Iker seemed like a trapped beast on the brink of rage, his eyes filled with icy killing intent that made one shudder.
His thin lips parted slightly as he coldly uttered a single word. "Investigate!"
"Yes."
After Tanner left the room, there were only three people left. His face had finally softened a bit, although it was still very cold and hard.
"Miss Lawrence, how should I treat my leg?" Iker asked.
Cheyenne looked at him with some hesitation. She lifted a strand of long hair from her forehead and tucked it behind her ear. It was an unintentional but gentle gesture.
"Well, I thought your fracture was just caused by the car accident, but now it seems like there's a bigger problem that's harder to deal with," she said with a hint of difficulty and guilt in her tone.
She didn't need to spell it out - Iker already understood what she meant.
Actually, he hadn't held out much hope from the beginning...
Over the years, he had seen more than a hundred so-called "famous doctors", but every time ended up with the same result. He had long stopped feeling disappointed about it. But when he heard Cheyenne say this, his heart still felt sad for a moment. He couldn't even understand why he would have such a long-lost feeling.
He laughed at himself inwardly.
Seeing his handsome and aloof face filled with such loneliness, Cheyenne spoke hesitantly, ""Well... it's not entirely hopeless! We just need to figure out what poison you've been exposed to, find the antidote, and then treat it."
"Master Iker, you don't have to be too sad."
Having been poisoned for three years, he was afraid that the toxicity had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
It was not easy to find an antidote!
"Thank you, Miss Lawrence. I understand now."
"So for today, I can only temporarily give you an injection to suppress your pain."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Cheyenne washed her hands, dried them with a clean cloth, and then took out tools from her own medicine box.
"By the way, Master Iker, I want to take a sample of your blood and have it tested."
