Chapter 85: Eddie Loved Medicine
With Kelvin, her outstanding ex-husband in the picture, how could someone like Emmanuel ever catch Cheyenne’s attention?
Nora grew angrier as she walked beside Emmanuel with her arms crossed. A hint of hostility emanated from her entire being.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel was lost in thought with a gloomy expression on his handsome face. “That’s it for today. To win over this kind of woman, you need to gradually delve into the depths of her heart.”
“You sound like you understand it all too well,” Nora sneered.
Emmanuel ignored her sarcasm and focused on figuring out how to hook up with Cheyenne next time.
The two left the room, leaving behind a peaceful atmosphere in the hospital ward.

Eddie brought dinner for Cheyenne – simple corn rib soup and a plate of pineapple lychee pork – which she enjoyed heartily. Her cheeks puffed up as she ate.
Eddie was still wearing the white coat with fresh red stains on it. He pulled over a chair and sat by her bedside. After staying up all night last night, he seemed a bit exhausted now. His tall and slender figure leaned back in the chair, supporting his perfect chin with one hand. His gaze held a hint of fondness as he looked at her. Seeing her enjoy the food so much, he even started feeling hungry himself.
Cheyenne lifted her head, still unaware of the gleam in his eyes, and asked softly, “Eddie, have you eaten yet?”
“I was planning not to eat today as I had no appetite. Just this morning, I performed a dissection surgery on a dead person who was killed by a car.”
Eddie suddenly started talking earnestly.
She suddenly felt strange, her movements of picking up food paused for a moment, and she slowly chewed the food in her mouth.
However, Eddie was a medical enthusiast. Whenever he talked about something that interested him, he couldn’t stop himself and continued to chat with his lips slightly parted.
“This is truly a great miracle, Cheyenne, do you know? He died in a car accident, and the car explosion burned his skin into charcoal, emitting a nauseating smell.”
“And there were steel bars from the car that went through his chest, creating a hole in his chest the size of a ping pong ball, bleeding profusely.”
Eddie extended his hand and gestured the size of a ping pong ball.
A vivid description of the size of this ping pong ball was given, and then he continued.
“By the time the blood flowed out, it had turned a dark purple. I initially thought that this person had bled excessively from a freshly pierced heart.”
“Turns out, I opened up his skull, and his brain matter had turned into a watery substance that flowed out, emitting a foul odor.”
“I can basically conclude that he didn’t die from blood loss. As for why his brain turned out like that, I don’t know. So, I’ve temporarily stored his head in the refrigeration room…”
He was talking to himself and completely unaware that Cheyenne had already put down her cutlery.
And she also put the meat that she had bitten into aside.
She looked at him with a depressed expression. “Eddie, I think you better not say it.”
She was enjoying her meal, and suddenly her mental imagery shifted drastically, flashing images of white brain matter emitting a foul smell.
How could she eat like this! But she was really hungry.
Eddie finally stopped and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.
Gently and shyly, he apologized to her, “Cheyenne, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not good or…”
“No, it’s because I’m full.”
“Alright, in that case, I’ll continue then. Later, when I took the head out of the cold storage room, I made a new discovery…”
The beautiful woman stared at him in shock, blinked her eyes and spoke weakly.
“Oh, you discovered something new?”
The “desire for knowledge” on Cheyenne’s face made Eddie even more interested, and he thought she was a good student.
“Yes, I’ve realized that his death wasn’t ordinary. Cheyenne, do you remember the tube of blood you gave me last time? I’ve been studying it these past few days and haven’t made any progress.”
“However, during this surgery, I discovered a clue. There was a toxin in the blood that could cause paralysis – Datura stramonium.”
Upon hearing this, Cheyenne shuddered and all her emotions were stirred up. Excitedly, she asked, “What did you just say? Is there news?”
Seeing her so happy, Eddie felt that his hard work these days was not in vain.
“Mhm, I didn’t expect to make this discovery when I received this case last night. Residues of Atropa belladonna were also found in the deceased’s brain tissue.”
