Somnus Serum
"I wouldn't want you all to doubt your skills." Ryder started, knowing well if he didn't clarify the issue, everyone would begin to doubt the doctors."You all are very skilled in your field of work, so it's not that you had a wrong diagnosis," Ryder continued, not forgetting to praise the doctors to raise their egos."As for the first person, his condition, even the most sophisticated machine wouldn't be able to discover the cause of the problem.""And for her, you all wouldn't have known the cause of her death and this is also true because no machine would know that she's still alive.Expect you to perform an autopsy, and that's not possible for a living person." Ryder explained walking up to the patient on the stretcher."Truly, she looked dead, and her body is already cold, but she's not dead." Ryder shook his head picking up the woman's hands."Then why is she like this?" One of the doctors inquired, looking at the body on the stretcher, then at Ryder."She has been injected with
Extracting Serum
"Phew!" Ryder sighed, breaking the deadly silence as he wiped away his sweat.Looking at the woman on the stretcher, there was a smile on his face as he looked at her left hand.This was his first time applying the knowledge the System gave to him, and even though it had been instilled into him like the back of his hands, he still had to be careful.So he had taken a whole lot of time to do. What he had done was just to seal up all the woman's acupoints preventing the flow of blood.He had only left out one place and that was her left hand. So after blocking it, the blood had nowhere to flow, and then the dilution of the Somnus Serum wouldn't happen again. The way the Somnus Serum worked was that it would only mix with blood if there was a constant flow. But since he had blocked it, they stopped and began to migrate slowly into the woman's left hand.So by the time he was done, the woman's hands had already changed to orange, and this scared everyone present.They looked at Ryder, wo
Where Did You Get That?
"Big brother!" An excited yell came just as Ryder stepped out of the hospital and before he could turn around, a hand wrap around him, and a body pressed on his tightly."Jasmine, how are you doing?" Ryder chuckled, turning around and disengaging from the hug, patting Jasmine's head."What are you doing here big brother?" Jasmine raised her head to look at Ryder and then at the hospital he had just walked out of."I came to visit my elder sister since I had nothing to do," Ryder replied."Let's go, I want to meet her too," Jasmine said excitedly, wanting to drag Ryder back into the hospital."Nah, you don't get to go back, I would introduce her to you another day." Jasper shook his head, pulling Jasmine when was about to walk back into the hospital."By the way, is your elder sister at home?" He questioned, changing the topic.He had the intention of going to their house, but since he had run into Jasmine, there was no need for him to go.Jasmine's answer was going to determine if he
Arrogant Henry
"And what's your business with that?" Ryder raised his brows hearing what the man said."Do you even know what that is?" The man frowned, stopped in his tracks, and questioned, noticing Ryder was not intimidated by his presence."Of course, I know what it is. Do you think I would bring it over if I don't know what it is?" Ryder countered, staring at the man with a frown."Then tell me, where did you get that?" The man growled, seemingly annoyed with Ryder's arrogance."None of your business." Ryder shrugged, refusing to tell him anything.What he hated the most were people who were conceited in themselves. If he had asked more nicely, he would have been willing to tell him, but at the moment, he didn't even want to see his face.Talk more or less tell him where he had gotten the Somnus Serum and how he had gotten it."How dare you!" The man immediately flew into a rage, seeing Ryder was not going to back down."Do you want to....""Henry, step back; he's also a police officer, so ther
Call Her
"Sorry for the wait," Selena's voice came as she stepped out of the Villa, looking over at Ryder who was waiting by one of the cars."Nah, it's fine. I wasn't in a hurry anyways." Ryder shrugged and looked over at Selena's shoulders to Henry who was following behind with a frown."I'm sorry Ryder, but we can't do this without him. This was one of the reasons he came to Orange County, and it wouldn't be appropriate if we don't involve him." Selena forced a smile, seeing Ryder's gaze."It's fine." Ryder shrugged, he didn't care in the first place, so why should he get worried."Let's go Ryder." Selena broke the silence, seeing the situation was tense, afraid another fight would break out.It had taken a great deal to convince Henry to work along with Ryder.Henry was not her junior, and they were pretty much on the same level, so she couldn't try to force him, nor was she willing to beg him; she should only try to convince him."Give me the keys, I'll drive," Ryder suggested, walking to
