Chapter 16 The Father?
Her eyes widened slightly, and her blood seemed to flow in reverse. Sofia and Ethan had also asked her about their father. For many years, she had thought about searching for the father of the children, and she had also tried a few times. However, she had always come up empty-handed with no clues. Could the person in front of her be the father of her children? Millions of people had tattoos, and it was inevitable that there were similar ones. Was it really exactly the same? Or was she wrong? She looked over eagerly, wanting to take a closer look at the tattoo, to see if it were the same as what she remembered. Meanwhile, Lucas had already buttoned up all the buttons on the black shirt. The meticulous black shirt was buttoned up to the collar, making his slender figure appear even more charming, giving off a forbidden aura. The tattoo on his chest was also covered tightly, and she had no chance to verify it. She could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Lucas noticed her gaze and frowned. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mason’s urgent pleading. “Young Master, you can’t let go of any chance that can cure you.” Over the years, he had followed the young master to doctor after doctor. How many times had he returned disappointed? It was not easy to meet someone who could treat his illness, how could he give up so easily? Mr. Hawking was also anxious. He had already said a lot. If he continued on it would be pressuring her too much, and he didn’t want to make it seem like he was intentionally making things difficult for Emily. Under everyone’s gaze, Emily suddenly spoke as if she had decided on something. Her voice was firm and steady. “Alright, it is not impossible for me to treat him, but you must sign a guarantee letter for me!”
Everyone looked at her, and their eyes lit up.
“What kind of guarantee?” Lucas also paused and asked. He didn’t understand why she suddenly changed her mind. “If I can’t cure you completely in the future, or if something goes wrong during the
treatment process, you have to promise that you won’t come after me. Also, during the treatment period, the medical expenses will be calculated separately. I can
provide the medicinal herbs, which will also be charged separately! I will pay the 100,000 yuan I promised you in that car accident, but I can’t give you so much money now. You need to wait on that, or deduct it from the treatment fee.”
Her gaze was burning as she met his. After a moment of silence, Mr. Hawking was the first to speak. “Ms. Armstrong, you agreed so readily. Do you know what kind of illness he has? How confident are you in curing him?”
Although she asked them to write a letter of guarantee, the firmness in her tone seemed to be very confident, which brought them a lot of hope. “Mr. Hawking, I don’t have absolute confidence. I can only try. I will try my best.” She turned around and smiled, elegant and graceful. Lucas stared at her and voiced the doubts in his heart, “Wasn’t Ms. Armstrong unwilling just now? Why are you changing your mind? If you don’t want to, you don’t have to force yourself, I don’t want it to be like you had no choice in this matter.” Emily clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
She couldn’t tell them that she changed her mind because she saw the tattoo on his chest and wanted to know his identity, right?
“I am now in debt and I need the money. Why would I look this gift horse in the
mouth?”
She raised her eyebrows and suppressed the emotions in her heart. Lucas pursed his lips and said coldly, “Is that so? Now I need to test you. You can treat me, but you have to show me you have the qualifications to do so.” Emily rolled her eyes inwardly. This person was really… “Mister, everyone has witnessed my work saving you here today. You know full well if | am up to this task or not. Pardon me for being straight with you, but you’re not going to be able to last much longer with your body’s current
condition. If you don’t receive proper treatment, you won’t live another 5 years. Although I can’t promise that I’ll be able to completely cure you, I can at least extend your life span another 10 or 15 years no problem.” When these words were said, everyone was shocked. Then they were elated. “Ms. Armstrong, is what you said true?” Mason was a little puzzled. Did she really have this ability?
Lucas sneered, “Ms. Armstrong, don’t make promises you can’t keep. If you want us to believe you, unless you can list out a specific treatment plan, you still have to go through Grandpa Hawking’s certification.” Mr. Hawking did not contradict Lucas. He also wanted to know how Ms. Armstrong would treat him and also understand her ancient medical skills.
He nodded. “Ms. Armstrong, could you discuss the medicines and treatments you intend to use?”
Emily glanced at Lucas indifferently. Since she had already decided to treat him, there was nothing to hide.
“Mr. Hawking, let’s have a word in private to discuss the treatment plan in detail.”
