Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 667

The OB-GYN team moved fast. When Liam carried Ariel into the operating room and got her settled, he noticed the needle still stuck in her arm.

Pressing a cotton swab against it, he withdrew the syringe. Most of the liquid was still inside and not fully administered. That was probably what had caused Ariel's problem.
