My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 760 - Next Steps

When those words were finished, Doctor Lucas paused for a moment.

He considered those words and saw the serious expression of the Widjaya family, and added. "Both are symptoms that currently affect him a lot. Also, his entire body... has been burned extensively. The back is full of burn marks. I only got a glimpse of the back of his neck. I need to diagnose it for a while. Because there is a convex area on the back of his head near the cervical spine, I feel a lump in it, unlike ordinary cervical spondylosis. I'm worried...."

James suddenly asked in a high voice, "What are you worried about? Say it quickly!"

Doctor Lucas pursed the corners of his mouth. "I'm afraid it might be lymph. To check it, it's best to take him to do an MRI examination!"

As his words fell, there was a deathly silence throughout the living room.

Everyone expected Jack's condition to be less than optimistic, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

James stood with his hands on his chest, looking at the closed bedroom door, his hands clenched into fists.

'My brother... How can this be!'

At this time, no one spoke, and Doctor Lucas could only look at them blankly, feeling a strong sympathy for Jack.

He didn't know what kind of disaster he had been through that he was so seriously injured.

He used to be a surgeon, and even in the hospital, he rarely came across such a wound-ridden patient.

Jack's body could have made him a walking corpse...

It could be said that he didn't have any chance to sustain his life, and if not a torment, how else could they word out his life that was full of suffering?

"Then… Is there a cure?"

Chris couldn't help but ask, he looked at Doctor Lucas vaguely, and expressed everyone's curiosity.

Doctor Lucas met his gaze and shook his head incoherently. "This is already the best treatment to maintain his stable condition and relieve the pain he is enduring. He has severe scoliosis. If he is undergoing treatment then he will need to treat his entire back. Steel nails will be placed in the spine and we will straighten his back. The pain he will feel will be like hellish torments. Including his deformed leg bones, the bones must be cut and reattached for treatment..."

Every word he spoke hurt everyone's eardrums.

As time passed, James suddenly turned around, and his extreme tolerance made his face look a bit gruesome. "Jean, don't you have a friend who is very skilled in medicine, can you..."

Before the words were finished, Jean replied in a low voice, "He's coming soon!"

It seemed that the only hope was to wait for a miracle that Vincent could perform.

Lilia bit the corner of her mouth and watched this scene. When she turned her gaze downwards, she could see that Jean's palms were also clenched into fists.

Vincent was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, but… the wounds on Jack's body, even if Vincent was a God, would be impossible to cure.

Tonight was destined to be a very long night.

...

That night, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest, and only members of the Widjaya family remained in a solemn atmosphere outside Jack's room.

Doctor Lucas has rushed back to Surabaya with his medical staff. He plans to call experts in various fields in Indonesia for consultations.

It was late at night, and the darkness outside the window was much darker.

"Jean, go back to your room and rest with Lilia. Now that she is pregnant, don't make her too tired." Irene whispered while leaning on the sofa with a tired expression.

Hearing that voice, Lilia shook her head, got up and walked beside her, and grabbed her arm as she sat down. "Sister, I'm not tired! It's still early, I will accompany you!"

Irene looked with relief in her eyes. She then covered the back of Lilia's hand with her slightly cold fingertips. "Lilia, I know you care about me, but right now is an important period for your pregnancy. Jack's situation won't be resolved for a while. You and Jean should not worry too much about it. The Ricardo family matters aren't completely resolved either, so you should go back and rest. The two of us will discuss precautions for you guys."

Lilia wanted to hold on, but James had preceded her. "Go back, your sister-in-law and I will also rest for a while."

"Jean, I will not forgive what the Ricardo family did to us. If your kidnapping really involves Mrs. Florence, I will take this to court!" He added with rage.

Thanks to his brother, James was able to find out the truth. As the head of the Widjaya family, he could not easily forgive the Ricardo family.

At this moment, Jean was standing in front of the window with his back to everyone, so it was impossible to see his expression.

The man was silent for a moment, and when he slowly turned around, his tone was very calm. "How about asking for clarification?"

James was surprised, his eyes narrowed. "Even if they wanted to explain, I wouldn't believe it. That old lady is just talking nonsense, how dare she go against our family after stealing so much from us?! They really do not understand their position before us!" His tone was full of rage.

Lilia stared at him for a moment, and she remembers that her brother-in-law is shy and awkward. Still, he's technically the ruler of the Wijaya Family today!

He did not hesitate, it seemed like he was about to attack the Ricardo family.

After seeing this, Jean didn't insist anymore. When he took Lilia up from the sofa, he left with a warning. "I won't go against you, but big brother… don't let yourself turn into something you despise!"

Hearing this, Irene smiled. "Jean, don't worry, your big brother is just bragging as usual, how could he do that!"'

She knows her husband very well!

Jean nodded, pulled Lilia and left James and Irene's room.

After they left, Irene felt relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

She looked at James and asked, "Are you really going to deal with the Ricardo family?"

James snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Irene raised her eyebrows and her hand then rubbed her sore forehead. "I know you plan to vent your anger for your brother. But Jean's words are a bit true, we'd better ask them for an explanation!"

"Besides, many things happened in the past. If you attack the Ricardo family now, wouldn't that be a double edged sword? We may know the reason, but the outside world knows nothing. The old lady's reputation is still very good to this day, so if you really attack her, it will not benefit our reputation."

When he heard it, James fell silent.

Irene slightly turned her head to the side, saw his wrinkled face and persuaded him, "James, we can handle the Ricardo family, but you have to understand the consequences. I won't let you vent your anger over hearing about Jean's kidnapping, but if there really is something that needs to be done then we need to be careful. You can see Jean's indifferent attitude towards this. After so many years, he was willing to let go of his kidnapping case. Why do you have to worry about that again?"

James turned his eyes calmly, noticing his wife's concern. He frowned and snorted coldly. "I can't help this hatred!"
