Instantly, Justin could taste the stench of blood in the back of his throat. His organs felt like they were


    immersed in a vat of medicinal concoction. He felt so bitter that he couldn''t say a word.


    "As per my knowledge, there is no drug that can heal mental disorders. At most, it can only be


    controlled. If the patient takes too much medicine, they would be lethargic and lose the will to do


    anything."


    Alyssa shook her head in disbelief. "If drugs were useful, Lauren would have healed from her


    depression."


    "Ms. Alyssa is right, but that only applies to this country." Justin exined patiently and gently, "In the


    past two years, Mosgravia has been researching a drug to control the symptoms of mental disorders.


    Although it''s still a supplementary drug, its effects are much better than our local drugs.


    "Afterward, let Mr. Landon spend more time to apany Lauren. Let her feelpletely supported


    with love and care. I believe that Lauren''s condition will improve vastly, which would work better than


    electroconvulsive therapy.


    "To sum it up, patients with mental disorders need to feel loved. The more, the better."


    Javier nodded. "Justin, this makes a lot of sense!"


    Despite Alyssa being very rational, her gaze was chilly.


    "Justin, forgive me for being blunt, but I''m doubtful about using drugs, especially drugs from foreign


    countries. After all, it will be consumed by the patient, and if there are any issues, it might bring


    irreversible harm to their body.


    "Previously, my father suffered from cerebral infarction. If he continued with the approved treatment, he


    would have recovered. But to let himself heal faster, he consumed drugs given by someone who


    wanted to harm him. Then, there were serious side effects that even made him lose control of his


    urination.


    "I do not wish for the same awful fate to befall Lauren. Lauren is like a sister to me. I cannot take this


    risk."


    "Ms. Alyssa, I understand your worries."


    Justin pursed his lips lightly. The gentleness in his gaze did not lessen. "Hence, I will take the drug with


    Lauren. Whatever her dosage is, I will take the same. Would that be eptable?"


    The other four were stunned!


    "Justin, you, what are you doing?"


    Javier felt extremely worried, and he immediately rejected this idea. "Are you out of your mind? You


    aren''t even suffering from the same disorder. How can you simply take the same drugs? No, that''s out


    of the question!"


    Alyssa was confused. She never thought that Justin would be so foolhardy as to test the drugs himself!


    Moreover, his only reason was to ease her worries!


    "All these years, the types of drugs I''ve taken must number up to a thousand or at least a few hundred.


    What does it matter if I take one more drug?"


    Justin had no trace of displeasure on his face; instead, he looked rxed about it. "Ipletely


    understand where Ms. Alyssa ising from. After all, your father went through such suffering before,


    so your worries are valid.


    "Alright, it''s settled. In three days, I will get Sheryl to send over the drugs. As the eldest brother, I wish


    for nothing other than Lauren''s recovery."


    After their conversation, Justin opted not to intrude further on the couple''s moment. With Sheryl''s


    arrival, they swiftly departed from the hospital, leaving the couple to their privacy.


    On the way back to Seaview Manor, Justin calmly recounted to Sheryl what happened at the hospital.


    Sheryl was shocked, and she nearly shrieked, "Mr. Justin! How can you do this? How could you harm


    your body like that?"


    "You''re so noisy." Justin''s defined eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    Truly, it wasn''t fair topare one person with another.


    In his mind, he recalled Alyssa''s breathtaking, beautiful eyes and her elegant and mature charm. She


    exuded a unique, mesmerizing allure that made men submit to her willingly.


    Inparison, Sheryl, whom he painstakingly molded, looked increasingly like a y doll that a child


    clumsily kneaded.


    Sheryl shrank back and lowered her gaze in submission. "I... I was just worried about your health. The


    drug you mentioned hasn''t passed the final clinical trial in our research center. Although it is effective,


    we cannot predict what side effects it may have. If you take this drug, I''m afraid."


    "If I didn''t suggest to do so, they would never ept my offer. But if I did, then they are doubly indebted


    to me."


    "But still. it''s too risky."


    "There is always a price to pay for sess. Did I not tell you this from the beginning?"


    Justin smiled mysteriously and looked out the window. "This time, we''ll be theb rats. We''ll get


    through this safely if my sister and I are lucky. If not, then I, her brother, will apany her. Is that not


    so?"


    Sheryl bit her bottom lip, still feeling nervous about it.


    "Ms. Alyssa is different from our past opponents."

    Justin closed his eyes, his smile still as mysterious as ever. "She is smart, tough, brave, and cautious.


    Every plot has its risks. Hence, to conquer her, the best weapon is sincerity."
