself down at home first. Remember, don’t get too overwhelmed by stress,” Fred said while trying to persuade Emily.
“All right. But let me see him first,” Emily replied.
With careful steps, Emily entered Daniel’s room. Daniel’s heartbeat was still monitored on the monitor, while a sad expression was on Emily’s face. Gently, she kissed Daniel’s forehead. “Please, wake up quickly. Don’t let me wait for you too long.”
After Emily left, Richard entered the same room. “It looks like someone is trying to harm you. I will collect evidence and give it to the police. Recover soon, sir,” Richard said firmly.

The next day, Robert’s henchman was seen waiting for Robert in front of W Company. In the black car driven by Robert, he rolled down his window to call out to the man. “Come in.”
“Is he dead?” Robert asked.
“With that dose of medicine, there’s no way he could still be alive,” the man replied confidently.
Robert laughed widely, but his expression suddenly became serious as he gave the man a slap.
“What are you doing, huh? He’s still alive. Did you really inject the drug into him?” Robert demanded in a trembling voice.
“That’s impossible. He can’t possibly live anymore with such a high dose of that drug,” Robert’s henchman replied with conviction.
“But he’s still alive. I won’t pay you until you make sure that he won’t revive. Make sure you see him die before you leave his room. Do you understand?” said Robert.
“Alright, I understand,” the man replied before getting out of Robert’s car.
“Ahhh, damn it! Why is it so hard to end his life?” Robert shouted in frustration as he untied his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, feeling the anger rising in his chest.
After a few days had passed, Robert’s hired man was finally back in action. In his nurse’s uniform, he prepared to go back into Daniel’s room. At that time, he did not see Emily, but only Richard. After seeing Richard leave Daniel’s room, the man prepared to act.
With careful steps, Robert’s man paid attention to every corner of the room before entering Daniel’s room. When he was finally in the room, he again took out the syringe that had contained the previous drug. However, just as he was about to inject the drug, Daniel’s eyes suddenly opened, his gaze fixed on the man.
Immediately, the door to the room opened and in walked the police officer, the detective, and Richard, who had figured out the man’s evil plan.
“Don’t move!” the detective shouted sternly while showing his weapon.
The man, who was still shocked to realize Daniel’s improved state, now found himself in an increasingly difficult situation. Surrounded by police officers, detectives, and Richard, he felt trapped with no way out.
