Chapter 73


    “No, you don’t have to do that. I just want an herb from you,” Pearl said with sparkling eyes.


    The doctor, a renowned modern physician at the hospital, frowned upon hearing her request for an herb.


    “What do you need


    that herb for?”


    “I need it for something. Just say yes or no,”


    After some contemtion, the doctor nodded and agreed to it.


    Smiling with satisfaction, Pearl took out a porcin–white bottle from her pocket. It had a crystal–


    like appearance with a slight bluish tint.


    Pearl unscrewed the bottle, poured its green potion on Richard’s back, and rubbed it on his back gently.


    A cool sensation spread across Richard’s back, and the pain from the burn lessened significantly.


    “I’ll apply this on your back once a day, and in about a week, you’ll be nearly healed.”


    The doctor’s eyes widened in disbelief. “A week? How is that even possible? You can’t achieve that even

    “It’s because I know I can do it,” Pearl replied confidently, her eyes gleaming with confidence and fearles

    “I hope you won’t be embarrassed by then.”


    She scoffed. “We’ll see about that.”


    Silent, Richard’s mind raced with thoughts and doubts.

    However, he had no choice but to wait for the final result since he couldn’t see his own back

    The doctor had thoroughly examined Richard’s severe burn earlier and had made a bet with Pearl becaus


    Incredulous, he touched Richard’s back and the faint scar. “Wow, it’s like a miracle…”

    Richard naturally heard the change in Doctor Paul Jenkins‘ tone and was surprised too.


    “Is our bet still valid?” Pearl inquired, eager to know whether Paul would honor their agreement.


    Paul nodded excitedly. “Yes, of course it’s valid. What do you want, Miss?”


    Pearl touched her chin and thought for a moment. “I want Cuza Root.”
