Alicia accompanied her dad the whole way, and only turned her attention to Marshall when she went back to the office. Marshall gave her a cup of water. "Don't worry, the results need some time to be released! Now, tell me, what is going on?" He said.

"I'm not hiding anything. It is exactly as what I've told you! I don't know what is going on either..."

After closing the door, Alicia asked anxiously, "How is it? What exactly is the issue?"

"From the films and the results, so far everything is normal! However, something... unknown is found in his bloodstream!"

Because it was listed as a private and confidential matter, this report was not saved. It was specially labelled and the doctors filled in the report according to what he had given.

"Something unknown?" Alicia muttered, her vision suddenly became blur.

"In that case, is there any way to treat it?" She asked.

However, from the data I have collected so far, it can be identified as some kind of mercury poison. This could lead to numbing of the nerves, slower reflexes, and it also damages internal organs. In the long run, the kidneys would be seriously affected. Mercury poisoning is usually a very slow threat. It is only after it accumulates into a large amount, then it will cause a reaction.
