Caught Him Cheating My Life Restarted (Natalie) novel Chapter 70

Natalie's tone was calm, but every word carried weight.

In this moment, she was the doctor, and he was the patient. What was there to be afraid of?

Terence stared at Natalie. The two locked eyes. He couldn't believe someone actually dared to lecture him.

"I'll let you try. But what if you can't cure my legs?"

Terence's expression turned grim. Natalie was momentarily stunned.

After all, in medicine, there were no guarantees.

"Oh, you're a tough one, aren't you? Took a whip to the back and didn't even scream. I guess old skin is just thicker."

Natalie's pupils contracted. "Martin Doyle, you're not human!"

"That's right, I'm not human. I'm a money-eating beast. Give me lots and lots of money, and I'll stop causing trouble."

Natalie forced herself to stay calm. "How much do you want?"

"Two million."

"Where am I supposed to get that kind of money?"

"If you don't have it, that's fine too. Your mother may be old, but she's still got some charm left. She'll fetch a decent price. And your sister… those bosses will love her."

At that moment, Natalie heard her mother's voice faintly.

"Natalie, don't worry about it! You're not our…"
