The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 43

Scarlett's brow furrowed when she asked, "Mr. Stroud, were you seriously injured in the past?"

Xavier nodded slightly and hummed in response.

She mulled over her thoughts for a moment before continuing, "Your body has quite a lot of issues. I may have a way to help you, but…"

Xavier stared at her. He knew very well that it would be no easy task to deal with whatever he was afflicted with. They were all after-effects of the car accident from years ago.

His personal physician was still researching ways to heal his body even now, but he had been unsuccessful in his attempts thus far.

"Speak freely. I'm aware of the condition of my body. If it cannot be healed, it's not a big deal."

Scarlett shook her head. "If I say I can heal you, then I will heal you. It's just that… I will have to charge a fee."

"A fee?" Xavier asked, stunned.

She nodded. "I've healed many people for free in the past, but rarely do any of them feel gratitude toward me for my efforts. They even think that I'm obligated to save them. However, I'm short of money at the moment, so even if you provide such comfortable accommodations for me, I'm afraid I must still charge you for my services.

"However, this is just me going through the motions. You can pay me as much as you want. Even if you just pay me a dollar, I guarantee you that I will heal you of all your afflictions."

Xavier's lips curled into a smile. For reasons unbeknownst to him, her words soothed his worries and also made him feel confident in his own body.

It felt just like it had a decade ago. He had been convinced that he was going to die, but she had been able to pull him back from the brink of death. Even if she suddenly disappeared from his life, he knew that he would still survive.

His voice had dropped to a low tone when he said, "Okay, I look forward to you curing me."

Scarlett said, "During the treatment period, you will have to abstain from smoking and drinking, Mr. Stroud. You'll also have to ensure that you get seven hours of sleep every day. Can you do it?"
