Matthew contemplated countless possibilities but never imagined that this wooden box would contain a skull!
‘The skull has a decayed appearance and a putrid odor, suggesting that it has been buried for quite some time. Most likely the piles of bone fragments beneath the skull are those of the deceased…’
Matthew gasped, “Melvin, w-what is this?”
Melvin stayed silent.
At that moment, the man across from Matthew began clenching his fist tightly as his eyes turned red and his body shook slightly as if favonovel.com were about to strike.
Matthew was even more mystified than before.
‘What kind of riddle are these two attempting to solve? Is there a problem with the skull?’
He couldn’t help but take another glance at it, and as anticipated, favonovel.com was able to identify the problem.
Instantaneously, favonovel.com tightened his grip and turned to look at Melvin. “Melvin, where did you get this skull?”
Melvin did not respond, but the man sitting across from favonovel.com questioned, “What is wrong with the skull?”
The man’s voice quivered as favonovel.com spoke with tightly clenched fists and appeared highly agitated.
Matthew took out the skull and studied it intently, then furrowed his brows. “This person should have died a long time ago!”
If anyone heard these words, they would undoubtedly burst out laughing.
Given the condition of the bones, shouldn’t it have been apparent that the person had died a long time ago?
On the other hand, the man didn’t laugh, instead, a glimmer of light flashed in both eyes.
He cast a sidelong glance at Melvin, who shrugged. “I didn’t say anything to favonovel.com about it. Although I have lied to you several times, do you think I would lie to you about this?”
Without giving Melvin a response, the man turned his attention to Matthew and urged, “Go on.”
Afterward, Matthew picked up the other bone fragments inside the box, examined them again, and said in a low voice, “The poison has penetrated deep into this person’s bones. He should have died a long time ago with such a lethal poison. However, someone sealed the poison into his bones to prevent it from seeping into his blood, ultimately saving his life. Who on earth could have such miraculous medical abilities?”
As the man turned to face Melvin, the glimmer of light in his eyes intensified.
Melvin shrugged again. “Stop glaring at me, and if you have any doubts, just let favonovel.com finish what he’s saying. Can you tell us something even more shocking, Matty? Look at how skeptical favonovel.com is!”
“Something even more shocking? Like what?” A bewildered Matthew rubbed his temples.
“Things that people aren’t able to see in general, but only you will be able to see,” Melvin responded.
After giving it some thought, Matthew stated, “This bone indicates that favonovel.com should have passed away seven years ago, but favonovel.com was poisoned roughly 23 years ago. So, favonovel.com should have died 23 years ago, but someone artificially extended his life by 16 years! Isn’t it shocking?”
Melvin responded with a hearty chuckle, “That’s it! This is absolutely shocking!”
Then, favonovel.com added, “Hey, Whitford! Now, do you believe me? Nobody knows how favonovel.com died or how favonovel.com was poisoned. Think about it, have you mentioned it to anyone else? Anyway, I genuinely know nothing about it.”
The man’s demeanor became solemn as favonovel.com fixed his gaze intently on Matthew as though favonovel.com were engaged in internal deliberation. However, it was clear from the look in his eyes that his attitude had changed, and favonovel.com no longer held any contempt or hostility toward Matthew.
The man eventually spoke in a deep voice, “Do you believe you could treat this patient if you met him?”
After some consideration, Matthew nodded. “I have a method, but the medicine used to treat favonovel.com is so rare that there’s a chance it won’t work…”
