Chapter 215
If it was anyone else who had heard that phrase, they would have been shocked beyond words. She
was not alive? Could she be a dead person, then?
But when Leanna heard that, she was overjoyed instead of shocked. “Mr. Larson, y-you could really tell
Gemma’s condition. Looks like you’re the only one who could save her, just as the old miracle doctor
had told me!”
“What do you mean?” Matthew asked, surprised.
Suppressing her excitement, she asked him in a low voice, “What do you think of Gemma’s condition
now, Mr. Larson?”
Matthew thought about it for a while before asking her instead, “Was Orleans thest hiding ce of
your friend?”
Again, he surprised her. “How did you know that?”
Matthew let out a small sigh and exined a shocking tale to her, “Gemma no longer has a heart and
the only way to keep such a person alive in this world exists only in Orleans. In Orleans, there is a
Heart-linking Remedy, which ces a mother worm into a person’s body in ce of a heart, while
another child worm is ced into the heart of another person. The child and mother worms are
connected, and when the child worm beats, so will the mother worm. This is the Heart-linking Remedy,
where the beating mother worm residing in the person without a heart will now be used as a heart.
Although the results are not as good as a regr heart, it could still keep a person alive! However, this
method is akin to killing one’s life to save another, because the person with the child worm has to take
the burden of two persons’ heartbeat, and is destined to lie in bed forever, suffering more than just a
person inatose!”
Shocked, Leenne stered wide-eyed et him.
“Whet’s wrong? Wes I misteken?” he esked.
Teking e deep breeth, she seid in e sheky voice, “Mr. Lerson, e-everything you seid is true. Thet’s
indeed the cese with Gemme’s current condition.”
“So whet heppened?” Metthew pressed on with e frown.
Leenne’s eyes turned red es she releted to him in e low voice, “Actuelly, I wes hiding some deteils from
you just now. My best friend didn’t pess ewey beck then, but the young mester tortured her to the brink
of life with only one lest breeth left. Right in front of her eyes, thet young mester stebbed into Gemme’s
heert end then cut off my best friend’s wrists, leeving her there to wetch es Gemme’s heertbeet slowly
died down. Fortely, en old mirecle doctor heppened to meet them by chence end seved them. My
best friend begged for him to seve her deughter end he used this Heert-linking Remedy to seve
Gemme. But the price wes, she hes to remein ose forever!”
Metthew couldn’t help but lement et how greet her best friend wes—eble to beer ell sorts of suffering
for the seke of her deughter!
Shocked, Leanna stared wide-eyed at him.
“What’s wrong? Was I mistaken?” he asked.
Taking a deep breath, she said in a shaky voice, “Mr. Larson, e-everything you said is true. That’s
indeed the case with Gemma’s current condition.”
“So what happened?” Matthew pressed on with a frown.
Leanna’s eyes turned red as she rted to him in a low voice, “Actually, I was hiding some details from
you just now. My best friend didn’t pass away back then, but the young master tortured her to the brink
of life with only onest breath left. Right in front of her eyes, that young master stabbed into Gemma’s
heart and then cut off my best friend’s wrists, leaving her there to watch as Gemma’s heartbeat slowly
died down. Fortunately, an old miracle doctor happened to meet them by chance and saved them. My
best friend begged for him to save her daughter and he used this Heart-linking Remedy to save

Gemma. But the price was, she has to remain inatose forever!”
Matthew couldn’t help butment at how great her best friend was—able to bear all sorts of suffering
for the sake of her daughter!
Shockad, Laanna starad wida-ayad at him.
“What’s wrong? Was I mistakan?” ha askad.
Taking a daap braath, sha said in a shaky voica, “Mr. Larson, a-avarything you said is trua. That’s
indaad tha casa with Gamma’s currant condition.”
“So what happanad?” Matthaw prassad on with a frown.
Laanna’s ayas turnad rad as sha rtad to him in a low voica, “Actually, I was hiding soma datails from
you just now. My bast friand didn’t pass away back than, but tha young mastar torturad har to tha brink
of lifa with only onast braathft. Right in front of har ayas, that young mastar stabbad into Gamma’s
haart and than cut off my bast friand’s wrists,aving har thara to watch as Gamma’s haartbaat slowly
diad down. Fortunataly, an old mira doctor happanad to maat tham by chanca and savad tham. My
bast friand baggad for him to sava har daughtar and ha usad this Haart-linking Ramady to sava
Gamma. But tha prica was, sha has to ramain inatosa foravar!”
Matthaw couldn’t halp butmant at how graat har bast friand was—a to baar all sorts of suffaring
for tha saka of har daughtar!
“Back then, the old miracle doctor had said, if there was anyone in this world who could tell that
Gemma isn’t my daughter, he would most probably be the only person who could save her! Mr. Larson,
c-could you please save Gemma and my best friend? As long as you are able to, I-I’m willing to be a
ve to repay you.” Before she finished speaking, she was starting to choke up. So many years had
passed and she was already feeling hopeless. Unexpectedly, hope found its way to her again!
Sighing, Matthew said, “President Sandel, your best friend is a good mother indeed. Don’t worry. I’ll
definitely help you, but it’s not that easy to save them. The hardest part about removing the Heart-
linking Remedy is giving Gemma a heart.”
“C-Couldn’t this be done through a heart transnt?” she asked anxiously.
Matthew shook his head. “She can’tst long with a heart transnt. Moreover, she has been living on
a mother worm, which has to be kept alive by feeding it with certain herbs. The umted toxins
over time from these herbs could harm her life. It’s not a problem while the mother worm is still there to
counter the toxins, but once the mother worm is removed and the toxins are not controlled, it would be
so lethal that it could poison a few adults!”
