Xavier spoke, "Indeed, we can discuss the compensation later. Speaking of which, we have some connection with Dr. Deanna as well."
Old Hughes looked at Deanna and then at them, somewhat surprised. "Oh? You know each other?"
Xavier smiled and explained their encounter, "Well, Mr. Mercer and I were in a car together when we had a little traffic dispute with Miss Jones on the road. Our cars collided, and that's how we met. Little did we know that Miss Jones was such a skilled doctor."
Mentioning this incident brought about a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Xavier turned to Deanna and spoke earnestly, "Miss Jones, regarding the car accident, we won't pursue it any further and won't ask for any compensation from you. In fact, if possible, we would like to hire you as Mr. Mercer's personal doctor. You can name your price."
Lance remained silent, which meant he agreed.
Deanna was taken aback, not expecting things to develop this way.
It was too sudden, and she hadn't thought about all of this. Her mind was a bit chaotic.
But now she had to respond.
She instinctively spoke, "I can't accept being called skilled. If I were truly skilled, I wouldn't be living such a difficult life."
Her words were both modest and self-deprecating.
Given her current destitute state, how dared she claim to be a skilled doctor?
However, her mention of a "difficult life" seemed like a polite refusal.
"If Miss Jones is dissatisfied with our offer, don't hesitate to name your price," Lance finally spoke, and it was the first time Deanna heard him speak.
His voice was pleasant, deep, and magnetic, like the low whisper of a Siren, captivating and matching his stunning face.
Deanna pondered his identity. This man seemed wealthy and influential; his background was immeasurable.
If she were to accept their offer for the sake of the hundred thousand dollars and failed to cure him properly, she would bear responsibility and repay more than a hundred thousand dollars.
The best way would be to repay the money and sever ties with them, living her own simple life.
Thinking this through, she politely expressed her refusal, "I know my own abilities. I don't have the capability."
