Chapter 593


    “I’ve seen your medical skills, Hugo. While you’re not bad, you’re nowhere near my level. Do you really


    expect me to believe that only you can cure this illness?” Pearl naturally didn’t buy into Hugo’s ims.


    If this disease could only be treated by him, it would imply that all the great doctors worldwide were


    merely his followers.


    “Believe it or not, this illness is quite unique. Currently, I’m the only one who possesses the knowledge


    to treat it.” Hugo wore a confident smile, adding, “Otherwise, why would your grandfather have only


    invited me to help treat your mother?”


    A shiver ran down Pearl’s spine. She had to admit that Hugo had a valid argument.


    “Nevertheless, whether she receives treatment and when is entirely up to me.” Hugo took a step closer,


    a smug smile on his face as he loomed over Pearl. “If you ever cross me, I can’t guarantee your


    mother’s survival.”


    Pearl stood her ground, crossing her arms, showing no signs of vulnerability. “If you can’t cure it, you


    won’t just offend me. You’ll have the entire Jordan family to contend with. Why bother making threats


    like this?


    To her surprise, Hugo didn’t seem afraid at all. Instead, he burst into wildughter, sounding somewhat


    deranged. “Do you think I’m afraid of death in my current state? You and Richard teamed up to make


    me like this. What have I got left to fear?”


    “What about Jenny? Have you stopped caring about her too?”


    At the mention of this name, Hugo’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not even worthy to mention her


    ΠΑΠΑ


    Pearl sneered, “Honestly, you’re just Jenny’s puppet. What do you gain from being so blindly devoted


    to her?”


    These words sent Hugo into a fury. He advanced, firmly gripping Pearl’s throat. “I told you. You’re not


    worthy of mentioning her name. I assure you that you won’t survive if you dare nder her again.”


    Pearl was nearly choked, gasping for air. She coughed repeatedly, her face turning crimson.


    After all, they were still within the Jordan Residence, so Hugo couldn’t take things too far. He released


    his grip on Pearl when he saw her in distress.


    Pearl fell to the ground due to the force.


    Starting today, if you ever dare toy a finger on Jenny again, I won’t show you any mercy.” His gaze


    drifted downward, noticing Pearl’s slightly disheveled attire. Suddenly, he froze.” How…. How do you


    have a birthmark that resembles a pear blossom on your chest?”


    “You’re insane, Hugo!” Pearl looked up, shooting an enraged re at Hugo Quickly, she rearranged her


    clothing, preparing to stand up.


    However, Hugo crouched down, forcefully pulling open her neckline to examine the birthmark on her


    chest.


    Pearl realized his intent and pped him across the face. “Are you out of your mind?!” Even this p


    failed to snap Hugo back to his senses. He gazed up at Pearl’s furious


    countenance, his voice quivering. “Did youe to Enswood eight years ago?”


    Initially, Pearl thought he was attempting to humiliate her, but seeing his serious expression while


    inquiring about that memory lessened her anger somewhat.


    “So what if I did? And what if I didn’t?”


    “Tell me. Did youe to Enswood or not?” Hugo grew more agitated, and his tone became


    significantly more intense.


    “Yeah.” Pearl nodded, recalling, “Yes, I did. I was nning to study abroad so I visited Enswood…”


    “Did you save a chubby little boy under an old locust tree on the outskirts of the city?” C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
