Chapter 584



.

Although every step he took was terribly shaky and fraught with great difficulty, he had managed to stand up!

Countless beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Lily was helping him up on one side. “You’ve just recovered, you mustn’t overdo it. Lie back down after another two steps.”

“Heh, only weaklings wouldn’t be able to get up and walk immediately after recovering. Don’t forget that I was the third best fighter in the New York martial arts scene before I was injured!”

It was obvious that Quentin was so tired that even his voice had weakened, but the things he said were still as opinionated and competitive as before.

The corners of Lily’s lips spasmed. “Well, you’re the third best fighter in the world, okay? Still, you need to get more rest!”

“… I’m going to walk another round.”

Quentin, who refused to listen, kept moving. Then, he said, “You don’t know how tired I’ve been from lying in bed all this time!”

He looked at Lily, smiled and said, “Don’t be fooled by how trusting I was with Nora before this. To be honest, I didn’t trust her myself either. I was also worried at the time and wondered what I should do if you really couldn’t take it…”

This was a rare occasion when Lily was listening to him confess his true thoughts, so she didn’t interrupt him.

But unexpectedly, Quentin then said, “If that happened, the martial arts scene would have suffered too great a loss!”

Lily: “????”

Quentin didn’t notice Lily’s surprise at all. He went on about his business. “Now that I’ve recovered, I have to make the most of the time I have to rehabilitate. There are so many people waiting for me! I also have to continue my martial arts practice. One day, I will defeat N… I mean, Big Sister!”

She had almost exposed the fact that Nora was Big Sister again.

Lily: “…”

Lily was overcome with a feeling of resignation. She walked over to Quentin, sighed heavily, and said, “I’ve treated a lot of patients with Anti, but I really haven’t met anyone like you in my entire life!”

Quentin looked at her. Although he was as pale as a sheet, and the fine droplets on his forehead had condensed into beads of sweat trickling down his cheeks, his eyes were still lit up. “Someone as handsome and talented as me?”

“… No, someone as unfoundedly confident as you!”

While the two were arguing, Quentin had completed another round.

Outside the door, Johnson and Janson looked at each other.

Johnson asked in amazement, “Was he really paralyzed a few days ago?”

“Yes, he was.” Janson whispered, “I held and pressed his joints before the operation. They were all soft and broken….. Although they haven’t fully healed yet, they are on the mend.”

Janson’s eyes reddened with excitement. “Dr. Smith has already told me that it’s actually possible for my father to regain consciousness!”.

Johnson took a deep breath.

Suddenly he said, “Janson, have you really thought this through? Are you really going to let your father use the gene serum? It’s only been three days. What can you really see after only three days? What if there are sequelae? Also, is it really legal to use the gene serum? Have you ever thought about all this?”

Hearing what he said, Janson took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Uncle Johnson, I know you’re someone who takes rules and regulations very seriously, but this time, I’d like to fight for my father’s sake.”

He clenched his jaw and said, “When my father first left, I felt like I was dreaming. It was very unreal and all I wanted was to avenge him. But for the past three days, I’ve thought about it countless times. If there is any way to help Dad regain consciousness, I will try it without a second thought! Because he didn’t leave us a word before he died. If I can get him to wake up for a while, even if it’s just to say goodbye to us, my mother won’t be so sad anymore, will she?

Uncle Johnson, you’ll support me, won’t you?”

Johnson’s eyes twinkled and he said, “Why wouldn’t I? Even I couldn’t say goodbye properly to Terry, let alone you! It had all happened so fast that day.”

He sighed bitterly and said, “I was too excited then, too, and insisted on avenging him. If Morris hadn’t stopped me, I could have killed Karl on the spot!” Speaking of Karl, Janson became agitated. “Is Captain Ford still defending him?”

Janson had been taking care of Terry in the hospital for the past three days, so he hadn’t had time to confront Karl yet.

“Geez!” Johnson pretended to sigh. Then he said, “You’re on good terms with Mark, aren’t you? I heard he went to the interrogation room to beat up Karl and get back at you. But Captain Ford stopped him even before he could hit him. He even told him to reflect on his actions and write a report.”

“What?”

Janson clenched his fists angrily. “What exactly has Karl done to brainwash Captain Ford into defending him so much!”

Johnson nodded. “Exactly! Captain Ford has refused to take Karl to court. I really don’t know what he’s thinking. But poor Mark is still locked up right now.”

Janson became furious and indignant. “Captain Ford has really become an idiot! He’s never done this before. He’s really letting me down this time.”

After taking the opportunity to portray a bad image of Morris, Johnson said, “It would be better if Terry could wake up. Otherwise, we won’t be able to cement Karl’s accusations. Captain Ford will probably use the excuse of insufficient evidence to release him.”

Janson clenched his fists tightly.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from far away. The two turned and saw both Morris and Nora approaching.

Nora was accompanied by a large, tall man. Although he lagged a few steps behind, it was impossible to ignore him. It was none other than Justin.

Morris asked, “Janson, how’s your father?”

Janson scoffed, “Do you care how my father is doing, Captain Ford? Shouldn’t you be more concerned about Karl’s safety? Why don’t you stay by his side in the special department anymore?”

Hearing what she said, Morris fell silent.

Nora, however, narrowed her eyes. Her gaze swept over Johnson and Janson impatiently and asked, “So, do you want to treat your father’s illness now?”

Janson nodded immediately. “Yes!”

Although he didn’t like Nora either-after all, Nora and Karl got along very well-she was the only one who could treat his father now.

With the box in her hand, Nora walked past Janson and into the room where Terry was.

They all entered the room one by one.

Johnson, who was at the end of the line, glanced away from time to time.

Justin raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you waiting for someone, Captain Johnson?”

His comment caused everyone to look over.

Johnson immediately replied, “No, I’m not.”

Despite that, he became a little anxious. Why hadn’t the people from the inspection unit arrived yet?

His eyebrows furrowed and he followed the others into the room. Then, he saw Nora open the metal box – just at this moment! The sound of footsteps came suddenly from far away.

About seven or eight people came running into the room. The person leading the team said, “Morris Ford! We have received news that someone is conducting experiments on humans in the hospital! Such actions are absolutely forbidden! I demand that all of you stop what you are doing immediately!”
