Chapter 151
Chapter 151:
“Touch her and lose those hands.” Jaris stepped in front of me, stopping them from reaching me.
He sounded so threatening, using his Alpha authority. They stopped instantly, but their hateful glares didn’t.
One of the doctors came close. “Lyric. This way.” She gestured toward the path leading to the elevator.
My legs moved on their own. Right now, they could be leading me into a pit of fire and I wouldn’t even know or be able to help myself. I felt so numb. I didn’t even realize Jaris’ hand was on the small of my back. I couldn’t feel a thing.
We got into the elevator, went up to the next floor, and into her office. It didn’t take long before Guinevere and three other doctors joined us.
“What in Moon’s name happened, Lyric?” the woman before me asked. She was a superior in a different department, but all the same, she held a lot of power. “I was told those were your patients. They reacted to Thilax, which should not have been administered in the first place! What happened p>
My heart was racing too fast. There were so many judging eyes on me. Even Guinevere, who always admired me, now looked at me with anger. They were all so disappointed.
I looked at Jaris beside me. Gods, I wouldn’t know what to do if he wasn’t here right now. These people would have likely swallowed me whole.
“I didn’t give them…” I managed to say.
“What are you talking about? They’re your patients, Lyric. We found Thilax in their system p>
“No.” I shook my head. “It—it can’t be. I—I only injected them with Calmizol. That was all I did. I didn’t administer Thilax to them.” I heard their huffs as they looked at each other.
“Are you trying to lie to get yourself out of this situation, young lady?” the superior said in a strict tone.
“No! Why would I lie about this p>

“Because we never found Calmizol in their system. All we found was Thilax, which was wrongfully administered. It’s the reason they’re dead p>
What? My brows furrowed in confusion as tears leaked from my eyes.
Something was wrong.
“I didn’t do it,” I muttered, shaking my head as I stared down at the floor.
“Is it possible you picked the wrong bottle p>
“No!” This time I shouted. I was losing my mind. “I know what I took. It was Calmizol. I’ve used them long enough to know their differences. Plus, the label was clear enough. I couldn’t have made such a mistake p>
But it didn’t look like they believed me. They gave me those judging looks like I’d just committed mass murder.
And maybe I had. Four people were dead. I knew their names. Aaron, Jasper, Carys, Elena.
