The Ex-Husband’s Revenge Chapter 42
"What do you think of my mother's condition, Mister Wolf?" Lily asked nervously.
"It's a little complicated, and not that easy for me to try and explain. Fortunately, however, the issue at hand is only a minor problem of inflammation. I believe she'll regain her health if I give her some pressure point
treatment and have her consume some herbal medication for the next couple of days," Leon comforted with a smile.
The treatment that Serena previously received was conducive to her spinal cord recovery, and it was almost fully healed. It was the subsequent complications that made the situation a little trickier.
Those complications posed no serious problem should they be treated in time, but there would be grave consequences if allowed to fester. At best, she would be paralyzed. At worse, her life would be at risk.
"You can cure her? That's great news!" Lily was overjoyed.
She originally intended to just give things a try without placing too high a hope on Leon's medical skills, so it came as a surprise to her when Leon said that it could be
cured.
The news made her just as excited as she was surprised.
"Minor, you say? There's a bunch of professional doctors. in this hospital who can't come close to curing my
mother's illness, and you're telling us it's minor? Don't you see what's happening, Lily? This guy is spouting a load of bull! Don't be fooled by him!"
Jared pulled Lily's arm and scowled at Leon. Leon's words. became the proof Jared needed to show that everything was made-up with the sole purpose of winning over his sister!
"Well…" Lily regained her composure right away as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her head.
The hospital previously informed her that her mother had a spinal cord injury, which was completely inconsistent with Leon's claims of inflammation!
Leon was only an amateur, and it was only natural for her to believe the hospital because they were the authority on the subject.
"Perhaps you misjudged, Mister Wolf? My mother is struggling even to sit up now. It can't be just a minor problem, can it?" Lily asked hesitantly and began to doubt Leon's medical skills. She felt that he did not have
sufficient skills to detect her mother's illness.
"I didn't misjudge it. If I say it can be cured, then that means it can be cured!" Leon said sternly.
"Is that so? Then can you guarantee that you're a
hundred percent confident in curing my mother's illness? "Jared smirked coldly.
"Of course not! No one would dare to give such a guarantee when it comes to healing someone else's illness! That being said, I'm at least ninety percent confident!" Leon said truthfully.
Even if a person suffered the simplest of colds or fevers, no doctor can ever be 100 percent confident in
guaranteeing that the illness can be cured, more so when it was a tricky illness that involved complications.
A success rate of 90 percent was no doubt a very high confidence level!
"I see! Isn't that clear enough for you, Lily? He's just fooling us!" Jared scoffed.
Having already deemed Leon to harbor dishonest intentions, Jared took Leon's less-than-a-hundred- percent confidence level to mean the same as having absolutely no confidence in curing the illness!
Once, Leon, had Lily eating out of the palm of his hand, he can beat around the bush and produce all sorts of excuses to avoid taking responsibility.
"I'm telling the truth, Miss Cameron! I mean it when I say it's curable. If it's not, I would've been upfront and told you that it's not! I have no reason to lie to you guys!"
Leon was not very pleased. He only offered to treat Serena
out of kindness, but Jared just had to question his medical skills time and again.
No one, not even a person with a good temper like him, would be happy at being subject to repeated doubt!
Lily's heart skipped a beat and she immediately had a realization. What Leon said was right in her opinion, because he helped them without expecting anything in return and was not greedy for any monetary compensation. There was no reason for him to lie!
