Chapter 774 A Catalyst
Seeing how Alex had paused mid-sentence, panic surged within David’s mind. He sprang up from hisseat and asked anxiously, “Dr. Jefferson, is there no way to cure me?”
Frowning. Alex replied, “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to treat you. A simple disinfection procedurewon’t be enough to resolve the issue because you’ve consumed the concoction others made youThose had accelerated the rotting of your genitals.”
“If that’s the case, can you do anything about it, Dr. Jefferson?” David asked once Alex finishedexplaining the cause and effect of his situation.
“There’s still something I can do, but-” Alex paused halfway through his orated speech.
“What is it, Dr. Jefferson?”
“I’m afraid you’re going to give up halfway through our treatment.”
“You don’t have to worry about that, Dr. Jefferson! As long as you can heal me, I’ll brace myself throughwhatever treatment you have planned for me!” David announced with a determined look.
Having this condition is already making me wish for death. I’ll do whatever it takes as long as I can dosomething to stop it from rotting!
Alex said, “If that’s the case, get me a pen a few pieces of paper.”
A member of the Leighton family returned with the things Alex needed after a few minutes.
Alex listed out twenty herbs that don’t have any effect on David’s condition. The only thing those herbshad in common was their flavor.
They were all extremely bitter herbs. No ordinary people could consume those without retching, letalone a concoction made out of twenty of those.
After Alex listed out the herbs he needed, he handed Nicholas the list and instructed, “I need you to getme these as soon as possible. It should be easy for you since your family is in the pharmaceuticalbusiness.”
Indeed, Nicholas thought it wasn’t much of a challenge to gather the herbs Alex needed since thosewere nothing more than ordinary herbs.
“Dr. Jefferson, I’ll gather and return with these in a short while!” he reassured Alex and sent someoneto gather the required herbs.novelbin
Once the herbs were ready, the essence of the herbs would be extracted until there was merely a bowlof concoction left for the patient’s consumption.
Meanwhile, Callum was in bad shape because David’s men had no reason to show him any mercy.
He was bruised everywhere. In fact, he couldn’t even walk without support. As a result, someone hadto take him to the hall with a stretcher.
Callum was almost rushed to the hospital due to the injuries he had sustained. However, he insisted onstaying there because he wanted to see for himself if Alex could heal David. He was determined to takeAlex out if the man couldn’t honor his promises.
The ones in the hall dismissed Callum’s presence and had their eyes glued to the list Alex handed.Nicholas.
David felt a sense of relief as soon as the members of the Leighton family started preparing theconcoction. He asked in another attempt to alleviate his doubts, “Are you sure that’s all it takes to heal
me?”
Shaking his head, Alex remarked in a callous tone, “I’m afraid that’s not enough because we need acatalyst to stimulate the essence of the herbs.”
Hearing that, a look of confusion was etched on everyone’s faces as they wondered what exactly wasthe catalyst that he needed for the treatment.
Anxious, David couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Jefferson, what sort of catalyst do you need?”
“It’s something that everyone has-feces!”
