"Whether he listens or not, this time I must take him away."
"I’ve already notified Dr. William and arranged the surgery. We’ll find a way to trick him into coming back to the country. As soon as he arrives, we’ll immediately perform the surgery on him by force."
Jessica nodded, "What’s the success rate for the surgery?"
"This..." Paul sighed, "About 50%, sir... his condition is very special."
Jessica’s brows immediately furrowed, "That low? Then, what if the surgery fails?"
Her question left Paul at a loss for words.
Moses had no family and not many friends; could they really make such a decision for his life without his consent?
If the surgery was successful, everyone would rejoice, but if it failed, who would be responsible for his life?
"Maybe..." Jessica said softly, "we should tell Gaia?"
Although she had just spoken harshly to Gan Yuan, Jessica knew that Gan Yuan actually had very deep feelings for Moses. Otherwise, under the circumstances of the previous day, she wouldn’t have let everyone off the hook—this was a huge favor.
To assassinate Huangfu Jue, to abduct Gan Tang... To let it all slide, could this be possible if the person involved wasn’t Moses?
After pondering for a moment, Paul nodded lightly, "Sir cares about her a lot. If we tell her the truth, or perhaps..."
He stopped mid-sentence and closed his mouth, staring behind Jessica with a tense expression. Noticing his gaze, Jessica quickly turned around and also tensed up upon seeing the figure standing not far behind.
Moses squinted his eyes, watching the man and woman before him, his face showing restrained anger. Just when Jessica and Paul thought he was going to explode, the man spoke in a low voice.
"In ten days, I’ll go back with you for the surgery. But, my condition is, don’t tell Gaia!"
In another week, it would be the internal party election, and by then Gan Yuan would be able to disclose the campaign materials. As long as he saw her successfully entering the race, he could be temporarily at ease.
These past few days, he could feel that his body was somewhat failing him. If he delayed any further, he might not have the chance to help her anymore.
Joy appeared on Paul’s face, and Jessica rushed over to hug him.
"This is wonderful, sir. It’s so good that you agreed..." She stopped in mid-sentence and looked up, "You... You’re not just lying to us, are you?"
"Release me!" Moses said coldly.
"I’m sorry!" Jessica hurriedly withdrew her arms and gave him a sheepish smile, "I... I was too happy, so... please don’t be angry!"
Moses gave her a sideways glance, "I’m not planning on dying yet!"
"What dying? It’s just a surgery, a small matter of making an incision in the chest." Jessica said cheerfully, coming over to support his arm, "You’re definitely in the successful half."
Moses raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you’re saying, there’s only a 50% chance of success?"
Jessica wished she could slap herself; she was so foolish to blurt out the truth.
Moses glanced at her indifferently, "There’s something you guys got wrong."
Jessica and Paul both looked at her with confusion, only to see the man turn and walk towards the main building not far off.
"I don’t have just Gaia as a relative."
Considering how much they were looking out for him, they should count as his relatives, too.
Jessica turned her face to look at Paul.
"Then... who else is there?"
Paul paused, realizing what was meant, and his lips lifted in a smile.
"Us?" Jessica frowned, thinking for a moment before she understood, her face breaking into a smile. She immediately hugged Paul, "Paul, this is great, he finally agreed."
