Chapter 587



Johnson had always been someone who could keep his cool.

From the beginning to the end, he had never believed that someone who had taken a bullet to the temple could survive.

That was why he had done nothing all this time. Nor did he want to leave behind any potential blackmail material for Nora.

However, things were starting to unfold in increasingly strange ways.

Even the medical examiner at the inspection unit was saying that Terry had a chance of regaining consciousness….

However, he should not panic.

Regaining consciousness did not mean that he would remember the past. Surely there was no way for newly grown brain cells to retain memories of the past, was there?

She couldn’t help but ask, “Would he remember what had happened in the past?”

The medical examiner replied, “Memories are stored in the central nervous system. As long as the nerves are not destroyed, memories could be preserved. It all depends on Terry’s condition when he wakes up.”

Johnson was dumbfounded to hear this.

The medical examiner re-entered the room and continued to observe Terry’s condition.

Johnson stood outside. Then, suddenly, he turned around and headed outside. As he was about to walk down the stairs, he saw Lily supporting Quentin as he walked down the hallway.

Lily even complimented him. She said, “How nice! Your recovery is progressing very fast.”

Quentin explained, “Yes, I can feel my body repairing itself little by little every day. I can feel my bones growing, it’s like something is bubbling inside me…. It’s amazing! I had always known Nora’s medical skills were amazing, but I didn’t expect them to be this good!”

Lily nodded as well. “I finally understand why people are after the gene serum. It’s just too amazing.”

Johnson continued down the stairs as he listened to their conversation.

He lit a cigarette in the hospital and began to smoke, his emotions growing more and more irritable.

He stubbed out the butt and threw it in the wastebasket. Only then did he get into his car and drive to the special department.

As soon as he entered the special department, everyone gathered around him. They looked at him and asked, “Captain Johnson, what happened to Captain Ford, did he really violate regulations?”

“Captain Johnson, shouldn’t Mark be released now?” The attitude of the people in the department toward Johnson had clearly become much more enthusiastic than before, all only because Morris had not immediately retaliated against Janson when the accident occurred. This had made everyone unhappy with him.

Johnson smiled and replied, “It’s okay, they’re just trying to thoroughly investigate what happened. Besides, you are all aware that Captain Ford’s way of doing things is too lax by the book. Gee! Okay, let’s release Mark for now! Besides, you all shouldn’t be gathered here. Go do what you’re supposed to do.” Everyone nodded.

They wanted to say something else, but Johnson had already entered his office. He took out another cigarette and started smoking. He was still waiting, waiting for more news from the hospital about Terry’s condition. Brain damage could lead to many different scenarios. He couldn’t risk it yet.

After a while, the outside gradually grew darker.

Suddenly, someone pushed on Johnson’s office door. An excited Mark rushed in and said, “Johnson, I think Karl is about to be convicted of his crimes!”

Johnson was startled. “What do you mean?”

Mark replied, “Janson just contacted me and told me that Terry opened his eyes today! He obviously wanted to say something, but since he couldn’t control his body yet, he couldn’t speak. Janson also said that Terry will be able to talk after another day. When that happens, we will have a testimony! Let’s see what Karl has to say after that.”

Panic entered Johnson’s eyes, but he feigned surprise nonetheless and said, “Really? That’s great!”

After Mark reported the ‘good news,’ he left the office.

Johnson stayed in the office for a while longer. Suddenly, he put out his cigarette. A sharp look shone in his eyes. Then he went out and called Mark.

He said to him, “Question Karl during the night and do everything you can to get him to confess his crimes! It will be a gift for Terry when he wakes up.”

A fierce look appeared in Mark’s eyes. “Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll get a satisfactory result!”

Johnson nodded. “I’ll head to the hospital to keep an eye on Terry and I’ll endeavor to get a statement from him! That way, we can get Karl convicted as soon as possible!”

“Yes, sir.”

Thereupon Johnson got out and left. He did not, however, go to the hospital. He stopped at a drugstore and bought some drugs capable of instantly asphyxiating someone….
