Avery’s entire body turned cold.
She felt like a joke was being played on her!
Even if she was the most incredible doctor in the world, she would not be able to bring the dead back to life!
“Miss Tate, this is my dearest daughter. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world.” David said as he leaned closer to Avery. His voice had a hint of mockery and insanity in it.
“Can you cure her? If you can then I’m willing to give you anything you want!”
With reddened eyes, Avery shoved him aside and snapped, “You’re insane! How am I supposed to cure her when she’s already dead?! I can only treat people who are alive. I’ve never said that my skills were so great to the point that I can bring back the dead!”
“People told me that you’re James Hough’s last pupil, and that your medical skills surpassed his! Why can’t you cure the dead?! How could you know if you don’t try it?!” David grabbed onto Avery’s arm and did not let her leave. “Where do you think you’re going, Miss Tate? This is your home from now on!”
Avery felt like her heart had fallen into an icy abyss.
She suddenly realized that the one who needed medical help was not the dead woman in the ice casket, but the living man standing in front of her!
He was not a normal person at all!
Now that she had fallen into his grasp, she could either bring his daughter back to life, or die in his hands.
The former was impossible. She would not be able to revive his daughter even if she sacrificed her own life.
Did that mean that death was the only option forza her?
She refused to give in…
“Let me go! If it’s money that you want, I’ll give you however much you ask for… I’m begging you! Let me go!” Avery’s eyes welled up with tears of fear.
She had thought that she had run out of tears that morning, but she was wrong. She just needed to suffer a stronger blow.
Now that it was confirmed that there was no way for her to escape this place, a wave of hopelessness overcame her!
All of her reason flew out of the window as she tried to escape David’s grip with all her might.
