Guo Miao walked to Jack’s side and lifted his shirt.
Because of the long period of paralysis, Jack’s muscles seemed to have atrophied, and he was terrifyingly thin. Just by looking at his riddled body, one could almost see his bones.
The bones were like knives growing out of his body. In the next second, they would pierce through his skin and make him bleed.
Tong Pei stood behind Guo Miao and watched silently.
Jack was a good friend of his before. In his impression, this man was always high-spirited. If it weren’t for that accident, Jack wouldn’t have fallen into this state.
“Mr. Jack, you might be able to stand up again and walk.” Guo Miao looked at Jack’s condition and said slowly, “But dancing, fitness, and running are probably impossible.”
After hearing Guo Miao’s words, Catherine’s eyes lit up. “As long as he can stand up again, that’s enough. As long as he can return to the set, his dream will come true.”
Hearing his wife’s words, tears welled up in Jack’s eyes.
All these years, almost all the doctors had sentenced him to death. They either said that he would never stand up again, or that even if he stood up, he would not be able to walk and could not continue his original job as a director.
Guo Miao was the first to say otherwise.
“I hope Master Immortal Crane’s disciple won’t disappoint me,” Jack said.
“However, before the treatment, I have something to ask you,” Guo Miao spoke slowly, her voice calm. “You must be hiding something from us. Was it really because of the car accident that your spine had problems?”
Hearing this, Tong Pei’s expression changed, and he looked at Jack.
Catherine was also stunned and did not speak.
For a moment, the air fell silent.
Guo Miao didn’t mind the silence.
The injuries on Jack’s body were not caused by the impact. The impact would not have caused the bones to shatter to that extent. It should have been caused by someone using a specific weapon.
In addition to this, that person should have also poisoned Jack. This poison was very special and could slowly cause a person’s muscles to shrink. However, if the person who ingested the poison experienced a situation such as a collision injury, it would accelerate the process of muscle contraction.
Therefore, in just a few years, Jack’s health had deteriorated to such an extent.
It was Jack who broke the silence. “This is our family secret, Miss Guo Miao. If your treatment requires this, I’m sorry I can’t reveal it.”
“That drug should be a hallucinogen. You wanted to use the hallucinogen to increase your inspiration. The person who gave you the hallucinogen should be your brother or someone you trusted very much. You didn’t expect him to lie to you,” Guo Miao said slowly.
This hallucinogen was a drug. If Jack’s drug abuse was exposed, then the secret of the Orsola family would be exposed.
“No, my family has never done such illegal things!” Jack’s entire body trembled as he spoke. “Don’t slander me.”
“For a Chinese medicine practitioner, identifying all kinds of medicines is a compulsory course. You’d better not hide it from me.” Guo Miao’s voice turned cold.
“Catherine, chase her out. No, leave her here and send her to Neverland!” Jack roared loudly.
Tong Pei stood up and shielded Guo Miao behind him when he heard the words ‘Neverland’.
Neverland was a small island in the Blue Ocean, very close to Fog City. It was shrouded in fog all year round, and all kinds of rare plants and medicinal herbs grew there. The Osora family’s pharmaceutical factory was built there.
The enemies of the Orsola family who had disappeared for no reason were also captured and sent to Neverland Island. Once they were sent there, they would only be treated as lab rats for testing medicine and die after being tortured.
Many enemies of the Orsola family had died there.
Guo Miao didn’t panic. She just looked at Jack’s angry expression.
“Tong Pei, why are you protecting this little girl? You have to know that you’re going against the Orsolas!”
“Guo Miao is an honored guest of our Tong family. She can also be considered a member of our family. If you think Guo Miao is going against you, then the entire Tong family is going against you,” Tong Pei said word for word..
