Chapter 306


    Pearl was in stunned surprise. “A month?”


    “Hmph! I doubt you can do it. If ke doesn’t show signs of improvement in that time, how can you


    im to cure him?” Emma scoffed, her skepticism evident.


    “A month is too long, and by then, his injuries will be almost healed. Just give me two weeks,’ Pearl


    exined calmly.


    Emma had nned to expose Pearl’s ipetence, but she found herself gaping in surprise. Two


    weeks? Are you kidding me? Are you sure you won’t run away?”


    “If I wanted to run, I would have done so when he got hurt,” Pearl retorted, displeased with how Emma


    treated her.


    “I’m sure a young woman like you doesn’t know how to cure people. While you’re exceptional, don’t


    bite off more than you could chew. We should negotiate with a qualified doctor,” Ezra chimed in, also


    doubting Pearl’s abilities. “I’ve already contacted a top-notch doctor, and he’lle to treat ke once


    we’re finished with the negotiation.”


    “What doctor?” Pearl wondered if the doctor was as good as her. She had yet to show her skills.


    Ezra deliberately revealed Simon’s full name, assuming that Pearl might not know of him. ” His name is


    Simon Freeman.”


    It was Simon again.


    Calmly, Pearl said, “It’s been seven months since Simon’s out to save people. I’m sure he’ll nevere


    here to save ke.” Simon wouldn’te unless Pearl specifically requested his help.


    “I’ll bring him here no matter the cost,” Ezra dered, showing his willingness to spare no expense for


    the sake of his beloved grandson.


    Amused, Pearl suggested, “Why don’t you call him and ask if he’s willing toe or not?”


    Her eagerness pushed Ezra to call Simon and put it on speaker mode to avoid being embarrassed in


    front of so many people.

    “Hello, is it Mister Simon?” Ezra sounded extremely polite.


    ‘s, you promised not to withdraw a move. What are you doing, Simon?” Simon’s ce sounded a


    little noisy as if he was arguing with someone.


    Simon asked loudly, “Yes, speaking. May I know why you’re calling?”


    Ezra felt somewhat awkward but maintained his politeness. “I’m Ezra Jordan. I would like to extend an


    invitation for you to treat my grandson. Could you spare the time?”


    “No, I’m busy, and I’m currently abroad. I’m afraid I can’t treat your son,” Simon promptly declined.


    “Just name your price. I’m willing to pay any amount,” Ezra persisted.


    “It’s not about the money… Knight! I have more than I can spend, and I don’t particrly care for


    wealth. While it’s impressive that you managed to get my number, I’ve retired from the


    profession for a while now and have no desire to return to it.”


    Simon made his stance clear, leaving Ezra with a disgruntled expression. As he was about to end the


    call, Pearl leaned closer and spoke up, “You’re ying chess again, Simon.”


    Stupefied, Simon grinned and responded cheerfully, “Oh, it’s Pearl. What happened? What are you


    doing there?”


    After declining Ezra’s request, Simon suddenly seemed quite friendly and familiar with Pearl. This left


    everyone except Glenn astonished and bewildered.


    “That’s not important. Can youe and help treat my cousin? They doubt my abilities.” Pearl


    shrugged helplessly.


    “How dare they doubt you? You’re my protege, and you’re incredibly clever. I felt like I was. taking


    advantage of you when you treated others and mentioned my name… Wait. Your


    cousin? Are you a Jordan?”


    Naturally, Simon was well aware of the Jordan family’s reputation in Bodgow.
