Chapter 196
Kendrick was the bedrock of the Wright family. If Kendrick were to fall, the other branches of the Wright family would surely seize the chance to suppress his direct lineage.
At that time, the entire Wright Group dynasty would be thrown into turmoil.
Though Rebecca looked quite young, she claimed to have a cure for Kendrick’s allment, and Damian was not one to let such an opportunity slip by.
“Ms. Morris. can your medicine truly heal my father?” Damian asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
Rebecca nodded, “Mr. Wright, I doubt anyone else could cure Kendrick Wright but me.”
Damian continued, “Could you please show me this medicine, Ms. Morris?”
With another nod, Rebecca reached into her bag and produced a small wooden box that appeared quite rustic.
Upon opening the box, there lay a single black pill resembling a Tootsie Roll.
Damian frowned slightly, “Just this one pill can cure my father?”
Rebecca smiled reassuringly, “Don’t underestimate this pill, Mr. Wright. It’s a panacea. I assure you, once Kendrick takes it, he will be cured.”
The system was a powerful entity. Medicine from the system couldn’t be found just anywhere outside. It was bound to cure any disease!
But Damian remained skeptical. After all, if it were true, it would be nothing short of miraculous. His father’s illness had stumped even the most skilled doctors abroad.
“Does this medicine have any side effects?” Damian inquired.
Rebecca hesitated. She knew the pill could cure Kendrick but she didn’t know if there was any side effects. However, at such a moment, even if there were side effects, she could only claim there were none. Otherwise, how could she gain the Wright family’s trust?
And since Kendrick was already of advanced age, any potential side effects seemed less significant.
Rebecca smiled, “Rest assured, Mr. Wright, this medicine has no side effects on the human body.”
To build trust with Damian, Rebecca added, “To be candid, Mr. Wright, I am from the Miraculous medical family. This medicine has been passed down in my family from generation to generation.”
The Miraculous medical family? The legendary doctor of the nation was the patriarch of this family. Damian never imagined he would one day encounter a descendant of such a storied figure.
Could her words hold a shred of truth?
Moreover, for no apparent reason, why would Rebecca seek them out and offer her family’s ancestral medicine to Kendrick?
Noticing Damian’s confusion, Rebecca continued, “People don’t act without reason. If you’re wondering why I’m offering this family heirloom to Kendrick, it’s because I need the help of the Wright family.”
Pausing, she added, “Of course, I won’t ask for any assistance from the Wright family until Kendrick has fully recovered.”
With that, Rebecca looked up at Damian.
“So, Mr. Wright, you needn’t worry about being deceived. There’s no benefit in it for me.”
Hearing this, Damian felt somewhat relieved. After all, Rebecca had her motives. What he feared most was someone with no motives at
all.
Meanwhile, Kendrick heard that the little girl frolicking in the snow nearby was the same person who had saved someone on a plane the other day, and a look of incredulity appeared in his eyes.
He observed this girl, who seemed no different from any other, with a natural love for play, getting excited at the sight of snow. Did she really possess such skills?
“Sir, we’ve run into her again today; perhaps it’s fate. Why not let her have a look at you?” Corrin suggested.
Kendrick had long since given up hope for his health. Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes, “If that’s the case, let’s go
over and see her.”
Seeing Kendrick finally relent, Corrin could hardly contain his excitement. Ignoring the heavy snowfall, he supported Kendrick’s arm. “Let’s go, quickly!”
The two approached Anthea, “Excuse me!”
Anthea was in the middle of shaping a snowball to throw at Sarah when she heard the call and promptly set the snowball aside.
