Lenny's words on the piece of paper were:
"Force down all fifty plant pieces in my mouth. No matter what happens, do not stop, and do not give me anything else till I awake."
Mani read these words again and again.
By now, more than eighteen hours had passed, and it seemed there was no hope for Lenny.
And Ella, as she walked away, had already given the instructions for everything to be burned and disposed of.
Surprisingly, this included Lenny's body.
"WAIT!" Mani suddenly called out.
This action of hers surprised the medics there, and even Ella stopped.
Immediately, Mani rushed for Lenny.
She read the paper again and again. Then she turned to one of the medics.
"Did you add anything at all aside from the plants?"
The medic shook his head, "NO! Nothing else was given orally."
Those words caught Mani's attention.
