Chapter 243: Hallucinogen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The friend who gave me the poisonous hallucinogen is from the Stuttgart family.” At the mention of this name, Jack was practically gnashing his teeth.

That person’s name was Lambert, the eldest son of the Stuttgarts.

The two of them were once very good friends, and everything that had happened was because Lambert had inherited the family business.

After the two families clashed in their careers, Lambert tried to get some information about the Orsola family from Jack many times, but Jack refused. Probably because he was angry out of humiliation, he began to target Jack and create these incidents.

Guo Miao looked at Jack’s sad expression and didn’t know how to comfort him.

“So, this is the reason why you gave up treatment?” Guo Miao asked.

Obviously, Jack had chosen a passive treatment method for a long time. Otherwise, his muscles wouldn’t have atrophied to this extent.

Jack closed his eyes, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes. He knew that he had indeed chosen to give up treatment when he could not stand up.

“I never thought that my good friend would betray me. We were so close before. Why would he betray me?” At this point, Jack’s voice choked up a little.

Guo Miao looked at Jack with mixed feelings. She had experienced being betrayed by a good friend before. She had undergone the pain of being pierced by thousands of arrows before.

“You can question him, but there’s no need to give up your life. Your life is also very precious,” said Guo Miao. “If you waste it all on hatred, it’s meaningless.”

Jack shook his head.

After this incident, he used many methods to find Lambert, but Lambert seemed to have vanished into thin air and never appeared again.

There was no way to even take revenge.

“The Stuttgart family is no different from the Orsolas. They both care more about whether their descendants can be loyal to the family and bring huge benefits to the family. Lambert probably disappeared because of the family conflict.” Jack sighed.

Although Neverland looked the same as before, the hatred between the Orsolas and the Stuttgarts was already on the surface, and it was almost irreconcilable.

“Investigating this is a little difficult, but I’ll do my best to help you within my sphere of influence. I’ll cooperate with the treatment,” Jack said.

Guo Miao nodded and set the date for the surgery with Jack. She was ready to return to the hotel to prepare the things for the surgery.

On the way back to the hotel, Guo Miao remained silent.

“I didn’t expect what happened today either.” Tong Pei skillfully manipulated the steering wheel. “I’m sorry for scaring you.”

Having just entered the film industry, Jack had been in high spirits. Now, he was a drug addict who had never recovered. Even though he was paralyzed in bed, Guo Miao had picked up the faint smell of tobacco beside his bed.

“I’m fine. I wasn’t scared.” Guo Miao sighed softly. “To me, he’s just a patient.”

She didn’t have the leisure to care about other people’s lives.

Becoming a drug addict was Lambert’s choice, so Lambert had to bear the consequences. He couldn’t hate anyone.

“What’s up with that drug 1105? How did you know about Neverland?” Tong Pei was slightly puzzled.

“It’s a hacker friend’s matter. I’m just helping.” Guo Miao wanted to brush this question off. This matter was not something she had experienced in this life, but something she had experienced in her previous life, so it was not easy to talk about. It was also very troublesome to explain.

“I hope you don’t have anything to do with a place like Neverland.” Tong Pei didn’t pursue the matter and only sighed deeply.

The Orsolas and the Stuttgarts rose to power because of that island, and because of this, they experienced misfortune for centuries.

The family grudges in Fog City were too complicated, and Tong Pei didn’t want Guo Miao to get involved.

“I’m just helping my friend investigate. Her family died because of the poison from Neverland. She’s been very sad and needs to know the truth.” Guo Miao knew that Tong Pei was worried about her, so she decided to speak frankly.

This friend was none other than Guo Miao herself. The medication her father had taken for depression was numbered 1105.

She had always suspected that her father had passed away because of improper medication..
