Chapter 417 Her Life, Worthless

• Elise thought Joseph was under someone's control, but she never thought he'd be in such a dire situation. She looked at him, but she felt no signs of life. "Is he dead?" she asked solemnly.
• She hid her feelings well, but Alexander could still tell that she and Joseph shared a deep bond. It was the first time Elise showed so much care to another man in front of him. For some reason, it felt like someone was squeezing his heart, and he felt frustrated. "There's no reason for anyone to take his body away," he said calmly. "The coffin has a temperature control mechanism built in, and he has ample oxygen supply. He's just in a fake death state."
• Elise nodded and went up to open the coffin. When she performed a quick check, she realized Joseph's condition was far worse than she imagined. The tendons in his limbs were broken, and he was in a coma because of some substance in his body. He seemed fine, but she knew he was a hair's breadth away from death. She didn't know what kind of substance was in his body, but she knew he had to have a surgery performed on him as soon as possible.
