The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Chapter 35

Dan, however, was completely confused when he arrived at Gerald's residence to find him coughing repeatedly, occasionally spitting blood

“Dan, why did my condition get so bad?” Gerald asked.

Dan could only rub his beard and ask, “Your pulse is a mess. Did you eat anything bad recently?” Gerald shook his head repeatedly. “No... and I took the medicine like you ordered me to..."

That left Dan even more confused, and he growled through his teeth, “Your symptoms are all so bizarre. This is beyond me now.”

“What?! How?!" Tidus Simmons cried, grabbing his arms. “You're the best healer in Riverton! You have to save my father!”

“I'd rather nothing happen to him too,” Dan said bitterly. “But I have limits, and...”

With that, Vicky hung up.

Seeing that his father was lowering his phone, Tidus promptly asked, “What did Ms. Turnbull say, Dad?”

Geral took a deep breath. “Ahem... Vicky asked me to look for Frank Lawrence and told me that he can help me.”

“Who's Frank?” Tidus asked, bemused.

Dan explained, “Ms. Turnbull claimed that he treated her paralysis.”

Tidus promptly turned toward Dan. “Do you think we can trust him?”

“He's very young,” Dan said quietly. “However, Ms. Turnbull trusts him profoundly. Since there's nothing to be done with Gerald's condition, there's no harm in letting him try.”

In other words, it was an option in the absence of others.

Seeing that Dan agreed, Tidus promptly rose to his feet. “In that case, I'll go look for him.”

He promptly called Vicky, asking for Frank's address and leaving immediately.

Over at his penthouse suite in Verdant Hotel, Frank was standing before a pill cauldron.

He turned off the fire and opened it, taking three blood-hued pills.

They were called Ichor Pills-he had brewed them using his blood as the prime substance and the panacea cap as a complement. It cleared veins, curing any underlying conditions... and could even bring the dead back to life.

However, every time one was made, it would burn out the brewer in spirit. If anything, Frank's abilit, to make three at once made him an unparalleled genius!
