The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2387

The mercury dichloride that had been poured into Edmund's mouth soon took effect, and he could feel the discomfort and pain slowly surging inside him.

He knew that this must be because his kidney functions had begun to deteriorate rapidly!

It was only at this point that Edmund truly realized what a big problem he had gotten himself into.

Previously, he had used to think that with his status, position, and family background, he could run amuck fearlessly in any corner of the world.

After all, the vast majority of things in this world seemed too cheap as compared to his ten-billion-dollar family fortune.

He had caused a lot of trouble when he was in the United States, but even if he truly killed someone, he could take care of it with a few million dollars at most, and it would not have caused him any trouble nor consequence at all.

If he had poisoned Corwin in the United States and the matter had been exposed, he could immediately get a scapegoat to confess to the matter by spending a mere few hundred thousand dollars. 5

So what if the whole world knew that he was the

mastermind behind it? He could bribe his way to the most powerful person in the judiciary and put all the charges on the scapegoat alone, escaping unscathed.

However, this time, he had offended Charlie.

Since he was on bad terms with Charlie, he could not solve the problem with money like he always did!

In just a few hours, Edmund had transformed from a strong young man into a terminally ill patient who had lost almost all mobility and could only lie on the floor, wailing in pain.

The doctor that Isaac had arranged in advance had been following up on Edmund’s physical condition. H e would perform a creatinine blood test on Edmund every half hour. 3

In just half an hour, Edmund's blood creatinine value had shot wildly from 75 at the beginning to 200, 500, 800,1000, and even went all the way to 1500. This value indicated that Edmund’s kidneys had sustained a total failure. 3

Subsequently, the doctor immediately connected him t o the dialysis machine.

The dialysis machine was, to put it bluntly, an artificially manufactured mechanical kidney. When the kidneys had lost their functions, the machine would replace the kidneys to complete the task of detoxification and filtration. 6
