Chapter 963
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Thea.
Jonathan was a talented doctor, so no one expected Thea, who lacked medical skills, to accept hisdeadly challenge.
On top of that, her life would be at stake in this duel.
"You?"
Jonathan looked at Thea doubtfully.
Soon, as smile crept on his face.
"Okay, bring me a pen and paper.We'll have this in black and white."
A subordinate quickly approached him, and handed him a pen and a piece of paper.
Thea and Jonathan found a seat among the numerous chairs and tables outside the hospital and satdown.
She took the pen and paper handed over by Jonathan.
Raising her hand, she quickly scribbled an agreement to put her life on the line in this competition andsealed the agreement with her thumbprint.
She casually threw the pen aside and looked at Jonathan grinning like a Cheshire cat right before her.
"Your turn."
Thea gestured to him.
Without any hesitation, Jonathan also signed the agreement.
Wanting to get down to business, Thea looked him in the eye and asked.
"What are the rules?"
Jonathan smiled and said, "We'll use the same rules as before during the medical conference.We'llhave to concoct a poison.This time, there will be no assistant to consume the poison.You'll have to takeit yourself.Additionally, we won’t be preparing an antidote for each other.Our survival will depend solelyon our own capabilities."
"Alright."
Thea did not back down.
Even if she had no understanding of medicine nor knew how to concoct poison, she firmly believed thatshe would be able to withstand the poison.
She stood up and instructed the attendants, "Prepare the herbs."
Century had developed into a large-scale hospital with a complete range of medicinal herbs.
After she gave the order, the doctors of Century Hospital quickly prepared thousands of herbs in justten minutes.
The path in front of Century hospital was wide and thus a perfect venue for this competition.
An area outside had been vacated.
Tables and chairs were set up with several boxes of medical herbs.
Thea looked at Jonathan and gestured to the tables.
"You're older than me.You can have the first go."
Jonathan was slightly put off by Thea’s confidence.
Why was this young woman so confident? Did she learn medical skills during the time he hadn’t seenher? He shook his head thinking that she could not have mastered medical skills in such a short time.
It would take many decades to master the medical skills needed for this contest.He smirked and beganto concoct his poison.
Meanwhile, Thea remained motionless.
"What is Thea doing?"
"Why isn’t she starting yet?"
Onlookers pointed and murmured, unsure of what Thea was planning to do.
Gladys walked toward Thea and grasped her arm worriedly.
"What’re you doing, Thea? You might lose your life here.Hurry up and just admit defeat.It’s better toforfeit than to lose your life."
She had watched the live broadcast of the last medical conference.novelbin
Jonathan was talented in medicine and had defeated countless famous doctors.
Meanwhile, Thea’s medical skills were practically non-existent.
Thea would be digging her grave by insisting on the duel against Jonathan.
The other Callahans walked over to her and started pleading with her.
Lex also tried to persuade her, "Thea, don’t act recklessly.It’s better to lose the hospital than die invain."
David looked at her doubtfully.
"Thea, did you secretly learn how to practice medicine?"
Thea’s face clouded over with doubt and fear.She had no medical skills at all.
The only reason she did this was cause there was no choice.
They were in a generation where the media controlled the world.
With so many media reporters present, she could not act timidly.
Otherwise, they would make indiscriminate reports, then the reputation they’ve built until now would becompletely ruined.She was stalling until James arrived.
Century Hospital’s doctors went silent.
Neither of them had the confidence or courage to take on Jonathan in a duel to the death.
They feared they would be unable to create an antidote to his poison.
