Chapter 710 Crazy Idea
He gradually stopped what he was doing and narrowed his eyes at her. His lips were pursed as a
displeased look spread across his face.
“Is that really what you think? After all that we''ve been through, this is what ites down to?”
Veronique turned away slightly.
She genuinely wished Scarlett was carrying his child. That way, he could be saved.
The more time she spent with him, the more she understood his thoughts, and her certainty that he
would take his own life after her death also intensified. How can I bring myself to let him do that? He''s
still so young. With his exceptional medical skills, he undoubtedly has a bright future ahead. I cannot
drag him down with me and cause his life to end so early.
Veronique knew nothing she said could persuade Justin otherwise. Even if he promised her he would
live well, as soon as she expired, she was sure he would immediately follow suit. I''m too familiar with
his personality.
“Justin, I suppose I must be an unforgivable sinner in your parents'' eyes. I can''t me them for thinking
that. After all, they''ve spent so many years and effort to nurture their son until he could finally make
them proud. Unfortunately, he was ultimately burdened by me, so their hatred toward me ispletely
justifiable. Nevertheless, I don''t want to ruin the Xuereb family''s hope, so please promise me you''ll live
well. Even after I''m gone, you must live on and raise Zephyr. Can you do that for me?”
Justin slumped down on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat dejected as he sighed. “Why are you
forcing me like this? You should know that, in a world without you, I will only live on like a walking
corpse. Only by dying can I bepletely free from this torment.”
Crash!
Veronique knocked over the water ss on the bedside table and gazed at him with an agonized
expression, sobbing, “I don''t want you to perish alongside me.”
“He won''t be doing that because you may not die, after all.”
A man''s nonchnt voice sounded at the door. Justin and Veronique instinctively turned to look in that
direction.
“Zain Bryne? Are you Bailey''s disciple?”
Zain nodded slightly and replied in a t tone, “I''ve been staying in yourboratory for almost a month,
yet you''ve never taken notice of me, Mr. Xuereb. It seems I still have a long way to go before
Justin slowly got to his feet and walked toward the door. “I''ve asionally heard of your name on the
global tform, but I never expected you to be Bailey''s mentee. I wonder what you meant when you

mentioned Veronique may not have to die, Mr. Bryne? Don''t tell me you''ve developed an anticancer
medication?”
Zain arched his brow. “Anticancer medications can only slow down the spread of the cancer cells, not
solve the problem fundamentally. However, I do have a method topletely eradicate Ms. Revelle''s
illness.”
Eradicate the illness? Justin sized Zain up and smiled. “You''re quite confident for a young man. I doubt
even your mentor would dare to say such a thing. Even the new anticancer medication she
sessfully developed a few months ago could only prevent the spread of cancer cells, notpletely
terminate the root cause.”
Zain wasn''t infuriated after listening to Justin''s doubtful remarks. Instead, he uttered casually, “Using
poison to fight poison is an essential part of the study of medicine. We can also attempt a simr
approach by targeting cancer cells with cancer cells.”
Justin raised his brows as a hint of surprise shed across his eyes. He wiped the smile off his face
and asked solemnly, “How do you n on achieving that?”
“It''s simple. We''ll transnt a different type of cancer cell into her body, then use drugs to catalyze their
growth, allowing the two strains of cancerous cells to attain mutual enhancement and inhibition. I figure
there are two possible oues in the end. First, the two types of cancer cells will merge, in which
case her death will be inevitable. Second, the two types of cancer cells will destroy each other, and
she''ll ultimately be cured of this terminal disease.”
Justin''s eyelids twitched after he heard the exnation. This method is unheard of and can even be
considered wildly imaginative. We''re not filming a superhero movie or writing a fantasy story where the
main character will never die no matter what happens. “Young man, you''re still too naive and haven''t
grasped the importance of life to a medical practitioner. Experimenting with human lives is something I
don''t suppose your mentor taught you. It would be best if you go back and reflect on yourself to avoid
going astray. Ultimately, that will only bring harm to yourself and others.”
Zain merely grinned in silence and shifted his attention to Veronique. “Are you willing to die just like
that, Ms. Revelle?”
Veronique pursed her lips. No, I''m not. That''s why...
She propped herself up on the bed and said with a hoarse voice, “I was also a medical student. After
listening to your boration, I think what you suggested is ridiculous, but miracles happen in the field of
medicine all the time. Perhaps we can give it a try. Let me ask you this. What is the probability of
survival?”
Zain answered, “Fifty percent, since the idea of countering poison with poison also has a sess rate
of fifty percent. Hence, it''s an even chance between life and death. Whether you can survive depends
on your luck.”
Eradicate the illness? Justin sized Zain up and smiled. “You''re quite confident for a young man. I doubt
even your mentor would dare to say such a thing. Even the new anticancer medication she
sessfully developed a few months ago could only prevent the spread of cancer cells, notpletely
terminate the root cause.”
Justin narrowed his eyes at Veronique and chimed in solemnly, “Don''t take this crazy idea seriously.”
Staring at him, Veronique retorted, “What is my survival rate if I don''t take his suggestion? Perhaps
even lesser than five percent? Following his method, I''ll get an even chance between life and death,
and I consider that a win, so why can''t I take the idea seriously?”
Justin was stunned. Maybe I should meet with Bailey and question her about this young man''s
background.
Noticing Justin had fallen silent, Veronique turned to look at Zain and chirped, “We''ll do as you say. You
can imnt a different type of cancer cell into my body at any time. If you can cure my condition, you''ll
be the pioneer in this field.”
Zain spread his hands indifferently. “Fame and fortune are not what I''m after. I just like taking risks. Still,
I should advise you not to celebrate too early because I cannot aplish a treatment n like this
alone. I need somebody else to assist me.”
“Who is that? Is having the help of a renowned doctor like your mentor insufficient? I doubt anyone in
this world can match your mentor''s medical skills.”
“I''m not seeking assistance in medical skills. Instead, I''m looking for someone adept at developing
toxins. As I mentioned, we need to catalyze the growth of the foreign cancerous cells using a drug, and
this drug I refer to is a toxin. Many years of clinical trials have shown us traditional medicines are
ineffective in catalyzing the elimination of cancer cells. In that case, we''ll overthrow all those theories.
Instead of using drugs, we''ll use poison.”
Justin parted his lips and was about to argue, but Veronique stopped him by shooting him an icy look.
“Developing toxins? If one were to ask who has the most expertise in that area, the answer would have
to be the Yablon family, a prestigious family specializing in creating poisons. The legendary Soul
Reaper, the world''s first peculiar and incurable poison, was invented by a talented member of the
Yablon family. Are you nning to ask us to request help from the Yablon family to work with you?”
Zain arched his brow. “Beautiful women are indeed intelligent. You''re right. I''m seeking the assistance
of a member of the Yablon family, specifically Cameron Yablon, the heir of the household. He''s a
poison-making aficionado. If you can convince him to coborate with me, I guarantee you''ll have a
seventy percent chance to survive.”
Seventy percent? The inclusion of the heir of the Yablon family alone can increase the sess rate by
twenty percent?
Justin gradually regained hisposure and asked with a frown, “Does Bailey know about this idea?”
