Julien let out a long sigh. “Fortunately, there isn’t much problem with this drug. It should be helpful for Lauren’s condition. Otherwise, giving a patient a drug that has not been made available on the market will only look like an unethical human experimentation.”
Right at this moment, a steady knock sounded at the door.
Alyssa walked over and opened the door. Her eyes widened suddenly.
“Justin?”
Justin was sitting in his wheelchair. He was alone. He smiled cheerily as he looked up at Alyssa.
“Ms. Alyssa, I will be returning to Mosgravia tomorrow afternoon. Can I have a few moments with you in private?”
On the balcony at the end of the corridor, Alyssa stood next to Justin. The golden rays of sunlight made her face look bright as if she were an untouchable goddess of beauty.
Justin turned his face and looked at her deeply.
“What did you want to talk to me about, Justin?” Alyssa avoided his gaze intentionally.
“I will be going back to Mosgravia at night,” he said in a soft and elegant tone.
“Have a safe journey.”
“I want to fulfill my promise to you before I leave.”
Alyssa was feeling doubtful when she saw Justin opening his palm in front of her. There were three pills in his palm. They looked identical to the drugs that Lauren took.
“You…”
Before Alyssa could recover from her surprise, he had already popped all three pills into his mouth and swallowed them. “I said that I would take the same drug as Lauren so that you can be relieved that there is no issue with the drug that I provided.”
Alyssa furrowed her brows. “I didn’t say that I don’t trust you. You didn’t have to do this.”
“I want to keep the promise that I made to you.”
Justin’s voice sounded a little hoarse. His eyes were as deep as the sea. It was as if he could make one lost in his eyes if they weren’t careful.
“Moreover, this is Lauren’s health we’re talking about. It is not something that I can take lightly. Don’t forget¡ªI am her older brother.”
“Thank you for the medication that you brought. Lauren’s condition has improved a lot.”
Alyssa paused. She tried to study Justin’s gaze. “Did you get the drug from RC Biotechnology Research Institute at Mosgravia, Justin?”
“Yes, I did,” Justin admitted openly.
Justin’s honesty took Alyssa by surprise.
Initially, what she thought was that if Justin denied the fact that the drug was from RC, it would mean that he had something to hide about all this.
The likelihood of him being suspicious or there being something wrong with the drug that RC developed would be high. Even if the problem weren’t with the drug that Lauren took, it would be enough to show that there was something fishy going on.
However, she really had no idea what to say right now.
“To be exact, I have dealings with RC and various pharmaceutical research companies in Mosgravia.”
Justin coughed softly. He let out a helpless smile. “All these years, my broken body has been a testing ground. I have taken countless types of medications. I would have given them a shot as long as they could improve my health.
“It’s also exactly because of this that I came to know RC better. I also got a better understanding of the drugs that they are developing.”
“There have been many advances in the medical field to date. I’m sure you will improve if you hang in there, Justin.” Alyssa was kind-hearted. She was merely giving the most basic consolation to someone who was being tormented by pain all year round.
At this moment, neither of them had noticed that Jeremy was standing in the shadows outside the balcony. His eyes were dark as he observed them.
“Ms. Alyssa, do you truly hope for my recovery?”
Justin smiled. “After all, I am the eldest son in the Walsh family. If I become well again, I would very likely go against Jeremy and fight to be the heir apparent. Do you really wish to see that happen?”
Alyssa smiled slightly. Her eyes were bright. “If Jeremy’s position as heir apparent was attained at the cost of your health, truth be told, I would rather have him give up the position as president.
“First and foremost, I love Jeremy as the person that he is. I don’t care about his past or his background. I will not have any complaints, even if he were to cut ties with the Walsh Group one day. Neither will my love for him diminish just because of that.”
Justin frowned.
Jeremy, who was still in the dark, widened his eyes.
His heart started to race.
“I want to see both of you living harmoniously with your family and journeying through highs and lows together. I don’t want a situation where one party is always plotting against another. I do not wish to see you both having a miserable end like the Schmidts after their internal strife.
“If your health is one day restored, Jeremy and I will be happy for you from the bottom of our hearts. If you wish to be the heir apparent, please fight it out fair and square with Jeremy.”
Alyssa spoke her mind openly and honestly. She was broad-minded, exuding the characteristics of a leader.
“Your feelings for Jeremy are so sincere, Ms. Alyssa. That’s very admirable.” Justin fixed his tender and gentle gaze on her. His eyes were filled with fervent yearning.
Alyssa smiled, “Sincerity will touch hearts, Justin. If you’re sincere, you can have your own happiness one day.”
“I sure hope so.”
The look in Justin’s eyes was profound. He turned his wheelchair around, signaling that he was intending to leave.
Jeremy squinted. In a flash, he darted behind a wall.
His heart pounded.
“Oh, right, Ms. Alyssa.”
Justin paused. He turned around again. In a concerned tone, he said, “I also heard about you when I was in Mosgravia. Since then, I have been looking for a cure for you.
“I’ve had some progress to date. Not only did I find an effective drug, but I also found a prestigious medical professor who’s well-known in gynecology. She has been a private doctor to royalty and the president’s wife. She has encountered similar cases more than once. Under her care, you will have more than a 60% chance of recovery.
“You’re so young and outstanding. It would be too much of a pity if you lost the chance to be a mother just like that.”
Upon hearing that, Jeremy’s heart tightened. It was as if his heart was being squeezed tighter and tighter. It felt like his heart could stop at any moment.
Tears welled up in his eyes. With his shaking hands, he clenched the collar of his shirt…
The look on Alyssa’s face suddenly turned dark.
“Justin, whether or not I can or want to conceive, these are all my personal matters.
These are not for you to worry about.” ” As Jeremy’s brother, I am one of the people who understand him.
I know that he loves children.
The way he cared for young Lauren when he was young already showed what a fatherly figure he was.
Even if he doesn’t say it, I’m certain he would love to start a family with you.” Alyssa felt suffocated as a sharp pain shot through her heart.
“I might have overstepped.
But I am only wishing the both of you all the happiness in the world in everything I do.” Justin’s tone was serious and warm.
“If you accept the treatment willingly and become well, Jeremy will be happy, and you will not have any regrets.
Don’t you think so? I will arrange everything after I get back.
You may come over for the treatment any time.” Upon saying that, he turned around and headed outside.
“T will not go.” Without any hesitation, Alyssa spoke in a cold voice.
“I get to be together with Jeremy.
I have no other regrets.
Furthermore, not every woman in this world desires to be a mother.
I’m one such example.
