Chapter 1497 Using Her To Repay His Debt

The doctor explained, "Her body couldn't handle the one-time injection of ten poisons, resulting in a stress reaction."

Joseph asked again, "Is there any way to save her?"

The doctor replied, "We are trying to save her, but we will give her an injection to wake her up first."

Joseph ordered, "Isn't there an experimental antidote? Hurry up and give it to her!"

The doctor explained, "It takes at least 48 hours for the toxins to stabilize. Otherwise, there is no way to cure it, and we can't see any effects of the antidote. This experiment will be wasted."

Joseph murmured, "Two days. It takes 48 hours for this to work. Wake her up quickly. Wait, will she still feel pain when she wakes up?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The doctor said, "Yes, she will feel pain, which will gradually increase. She'll eventually feel like her soul and body are separating."

Upon hearing that, Joseph turned pale. "Will she die?"

The doctor affirmed, "Yes, she will die if she can't withstand it."

After speaking, he paused and asked, "Mr. Joseph, don't you feel sorry for her?"

Frowning, Joseph glanced fiercely at the doctor. "What do I feel sorry for? I don't care about whether she lives or dies."

Despite saying that, he looked at them and asked, "What if we don't give her the injection and let her remain unconscious? Will it be less painful for her?"

Maybe she won't feel as much pain that way?

But the doctor explained, "The injection we gave her is a cardiac stimulant. Without this injection, she would die even faster. We won't be able to observe the pharmacological changes in her and cure her."

Joseph remained silent, which was equivalent to agreeing.

Following that, the doctors gave Jewel the injection.

Everyone stared at her.

After a while, Jewel gradually regained consciousness. She moved her eyes to look around and found herself still inside her prison cell. It seemed like she hadn't died, and the instant disappointment made her almost faint again.

She didn't know if it was because she hadn't done any good deeds in her past life that she had to suffer so much in this life.

It was even difficult for her to die.

Her whole body was in pain, as if every part of her body had been disassembled and reassembled, causing unbearable pain.

She couldn't even suppress the cries of pain that overflowed from her mouth, but she didn't move as she didn't have the strength to move anymore. All her strength was used to resist the pain.

Everyone could only tell from her rapid breathing that she had woken up.

Meanwhile, Joseph stood still, looking at Jewel in front of him, gasping like she had just been fished out from the water. He didn't feel very comfortable.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the people around them sensibly left the cell.

Joseph looked around, his gaze drifting as he felt inexplicably afraid to look at Jewel.

After a while, he said, "Don't blame me either. This is your choice. I will keep my promise to let you go as long as you survive this."

Jewel remained unmoving as if she hadn't heard him.

Joseph continued, "I owe her a child. She was poisoned and couldn't get pregnant because she had saved me. When she became pregnant later, I personally aborted our child because I was concerned about her health. She was over four months pregnant then, and we could already see the baby's hands and feet. But due to her condition, the doctor said her life might be in danger if we kept the child. Since then, she has always blamed me. For so many years, I have tried various methods to cure her, but the poisons in her body have never been completely eliminated."

As Jewel had no strength left, she sneered in her heart. So, he's using me to repay his debt? On what basis? I don't owe him anything. Does he know that curing poison requires using other poison? What am I thinking? Of course, he knows, but he doesn't care. To him, a person's life is as insignificant as grass. Forget it. How can I reason with Joseph Lee? Can I say anything?
