The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 203

The atmosphere in the room is frozen. The nurse is discerning. She points at the remote on the bedside cabinet, “Miss Morrison, the TV remote is here. If you feel bored, you can watch TV. And if there is something, please call me.”

Worrying about the situation at home, Nina Morrison says, “Thanks, I feel better now. Can I leave the hospital now?”

The nurse shakes her head, “You are poisoned by knockout drops, and you need to be observed closely for 24 hours before discharge from the hospital.”

The nurse thinks that Nina Morrison is worrying about the expensive hospitalization expenses, so she adds, “Don’t worry, Miss Morrison. All the hospitalization expenses have been pre-paid by that gentleman.”

Nina Morrison bites her lips. Now, she owes Lucien Gray a favor.

After the nurse leaves, Nina Morrison lies down for a while. She feels bored and turns on the TV.

As soon as she changes the channel to local news, a few words catches her attention.

On the screen, the female anchor is broadcasting, “Last night, a citizen in Bamboo Apartment was poisoned by knockout drops and fainted. The suspect was intended to break into the house and murder. The suspect used a modified injector and injected vaporous knockout drops through the door. The police also found the dagger, silent pistol and other weapons from the suspect. The case is complicated and confusing. The police preliminary believe that it is revenge murder. The case is currently under further trail. The victim was rescued by her friend in time and is now out of danger...”

Next is citizen interview. While Nina Morrison is watching intently, a nursing worker comes in with an vacuum bottle, “Room 202, time for lunch.”

Seeing Nina Morrison staring at the TV, the nursing worker purses her lips, “Another publicity stunt. If this victim didn’t have a powerful boyfriend, the police wouldn’t work so hard on this case. There are countless wrongful convictions which have no clues. For this knockout drops case, they just catch the suspect in no time. That’s because the big shot behind called the police chief many times and ordered that they must investigate this case strictly.”

The nursing worker finishes talking. She looks at Nina Morrison’s bed and suddenly realizes something. She smiles embarrassingly, “I'm just kidding. Don’t take it to heart. Such revenge murderers should be cut into pieces!”

Nina Morrison smiles. The nursing worker finally recognizes that she is the victim on the news...
