Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 348

Jared said, “This prescription is to save the patient. As for me, I want the patient to never recover.” The pupils of the old traditional medicine doctor shrank. To put it bluntly, Jared wanted a prescription to kill someone. It was true that doctors could kill people because of their poor medical skills, but to intentionally kill someone, the old traditional medicine doctor could not do it. Jared took out another ten gold bars, pushed them in front of the old traditional medicine doctor, and said, “These are the down payment. After the deed is done, there will be more rewards.” The old traditional medicine doctor had already kept the gold bar that Jared had given to him the first time. However, now that the old traditional medicine doctor knew that he was supposed to give a prescription to kill someone, he immediately returned the gold bar. The eld Traditional medicine doctor stood up and said, “Mr. Blake, I’m sorry, but my prescription can only be used to save people.” “There’s no need for you to prescribe, Doctor Darren,” Jared said. The old traditional medicine doctor looked at Jared in confusion. How could he help Jared harm someone without prescribing a prescription? Jared said, “Doctor Darren, you only need to tell me which medicine looks similar to the ones in this prescription and can completely destroy the effect of this prescription. It’s best if it can also have a negative effect on the patient.” The old traditional medicine doctor hesitated. If he didn’t need to prescribe a prescription, with no evidence left behind, he would indeed be tempted because of the amount of money offered. “1 million dollars!” Jared promised. Jared had been Blake Corporation’s president for so many years and knew very well how powerful money was. Money could even make the impossible happen. When the old traditional medicine doctor heard the amount of 1 million dollars, the temptation became greater. 21 gold bars were worth nearly 200 thousand dollars. If 1 million dollars were added, that would be 1.2 million dollars. The old traditional medicine doctor ran a clinic, and it would take him more than two years to earn 1.2 million dollars. Moreover, the economy was in a slump now and many people were unwilling to ge see a doctor even if they were ill. Thus, business in the old traditional medicine doctor wasn’t as good as before. Additionally, all the clinics were fighting each other for business. Jared saw the old traditional medicine doctor became hesitant and said, “Doctor Darren, you only need to tell me which medicine can be replaced and what negative effects there will be after they are replaced. I’ll write the

prescription myself and you don’t have to worry your handwriting will be on the prescription. I’ll personally get the medicine. All will be fine. If something really happens, it’s because the newbie in the pharmacy accidentally got the wrong medicine.” The old traditional medicine doctor felt a little more at ease after hearing what Jared said. Jared added, “I’ve already prepared all the gold bars. When the time comes, Doctor Darren, you can directly exchange them for cash or continue to keep these gold bars. There won’t be any evidence left behind.” Seeing Jared’s sincerity, the old traditional medicine doctor frowned and said, “I will change the prescription then.” “Thank you,” Jared said as he placed the prescription on the table. The old traditional medicine doctor pointed at the medicines and began to think of substitutes. “Change radix aconiti to aconitum nagarum. Don’t add large quantities of aconitum nagarum, or one will die immediately. Change Panax notoginseng to Gynura segetum…” The old traditional medicine doctor continued to change the other medicines. Jared wrote the names down on paper and asked the old traditional medicine doctor, “Doctor Darren, do these medicines look alike?” Doctor Darren nodded. “Ordinary people would not be able to tell them apart.” “That’s good,” Jared replied immediately. He then stood up and said, “Thank you for your hard work.” Jared walked to the corner and took out a small box. Jared handed it to the old traditional medicine doctor. “The gold is worth 1 million dollars.” “Thank you!” The old traditional medicine doctor immediately thanked Jared. Honestly, the old traditional medicine doctor was still feeling a little perturbed. However, thinking his son was about to get all the down payment, the old traditional medicine doctor felt that he should be bolder. “I’ll send you off, Doctor Darren,” Jared said and was about to stand up. The old traditional medicine doctor immediately said, “There’s no need to send me off. Mr. Blake, please stay.” After the old traditional medicine doctor left, Jared narrowed his eyes as he looked at the prescription in his hand. If Jared directly handed these medicines to Lucy, Lucy would probably feel suspicious. So, the best method was to bribe the staff at the pharmacy where Lucy would go and get medicines. That was very easy. Humans all loved money after all. The poorer people were, the easier for them to fall into this trap. At a suburban villa. Preston dragged Lianne to play with him in the backyard. “It’s cold outside. Let’s just stay inside,” said Lianne. Was Preston very willful and said, “I want to go to the backyard to stack cards.” When Preston was a fool, he could never remember these cards called dominoes.

“Alright, you should wear more clothes then,” Lianne said. Preston immediately put on his coat on the sofa. Lianne helped Preston zip it up considerately, then picked up the scarf and wrapped it around Preston. After pondering a little while, Lianne decided to put a hat on Preston and carefully tidied him up. Preston looked at Lianne and thought about how she had taken care of him for so many years. Preston was touched and his heart ached. They reached the backyard. Lianne squatted in front of a pile of dominoes and said, “Preston, let’s compete to pile them up. Let’s see who will finish it first.” “Lina!” Preston shouted. “Yes,” Lianne replied, and she hadn’t noticed anything different about Preston. “Lina, thank you for your care all these years,” Preston suddenly said. When Lianne who was about to stack the dominoes heard Preston’s words, her grip on the dominoes suddenly tightened. Lianne looked up at Preston in shock, her eyes burned with joy, and tears fell. “Preston… You?” “Yes, I remember now!” Preston said. Smack! The domino in Lianne’s hand fell to the ground. Lianne suddenly stood up and hugged Preston’s neck. Lianne cried like a child as she said, “Preston, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long. I even thought this day would never come. Actually, back then, I’d already given up all hope. I thought to myself that as long as you are alive, and as long as you are by my side, it would be good enough.” “You have bear too much because of me.” Preston patted Lianne’s back. “BO Lianne wailed. Lianne had always been cold and strong. It was rare for her to cry like this. Lianne shook her head vigorously. “No! Preston, as long as you are alive and well, I will be happy. Whether you recover or still suffer from amnesia, I will still feel happy.” God knew how much pain Lianne had suffered when she lost her mother back then. The reason why Lianne, with her cold personality, became good friends with Julian was that their fates were too similar. “In the future, I will protect you well,” Preston said, his eyes red. Lianne shook her head again and said, “I can still protect you, Preston. I can protect you forever!” “That year, when I was in a car accident, Jared was sitting in another car that drove past mine,” Preston said. Hearing it, Lianne grabbed Preston’s shoulder tightly. Lianne’s whole body was shaking. That anger, that cold feeling, and that hatred in her made her unable to control herself. Lianne knew that Jared had never liked Preston and her. In Lianne’s heart, no matter how vicious a person was, he would never harm his family. However, Lianne had never thought that Jared would actually plot to deal with them. Preston said calmly, “Regardless of whether the car© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

accident was planned by Jared or not, he really did not choose to save me back then.” “It definitely is his doing!” Lianne was trembling with anger again. If not for Jared, how could he have happened to be at the scene of the car accident? This all made sense now. Back then, when Annalise was treating Preston’s illness, Annalise said that Preston also suffered some psychological issues. At that time, Annalise showed Preston photos of all the Blake family members. Preston reacted greatly when seeing Jared’s photo. So that was how it was. Jared was so heartless. “Lina, I want to go back to the Blake Residence to stay!” Preston said.
