Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 557:

Since Riss personally handled Caylee’s surgery, Benevolence Hospital provided her with exceptional care. Her room was monitored by nurses around the clock, attentive to even the slightest changes in her condition.

The nurse who usually attended to Caylee was not the same one responsible for her IVs and medication changes.

When Marissa visited her mother, she familiarized herself with all the nurses assigned to her care and could recognize each one. However, a video Marissa reviewed showed a nurse she didn’t recognize.

All the nurses wore identical uniforms of white coats, caps, and masks, making it difficult for most people to distinguish between them. But Marissa, with her extensive experience as the Chief Instructor at Doomsday Base, immediately noticed the irregularity.

The nurse in the video pushing a medicine cart wasn’t part of Caylee’s regular nursing team. Marissa’s eyes narrowed dangerously as she watched the footage. To the average viewer, this surveillance footage would appear completely normal.

The actions of the nurse pushing the medicine cart wouldn’t raise any suspicions. However, Marissa could instantly detect that something was off.

When this nurse entered the room, the nurse attending to Caylee at her bedside suddenly became motionless. The video quality was poor, and Marissa couldn’t see the motionless nurse’s eyes. If a third person had been present, they would have noticed that the nurse’s eyes looked blank, as though she was awake but unconscious.

This was because the nurse with the medicine cart had sprayed a mist-like drug into the room before entering, rendering the other nurse unconscious.

After incapacitating the nurse at Caylee’s bedside, the nurse with the medicine cart quickly injected an unknown substance into Caylee’s IV bag and then swiftly exited the room with the cart. Within half a minute, the nurse at Caylee’s bedside regained consciousness.

She glanced at the IV bag but, without suspecting anything was amiss, resumed her duties as though nothing had happened.

The nurse at Caylee’s bedside in the video, Tara Cobb, was now standing before Marissa. Marissa looked directly at Tara.

Tara appeared young and innocent, likely a recent medical school graduate. When Marissa met her gaze, Tara visibly tensed. “Miss Nash, do you think I tampered with Caylee’s medication?

I really didn’t. I have no issues with Caylee and no reason to harm her. Plus, I just finished college. Getting a job in such a prestigious hospital wasn’t easy, and I really value this opportunity.”

Marissa smiled reassuringly at Tara. “You don’t need to be nervous. I’m looking at you because you’re my mother’s nurse today. That’s all.”

Marissa didn’t suspect Tara. Based on the timestamp of the surveillance footage, Tara was the last nurse to attend to Caylee before the incident. Marissa simply wanted to check if Tara was acting normally now. Tara seemed to have recovered completely.

Marissa deduced that the nurse with the medicine cart had used a hallucinogenic agent in the room, and the dosage was minimal—enough to knock Tara out for just half a minute.

After reassuring Tara, Marissa returned her attention to the surveillance footage and reviewed it multiple times. Eventually, Marissa paused the video, turned to the head nurse, and asked, “Could you tell me who this person is?”

The head nurse studied the image closely before responding, “That’s Sarah Black. She was responsible for changing Caylee’s medication today.”

Marissa’s brow furrowed slightly. “I don’t recall her being a part of my mother’s care team.”

The head nurse explained, “She wasn’t before. However, we’ve been short-staffed these last few days, so she was reassigned to assist here.”

Marissa nodded in understanding. “Could you please call Sarah over? I need to speak with her.”

“Of course,” the head nurse said. She then signaled to a young nurse standing not far away and said, “Sarah, could you come here, please? Miss Nash has some questions for you.”
