Chapter 17 by Lorelei Thunder
Its eyes were tiny. It made hissing sounds as it stuck its tongue out. It was very bone-chilling.
“Snake! It’s really a snake!” Dwayne yelled in surprise.
The snake seemed to be shocked. It suddenly slithered out of the hole and was about to get away. It was so small that it would be impossible to find it if it escaped.
Woody appeared at that moment with a glass bottle in hand. He scooped the snake into the bottle and tightened the cap.
The snake was wiggling around the bottle, trapped.
Helen asked with a pale expression, ” What is that, Mr. Henderson?”
Woody set the bottle down and said, It’s a golden snake parasite. It’s one of the most venomous creatures in Greka. People would put their eggs into beverages or food. The victims would ingest the eggs without knowing, and these eggs would hatch inside their stomachs.”
“I knew someone was trying to harm my father!” Helen’s expression turned vicious, with clear bloodlust in her eyes.
“He has already turned over a new leaf, but those people are still coming after him. Find out who’s behind this. I won’t let them off easy!”
Clement said viciously, “Let me know when you find out who did it, Ms. Helen. I’ll bring some people over to teach them a lesson personally.”
At that moment, Mason’s eyes moved a little. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.
“Where is this? What happened to me?”
Helen quickly rushed to his bedside. She was so excited that she started crying.
“Dad, you’re awake. That’s great! You’ve been in a coma for a whole week.
“Don’t cry, Helen. I’m fine.”
Mason forced a smile as he looked at Helen. Then, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw a familiar face.
“Majes- Mr. Henderson. Why are you here?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He almost yelled out “Majestic Ruler” in his excitement.
The name Majestic Ruler was known all over the world. Evil-doers cowered at the mention of his name. The rich were nothing before him. Even the leaders of the greatest nations in the world had to show him some respect.
All of that was highly classified information. Misfortune would fall on anyone who dared leak the information.
Helen only knew that Woody was a miracle doctor. Even the grim reaper backed away in his presence. That was why she addressed him as Mr. Henderson.
Woody said calmly, “Mason, you have a good daughter.”
Mason was overjoyed. He instantly understood what Woody meant.
He quickly said, “You’re too kind, Mr. Henderson. You’ve saved my life again. I have nothing to repay you with. I’m willing to give you my entire fortune as thanks!”
Mason knew Woody’s rules since he had been treated by him before. The wealthy who sought him out for treatment had to pay half of their entire fortune as payment.
It was Mason’s second time getting treatment from Woody. He had already broken the rules, which stated that Woody wouldn’t treat the same person’s illness twice. That was why he raised the price.
Kevin was utterly stunned. Dwayne had told him that Mason was a renowned man in Tiusto City. He had a net worth of billions of dollars.
He was ready to pay Woody his entire fortune right after he woke up. That was an impressive show of resolution.
Was Woody actually a skilled person?
He was even more surprised when Woody shook his head and said, “I only helped you because of your kind deeds in the past few years. You can even say that it was you who saved your life. This is meant to be. I won’t accept any payment this time.”
It was already unbelievable that Mason wanted to give all his money without a second thought. Anyone would be tempted by such a huge amount of money. But Woody turned him down just as soon as he made the offer.
