Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: I Have No Other Choice Either
Now, the rumors about Seymour outside have become so exaggerated, it’s downright absurd, with gossip flying everywhere.
Some people say that Roy Saxon is already dead.
Although Scarlett knows this is just a rumor, the speed at which it spreads is incredibly fast, requiring no cost, and in one night, an unverified piece of fake news can become known throughout the city.
Scarlett is certain that Roy Saxon is still alive.
But whether he is indeed recovering well, as Matthew Saxon said, is quite questionable.
Matthew Saxon’s expression suddenly became much more serious.
"How is Uncle Saxon really doing, tell me quickly. Didn’t you say we shouldn’t have any more deception or secrets between us?" Scarlett became anxious.
Seeing Matthew Saxon’s reaction, it seemed Roy Saxon’s condition was not good.
"Scarlett, Dad’s condition is a bit unusual." Matthew Saxon frowned, appearing to be considering the most accurate way to express his thoughts, "The poison in his body has been neutralized, and a while ago, his body was indeed slowly recovering. I thought he would be able to make it back to attend our wedding, but a week ago, he suddenly fell into a coma."
"The doctors examined him and found that the toxins, which should have been completely cleared from his body, had become active again."
"This time, the toxins in his body are more difficult to handle than before. The doctors haven’t been able to find a solution yet, so he’s still in a coma."
"How could this be?" Scarlett was taken aback.
Matthew Saxon shook his head with a bitter smile, "They haven’t found the specific cause yet. Although he is not currently in any life-threatening danger, if they don’t find a solution, he will remain in this comatose state indefinitely."
This implies that if no solution is found, Roy Saxon could potentially become a vegetable.
"So, you think Alice Green might know of a solution?" This really isn’t good news. Just the thought of Roy Saxon possibly becoming a vegetable made Scarlett feel uneasy.
However, she seriously doubted Alice Green had any solution at all.
The doctors treating Roy Saxon were internationally renowned, and even they were currently at a loss. What reliable information could Alice Green possibly have?
Yet in such situations, most people tend to clutch at straws.
Whether true or false, Matthew Saxon couldn’t possibly refuse.
"Scarlett, she was the one who managed to get the medicine at that time. If she could get the medicine, she might be able to get the antidote. At this point, I have no other choice."
"If—I mean if—she lies to you, claiming she has the antidote?" This possibility also existed. With Alice Green’s despicable means, what wouldn’t she do?
If she used false information as a bargaining chip, if her bargaining condition was for Matthew Saxon to marry her...
The more Scarlett thought about it, the more her mind became clogged, her chest felt heavy, and she found it hard to breathe.
Matthew Saxon noticed her unease, touched her head, and gently kissed her forehead, "I can tell what’s real or fake. Don’t worry, it’s not that easy to deceive me."
But when people are anxious, they don’t view issues as clearly or rationally. Scarlett’s lips moved a couple of times, but the words that reached her lips ultimately remained unsaid.
