CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 786

Just as Desmond reached the door, Suzy suddenly asked, “Did Dylan take some kind of special drug?”

“You know about it?”

The moment Desmond spoke, he realized his mistake and felt like his world was crumbling.

“Mrs. Wright, what I meant was… there’s no such thing, you shouldn’t overthink—”

He couldn’t keep up the lie anymore.

Under Suzy’s cold and piercing gaze, the words got stuck in his throat.

After a long pause, he finally admitted, “Mrs. Wright, you guessed right.”

At this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

He decided to come clean.

“Mr. Wright was worried about you, so he took a secret medicine from our organization. This drug allows a person to temporarily return to peak condition, which is why he recovered so quickly.

“But the side effects are severe. For the rest of his life… he may become nothing more than a living corpse.”

“A living corpse?”

Suzy knew exactly what that meant, but she still found it hard to accept.

Desmond nodded heavily, his mood weighed down.

“Yes. Mr. Wright was already poisoned with that strange toxin, and after taking the drug, the two effects combined, making things even worse.

“There’s a very high chance that he’ll end up as nothing more than a vegetable, completely incapable of doing anything except breathing.”

“Why didn’t you stop him?”

Suzy’s heart clenched painfully.

“You knew this would happen! You should have stopped him back then!”

Desmond’s eyes reddened instantly.
