Angeline raised another question, "It was rumored that my mother-in-law, Chloe Yorks, killed you. For this reason alone, Grand Old Master Ares imprisoned her in the underground palace for many years. But, you're not dead, Grandma Boye. I want to know who spread such a terrible rumor?"
Boye sighed and said, "Before Chloe married into the Ares family, she had already given birth to a child for another man. She named the child Ron Yorks and looked for me everywhere when a terrible virus infected him. As soon as she came into the Ares family's house, she quickly saw through my identity and made threats so that I'll treat her son's illness. Even though I didn't like her very much, as a doctor, I still promised to treat her son.
"But she pressed too hard, saying that she’ll expose m y identity if I failed to treat her child. I was afraid, so I got a corpse and made it look like me. I used that as m y crafty escape plan to leave the Ares family's household. As for why there were such rumors, Chloe must have done something vile to the corpse, causing Dylan to misunderstand..."
Angeline still remembered Ron Yorks. When they first came to Peach Blossom County and on the first night o f staying in the hotel, Ron had stayed downstairs. He
died that same night.
At the time, they did not know of Ron Yorks' identity, s o they regarded him as a passerby. If they had known that he was Jay’s half-brother, perhaps they would have paid extra attention to him.
"I think Ron lived to be about 40 years old in the end," said Angeline.
Boye smiled and said, "I've kept my word. I promised Chloe that I'd save Ron, and I did it. Once I left the
Ares family’s house, I went to Mount Pearl and looked for Ron. I was the one who gave him an injection. How else could he have lived so long?"
She looked at Boye in surprise and sighed. "A single shot can sustain a person's life for so many years?
Grandma Boye, you’re indeed a formidable figure in the medical field."
Boye looked proud as she continued, "It was a drug that can stimulate cell regeneration. I have more and better drugs over here with me."
Angeline suddenly thought of those human skin masks that the Ares family had and said, "Grandma Boye, your child's play invention was able to stir up a calamity in the whole country. If your medical achievements are published, it could shock the entire world."
Boye said, "Some of my research results are indeed very good and can save lives, but some can destroy the whole of humanity. In my whole life, I've been fascinated by the research of biotechnology. But when I die, I wish to bury them beneath the ground with me.
I don't want anyone to use them for evil.”
Angeline suddenly realized that it was not a good thing for her to have met Grandma Boye. She hurriedly said, "Grandma Boye, I think it's indeed more appropriate for you to hide your identity. A man will do anything in his power to become rich. If you encounter someone desperate, how will you be able to protect your research results?"
