Chapter 579



.

The moment Nora spoke, the gazes of Janson and the others fell on her. That reduced the pressure on Morris.

Janson’s gaze fell on Old Terry lying on the gurney.

Earlier, he had seen his father’s body. His father’s heart had stopped beating. Blood and brain matter had gushed from his temples. It was a tragic sight.

His companions had pulled him away.

At that moment, he turned and saw Old Terry’s chest heaving weakly on the gurney. It was evident that he was almost dead.

Janson’s eyes grew even redder. He asked in a trembling voice, “Can you really fix him?”

Nora nodded.

However, Ruth, who had finished dressing his wounds, held his arm and said, “Miss Smith, what the doctors said earlier clearly indicates that he can’t be saved. It is not good for Old Terry to be kept alive by force. His brain is already dead, so why are you torturing his body like this, just to avoid punishment to Karl?”

When Ruth said this, Janson was instantly enraged. “Nora, what the hell is going on, can’t my father’s illness be treated, is there really no such precedent in the world?”

Nora narrowed her eyes and looked at Ruth coolly. Then she looked at Janson and lowered her head. “Indeed, there are still no cases of brain-dead patients waking up.”

These words made Janson’s eyes instantly become angrier. He was like a lion, as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her instantly.

Nora was not afraid at all. She stared at him and said, “But I have a method that might enable your father to get a new life. I wonder if you want to use it.”

Janson was puzzled. “What method?”

Nora sighed quietly. “What is our special department investigating?”

Janson frowned and quickly snapped back to reality. “Genetic medicine?”

Nora nodded.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, she said slowly, “Everyone has seen the power of genetic serum. It can change DNA and strengthen the body. As our medical examiner, I have been researching this genetic serum for a while. I have deciphered this genetic serum.”

With this sentence, everyone looked at her.

Even Morris looked at her in disbelief.

Ruth’s eyes widened. “How…how is that possible?”

Nora said calmly, “How could it not be?”

Ruth bit her lip and did not speak. Instead, it was Captain Johnson who scoffed. “Nora, I think you’re really putting the cart before the horse! The case we want to investigate is the experiment with human bodies corresponding to the genetic serum! The genetic serum itself is an illegal substance, do you really want to use this stuff?”

Nora raised her eyebrows. “To save people, even if it’s a poison, we have to use it, right?”

Captain Johnson snorted. “But what’s the difference between this and a human trial!”

The difference…

Of course there was a difference.

Nora lowered her eyes. “Old Terry’s already dead anyway. What if the genetic serum actually manages to make him recover?”

She pointed to Old Terry’s head and said, “The gene serum has the ability to revive cells, so it can extend bones and bring people back to life. In theory, as long as the person is still breathing, this serum should work.”

Captain Johnson still wanted to say something, but Nora looked directly at Janson. “I’m telling you now, this is the only way. There may be a 50/50 chance of getting your father to wake up. So, are you going to use it or not?”.

Janson said without hesitation, “Yes!”.

He didn’t even need to think about it.

Captain Johnson was quick to say, “Janson, you…”

Before he could finish, he was stopped by Nora. “Captain Johnson, what are you thinking stopping me from using the gene serum? Are you so afraid that old Terry will wake up?”

Captain Johnson choked on his words and shouted angrily, “Of course not. If Old Terry can wake up, I’ll be happier than anyone! But you’re using his body as an experiment. This is really unacceptable! Besides, what if this genetic serum has side effects! Old Terry is already brain dead, are you going to disrespect his corpse and his beliefs?”

Janson hesitated.

However, Nora seemed to have foreseen it. Still, she said nonchalantly, “Therefore, I will not choose Old Terry as a test subject. I’ll use him on someone else first.”

Janson asked unconsciously, “Who?”

“My cousin, Quentin.”

Nora said slowly, word by word, “You all know that my third brother has all broken bones. With today’s medical knowledge, it is impossible for him to stand up again. The gene serum can definitely treat people who have broken bones. I will inject Quentin with the gene serum today. After observation, if his health improves, I’ll give it to Old Terry, is that okay?”

Of course!

If he was confident enough to use it on his own brother, why couldn’t it be used on Old Terry?

Janson hastily nodded and made up his mind. “Yes!”

Nora looked back at Morris and raised her eyebrows to ask, “Captain Ford, may I?”

She was asking if she could use the gene serum.

Morris looked at Captain Johnson.

Actually, it was illegal for them to use this drug.

But to save Old Terry… Morris said in a deep voice, “Yes.”

The matter was settled.

Seeing that he could no longer interrupt, a dark light shone in Captain Johnson’s eyes.

The people gathered in the lobby quickly dispersed. Captain Johnson entered the office with Ruth following him. “Captain Johnson, do you need me to help you question Karl and make him confess?”

“No, that’s all right.”

Captain Johnson said, “Our best option is to stay quiet for now.”

He had the absolute advantage – how could he lose?

Besides…

Old Terry’s temple had been pierced, and his brain matter had gushed out. He was already dead. Captain Johnson didn’t think Nora could treat Old Terry. Besides, the gene serum? How could it be so effective?

He was waiting to hear the news of Old Terry’s death and then send Karl to the guillotine. Then, I would take advantage of this matter to bring Morris down from his seat!

It was really killing three birds with one stone!

However, Ruth reminded him with concern, “I heard that Nora took Old Terry to the hospital where his medical team is. And she’ll be treating Quentin tonight.”

Captain Johnson grimaced. “Agreed. Then we’ll wait for the results of his treatment tomorrow.”
