Seeing Jermaine run out of the room in a panic, Theodore quickly approached him. “Mr. Cadden...”
“Theodore, you're still here?” Jermaine blurted, surprised to see that he was still around.
“Mr. Chance said that Boris couldn't treat your son and claimed that you guys would come out and beg for his help in ten minutes. Everything happened as per his prediction!" Theodore explained.
Only then did Jermaine notice Jared sipping tea on the couch. However, he could not be bothered to berate him as all he cared about at the moment was his son.
Distressed, he walked toward Boris and questioned, “Mr. Yonce, how is my son doing? What exactly is that insect? Why did it come out of his mouth? Please save him!”
Boris found it hard to answer, evident from the troubled look on his face. After all, he did boast of his ability to save Josiah, so Jermaine would not let him off the hook if he backtracked on his claim.
“There's no need to beg him. He can't save your son. If he could, he wouldn't have run out of the room pathetically.” Jared, who sat on the couch, finally spoke.
Jermaine turned his head and looked toward him. Although he did not trust Jared due to the latter's young age, he had no choice but to place his faith in him at that juncture. “Mr. Chance, can you save my son?” he asked.
“I've said it earlier, but you refused to trust me!” Jared replied coldly.
That one statement was sufficient to embarrass Jermaine. It was difficult to describe the mixed feelings that swarmed his heart.
“Mr. Chance, Mr. Cadden was deceived by Boris. I hope you will forgive him and save his son, please!” Theodore implored, worried that Jared would refuse to help out because he bore a grudge against Jermaine for what happened earlier.
