“But you must at least know something, right?” Adam said. “That’s better than not doing anything at all!”
“I can only alleviate the most critical symptoms. I can’t completely cure you!”
“That’s better than nothing! If the symptoms are triggered, I’ll rip you into pieces first!” Adam said.
Mr. Ywain shuddered. He decided that his life was more important. “If that’s okay with you… I’ll do whatever I can.”
Adam gritted his teeth. “Yes! Bring it on!”
If Living Agony was not going to kill him, he might as well give it a shot anyway.
Just when Adam had mentally prepared himself, Mr. Ywain said, “But I can’t treat you now. You’ll have to wait for exactly one day before I can insert any needles into that spot.”
Adam frowned hard. “What the f… Must I wait one day?”
“Yes!”
“F*ck! I might die of pain before that!”
“You won’t die!”
“Why must I wait one day? Can’t you treat it before the symptoms are triggered?” Adam’s face was turning pale.
“The seal is traveling around your blood vessels, and it will return to its original position in one day. I can’t guarantee what will happen if I attempt to intercept it!” Mr. Ywain said.
Adam was horrified. He did not expect Emmeline to inflict such punishment on him.
“You b*tch! I won’t forgive you!” Adam yelled.
As soon as those words left his mouth, he suddenly wailed, clutched his chest, and doubled over.
“Mr. Adam! Are the symptoms triggered?” Mr. Ywain cried out in shock.
“Ugh! Ahh! Ahhhh!” Adam’s face was deathly pale, and sweat drops flowed down his head and dripped on the floor.
“My heart! My heart! Is… Is it going to stop beating? Ahh! Ahh! It hurts! Ugh! Emmeline! If I die, I’ll make sure Abel dies along with me!”
His face and lips were white, and he fell on the floor and curled up into a ball.
“Mr. Adam! Mr. Adam!” Mr. Ywain was helpless. “Hang in there! I can only treat it after exactly one day! But I won’t be able to completely cure you!”
