Chapter 1218

He didn’t want to take any more of these mysterious substances of unknown origin.

He was about to open his mouth to spit the pill out, but Diana’s gaze stopped him. She regarded Jim as a savior-to the point she treated every medicine he gave as a panacea, regardless of its name or ingredients.

Diana wasn’t usually so irrational; she used to look into even the ingredients in her skincare products.

After becoming pregnant, her understanding of various components had reached an almost unbearable level.

But now, regarding the pills Jim was urging Julian to take, she didn’t ask a single question.

Jim’s fingers had already landed on Julian’s arm, adopting a professional pulse checking posture.

Julian had spent a considerable amount of time lying in bed, watching Diana bustle around him.

Back then, when Shiloh checked his pulse, it was the same. He liked to use a single finger for diagnosis, too. Every time he examined Julian, he would record the changes in Julian’s condition in a small notebook by his side.

In this regard, Jim and Shiloh’s actions were identical.

“Do you know Shiloh Stewart, Professor Hughes?” Julian asked.

Perhaps it was the effect of that pink pill, but the pain on Julian’s chest seemed to dissipate. He didn’t want to admit it, but he had to concede that Jim seemed proficient at diagnosis.

However, there was one thing…

This man’s appearance was too bizarre.

Why was it that as soon as he arrived, Enzo became so attentive?

Enzo treated Julian as an enemy before. Now, he was treating Julian like a revered ancestor. He went as far as making Tommy kneel on the ground in an exaggerated manner.

“Yes, I know him. He’s my senior,” Jim replied.

In response to Julian’s slightly surprised expression, Jim helped Julian to sit up.

Then, he asked, “Did Enzo not only give you unapproved phase two experimental drugs, but also administer injections to you?”

As Jim finished speaking, Sean immediately gave him the syringe collected earlier to Jim.

This man had gained Diana’s trust, which also extended to Sean. The primary reason was that he had administered medicine to Julian, who now appeared to be visibly better.

Everyone present, except for Julian, saw no threat in Jim. Julian himself, in light of this man’s sincerity, gradually let down his initial guard.

“Yes,” Julian said, pointing at the syringe, “I was given a shot shortly after I arrived.”

Seeing Jim furrow his brow, both Julian and Diana grew tense as they stared fixedly at him. The next instant, Jim smiled.

“It’s alright. Everything will be fine. After all, I’m here. Any bodily damage caused by medication falls within my area of expertise.”

He continued, “Rest assured. Even though I’m not a doctor, my field of study has always been pharmaceutical medicine. Even the real investors behind Enzo’s pharmaceutical company are connected to me.”

Julian’s alarm bells rang once more upon hearing this.

“Professor Hughes wasn’t aware of what Enzo has been doing,” Diana quickly explained, knowing what Julian was worried about. “I met Professor Hughes at the Jarvises’ residence. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be kneeling before Mrs. Jarvis, waiting to receive information about Enzo. I hoped to find out who was behind him to secure a bargaining chip to get you out. But then…”

Diana paused and glanced at Jim, looking somewhat embarrassed.

“But then, the man behind Enzo found us. He really didn’t know what Enzo had been doing, and even expressed his apologies. When he heard that you and Sean were in trouble, he immediately came with me to this place. He offered to help you recover and ensure your health returns to normal.”

If Julian hadn’t reported to the authorities or considered obstructing Enzo’s pharmaceutical company’s public offering plan, he would have no reason to suspect Diana’s words.

But now…
