Jared did not want to be associated with Boris and Galen, so he said to Theodore, “General Jackson, now that Mr. Cadden's son is all right, we should get going.”
Then, he turned around and wanted to leave. Since everything was settled, he thought there was no need for him to stay around any longer.
As for how Jermaine would deal with Boris and Galen, he could not be bothered about it.
Seeing that Jared was about to leave, Boris hastily stopped him and exclaimed, “Mr. Chance, please wait! I have a question to ask, and I hope you can enlighten me.”
“What is it?” Jared was taken aback.
“Mr. Chance, since the mindcontrolling parasite had entered Mr. Josiah, why did the mastermind wait for more than a year before controlling his body? What is their intention?”
Boris was mystified. After all, the owner of the parasite only controlled Josiah's body on that day, even though he had schemed against Josiah more than a year ago.
The rest directed their gazes at Jared as soon as Boris' voiced his queries, for they also wished to know the reason. Jermaine, in particular, wanted to figure out the mastermind's ulterior motive.
“As I said earlier, Mr. Josiah was in a vegetative state due to mental impairment that resulted from fright, not because of the poisoning. Although the mind-controlling parasite successfully entered Mr. Josiah's body, the parasite failed to control his mind and body since he was in a coma.”
Jared continued to explain patiently, “Mr. Josiah was in a vegetative state for more than a year. To a certain extent, he was lucky. Otherwise, the mastermind could have controlled Mr. Josiah to do all sorts of horrible things. Earlier on, you accidentally stimulated Mr. Josiah's brain when performing acupuncture on him to extract the toxin. The mindcontrolling parasite grabbed the chance to take control of his body, which led to what we saw just now.”
