?Chapter 208:


    Alice’s gaze was icy. “Norah, they deserve to meet their miserable ends.”


    “Yeah,” Norah replied. Her tone was gentle, yet it carried an unmistakable edge of vengeance.


    “How do you wish for them to die?” Norah straightened herself up, fixing Alice with a determined look. “Mercy has never been in my nature. You know that.”


    “Finger,” Alice’s voice was a whisper, heavy with contemtion before she finally spoke the single word. “Have faith in me. By tomorrow, I’ll deliver what’s promised to you.”


    Norah wore a sinister smile as her eyes narrowed. “They’ll endure the utmost agony before their end.”


    Alice closed her eyes, offering no further response, her expression as vacant as a doll devoid of life.


    After administering a glucose shot to Alice, Norah exited the room.


    Approaching the nurse’s station, Norah demanded, “Retrieve the surveince footage from the hallway at noon. I need to review it.”


    The nurse, maintaining a courteous demeanor, replied, “I’m afraid that’s not possible. Hospital policy restricts surveince ess to staff members only.”


    Norah, growing impatient, retorted, “Today at noon, several individuals entered my friend’s ward and assaulted her. That footage is crucial evidence.”


    The nurse’sposure began to falter. “Please, let’s not jump to conclusions. Our hospital prides itself on security. It’s highly unlikely for outsiders to gain entry and harm our patients.”


    The nurse recalled that after her lunch break, a group of men had indeed passed by the desk. Could they have been the assants?


    “I’ll say it again. The surveince video will serve as evidence. I will approach the director directly if you fail to show it to me.”


    “Norah, please,” the nurse pleaded, looking at Norah with wide, panicked eyes. “Ma’am, let’s not jump to conclusions. Surely, we’ve misunderstood the situation.”


    “You’re calling my friend’s injuries a misunderstanding?” Norah’s voice was firm, her frustration mounting. “For the third time, I demand you show the surveince video.”


    Norah was prepared to hack the hospital’s surveince system from an inte cafe if the nurse refused her request.


    “Y-you… that’s against the rules,” the nurse stammered. “Alright… a moment, please. I will retrieve it for you.”


    As Norah turned to leave, the nurse called out to her and reluctantly disyed the surveince footage from noon. The video revealed men, their arms adorned with conspicuous tattoos, staggering as they walked. They entered Alice’s ward and remained inside for nearly five minutes before leaving the hospital with an air of defiance.


    Due to privacy regtions, the ward had no cameras, leaving Norah to scrutinize the hallway footage repeatedly to catch the features of the men.


    Much to her surprise, one of the men struck her as oddly familiar.


    The nurse’s legs shook as she watched the footage. Competing for the chance to serve around the VIP wards wasmon among the staff, and she had considered herself fortunate to be assigned here today.


    Earlier that day, a woman with a broken arm had rushed out, crying and screaming.


    By noon, a group of intimidating men had arrived and harmed a patient, leaving the nurse fearing for her career. “You…” she stammered, her voice quivering, unable to meet Norah’s stern gaze. The admiration she had felt for Norah in the morning had transformed into fear.


    Concerned about being perceived as negligent, the nurse feared Norah might report her.


    Before the nurse could attempt to defend her actions, Norah stood up firmly. “Should I return to find my friend in distress once more, trust me, you cannot bear the consequences.”
