“Chen, why are you hiding it? I know that you cured Wright.” Gerlyn stared at Chen Zhao, puzzled.
“Do you think being able to cure cancer is good or bad?”
“Of course it’s good. You can gain both reputation and wealth. At the same time, patients can stop suffering. You can save millions of people.”
“But I can’t treat everyone. It’s not a normal method. I can’t even teach it to someone else. Perhaps I can save ten people, or a hundred people, but not a thousand people. By then, the entire world will know that I can cure cancer. How do I live? Who do I treat?”
“Chen, I get it. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have rashly said those words just now.”
“Do you suddenly feel that I’m so great?”
“Your words have indeed changed my impression of you.”
“Then let’s go back and restart the activity between the two of us.”
Actually, Chen Zhao had been somewhat reluctant to use the perfect crystal.
He had originally wanted to use the perfect crystal to exchange for the spatial ring from Raz.
He was unsure if Raz was still willing to trade it now that he had crushed the crystal into powder form.
By the time Chen Zhao and Gerlyn returned, it was already 5 a.m. However, the two had no intention of sleeping and they continued until it was past 7 a.m.
Chen Zhao lay exhausted on the bed, while Gerlyn tidied her clothes, getting ready to leave Chen Zhao’s place.
However, before Gerlyn even left, Chen Zhao was awakened by another call.
“Hello… Zola…”
“Chen, can you come over and help me to comfort Daniel?”
“He wants to commit suicide.”
Chen Zhao jumped out from the bed directly. What a tiring life…
“Gerlyn, don’t leave yet. Drive me to Beverly Hills.”
Chen Zhao alighted from Gerlyn’s car feeling dazed. To make things worse, he also had a severe headache.
“Paul, morning…”
“Mr. Chen, why are you here?”
“Zola called me. She said that Daniel has lost control of his emotions.”
“Err… Ms. Zola doesn’t live here. Her house is on the other side of Beverly Hills… Let me take you there.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
Paul drove Chen Zhao to Zola’s house. When they reached, Zola ran out and welcomed Chen Zhao in.
It was similarly a large manor with a few domestic helpers.
When Chen Zhao entered the house, he noticed Manny look at him from upstairs.
Clearly, she had a poor impression of Chen Zhao.
“How’s Daniel?”
“He has been in a very bad mood these few days. Yesterday he almost cut his own wrist. Fortunately, a maid discovered it and snatched the fruit knife from him.”
Zola brought Chen Zhao to Daniel’s room. Chen Zhao knocked on the door.
“I’m going to sleep. Leave now.”
Chen Zhao opened the door immediately, as if he did not hear Daniel’s words.
Right away, Beelzebub ran forward and jumped onto Daniel’s bed.
“You…” When Daniel lifted his blanket and saw Beelzebub’s face, his anger vanished at once.
“Chen… Why are you here?”
“You mom is very worried about you, so I came here to visit you.”
“There’s nothing to be worried about. I’m already a disabled man now.”
Chen Zhao stared at the dispirited Daniel. He still remembered how high-spirited Daniel was when they first met.
At the moment, Daniel seemed to have aged by ten years, with his face covered in messy beard. Perhaps because he had not washed himself for a few days already, his hair was dirty and his face sallow.
Chen Zhao turned his head and glanced at Zola. “Zola, close the door.”
Zola looked at Chen Zhao. After slight hesitation, she still went to close the door.
“Daniel, how much money do you have?”
“Why?”
“I think I might be able to heal him.”
“Stop joking! My entire leg was cut off! Do you think I’m a fool?”
“Fine. Just pretend that I’m joking. If there’s really such a chance, how much are you willing to pay?”
“Chen… Are you kidding?”
Chen Zhao glanced at Zola and remained silent.
“Chen, I know you have some special knowledge. If you can make Daniel walk again, I’ll give you a million dollars.”
“No, I only want Daniel’s money.”
“You…”
“Daniel, how much can you pay to let yourself stand up again?”
“I only have over a hundred thousand dollars… That’s all… Chen, please don’t joke with me like that.”
“Good. From now on, you owe me two hundred thousand dollars.” Chen Zhao turned around and looked at Zola. “Can you find a hidden place for me and Daniel? We might need to stay there for a few days.”
“Chen, are you serious?”
“No, I only want to experience what it feels like to live in Beverly Hills. I’m asking Daniel to stay with me.”
Zola took her phone. “Father, is house 65 on the hilltop vacant? Chen and Daniel want to stay there for a few days. Okay. No problem.”
“I don’t want too many people to know about it, okay?” Chen Zhao stared at Zola with a serious look.
“Not even my father?”
“How many people know about Daniel’s amputation?”
“My father and a few of Daniel’s schoolmates.”
“Chen, are you really able to heal me? Chen…” Daniel became excited.
“If you walk in front of your schoolmates one day, will there be a problem?”
Daniel immediately replied, “No. They have only heard about it and nobody has seen me like this now. I promise you that I wouldn’t tell anyone.”
“Let’s go. Send us to that villa. Oh right… Is the scenery there good?”
“Now?”
“Of course. If you need to prepare, we can also go there a few years later.”
“Now! Let’s go there now.”
Zola sent Chen Zhao and Daniel to the vacant villa herself. The villa was located on the hillside, where one could see the coastline in the distance. It was surrounded by lush, magnificent vegetation and enveloped in fresh, rejuvenating air.
“Chen, do you need anything else?”
“Before Daniel and I appear before all of you again, do not come and disturb us.”
“How many days do you need?”
“No more than a week.”
Chen Zhao had learned the perfect crystal’s uses from Beelzebub and Raymond.
The perfect crystal would not make Daniel’s leg grow out immediately. Instead, the process would take a few days.
Of course, outsiders were not prohibited from watching the process. It was just that Chen Zhao did not want anyone else to see it.
At the same time, he wanted to keep some kind of mystery. Therefore he had asked Zola and the others to not disturb them.
He had chosen here instead of his home precisely so that he could keep this a secret.
Although Chen Zhao lived alone, an entire town with many houses was right outside. He might not be able to maintain the confidentiality of the treatment.
Moreover, Gerlyn would also occasionally visit him, so he had decided to ask Zola for such a villa.
