Chương 233: Tense and Torn

Asher had been given seven days to act.

Adrian was brought to the hospital on the first day of the last month of the year. It is now the seventh day.

Feeling tense, Asher fiddles with the syringe in his hands.

He's now outside the hospital building - by the parking lot. Dylan had given him the formula to inject into Adrian's system. It will work like poison, and it will kill him in his sleep. He is to dispose of the vial properly so that it will look like he died on his own.

Asher had tried to tamper with the formula by getting some help from Gilmore. He tried to recreate a harmless version of it, but all his attempts were futile. The poison was created for the purpose of death. It can't be altered to save a life.

'Damn it!'

Asher clenches the syringe with his fist.
