“I can treat you, but the pain you have to endure may be countless times more painful than what you’re experiencing now.”
It was not that easy to get Jack to stand up.
He had been taking hallucinogens for a long time, and many parts of his body had become necrotic. There should be poison in his bones.
“Reattaching the spine is only the first step, but this is already very painful. The subsequent steps are a hundred times more painful than this. We need to cut open your skin and flesh to remove some toxins,” Guo Miao said.
“Are you talking about scraping the bones to heal the injuries?” Jack frowned.
Wasn’t this a legendary treatment? Could Guo Miao also know such a treatment?
“Last time, I heard that this treatment was done by Master Crane. You are indeed his disciple,” Jack said, “I can endure any pain, as long as I can stand up again and get rid of my reliance on hallucinogens.”
The long-term use of hallucinogens had long destroyed his nervous system, making him neurotic every day. It did not give him the inspiration he originally wanted.
Guo Miao looked at Jack and nodded. “Then, you should get ready. I’ll perform your first operation in five days, but you’ll need to go to Haicheng for the operation after that.”
“What?” Jack’s eyes widened in surprise.
“The recovery period for the first surgery is three months. After three months, you will be able to stand,” Guo Miao said.
Tong Pei and Jack jumped in shock.
“Three months?”
Even if he sprained his ankle, he would still need to rest for ten days to half a month. Guo Miao’s medical skills must be superb to be able to restore his ability to stand in such a short period of time.
“Are you lying to me?” Jack asked.
Guo Miao shook her head. “I don’t have to lie to you, but I’m just treating your illness. As for the hallucinogens, you have to bear the consequences.”
Jack lowered his eyes. “I’ll make a statement later to admit to this matter, but give me some time. I need to settle down…”
“Mr. Jack, I don’t mean for you to apologize for this. You should know the consequences you have to bear, but that’s not what I meant. The process of getting rid of the hallucinogens and removing the toxins in your body is very painful. You need to be mentally prepared,” said Guo Miao.
The sound of cutting open the flesh and using a knife to scrape away the poison made one’s scalp tingle.
Jack nodded. “I can persist.”
“Then, how much do you need?” Jack asked.
Back then, when Master Crane treated the mayor of Fog City, it cost a total of 80 million yuan. Guo Miao’s treatment would cost even more.
“I need you to do me a favor. I don’t need money,” Guo Miao said.
“What is it?” Jack was a little curious. The price he could afford was definitely higher than 80 million, but Guo Miao actually gave up the high price and asked him for a favor instead.
“Help me investigate a drug with serial number 1105,” Guo Miao said slowly.
Jack frowned. “1105?”
There were only numbers, no origin, and no other evidence. How could they investigate?
“It’s a drug disguised as a depression drug. I’m afraid it’s also a hallucinogen.” Guo Miao frowned. She didn’t know much about this drug. “It’s processed into a black capsule. It should be a product of Neverland Island.”
Jack frowned.
It came from Neverland, and there were only simple numbers in the serial number. The level of this hallucinogen was very high, and it was impossible to get it casually.
“How did you know about this?” Jack asked.
“A friend of mine passed away because of this,” Guo Miao said slowly.
Tong Pei also frowned. He had never heard Guo Miao mention this before.
“If there are only numbers, then it should be a hallucinogen that can only be used by the highest authority of Neverland. But the management in Neverland is very chaotic now,” Jack said. “Because of the betrayal of the Stuttgarts, I’m afraid it will take some time to investigate.”
“Betrayal?” Guo Miao was a little confused. All the information she could find now only connected the Orsola family to Neverland Island. She had never heard of the Stuttgart family..
