The Man's Decree novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 You Are A Liar

The moment he saw Jared emerge, William was filled with delight. He then ran up to Jared.

“You’re finally here, young man. This way, please.”

Holding onto Jared’s hand, William heaved a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Sullivan, since I have made you a promise, I would definitely turn up.”

Jared was cognizant that William was worried that he would stand him up.

Feeling embarrassed, William could only smile awkwardly. “After you, young man.”

Given how servile William was behaving, everyone in the hotel wondered who Jared was.

When Josephine saw how proudly Jared was walking in contrast to her obeisant father, she fumed, “What’s wrong with you? My father had waited for you at the door for half an hour, and didn’t you notice that his condition seems to be deteriorating? Do you even know how to heal someone?”

Josephine had resented Jared from the very beginning. However, she gave him the benefit of the doubt after being impressed by how he stopped William’s condition from getting worse.

A short while later, when she noticed William’s cheeks losing color again, she felt Jared was a scammer, looking to cheat them out of their money.

“Josephine, stop making a fuss and apologize at once,” William barked with a stern look on his face.

“There’s no way I’m going to do that. Look, he’s barely a fully grown man. How can he be a miracle doctor? I think he’s nothing but a con artist.”

Glaring at Jared, she felt he was the reason William didn’t want to see the doctor.

When Josephine refused to obey him, William was so furious that he began to have trouble breathing.

Cough! Cough!

Just when he was about to speak, William ended up coughing intensely instead.

“Dad!”

Josephine dashed forward to support William.

Nevertheless, she was given a fright when she saw the black blood William had coughed out.

At the sight of the scene, Jared furrowed his brows at once. Evidently, William’s injury was worse than he thought. In fact, he was surprised how William managed to survive for so long.

“Quick, carry your dad to a room,” Jared ordered Josephine, who was already in a panic.

Unfortunately, she didn’t move at all because she didn’t trust Jared.

Frowning at Josephine’s inaction, Jared snapped, “Do you want to watch him die?”

After she was shouted at, Josephine quickly helped William to a private room in the hotel.

Inside, Jared searched for William’s pulse right away. However, his expression turned grim the moment he did.
