Hearing the doctor’s words, Chloe Reed’s face instantly went pale. She looked at Walker Grant in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, but for a long moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.
"Don’t be afraid. He’s just trying to scare you. I’m not poisoned. The wound just wasn’t treated in time, so it’s a little inflamed, that’s all." Seeing her expression, Walker Grant was pleased, yet also felt a pang of sadness. He smiled at her, trying to soothe her.
The doctor gave him a strange look and then said, "You should go to a proper hospital. I can’t handle a problem like this in my small clinic."
Walker Grant said, "Just give me an anti-inflammatory shot."
The doctor’s brow furrowed. "I told you, I can’t handle it. You..."
But before he could finish, his eyes met Walker Grant’s cold gaze.
Though the man looked sickly and pale, he projected an exceptionally cold aura and carried himself with a noble, extraordinary air. That one frigid glance sent an invisible pressure bearing down, and the doctor felt as if his very soul had trembled.
’This man is not someone I can afford to provoke!’
The doctor subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "I can give you the shot, but... if-if something happens to you, you can’t blame me. You’re the one insisting I do it. I did try to warn you."
"If something happens to me, it will have nothing to do with you," Walker Grant said coolly.
’The anti-inflammatory shot will temporarily keep my condition in check. I can’t collapse now. If something happened to me, what would Chloe do?’
The doctor began to prepare the medication, extremely careful the entire time.
Chloe Reed had been standing silently to the side. It wasn’t until she saw Walker Grant get the shot that she finally spoke. "I... I’m going to the restroom."
Walker Grant said, "Have Daniel Hayes go with you."
He paused, then added, "But don’t let him get too close."
