The results were right before Jacqueline's eyes.
Jacqueline didn't find any suspicious herbs. As Olivia had said, she had indeed focused her treatments on Sean's insomnia alone.
However, Jacqueline still felt restless.
"Have you figured out where Avery is?" "There's still no news so far. He was at the Cape of Promise last time, and he soon went to Mozatia after that. He must be dying soon, and he wants to see as much of the world as he can before he dies." Jacqueline's delicate eyebrows creased.
"| feel like something's off. If he's really dying soon, he'll stay hand deal with the handing over of his work and funds. Why would he travel all around the globe?" "What do you mean by this?" "Could it be that his travels were just for show, and he's actually getting treatment right now?" The other person smiled. "You've learned medicine before, so you should know how his current condition is. He is beyond saving." "Even so, | feel quite anxious lately. | can't sleep at night. | have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so keep an eye on Sean for me. We'll make a decision after | cback." She had planned all this for so many years, and she finally cto this point. She wouldn't allow anyone to ruin her plans, let alone a minor doctor.

"Dr. Fordham, you must be a miracle doctor. | always feltfhausted in the past, and | couldn't sleep even if | wanted to.
"But recently, | feel much more relaxed. Your medicine worked very well." Olivia didn't tell him that she was helping him get rid of his poison.
In the past, he was exhausted because various organs in his body were slowly getting poisoned.
It wasn't lethal, but it would numb his organs bit by bit. It greatly increased his burdens, and he would feel that his body was just too tired.
"You flatter me, Mr. Sean. This is just the beginning. We have a few months' worth of treatment ahead of us." With that, Olivia placed a basin filled with herbs at his feet.
"As always, soak your feet first. I'll give you acupuncture later." Sean looked at the dark concoction in the basin. He seemed to have found hope.
"Can | really stand again?" "I've told you that it's not up to me. It depends wholly on your determination." Sean met Olivia's gaze. Her face was a very common one, but her eyes sparkled like a starry sky.
"Dr. Fordham, | won't let your efforts go to waste." As the two chatted, Jacqueline's voice rang out at the door. "Sean, look what | brought you!" While Jacqueline was speaking, she cin with an exquisite box in her hand.
"Here's sturkey for you. It's your favorite, right? | put it in a thermal insulation box for you, and as soon as | cback, | rushed here to deliver it to you." She spotted the basin.
"This is..." Olivia explained, "Mr. Sean has been bound to the wheelchair for years, so his legs are beginning to weaken.
"| used the herbs to nourish and massage his legs so that they wouldn't weaken so fast." With that, Olivia changed the topic. "You're so kind to Mr. Sean, Ms. Jacqueline." "But of course.

"Thank you, Jacqueline. You're so busy, but you still care about me." Jacqueline placed her palm on the back of Sean's hand.
"Of course. I've never forgotten what happened back when | was a child.
"| got sick, and you took care oftirelessly. Sean, | hope that you'll get better soon, too." When she said those things in the past, Sean would either chuckle bitterly or give a cold reply.
But today, he said with determination, "Jacqueline, I've been depressed for the past few years, and I've caused a lot of trouble for our family.
"You guys were so worried about me, too.
"But from now on, that won't happen again. I'll live my life to the fullest."
