Finally, everything ended with Selina bowing her head to admit defeat. Everyone soon left.
Leah, Julian, Jackson, Chip, and Selina went into Thirteen Hall.
In Humanity Hall opposite, Peony looked as if someone had cast a spell on her. She grabbed Armstrong’s arm and shook. “Dear, what did Selina say? What did she say? Ten billion?”
Peony felt as if she was dreaming. “She said she’s giving Clarence ten billion? Is that true?”
Her eyes were red and her throat was hoarse. She felt as if someone was squeezing her throat. “How can that punk get ten billion from Selina?”
Miranda smiled bitterly and helplessly, “Mom, Clarence knows medicine. If he can save Bob, is it so strange that the Lawsons are willing to give him ten billion?”
Now, she finally believed that Clarence knew medicine. Plus, the medicine he knew could shatter the heavens and could make ghosts weep.
Peony was still in disbelief. “How can that rascal know medicine? How?”
At that moment, Armstrong rubbed the side of his nose awkwardly. “Ahem ahem, dear, actually… The last time you had a heart attack and needed urgent surgery, Clarence was the one who used his silver needles to get rid of the clotted blood in your body.”
“When was this?” Peony was shocked.
She did not know this.
Armstrong had no choice but to explain what had happened. “It was on my 60th birthday. Kaysen had bought me that fake statue of Mother Mary. We walked into the hospital room just in time to see Clarence removing your hospital gown. Everyone thought Clarence was molesting you.
“But after that, I looked at the surveillance footage and realized that he was actually saving you. I thought at the time that the guy might actually know medicine.”
After listening to Armstrong’s explanation, everyone in the Murphy family looked at each other.
Miranda yelled in agony, “Dad! Why are you only telling me this now?”
She was in tears. She knew she had misunderstood Clarence.
“I didn’t think about it much. Back then, I asked Clarence to endure it for Kaysen’s sake. Who knew?” Armstrong mumbled.
Peony walked to Miranda. “My dear girl, why don’t you talk to Clarence? Tell him to talk to Selina and ask her to give those ten billion dollars to us.”
Armstrong nodded as well. “Right, you’re the only one who can talk to him now.”
Miranda glared at her parents. “I hate you both! You go tell him yourselves if you want to!”
After she said that, she covered her face and ran out of Humanity Hall.
Meanwhile, inside Thirteen Hall and opposite the Murphy family, Gunther and Master Williams were boiling water to make tea.
There was Leah who had come from Beth City, there were VIPs who represented the top three families of Mediterranean City, and there was also the daughter of the biggest millionaire of Maple Country.
Their presence brought light to the humble clinic.
Selina was worried about her father’s condition. “Clarence, I promise I’ll give you the ten billion. Can you please save my father first?”
Her tone had started to soften.
Right now, she had no choice but to give in.
Clarence nodded. “Bring him here.”
Selina had admitted her mistakes and had also agreed to give him ten billion. Hence, Clarence would not continue playing hard to get.
“Okay!” Selina immediately replied and ran out of Thirteen Hall.
Less than three minutes later, Bob was carried into the place.
Initially, Selina thought that Clarence would definitely give in to her tricks. She had brought her father with her, placing him in an ambulance on the next street.
When Clarence saw Bob, his expression became solemn. “Master Williams, carry the patient into the back for me.”
“Yes, Master Howard.” Master Williams stopped what he was doing. He did not dare to waste any time as he carried Bob into the back with Clarence.
Selina followed them hurriedly. “Master Howard, can you really save my father?”
Clarence shook his head and stopped Selina. “If this was three days ago, I would definitely be able to save him, but now, I can’t be certain. You delayed this for three whole days, thus missing the best time to save him. I only have about half a chance of saving him now.”
“Huh?” Selina’s face turned gray with extreme remorse.
If she had known that this would happen, she would not have cared so much about her image. She would have immediately admitted defeat and buttered Clarence up. That way, she could have saved her father with ten billion bucks.
However, it was already too late to feel remorse.
Clarence did not have much time to explain things to Selina. He carried Bob into the back with Master Williams, and he asked the others to wait outside.
Three hours passed. Selina was extremely anxious.
Leah did not leave. Julian, Jackson, and Chip cautiously accompanied her.
Three hours later, it was already noon. Clarence came out of the back drenched in sweat. His face looked a little pale.
When Selina saw Clarence, she walked up to him nervously, “Master Howard, how is my father?”
“Why don’t you ask him yourself?” Clarence smiled gently.
“Huh?’
Selina was stunned. “Ask him?”
At this moment, a peal of cheerful laughter was heard. “Hahaha! Selina, I’m fine.”
“Dad?”
Selina’s expression changed. She looked in the direction of the back room in surprise.
Then, she saw Master Williams pushing a wheelchair out of the room.
Bob was sitting in the wheelchair. His face was pale, and there was no color in it. Even though he looked dispirited and listless, he was fine.
Selina’s eyes were red. All of her emotions were displayed on her face. Then, she rushed forward and pounced into Bob’s arms.
Leah looked at Bob in astonishment. Just now, she saw how Bob had been holding on for dear life. He had almost been a corpse when he was being carried inside.
Clarence only needed three hours to miraculously make Bob wake up. He was even in a wheelchair now, not needing strict bed rest?
What a miracle!
Bob patted Selina’s shoulders. “Alright, stop crying. Even though I was unconscious, I could hear everything. I just couldn’t speak. This is all your fault. Go apologize to Master Howard.”
After Bob fell unconscious, his sons had only talked about how to distribute their family’s assets, while Selina was the only one thinking about saving him.
No child would be patient enough to take care of their sick parents for a long time.
He knew how his daughter felt about him now.
Bob had already decided in his heart that he would ask Selina to take over his position in the family in the future.
Seline bowed deeply to Clarence. “Master Howard, I know I was mistaken.”
Clarence shook his head nonchalantly. “You were just too anxious to save your father. Since it’s in the past now, we’ll just let it go.”
“Master Howard, I’ve never respected anyone aside from my father, but today, you have gained my full respect.” At that moment, Selina was completely convinced of Clarence’s prowess. Not only was he good in medicine, but he had also won her over with virtue. She felt ashamed standing in front of him.
When Bob saw Leah, he was surprised. “Master Sanders, why are you here?”
Selina explained everything to him.
Bob came to a realization and put his hands together for Leah. “Thank you for saving my life, Master Sanders. If you weren’t here, Master Howard might not have agreed to save me.”
Leah sighed and shook her head. “I’m friends with you and it’s been so many decades. Of course I couldn’t stand to watch you die like this.”
Leah smiled and turned to look at Clarence. “Clarence, before this, I’d only heard about you being good at medicine. After seeing you with my eyes, I can say that you’re indeed incredible.”
Clarence smiled. “Master Sanders, you speak too highly of me.”
Leah chuckled. “Since you’re so amazing, can you tell me about my current condition?”
Leah had sprung the question on Clarence spontaneously.
Clarence’s expression immediately turned solemn.
He looked at Leah seriously. “You’ve been consuming all kinds of traditional medicine long-term to maintain good health, and you look fine. The report from the hospital was also normal. However, the poison you’ve accumulated in your body is already at a serious level. In about three months, you’ll die without warning.”
Leah’s smile immediately froze.
