Chapter 1049: 358, The Most Deadly Commodity of the 1920s
Hearing John's answer, Donnie breathed a slight sigh of relief, could this be God's favor for the brainless?
Based on Donnie's understanding of John, if John truly took interest in this matter, he would certainly try it. As of now, he hasn't...
"No way!" Donnie shouted loudly again: "Swear to me, swear on little John's name, that you absolutely haven't touched radium products!"
"Donnie, what the hell are you doing?" John was scared by Donnie's actions and tried to approach him.
"Stay the hell where you are!" If John wasn't the brother of this body, Donnie would have already pulled the trigger, "Swear, swear to me damn it!"
John truly was frightened by Donnie's actions, and swore: "I swear on little John's name, I absolutely haven't touched them!"
Only then did Donnie breathe a sigh of relief, cautiously approaching John by a few meters, but still keeping a distance he considered safe.
"You haven't used them, have the people around you?" Donnie asked John, then seriously warned, "I'm asking about everyone damn it!"
John shook his head, "What's wrong with you?"
Donnie angrily asked, "Who told you about this? Don't lie to me, I know your brain; you definitely wouldn't think about these things!"
John looked towards the manor with his eyes and said, "Evelyn told me!"
At this moment, the conversation between Donnie and John also attracted the attention of the servants in the manor, who cautiously watched Donnie. Donnie loudly and urgently instructed them.
"Immediately bring Evelyn out for me, and make sure she keeps her distance from the ladies!"
Donnie instructed the house servants, swearing that if Evelyn Melo had really touched radium products, he would not hesitate to shoot her!
Evelyn was called out in a daze from the manor's living room, Alice, Zhan Ning, and Mia kept their distance from Evelyn and also came out, while Helen was now in Atlantic City pleading for the people!
Everyone looked at Donnie curiously, not knowing why Donnie suddenly became so agitated.
Evelyn looked at Donnie with eyes full of fear.
"Stand there and don't move!" Donnie pointed at Evelyn and shouted, "Tell me, have you used radium products?"
Evelyn was scared to tears, little John saw Evelyn in such a state, cried and tried to run over, immediately causing Donnie to order the servants to hold him!
"Answer me!"
"No, I've just been reading newspapers lately, and they're always mentioning the benefits of radium products, so I thought about getting John to invest in this industry!"
Though immensely fearful inside, Evelyn still spoke seriously.
Then Donnie also made Evelyn swear on little John's name to guarantee she hadn't used them.
Seeing Evelyn swear without hesitation, Donnie finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed directly onto the ground.
Seeing Donnie like this truly frightened Alice, Zhan Ning, and Mia; they had never seen Donnie so panic-stricken.
Alice and Zhan Ning supported Mia as they came to Donnie's side.
"What happened?" Alice helped Donnie up immediately, asking in terror.
Donnie held Alice, panting heavily, a response from extreme fear.
"Yeah, what's wrong with radium products? Making you worry so much?" Zhan Ning asked casually.
Donnie immediately looked at Zhan Ning, his eyes full of rage.
Seeing Donnie like this, Zhan Ning quickly said in fear, "I haven't used them either!"
Alice and Mia also instantly told Donnie they hadn't used them either!
This is fucking terrifying!
Donnie arranged for Alice to help him sit on the bench again, looking at John who was concerned yet puzzled. If it weren't for little John being right there, Donnie would have kicked him!
"Donnie, what's going on? Why are you so afraid of radium products?"
John again asked the doubt in his heart.
Donnie panted heavily, saying: "That thing is fucking radioactive!"
"I know it's radioactive!" John said matter-of-factly, "It releases elements beneficial to the body!"
"I..." Donnie couldn't help it and wanted to act.
Before Donnie acted, Evelyn slapped John on the head: "If it's beneficial, would Donnie be like this?"
At this moment, Evelyn also responded in her fear, guessing this thing definitely wasn't good.
"The elements radium emits are fucking carcinogens, if you've used radium products or consumed them, just wait to get cancer!"
Donnie shouted loudly!
Everyone present was terrified upon hearing Donnie's words, only then did they understand why Donnie was so panicked!
In the future, cancer is an incurable disease, let alone now!
Cancer in this era is equivalent to death!
"Donnie, we certainly agree with what you said!" Alice comforted Donnie, "But if radium's emissions truly contain carcinogens, why doesn't anyone know about it now?"
Donnie steadied his breathing, knowing at this moment, there's simply no way to explain this matter, he could only say: "I say it contains them! You damn better remember, if anyone dares to touch radium products, I'll fucking shoot them!"
Never having seen Donnie so out of control, even now none of them could understand the situation, but they comprehended Donnie wasn't lying!
He really might use the gun!
Donnie didn't bother with them but directly walked towards the manor. Previously, Donnie didn't pay attention to this matter or was more preoccupied with other important things pulling his mind, but now upon discovering this issue might involve those close to him and possibly himself.
Donnie knew he had to do something!
