Chapter 1131
After a while, just when Dr. Lester almost thought Marcus wasn't going to answer him, he finally heard Marcus slowly reply, "Acidbane, you've heard of it, right?"
Dr. Lester thought he misheard, "What did you say?"
Marcus replied, "Acidbane!"
Acidbane, a drug that, whether injected into humans or animals, would slowly and gradually destroy the insides, torturing the victim to death. This name, Dr. Lester had heard it twenty-some years ago.
But back then, it had only circulated for a bit before people started saying it was just a rumor, that there was no such drug, and so the matter was laid to rest.
Now hearing the name again, Dr. Lester broke out in a cold sweat, "Marc, how do you know about this stuff? Where'd you hear it?"
Marcus lifted his eyes, staring straight ahead, "Brennen told me.’
Upon hearing Brennen's name, Dr. Lester shivered, "He told you?
Was this drug made by his people?"
Such a thing happening to anyone could be a rumor, but if it involved Brennen, it was definitely true.
Dr. Lester was scared, "Marc, did he so something to you?"
Dr. Lester stopped in time. He didn't dare to continue thinking, as the picture forming in his mind was too cruel.
Marcus gave a wry smile, "Just as you thought, it was his people who injected me with that drug.”
Dr. Lester asked, "When? We need to go to the hospital immediately, to get the drug out of your system as soon as possible."
Marcus closed his eyes, slowly saying, "If | die, Granny Luisa and Bri can take care of each other. The one I'm most worried about is Cornelia. Cornelia and her grandma depended on each other, and her grandma just passed away. She can't handle losing another loved one. | don't want anyone to tell her about my illness."
Dr. Lester said, "Having Cornelia by your side might help you get better faster."
Jayden also joined in their conversation, "President Hartley, | agree with Dr. Lester. You should let Cornelia be with you."
Marcus didn't open his eyes, "I'm not dead yet, and you guys are rushing to make decisions for me?"
Jayden had nothing to say. He should learn more from his brother Ayden. If he didn't need to talk, he wouldn't.
Dr. Lester, being older, dared to voice his thoughts, "Cornelia is your wife, can you really hide your illness from her? Even if all of us keep quiet, Cornelia will find out sooner or later.”
Marcus replied, "I've already got a plan."
