He was almost certain that Zachary and Russell were here to swindle money.It seemed that the Jacob family's financial power was currently under Madison's father. Christiant's why Zachary used such a trick, actually using his own grandfather to satisfy his own selfish interests!
"Ten million dollars? Are you genuinely asking that amount? Money is not an issue. As long as you cure Jesse, I guarantee that you won't miss a penny. However, before he's cured, you won't get asingle cent!"Madison obviously understood Zachary' little tricks and couldn't possibly be fooled!
"What're you saying, Madison? Do you not want to save Jesse?" Zachary suddenly became furious. He needed that one hundred million to live a luxurious life!
“Can I see Joe Baker?" Westfield suddenly spoke up, asking Madison.
The closer they were to the old man, the strong the bead's energy was.Since they were so close, Westfield also wanted to see the situation here!
"You want to see Jesse?” Madison was instantly stunned by his words.
“Westfield, do you know medicine?” Ridgeland looked at Westfield with a puzzled expression,tilting her head.
"Just a little bit!" Westfield casually lied, saying he just wanted to take a look and wouldn't make a mess.
Zachary stared at Westfield mockingly,"What's this joke? Do you think you're a miracle doctor? So many doctors couldn't treat him, and now you want to check on him? You'll be responsible if anything goes wrong, you know?"
"If your friend can treat Jesse, then why can't mine? Westfield, go ahead and take a look. Even if you can't figure anything out, it wouuldn't make a difference!” Hearing this, everyone present was shocking, thinking that they had misheard! “Westfield, are you really sure you can detoxify him?" Ridgeland asked with concern. Madison was initially slightly hesitant, but after hearing Zachary' words,she wanted to anger him! In any case, Westfield was just taking a look. Even if he couldn't discern anything, it would be fine.
Zachary snorted with an ugly expression, “Fine, check on him and see if you,pretending to be a doctor, can figure anything out. If anything happens to Jesse, none of you will be able to escape!”
Westfield approached the bed and placed one hand on Clarence's left wrist.The bead on his chest indeed reacted, just like before. It was constantly absorbing something from Clarence's body, but this time,it wasn't cold air.Instead, it was a thick and sticky aura. The speed at which these auras were absorbed was slower compared to the cold air, but as soon as they passed through Westfield's palm, they immediately transformed into that cold air before being completely absorbed by the bead.
Westfield could even sense that the cold air, transformed through this process,was even cooler and more concentrated. It was as if it were undergoing some kind of purification, and even the cold air in his own body grew stronger alongside it.
Furthermore, as these dense auras were sucked out and transformed,Clarence's deathly pale face visibly lightened. Realizing this, Westfield's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these auras were the reason behind the old man's sickness?
These were toxins, no? This meant that the bead also could detoxify and purify things!
"After pretending to look for so long, what can you actually see?" Zachary spoke impatiently.
Only then did Westfield retract his hand and ignore Zachary. He then looked at Madison and said,"I've already figured out Clarence's condition. If you trust me, I can detoxify him right away!" "Nonsense! You're saying you can treat him? Who are you trying to fool?No,I absolutely disagree with this guy's reckless actions!" Zachary jumped up,speaking bluntly to the three of them.
"What's all this noise about? We could hear you from afar! Don't you know this is Jesse's room?" Just then, a man's voice grew closer as a group of people appeared at the door.
"Anthony, please tell Madison to stop. She actually brought in some stranger who claims he can treat Jesse!" Zachary shouted even louder when he saw the newcomer, explaining to the middle-aged man leading the group.
The man was none other than Eugene, Clarence's eldest son. He was wearing suit and was quite overweight, giving him a somewhat silly appearance.
“Madison, what's going on here?" Eugene furrowed his brows, asking Madison after looking at Westfield.
Madison defended herself in front of Eugene, "Roger, don't listen to him. Westfield is just my friend who came with Ridgeland today to hang out! On the other hand,Zachary invited some foreign doctor to treat Jesse. However,he asked me for ten million before even treating the illness!"
