Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What? You’re not leaving? Do you have to get yourself involved in this ss? Clarence, don’t act recklessly. Listen to , leave diterranean City, then we’ll think more about it.”
Jackson, Chip, and Julian were trying to change Clarence’s mind.
Clarence shook his head. “I will cure Leah’s condition.”
Clarence had his own plans.
Emtt had told Clarence before that the other potential successors of the consortiums would try to use all kinds of thods to fight Clarence. As long as Clarence was dead, they stood a chance. Clarence was being forced to fight back now.
He was still weak, so he needed to form an alliance before he could fight.
Coincidentally, Leah was a pretty decent ally.
“You…”
“Clarence, don’t say this just because you’re mad. There are only disadvantages to saving Leah. Listen to us, do you think we want to harm you? It’s best for you get out of the country now. You’ll be safe in another country.”
Jackson and the gang continued attempting to change Clarence’s mind.
Clarence smiled. “I’ve told Leah about her poisoning already, so do you think the person poisoning her will forgive her now? Even if I don’t treat her, she already knows who’s the one poisoning her. She will not forgive that person. If that’s the case, why should I be afraid?”
Everyone was stunned.
Clarence laid down all his cards. “In any case, I know Leah’s been poisoned and you three do too. Do you think the person poisoning her will not cause trouble for you three? If Leah dies, there will be rapid substantial change in Beth City. If the person who poisoned her wants to get rid of witnesses, then you guys might get dragged into this as well.”
Their faces changed. They had to admit that Clarence was right.
As a culprit, the best way to poison sobody was to not let anyone know about it.
Now, almost everyone in Thirteen Hall knew everything…
They could not get away from this anymore.
Clarence shrugged. “Sorry for getting you guys involved. However, the best thing to do now is to treat Leah. With Leah shielding us, the culprit will not act because they will want to prevent harming the innocent. I thought about all of this, so that’s why I insist on saving Leah.”
Jackson, Chip, and Julian looked at each other.
They knew Clarence was right.
Clarence had considered what they had not.
The way the three of them saw Clarence changed.
It seed that Clarence was not just a doctor who knew dicine. He was also very worldly.
“Alright, since you’ve already decided, then I’ll do this with you.” Julian’s expression was solemn.
Jeremy also patted his chest. “Clarence, I’ll…”
Before he could finish, Jackson grabbed his hand and stopped him. “Why are you interfering? How old are you? Co ho with !”
Jackson dragged Jeremy out of Thirteen Hall.
As he did that, he apologized to Clarence. “Master Howard, I’m held back by having a family to feed. The Hayes family is by no ans small. I can’t seal my family’s fate with a statent I made while I was hot-headed. However, if you encounter any difficulties, I will do everything I can to help.”
Jackson frowned. “However, if I had to gamble my whole family on this, I wouldn’t be able to agree to that.”
Clarence nodded to show that he understood. “I understand, Mr. Hayes.”
If he were in Jackson’s shoes, he would do the sa as well.
One could not gamble the survival of a family just because one was hot-headed and wanted to show one’s loyalty to their friends.
If the head of the family did not think clearly, the family was on a path leading to destruction.
Jackson grabbed Jeremy and left Thirteen Hall.
Chip cleared his throat. “Master Howard, if you’re in huge trouble, I have a way to save your life, but if I were to put my entire family on the sa boat as you…”
Chip shook his head.
His intentions were clear.
He was saying, ‘You saved my daughter, and I can save you. However, it would be unrealistic to bring the entire Larson family down with you if it ca to that.’
“I’ll bid my farewell now.”
Chip walked out of Thirteen Hall.
“Please watch your step, Mr. Larson.”
Clarence did not have any odd emotions on his face. Instead, he watched Chip leave with a faint smile on his face.
This was how adults should act. They were driven by their values.
Of course, Clarence did not mind.
He turned around to look at Master Williams, “What about you?”
“Haha, I’m so old. Do you think I’m afraid to die?”
Master Williams laughed. “What else could be new to ? I’ve seen mass starvation, and I’ve experienced flash floods. I’ve even experienced earthquakes! I still practice dicine every day, and I’ve seen too many deaths. Death is nothing to now.”
Gunther also spoke, “I am indebted to Mr. Julian, so my life belongs to him. I won’t shy away as well.”
Johnson shrugged slightly. “Don’t look at , Clarence. Did you forget that you have 10% stock in my company? We’re already in the sa boat. If we die, then we should die together.”
Clarence laughed helplessly. “Why are you saying that? What do you an ‘die’?”
Even though Johnson had started as a thug, he was grateful to Clarence, so he was very loyal.
“Hehe.”
Johnson chuckled.
Many of them had left, though so of them had stayed. Clarence did not say anything.
At that mont, a long-legged beauty walked into Thirteen Hall. She had a lunchbox in her hands. “I’m here with your food.”
Cecilia looked around after she walked in. “Are you done?”
She had co here a long ti ago, but there had been a crowd, so she had not been able to get in.
After that, she saw Leah show up and save Thirteen Hall. Cecilia went ho quietly to make lunch for Clarence.
Clarence smiled. “It’s done. Cecilia, I have to tell you sothing.”
Clarence then told her about Leah’s poison.
Cecilia frowned. “What is the aning of this? Are you trying to chase away? Do you think I’m soone like that? You horrible man! Eat!” Cecilia glared at Clarence and tossed the lunchbox at him.
Cecilia had been making lunch for Clarence for the past few days. After she cooked it at ho, she would bring it to Thirteen Hall.
Clarence scratched the back of his head in embarrassnt and started to eat after opening the lunchbox.
Johnson looked glum. “Cecilia, where’s ours?”
Cecilia rolled her eyes at him. “Get takeout yourselves.”
Johnson smiled bitterly. “Alright, we’ll go out to eat. Everyone, let’s go. I’ll pay. Let’s not disturb these lovers.”
Johnson, Julian, and the gang left Thirteen Hall.
Before they left, they told Clarence to call them if anything happened.
Everything was normal in the afternoon.
Clarence looked at his patients as usual, and Cecilia helped out with odd jobs around the clinic. Due to the chaos in the morning, the popularity of Thirteen Hall was affected. Only a few patients visited.
The situation lasted until closing ti.
When Clarence was about to close up, a familiar figure walked into Thirteen Hall.
When Cecilia saw the woman, her beautiful face fell. “Why are you here again? You and your family are so shaless! You’ve divorced Clarence. Your mother and your sisters even used this opportunity to fra him. Why are you here now? Are you going to continue to beat him while he’s already down?”
Miranda’s face was white, and she bit her red lips. However, she could not admit defeat. “Who are you to dictate whether I can co here or not? Clarence was my ex-husband. Who are you?”
The two of them started fighting.
Miranda was always like this.
Cecilia looked proud. “Oh? So you know that he’s your ex-husband? Well, he’s my husband now. Do you have a problem with that?”
Miranda frowned. “You haven’t gotten a marriage certificate yet. Stop being so shaless!”
Cecilia smirked.. “We’ll go get it tomorrow. So you’d better mind your own business!”