You Could Be The Culprit
"But what would I tell her?" Hannah seemed confused."Well, there are two chances." Ryder began."If the nurse knows about the serum, then I don't think it'll be easy to invite her over. But if she doesn't know, then it would be easier to invite her."There were many chances in what was happening, though for now, they didn't know how she had gotten her hands on such a dangerous substance, the first thing they wanted to do was to invite her over."What should I tell her? We can't be too sure she knows about it." Hannah spoke, looking over at the three."Just tell her that your mum is awake, and she's having a headache." Ryder chuckled lightly."Her reply would determine if she knows about the serum or not." He continued."Alright." Hannah nodded and proceeded to call the nurse.Selena, on the other hand, was a bit shocked. She couldn't believe Ryder was able to think of such a thing in a short time.If she was the one, she would have to brainstorm for a while so they would be able to f
Call The Nurse
"Is that the nurse calling?" Ryder questioned just as Hannah was about to answer the call."No, it's not. It's my cousin." Hannah replied, raising her head while her hands still went towards the green button to pick up the call."Wait a minute," Henry spoke at this moment right before Hannah could speak."What do you want?" She questioned. Though she sounded reluctant, she still didn't pick up the phone."That cousin of yours, does he know about your mother's condition?" Henry inquired."Yes." Hannah nodded, furrowing her brows."Don't even try to suggest that he might be a suspect; he'll never do such, "She quickly continued, defending her cousin.Selena narrowed her eyes and wanted to say something, but she thought against it.After all, Henry was sent by the Bureau to come take a look at what was happening which meant that he was capable.Though she knew him, she didn't know much about him, all she knew was that his rank was not higher than hers.Also, she wasn't familiar with him
Wrong House
A deep sigh of relief came from the other end of the phone immediately after Hannah picked up the call and greeted the person on the other end.Hearing the sigh of relief, Ryder and the others frowned and glanced at each otherWith the way the other party had acted, they were pretty sure that he was the one who had instructed the nurse to inject Hannah's mother with the Serum.Since they didn't have any evidence, they just kept it to themselves while wondering how he had gotten his hands on the Serum."Hannah, where did you keep your phone? I've been calling for the past five minutes, and you didn't pick up. I was beginning to get worried." The voice from the other end sounded, breaking the silence, pulling Henry and the others out of their thoughts."Sorry cousin, I was taking a bath, so I didn't know you called else I would have rushed to answer your call," Hannah explained."Sorry for making you worried." She apologized."Nah, it's fine, you don't have to." The voice replied."By t
She's Not Lying
"Huh?" Selena and Henry were stupefied seeing this and couldn't believe their eyes.They couldn't understand how Ryder had gotten to the door so fast. Wasn't he sitting right by their side just now?Though he was the closest to the door, there was still no way he could get to the door before the figure walked out.But the next moment, a low growl sounded, forcing Selena and Henry out of their thoughts. This time their eyes opened wide."How dare you block my path?" The figure sneered and attacked Ryder who was standing right in front.Ryder's lips curled into a smirk, and he raised his hands to block the blow from the other party.The figure frowned seeing this as she was not expecting Ryder's reaction time to match hers.In a sense, it was as if his reaction time was even greater than hers, which would prove to be a problem.But then, now was not the time to think, and instantly, she kicked Ryder again.All she wanted was for him to get away from the door, so she would be able to lea
A Deal
"What do you think you think you're saying?" Henry flew into a rage hearing this and turned to glare at Ryder."You just heard what I said. So there's no need for me to repeat myself." Ryder shrugged."How dare you? Do you want to go to prison with her? How dare you try to support her." Henry lost it and hollered."Selena, see what I was saying? If it's not because he's been bribed, do you think he would have supported her words?" Henry turned to Selena and complained."Henry, I think you should calm down," Selena muttered and turned toRyder who was still sitting on the sofa, not fazed by Henry's yell."A chance?" Henry snapped."What the heck are you thinking? He's right here supporting a criminal and yet you think that we should give him a chance?" He continued."I'd rather take action right now than let him be." "Ryder or whatever you are." Henry scoffed walking towards Ryder, a glint flashing in his eyes."You're under arrest." He continued, pulling out another handcuff from his
