Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: The Condition

Jacob raised a single eyebrow, a faint, knowing smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Forgive me, that was a bit forward of me,” he said, his voice calm yet sincere. “But his health has always been my greatest worry. If there truly is a way to cure him, I’m prepared to pay whatever it takes.”

Lillian blinked slightly, caught off guard by his earnestness. In powerful circles, a devoted son was a rare and precious thing. She nodded thoughtfully. “Mr. Larson, your dedication is truly commendable. But you don’t need to seek out my master—because I can cure Mr. Arron myself.”

Her words hung in the air, stunning both Jacob and Mr. Arron. For years, they had consulted countless top-tier medical experts, yet none had dared to promise a full recovery. The best they offered was cautious, conservative treatment. And now, a young woman had just confidently declared she could heal him completely.

Jacob’s eyes narrowed slightly, urgency creeping into his tone. “Are you absolutely certain?”

“Yes,” Lillian replied steadily. “Mr. Arron has already witnessed my medical skills firsthand. When I managed to wake him during a critical emergency in mere moments, that was just the beginning. I am confident I can treat him fully.”

Mr. Arron, who had long accepted the grim reality of his declining health, suddenly felt a flicker of hope. It was as if a man dangling from a precipice had spotted a lifeline just within reach. His voice was cautious but laced with yearning. “Can you really do it?”

Lillian met his gaze without hesitation. “I can.”

Jacob tapped his fingers lightly against his teacup, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. “Ms. Harrington, what do you want in return?”

A businessman through and through, Jacob understood that nothing in this world came without a price.

Lillian wasn’t offended by his skepticism—it was only natural for someone like Jacob Larson to question an offer that seemed too good to be true.

With a slight, knowing smile, she replied, “Mr. Larson, you just said you’d pay any price. So why ask now?”

Her words made Mr. Arron burst into a hearty laugh. “Jacob! Finally, someone put you in your place—that’s a rare sight.”

Jacob chuckled, shaking his head with a mixture of amusement and respect. “Ms. Harrington, that was shortsighted of me. My apologies. Whatever you ask, I will do my utmost to fulfill it.”

Lillian held his gaze, unfazed. “Then I won’t beat around the bush. Mr. Larson, I have only one request: Skyreach Group is expanding in Solara, and I would appreciate your support.”

She smiled, eyes sparkling with quiet confidence. “Of course, this should be quite simple for someone of your influence.”

She knew enough about the Larson family’s reach—they wielded power freely in Solara, extending their influence far beyond the city’s wealthiest elites. Their network spanned multiple industries, built on a foundation of strategic alliances and deep connections.
