Katelyn scoffed, her voice low and mocking. She pointed at Lise and declared, “If you want me to proceed with the treatment, then I have one more condition—”

“I want her to apologize to me,” Katelyn said, pointing at Lise, her voice laced with an edge of fierceness.

“Dr. Hades,” Lise retorted, “you’ve talked a lot about everything but your skills. Prove yourself, and you’ll get your apology.” She scoffed inwardly. Why should she apologize to someone who spent their time hiding behind a facade, like some trickster?

Katelyn met Lise’s gaze, her expression sharp and unyielding. Without a word, she reached into her pocket, drawing out a syringe.

With a swift, practiced motion, she flicked her wrist, and the needle drove into the wall with a quiet thud.

It was just an ordinary syringe, nothing special. But in her hands, it felt like a lethal weapon. The kind with a slim, silver needle. It was only meant to break the skin, but somehow, in her grip, it had torn right into the wall.

What was more, the needle had zipped by Lise’s neck, close enough to stir a small gust against her skin. A few strands of her hair floated down by her ear, sliced cleanly.

If it had veered just half an inch to the left, it would have lodged into her neck instead of the wall.

Lise’s pupils shrank, and her face went ashen. In that split second, she had felt death sweep past her.

Neil’s eyes widened in pure disbelief.

“How could an ordinary syringe turn deadly in this doctor’s hands?”

Even with her slender build, the power in her wrist was intense. Neil watched, doubting that even he could muster that kind of strength.

When Katelyn hurled the syringe, she hadn’t bothered to steady herself or aim; it was just a swift flick of her wrist. Yet, it left them both speechless. For a heartbeat, the air went still. All Lise could hear was the rapid thumping of her own heart.

Katelyn’s eyes locked on them, her face as hard as stone. She warned in an icy tone, “Say one more word and next time, the needle will find you.”

Lise swallowed, her throat tight, words failing her as her mind tried to catch up with what she’d just witnessed. “Could anyone really hold that kind of power?” she thought.

“When I treat Mrs. Wheeler later, you’ll see my skills up close. Until then, keep your comments to yourself,” Katelyn said, her voice calm but firm.

Her earlier display wasn’t just meant to silence them; it had shaken them to their core. The effect was more intense than she’d expected. Get full chapters from findnovel.net

“If it weren’t for Katelyn, I’d have left already, given your attitude,” she added.

Neil finally snapped out of it. He knew he’d have to rethink everything about the woman standing before him.

“Dr. Hades, I’m sorry for how we acted earlier. If you need anything during the treatment, please just say the word,” Neil offered, his tone softened.
