Chapter 270 Only I Can Heal Her
48 Pearls
In Edgar’s heart, the hope of seeing his mother recover–able to walk and live normally again—had long been his greatest wish.
Now, with the money Thomas had given him, he finally had the means take her to the best doctors.
And yet, this tactless girl in front of him had the nerve to “curse” his mother’s paralysis, claiming it couldn’t be cured…
Fury surged up in his chest. Edgar couldn’t help clenching his fists. “You say she can’t be cured, and that makes it true? Who do you think you are?”

Edgar’s expression slowly settled.
But inside, everything she’d said was still hitting him like a storm. It was too much to process all at once.
