The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1422

Cassie felt all of her hairs stand up as she thought about mice; just the thought of them was enough to cause her to panic. Mice were the creatures she was most scared of.

She was now aware of where she was, and if she ignored the mouse and walked away from the locker room, she was only going to panic each time she passed it or thought about the possibility of the mouse running around.

So she decided to deal with the mouse now, getting it over and done with.

She looked around to see if there was an appropriate tool for her to use. She smiled when she found a stick in a corner. She took the stick in her hands without a second thought and walked quietly to another locker room.

Before she could go inside, however, she felt another figure slipping in past her. It startled her so much that she nearly screamed, but since it wasn't her own locker room, she quickly hid herself in the darkness, not wanting to have any misunderstandings.

As the figure got closer, Cassie recognized that it was a colleague from another department. Lillian was her name.

They were only acquaintances. Cassie had never spoken more than greetings to her, so she didn't want to go and say hello. Not only that, but she didn't want to scare Lillian to death, so she continued hiding and waiting.

Lillian, however, didn't leave. Instead, she did something that sent Cassie into more panic than the mouse had; the mouse was just an inkling of a thought at this point. She'd almost forgotten about it.

She saw Lillian stop in front of one of the many lockers, open it, and take out a small box.

Whatever that was inside it must have been precious to her, since she held it with both hands in a awe-like trance.

Cassie's curiosity was aroused. She craned her neck to try and see the box's content, widening her eyes when she did, her curiosity doubling as her eyes locked on it.

It seemed to be the type of medical kit that they used at the hospital, but there were letters on the box that Cassie couldn't see. But as a nurse, she had worked with all the tools in the medical field all her life and could tell that it was some kind of injection kit. What would Lillian be doing with it? Cassie raised an eyebrow in puzzlement.

It was strictly prohibited by the hospital to bring in any medicine from outside. Which medicine to use and how to apply should strictly follow the prescription of relevant doctors. All the medicines should be fetched from the pharmacy and used on the same day. If there was any leftover, it should be either sent back or destroyed, to guarantee everyone's safety. Thus, it was a serious violation if anyone brought medicine from the outside world or took medicine out of the hospital for medical or recreational use.

Cassie wondered what her colleague was doing and whether it was medicine inside the box or something else.

Another figure entered the room, interrupting her thoughts.

She groaned and then held her breath, watching and listening.

"Lillian, here you are! This is the thing you need. Blend it into the injection as we discussed."

It was a man's voice. It was remarkably harsh, and Cassie was certain that she had never heard it before.

The man was wearing a casual suit and a baseball cap. Cassie was unable to see his face in the dim room, but she could make out the shadow of thick-rimmed glasses. It was someone she had never seen before.

By this point, Cassie had cooked up a theory about what was going on. There was a conspiracy theory going on, and she was sure. Firstly, Lillian was acting weird, and she had brought a stranger into the locker room. They were plotting about something, but what? Cassie wanted to know.

The man was whispering something into Lillian's ear.

Lillian stood against the wall, still and focused on the man's words.

"What? Are you serious?" Lillian sounded panicked, and her voice quivered a lot.
