Janice saw through Reina’s malicious intent immediately. She smiled faintly, her tone calm and confident. “Rest assured, Mr. Gomez Mr. Warren’s illness has been completely cured. There won’t be any relapse. Of course, if you have any doubts, you’re welcome to invite another doctor for verification.
