Chapter 928 Intractable Diseases
As he was consoling her, he noticed that she was still clenching her fingers, so he gently placed his hand over hers.
Nevertheless, Emmeline listened to his words and was dubious about it.
In a low voice, she uttered. "Jara, don't lie to me. If it was not a big deal then why is your expression like this?"
She knew Jara well. Both of them had been through thick and thin. He was the kind of person who would remain calm even if there was an earthquake. However, at this moment, he did not look good at all.
Jara lowered his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, there was a gentle smile on his face.
Looking up, he stroked her hair and whispered. "Okay. I'll admit. There is a small problem, but believe me, it can be solved. When we go back, the doctor will perform a full-body examination on you and begin the treatment. You will be fine soon, okay?"
After all, Emmeline was a smart woman.
Even though he had tried his best to look normal, she could still faintly sense the seriousness of the matter.
But she didn't say it out loud and just nodded her head.
"Alright."
Because of this episode, the banquet in the afternoon and the after-party seemed to be a little dull.
Jara and Emmeline didn't even attend the after-party. After having lunch with the guests, Jara left with Emmeline.
Guests who wished to stay longer on the island were welcomed, and those who did not want to stay could leave by plane.
It could be concluded that this wedding began with high spirits and ended with low spirits.
However, most of the guests did not know what exactly had happened. After all, only a few people who were very close to Jara were present when Emmeline got into trouble and when Luca said those words. The others were all in the banquet hall.
Even so, the actions of the bride and groom alone were enough for them to detect something.
Therefore, most of the guests chose to leave in the afternoon.
While Quan escorted Jara and Emmeline back to the castle, Uncle Poick stayed behind to take care of the guests' departure.
Uncle Poick was calm and experienced, so he was very good at dealing with sudden situations like this.
In the meantime, in the castle.
Jara called for the most authoritative doctor who resided here to do a full-body examination for Emmeline.
On the other hand, Anderson, Isaac, and the others were not in a hurry to leave. After all, at this critical moment, no one knew what had happened to Emmeline's body.
Although they were not friends in the past, they had become comrades after working together to fight against the enemy a while ago.
The examination took three hours to finish.
Immediately, Jara looked at the doctor and asked, "How is it?"
The doctor's brows were knitted tightly, and his expression did not look optimistic.
"A few hours ago, various tissues, organs, and even brain blood vessels in her body have indeed contracted and degenerated. Luca didn't lie to you."
When the doctor's words came out, Jara gave a violent shudder and clenched his fists.
However, Emmeline, who was sitting on the bed, looked surprisingly calm.
In a low voice, she asked "Why am I like this?"
The doctor thought for a long time and shook his head.
"To tell you the truth, this is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a case. I have never seen it in books either. Miss Illington is in the prime of her life. Theoretically, even if she is ill, it should only affect a certain part of her body, but I really have never seen this happening all over her body at the same time, and I can't find the reason for it for the time being."
When she heard the doctor's explanation, Emmeline's face turned pale.
Then, Jara said coldly, "You can't find the cause? Or is it because you're incapable of finding the cause?"
There was a hint of anger in his voice.
The doctor was financially supported by Jara. For that reason, he had been indebted to Jara in his early years and had achieved great medical skills. In addition, he was unwilling to work in the hospital as he wanted to focus on his research in medicine. Therefore, Jara brought him to the castle and built a laboratory for him so that he could do what he wanted to do.
However, now that Jara's wife was in great danger and he couldn't even find out a single reason?
For that, he was also very ashamed of himself.
After being silent for a moment, he uttered. "Mr. Holland, give me a few days. I'll try my best to find out the cause of Miss Illington's sickness."
Meanwhile, Jara's cheeks tensed up. Then, Emmeline pulled at the corner of his sleeve and said to the doctor, "Okay, I'll have to trouble you then."
"Not at all," replied the doctor before picking up his things and left.
After he left, Emmeline looked at Jara and said with a smile, "Why are you lashing out at him? Doctors are not Gods. There are countless diseases in this world. Does he has to know all of them?"
Surprisingly, she was in a good state of mind, but in turn, Jara's heart was pounding.
In his mind, he recalled what Luca had told him—she had the Marsh family's bloodline. It was a disease that could not be cured. With the thought in mind, he felt pain in his chest and was hardly able to breathe.
Suddenly, he looked at Emmeline and asked, "Do you still remember who your biological father is?"
Upon hearing the question, Emmeline was stunned.
She didn't expect he would change the topic so quickly.
After some thought, she shook her head. "I don't remember. Ever since I have memory, I've been living with my mother. Later on, she remarried to the Murray family. Afterward, I have been following Grandpa Farrington. Why are you asking this?"
When Jara heard her answer, his brow furrowed tightly.
In the end, he did not tell Emmeline the truth and only tried to comfort her. "Nothing. Are you tired? Would you like to take a nap?"
After going through three hours of body examination, Emmeline was indeed feeling tired.
Thus, she nodded and Jara coaxed her to sleep. Only after she had fallen asleep did he get up and leave.
Downstairs.
Anderson and the rest had heard about the diagnosis result from the doctor.
Looking at Jara's gloomy face as he came down from the stairs, they felt sorry for him.
After all, who would have thought that such a piece of bad news would happen on such a happy day?
Anderson walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, consoling him. "Don't be discouraged. With the advancement of medical science and technology right now, there aren't any diseases that can't be cured. I'll send Sienna over tomorrow. He's very knowledgeable about intractable diseases. He might be a good help."
In the past, Jara would definitely not have accepted his help.
But now, he did not refuse. Instead, he nodded his head.
"Thank you very much. I'll remember this."
Anderson returned the gesture with a smile and did not take his word to heart. Seeing that it was getting late and that they were in a rush to return to Ascijan, they bid farewell to the newlyweds and left.
By the time they had all left, it was near dusk. Uncle Poick had also returned.
Respectfully, he reported to Jara about the guest's situation. Then, he asked with concern, "Is Mrs. Holland alright?"
In a deep voice, Jara replied, "We haven't found out anything for the time being."
Upon receiving the news, Uncle Poick was stunned.
He could not believe what he had just heard.
Others might not know, but he knew that the doctors in the castle were the best in the world. Now, not to mention there was no treatment, but they didn't even know the cause of the illness. Wasn't that a joke?
