When Joanna ca out of the room, Quinton, who had been guarding outside, went to her.
"Sis, what happened? Why are you in such a flurry? Did that guy wake up?"
"His fingers moved. I think he’s about to wake up..."
Joanna tried her best to calm herself down before she said to Quinton seriously, "Can you promise one thing?"
"Of course, I’ll promise you no matter what you ask of !"
Quinton announced humbly as he tried his best to please Joanna for fear that his only sister would hate him.
"Treat Ace’s illness. Don’t hurt him. Let him live even if it’s not for . Do it for Adie and Abby."
Joanna stared at Quinton with a firm and solemn gaze that had no intention of giving in.
After a series of incidents, she felt that she did not know him enough. She did not know his limits after being reunited with him after such a long separation.
So, she still did not dare to trust him fully, even though they were a pair of twins.
"Er..."
As expected, Quinton’s eyes wavered. He was slightly hesitant.
He might not want to let Ace off the hook at the very beginning. He was just trying to stall for ti and pacify Joanna temporarily when he claid that he had hired a so-called exceptional physician.
"Ace’s life is the key that holds our siblinghood together. If he’s alive, we’re still brother and sister. If he’s gone, we’ll cut off our relationship."
Joanna made a cruel statent.
Quinton frowned deeply. After a fierce internal struggle, he nodded coldly. "Okay."
His relationship with his sister was more important than Ace’s life.
"Thank you."
Joanna nodded at Quinton and said sadly, "I’ll leave him in your care. I’ll go first."
"Go?"
Quinton blocked her and said with confusion, "Where are you going at this critical ti? You care so much about him. Shouldn’t you stay by his side until he’s out of danger?"
"That’ll be unnecessary."
Joanna shook her head and said with grief, "He and I are incompatible. It’s destined that we can’t be together. Leaving him is the last thing I can do for him."
"Where are you going? Why don’t I go with you? We’re just been reunited with each other. I don’t want to be separated from you again..."
"Don’t worry. I won’t stay away for long. We still have a lot of things to do. We’re yet to rebuild and revive our family. I’ll just be gone for a while, and I’ll soon be back."
"Okay, I’m glad to hear that."
Quinton also accepted her decision and sighed. "That’s good. Your mood will be influenced if you stay by him all day. It’s better to stay far away from him, and you’ll lead a carefree and happy life... In short, don’t worry. Although I hate him so much that I want to hack him into pieces, I’ll try my best to cure him since I gave you my promise!"
Joanna left that day after she said those things.
Coincidentally, Ace woke up after she had gone.
However... his situation seed to be worse than when he was in a coma.
"Go! Get lost!"
Ace’s crazy roar could be heard in the room from ti to ti, coupled with the smashing of bottles and jars.
The servant was standing outside while carrying a bowl of steaming herbal dicine, but the servant did not dare to enter the room.
"Mr. Moran, please take the dicine while it’s hot. There is residual venom in your body. If you don’t take the dicine in ti, I’m afraid that the toxin may spread. It’ll be dangerous by then..."
The physician, whose mustache had turned white, stood outside the room and advised Ace earnestly.
He had treated many noble and rich people, so he had seen a lot of patients who were hard to deal with. However, it was the first ti for him to et such a difficult patient like Ace.
At first, Ace was nearing death. He was finally saved after much difficulty, but he did not listen to the others at all. He did not even want to take the dicine. He was simply courting death.
"Where’s Joanna? Where is she? I want to see her. Get lost if you’re not her!"
Ace casually picked up an antique vase and threw it hard at the door.
When it was about to fall, Quinton quickly grabbed it before he said coldly, "If you want to make a scene, wait till you’re back ho. Why do you make a scene in my Carmine
Pawnshop? I purposely bought this antique vase from a seller in Jade City. I spent quite a lot of money on it. Are you going to pay for my loss if you break it?"
"Just go ahead if you want to kill . You don’t have to torture and humiliate like this!"
Ace’s voice was low, and his expression was filled with extre pain.
"Why did you say that? When did I torture and humiliate you? I served you well. I even hired the best physician to cure you. It’s fine if you didn’t thank , but you slandered . Well, how ungrateful you are..."
Quinton placed the antique vase carefully before he took the bowl of dicine from the servant. Waving his hand, he asked the physician and servant to leave first. After that, he slowly walked to Ace and waved his hand in front of Ace.
As expected, Ace made no response.
"Alas, just have the dicine. It’s better to stay alive."
He was full of complicated feelings. After shaking his head, he handed the bowl to Ace, whose facial features were perfect, but his gaze was dull.
"I told you. Get lost!"
When Ace slled the deep scent of the dicine, he waved his hand and nearly turned the bowl over. He gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Where is Joanna? I want to see her!"
Quinton reacted quite agilely and dodged it in ti. Only then did he keep the freshly brewed dicine intact.
Unable to take any more, he placed the bowl on the table and grabbed Ace’s neck angrily. He then said fiercely, "Don’t flatter yourself! You’re a blind guy now! It’s very easy for to kill you. Stop challenging my patience again!"
However, Ace did not resist at all. He let Quinton do what he wanted and said with despair, "Sure, just go ahead and let have it. Of course, it’s better to be dead rather than live on like this."
"You..."
Quinton gritted his teeth furiously. However, he could only let go angrily and cursed, "What f*cking sin did I commit to suffer such consequences? You ruined my face and territory back then! I humbly suffered in silence for four years. But I didn’t even get to take revenge on you after I ca back. I even have to serve you well. Well, why do I have to suffer so...
"Let warn you one last ti. Drink the dicine. If not, I’m going to force it on you!"
He put the bowl of dicine near Ace’s lips again and threatened Ace to drink the dicine as if he was threatening a child.
Alas, if his sister did not ask him to keep Ace alive before she left, he would have gotten rid of Ace. Why did he have to dillydally and waste each other’s ti?
"Don’t you hate to the core? Why didn’t you kill but keep alive?"
Ace’s eyes were dull as he asked in Quinton’s direction.
He was poisoned by a highly toxin venom. He might have died, but he seed to hear soone calling after him when he was nearing death. The crying voice made his heart ache, so he tried his best to wake up.
Unexpectedly, he learned the truth when he woke up. The thing he would face was more frightening than hell.
Humph! The proud and superior president of Moran Group had beco a blind man. He was now a cripple who could not even walk.
"Drink the dicine if you want to know the answer," Quinton said slowly.
