Peter was taken aback, and a bad feeling welled up within him.
Although the boy's condition improved after Thora treated him, he became more energetic as a result, but Peter always has some reservations.
He knew illnesses weren't magically cured overnight. Yet, desperation had driven him to seek any available doctor.
Could Neera be telling the truth when she says Thora used such a heinous method on his son?
Lost in contemplation, Peter's concern was evident.
Meanwhile, Clarence grew increasingly agitated.
Scowled, he reprimanded coldly, "Enough of these baseless accusations! The doctor never promised a one-time cure for the child, but she has her ways!"
"Haha!" A mocking chuckle escapes Neera's lips.
"Thora's methods, huh? It's audacious of you to claim that. Thora has little experience with poisons. Did she not tell you?
"In such a brief period, did she determine which toxin afflicted the child? Did she lay out a detailed treatment strategy? Has she traced the origin or identified the current status of this poison? Has she shared any of this information with you?"
The barrage of questions left everyone breathless.
Clarence began to perspire heavily, finding himself cornered and unable to muster a single answer.
Neera then directed her icy stare at Peter, challenging, "If he's at a loss for words, perhaps you can provide answers. Surely, you're more informed about your own son's condition."
Peter, on the other hand, was unable to give an answer.
Thora made no mention of any of this. She simply assessed the situation and gave Gerald an injection. Soon after, the boy awoke, looking much better than before.
Neera's tolerance for Peter's silence grew as time went on.
She knew Thora's tactics all too well.
"It's totally fine if you don't know the answer to my question. Your son was poisoned, and I know exactly how. He's been carrying this toxin since birth because his mother was poisoned while pregnant with him. The toxin slowly permeates his body, resulting in his current state.
"I had consulted with the cream of the crop in the toxicology field. We dedicated a day and night to thorough analysis and finally devised a comprehensive treatment strategy.
"The treatment will take a long time to work, gradually drawing the poison out of the body. Following that, we may formulate a medication to aid in the cure. This report contains important information about your son's health, so please take your time reading it.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can vote right now. A warning, though, if you choose Clarence and something bad happens to your son, it will be too late to change your mind. I won't assist, even if you beg me to."
She delivered a lengthy speech clearly and calmly. Her tone even carried a hint of decisiveness near the end of her explanation.
And that shook Peter to his core. In the end, he gave in to his natural curiosity and read the report..
Clarence quickly interjected, sensing the gravity of the situation.
"Stop listening to her nonsense! From what I can tell, she's just envious! Thora is her teacher's biological daughter; how can her abilities be considered inferior? This is absolutely hilarious!"
Neera snickered and chose not to respond further.
She had served her purpose for coming today and saw no reason to waste any more time with these idiots.
However, Ian, feeling the need to change the tide of opinion, spoke up sternly.
"Mr. Peter, you need to give this some serious consideration. No matter what you do, don't take any chances with your son's life. Mrs. Beauvort's expertise in medicine is well-known; why would she lie to you about it? However, Thora is virtually unknown within the medical community. You need to give this a lot of thought, or your son could end up in the same situation as my boss.
