The moment Nora spoke, Janson and the others’ gazes fell on her. It reduced the pressure on Morris.
Janson’s gaze landed on Old Terry lying on the stretcher.
Earlier, he had seen his father’s body. His father’s heart had stopped beating. Blood and brain matter had oozed out from his temples. It was a tragic sight.
His colleagues had pulled him away.
At this moment, he turned around and saw that Old Terry’s chest was heaving weakly on the stretcher. It was obvious that he was nearly dead.
Janson’s eyes turned even redder. He asked with a trembling voice, “Can you really treat him?”
Nora nodded.
However, Ruth, who had finished treating her wounds, held her arm and said, “Miss Smith, what the doctors said earlier clearly indicated that he can’t be saved. It’s not good for Old Terry if you forcefully keep him alive! His brain is already dead, so why are you torturing his body like this? Just to avoid punishment for Karl?”
When Ruth said this, Janson instantly became furious. “Nora, what on earth is going on? Can’t my father’s illness be treated? Is there really no such precedent in the world?”
Nora lowered her eyes and glanced at Ruth coldly. Then, she looked at Janson and lowered her head. “Indeed, there are no cases of brain dead patients waking up yet.”
These words made Janson’s eyes instantly become even more furious. He was like a lion, as if he wanted to rush over and bite her the next moment.
Nora was not afraid at all. She stared at him and said, “But I have a method that might allow your father to obtain a new life. I wonder if you want to use it?”
Janson was stunned. “What way?”
Nora sighed silently. “What is our special department investigating?”
Janson frowned and quickly came back to his senses. “Genetic medicine?”
Nora nodded.
Then, under everyone’s gaze, she said slowly, “Everyone has seen the power of gene serum. It can change the DNA and make the body stronger. As our forensic doctor, I have been researching this gene serum for a while now. I’ve cracked this gene serum!”
With this sentence, everyone looked at her.
Even Morris looked at her in disbelief.
Ruth’s eyes widened. “How… how is this possible?”
Nora said calmly, “How is it not?”
Ruth bit her lip and did not speak. Instead, it was Captain Johnson who sneered. “Nora, I think you’re really putting the cart before the horse! The case we want to investigate is the human body experiment corresponding to the gene serum! This gene serum itself is an illegal substance. You actually want to use this thing?”
Nora raised her eyebrows. “In order to save people, even if it’s poison, we have to use it, right?”
Captain Johnson snorted. “But what’s the difference between this and a human trial?!”
The difference…
Of course there was a difference.
Nora lowered her eyes. “Old Terry is already dead anyway. What if the gene serum really revived him?”
She pointed at Old Terry’s head and said, “The gene serum has the ability to revive cells, so it can extend bones and bring people back to life. In theory, as long as a person is still breathing, this serum should work!”
Captain Johnson still wanted to say something, but Nora looked straight at Janson. “I’m telling you now, this is the only way. There might be a 50% chance of making your father wake up. So are you going to use it or not?”
Janson said without hesitation, “Yes!”
He did not even need to think about it.
Captain Johnson hurriedly said, “Janson, you…”
Before he could finish, he was stopped by Nora. “Captain Johnson, what are you thinking by stopping me from using the gene serum? Are you that afraid that Old Terry will wake up?”
Captain Johnson choked on her words and shouted angrily, “Of course not. If Old Terry can wake up, I’ll be happier than anyone else! But you’re using his body as an experiment. This is really unacceptable! Besides, what if this gene serum has side effects?! Old Terry is already brain dead. Are you going to insult his corpse and beliefs?”
Janson hesitated.
However, Nora seemed to have expected this. She still said casually, “Therefore, I won’t choose Old Terry as my test subject. I’ll use it on someone else first.”
Janson subconsciously asked, “Who?”
“My cousin, Quentin.”
Nora said slowly, word for word, “You all know that my third brother has all his bones broken. With the current medical knowledge, it’s impossible for him to stand up again. The gene serum can definitely treat people who have broken their bones. I’ll inject the gene serum into Quentin today. After observation, if his health improves, I’ll give it to Old Terry. Is that okay?”
Of course!
If she was confident enough to use it on her own brother, why couldn’t it be used on Old Terry?
Janson hurriedly nodded and decided. “Yes!”
Nora looked at Morris again and raised her eyebrows to ask, “Captain Ford, can I?”
She was asking if she could use the gene serum.
Morris looked at Captain Johnson.
Actually, it was illegal for them to use this drug
now.
But to save Old Terry… Morris said in a deep voice, “Yes.”
The matter was settled.
Seeing that he could no longer interrupt, a dark light flashed across Captain Johnson’s eyes.
The people gathered in the hall quickly dispersed. Captain Johnson entered the office with Ruth following behind him. “Captain Johnson, do you need me to help you interrogate Karl and make him confess?” “No, it’s fine.”
Captain Johnson said, “Our best option is to stay put for now!”
He had the absolute advantage. How could he lose?
Besides…
Old Terry’s temple had exploded, and his brain matter had come oozing out. He was already dead. Captain Johnson did not believe that Nora could treat Old Terry. Also, what gene serum… Heh, how could it be so effective?
He was waiting to hear the news of Old Terry’s death and then send Karl to the guillotine. Then, he would make use of this matter to pull Morris down from his seat!
It was really killing three birds with one stone!
However, Ruth reminded her worriedly, “I heard that Nora took Old Terry to the hospital where her medical team is. And she will treat Quentin tonight.”
Captain Johnson sneered. “Okay. Then we’ll wait for her treatment results tomorrow!”
